As many more salons are beginning to stock Feather Hair Extensions the trend continues inland. No longer stocking Feather Extensions exclusively in the metropolitan areas we are seeing more and more order shipped to rural locations. With the rise of google searches for such terms as "feather hair extensions Australia" and "hair feathers Australia" we expect the trend to continue on in other states than just the East coast. Western Australia has had a major pump to the industry over there and we are seeing FlockStocks on many shelves across the state.

We will continue to release further Feather Hair Extension promotional material to help our stockists sell-through in store with new poster designs and sizes ready for release next week and a new dynamic promo display yet to be revealed - keep updated on our Facebook page...

Stay tuned for more Australian Feather Hair Extension news here at Flockstocks.
