Welcome to our fabulous new X-tend Magazine , packed with all the latest news and updates from Racoon International HQ .

Of special interest in this issue is a feature about our Creative Director , Stephen Messias . He gives us a fascinating insight into his hairdressing journey , including his apprenticeship with the late , great Vidal Sassoon .

We also bring you the latest hot hair news ; covering everything from colour swatch additions to hair upgrades . We illustrate how we have worked tirelessly to offer you top quality products at the most competitive prices . I am sure you will be delighted by the drop in some prices ( by up to 26 percent ). We have even streamlined our pricing structure , making it really easy to price a package for your all-important clients .

Here ’ s even more exciting news ! The wait for the Racoon International Pre-Bonded system is finally over . I was first in the queue to test the new extensions ( which I am sporting in my photo here ). We use the same unique , transluscent bonding as the hot-bonded system , coupled with the new , improved Euro hair . We knew training requests would come in thick and fast and we haven ’ t been disappointed . This new system is already a hit .

So , life in the wonderful world of hair extensions has never been better . We hope you love every aspect of this magazine as much as we have enjoyed bringing it to you . If you have any ideas for the next issue , please don ’ t hesitate to get in touch . We look forward to hearing from you .
