Hi All,
I'm currently undergoing online training course with Maxwell Melia to learn 5 different methods - LA Weave, Nano bonds, Micro bonds, Fusion bonds and tapes.
I'll be honest I'm not feeling overly confident because the mannequin head is so difficult to use, I can't get straight lines, the hair is rubbish and I'm just getting frustrated with myself. I can't even do the LA Weave, finding following the instructions on video quite hard. I have attached photos of micro bonds, tapes and nanos I have been practicing so far.
I think I may need to start practicing on people but I don't feel confident. I need 2 live models to be able to pass the course but I'm really nervous about actually working on someones hair that I don't know (none of my family or friends want or need extensions). I worry that I don't match the colour correctly or not enough extensions for their hair... I won't be charging for fitting but the hair on it's own for people is a lot and I don't want to mess it up
Just looking for some reassurance from others who were feeling like this when they first started really?
Also some advice on how to go about getting live models? Did you explain that you were still training and may take longer? Is there a script I can give them to make sure they understand I will be following instructions while fitting the hair?
Any help/advice is much appreciated!
