Hair extensions are blowing up the hair and beauty industry, and for good reason. Women everywhere want to look and feel good, without having to spend hours on their appearance every morning. That’s what hair extensions can provide. A huge confidence boost thats totally addictive.
Because of their popularity, the world needs skilled hair extension technicians. With the industry's massive growth, knowing how to apply hair extensions has become more than just an added skill; it's a necessity for every hairdresser out there. It’s also an amazing career change or side hustle for complete beginners looking for an exciting, lucrative career.
Although it may look easy, learning how to safely apply, maintain and remove hair extensions takes time and can only be learnt from high quality training, delivered by a highly trained hair extensions expert. Not by watching a couple of YouTube videos unfortunately!
Why Hair Extension Training Matters
According to industry reports, the global hair extensions market was valued at approximately $3.36 billion in 2020 and is projected to reach $5.25 billion by 2027. This growth shows that the hair extension industry isn’t to be slept on.
Professional hair extension training provides students with the knowledge to choose the right type of extensions, whether it's nano rings, tapes, a weave or a hair loss system. Students also need to know how much hair to use, what colours to choose, how to perform a thorough consultation, as well as practical skills and how to write terms and conditions to protect themselves should anything happen.
The Benefits of Online Hair Extension Training
Learning in your own time: Learning online means you can learn when YOU’RE ready. Maybe you’re a mum wanting to learn when the kids are asleep or at school. Or maybe you’re a hairdresser and you need to learn after work. Whatever your schedule looks like, online learning allows you to learn 24/7. What could be better?
You can take your time: Sometimes, an in-person hair extension training course can feel al little rushed, especially if it’s a group course. Everyone learns at a different pace and classroom learning doesn’t always allow for those who need more time. With online learning you can take as much time as you need. No need to rush, ever!
