Hair extension courses across the UK

What you’ll learn

The C1 covers the four strand methods that most extension work is built on:

• Keratin Fusion Bonds: individual strands bonded to the natural hair with heat-activated keratin.
• Mini Tubes: strands fixed with small metal cylinders, easy to adjust at maintenance.
• Easy Shrinks: heat-shrink tubes that grip the hair without glue.
• Micro Rings: strands clamped in place with small metal rings, also called micro beads.

Who it suits

Beginners who want a solid grounding in strand extensions, and stylists adding extensions to their services. No previous experience is needed.

What’s included

A full training kit to keep, and an accredited certificate on completion that you can use to arrange insurance.

What you’ll learn

The C2 focuses on wefts, the methods clients ask for when they want fast, full volume:

• Celebrity Weave: wefts sewn onto a fine braid for a full, flat result.
• Micro Ring Weft: wefts secured with micro rings, with no sewing or glue.
• Tape-Ins: pre-taped wefts sandwiched onto thin sections of natural hair.

You can add Nano Rings to the course as an optional upgrade. Nano rings are much smaller than micro rings and suit finer hair.

New technicians who want weft skills, and strand technicians who want to offer weft methods too. No previous experience is needed.
