Hi geeks Hope your all having a good friday!!

Im thinking of doing a hair extension course as i have noticed the popularity in my area going up and up. And dont know of anyone in my area who does mobile hair extensions. For those of you who have taken a course i was wondering is £550 too exesive for the course?
This is what i will be learning

We will teach you how to:

• How to do the correct client consultation
• How to extend hair using TWO different methods
• How to fit Hot Fusion Bonding Glue Hair Extensions
• How to fit Amazing No Glue Hair Extensions (Micro Rings)
• How to fit Human Hair Extensions
• How to fit Synthetic Hair Extensions
• How to apply a full head, half a head and fill in extensions
• How to get highlights & lowlights
• How to do the perfect colour match

• How to care for your clients hair
• Promote aftercare & maintenance of the hair extensions
• How to remove hair extensions
• How to promote your hair extension business
• How to make money in the hair extension business
• How to aim for your correct client types
• How to get quality hair at the correct price

What do you think? Pretty good? Or not good ? x
P.s this price includes the whole kit too

seems pretty good to me hun , but are they a recognised firm ? its just a few geeks have had probs with unreliable training in the hair ext catagory , hth xxx

here is the link: KM HAIR EXTENSION TRAINING COURSE : Hair Course 1

Any other opinions? x

tammyleicester would be good to ask... she did a course... here is her profile so you can pm her... http://www.salongeek.com/members/tammyleicester.html

Whats the companies name you will be training with?

I have seen that website before but I have not heard of this company. I would do some digging around before handing any amount of money over. There is another hair extension training thread on here do a search and see if you can find it as there is some reputable companies on there who you could ring and also compare prices and what your actually getting for your money and if the methods they are offering is what you actually want to train in.

Hair extension training

Thanks for all the info very helpfull thank you I am a bit wary of this company as i havent heard of them before either and they dont seem to put much information on here as to about the certificate you get at the end of it and the insurance side etc.. Ill have a good old search on here and have a think, ill also ring the company monday.

Also if anyone has used this company any reviews will be much appreciated

Thanks geekies

I wounder if you can ask them for references...??

Hmm good point, will have to look into that..This is the only place ive found in my area that trains in hair extensions

Hi you could try Salons Direct ,
they are a hairdressing wholesalers and run courses with Balmain .
Their training is immensely thorough and good.

Although I am not a fan of their actual hair eg (the single pre bonded that is ) some hair geeks love their hair especially the Double hair .
perhaps you could get in touch with Salons Direct and ask them about the Balmain courses . x

Thanks for the info hun Ive looked on their website and all i can find is a hair extension training dvd is that what the training is?xxx

Hi, its a full course it starts with the first part called colour and design,
here you learn the basic application of pre bonded hair extensions how to re bond the same hair extensions after they have been taken back out after three months wear , it goes into great detail,

The morning is for learning about everything,

and the afternoon is for the practical session where you practice on false model heads and also you have to know how to razor cut the hair.

So although you don't have to be a fully trained hairdresser you need to be learning hairdressing , so that you can gain a certificate which is NVQ accredited

Oh thats usefull information, Ill do some searches on the net have a read up about the balmain courses, thank you for your help hun xxx

on the question? is the price for this right? yes its about average for a hair extension course. It is extremely difficult to get HABIA APPROVAL, and can take up to 12 months before approval is finally given.
