How We Work
Effective 2026-05-23
Inches publishes editorial observations from publicly available data. Nothing on the Service is a finding of fraud, misconduct, or legal wrongdoing by any person or business. Always verify independently before acting on what you read here.
How we link Beyoncé to her hair sources.
Beyoncé’s page on Inches names 4 stylists and 15 vendor associations. Each row on her page was built like this:
- We start with her publicly named stylists — Arrogant Tae, Kellon Deryck, Neal Farinah, and Kim Kimble. These are documented in press interviews, salon credits, and the stylists’ own public Instagram posts.
- For each stylist, we pull every vendor / supplier they have named publicly (on their feed, in press, in salon-credit lists) and associate that vendor with their celebrity client.
- We assign a confidence rating based on how many independent sources confirm the link:
- 0.92 — Indique Hair via Kellon Deryck (stylist- verified across multiple appearances)
- 0.95 — Raw Indian Hair (Tirumala temple) via Kellon Deryck + direct database match
- 1.00 — Cécred (her own brand, founder-attributed from public web search)
- We show the full vendor list to Pro subscribers along with each vendor’s sourcing location (when public), price range, and the stylist who surfaced them.
The rating is about the public record, not about whether Beyoncé personally confirmed the link. She hasn’t endorsed Inches and hasn’t reviewed our findings — and we say so on every celebrity page.

Inches collects publicly available information about the hair-extension market — listing pages, public storefront pages, public reviews, public Q&A, public stylist credits, public social posts, and published interviews. We aggregate that information, run automated analyses, and present the resulting signals alongside the underlying data.
What our “signals” mean
A signal is an automated observation. Signals are descriptions of patterns in public data; they are not accusations, and they are not certifications. Every signal has a concrete example on our about page.
- “Storefront in claimed origin”means the country field on the seller’s publicly displayed business address matches the country named in the listing’s stated origin. Example: Indian-claimed bundle, seller storefront lists Chennai → we surface this as a match. It does not certify where any product was actually grown, processed, or shipped from.
- “Storefront outside claimed origin” means the two fields above differ. Example: listing reads “raw Indian Remy”, storefront lists Henan, China — we show both fields side-by-side and let you decide. There can be many lawful reasons for this (re-export hubs, multi- warehouse fulfillment, holding companies). We do not assert any improper conduct.
- Photo-fingerprint overlap means the same product image appears across multiple listings. Example: the same hero photo on 6 different Amazon listings under 6 different seller names → typically shared OEM supply.
- Review-velocity cohorts means a clustered burst of reviews. Example: 200 reviews in 6 days on a listing that had 3 reviews per month before → flagged for inspection, not for accusation.
- Copy-template clusters means listings sharing phrasing. Example: the same 4-paragraph description appears across 11 listings → consistent with shared OEM or drop-ship arrangements.
Celebrity-vendor associations
Where Inches associates a public figure with a vendor or stylist, the association is based on publicly documented sources — interviews, published features, brand-campaign disclosures, the figure’s or the stylist’s own public posts, or stylist consensus across their other public clients (which we label “stylist inheritance”). Confidence ratingsare calculated from how many independent sources we found — they reflect the strength of the public record only, not the figure’s personal endorsement.
No public figure named on Inches has endorsed Inches or reviewed our findings. References are editorial. If you are a public figure, stylist, or representative and would like a correction or removal, please use our corrections & legal contact page.
“Verified” terminology
Where the Service uses the word “verified” — for example, “web-verified” beside a celebrity-vendor association — it refers strictly to the existence of a public reference (such as a cited URL). It does not mean the underlying claim has been independently audited or confirmed by the named celebrity, vendor, or any third party.
Salon / business directory
The “leads” directory aggregates publicly available business contact information for hair salons, wig shops, and extension boutiques. Inclusion does not imply that the business has requested contact from Pro subscribers. Subscribers are expected to comply with all applicable laws regarding outreach (including the TCPA, CAN-SPAM, and similar U.S. and international rules) when contacting these businesses. Businesses that would like to be removed should contact us.
Promo codes
Promo codes shown on the Service are mined from publicly visible customer reviews and similar public sources. Codes may be expired, restricted, single-use, or invalid at any time. Inches makes no guarantee that any code will work, and is not responsible for the terms of any third-party promotion. Always confirm at the vendor’s checkout before relying on a code.
No advice
Nothing on the Service is legal, financial, or professional advice. The Service is for informational purposes only.
Corrections
We take accuracy seriously. If you believe a specific data point on the Service is materially inaccurate, please write to us via the corrections & legal contact page, identifying the page URL and the data point in question. We will review and respond promptly.
