How becoming a hair extension specialist can change your life

Making the decision to train to become a hair extension specialist was the best decision I ever made. Here's why...


If I rewind to 2013, I was a young mum who didn't really know what I wanted to do with my career. I knew being a good mum was the most important thing in the world to me, and that I wanted to spend as much time as I could with my daughter. Not one for offices or the usual 9-5 I wanted to actually ENJOY whatever I chose to do, and make enough money to not have to worry financially. 💷


I had always loved hair and had a background in hairdressing, so I decided to book onto a hair extension training course. The course was 4 weeks long and looking back now wasn't fantastic but it gave me the start I needed to get into the industry. The cost was £4000 which was a LOT of money to me but at the time there weren't many courses to choose from, so I went for it.


One I qualified I worked on a mobile basis and I very much learnt on the job. I soon realised I needed to expand my education and add more method to my offerings. So I invested some of my profits into further training courses and researched the industry with every spare minute I had. I made it a priority to practice as much as possible to perfect my skills.


Within two years this paid off and I was fully booked. Meaning I had 2-3 clients - 5 days a week and I was thriving. This was before the world of social media truly blew up so my marketing was local Facebook groups and Gumtree ads. I worked around my daughters schedule, so when she was at nursery - I worked. Yes there were a few evenings and weekends thrown in but I mainly worked Mon- Fri 9am - 3pm, which was my DREAM.


Make your dreams a reality with our hair extension training courses



So why am I telling you all this?


A few years into starting my own business, I was being asked constantly if I provided hair extension training. I didn't but knew I had so much to offer to anyone wanting to take the steps I did and create their dream career.


I took a course in higher education and qualified to become a hair extension trainer.

Fast forward a few months and my training academy was born.


I wanted to pour all the knowledge I had into my courses, and offer personalised support to my students.


And that's what you get when you become one of my students - the highest quality training combined with advice and guidance from someone who has been there and knows your struggles inside and out.


I want to help my students to have a better work/life balance. I want them to be able to spend time with their children, do the school run, have a social life, all while having a job they truly love.


The hair extension industry is ever-growing. Currently estimated at $4.4 billion.


The best thing about it is you don't need to be a qualified hairdresser to become a hair extension socialist. You do need to have completed a hair extension course but most (mine included) are open to beginners who have no experience working with hair.


What could a career within the hair extension industry can look like for you.



 

What a typical day as a hair extension specialist can look like.


Lets say you're a mum with nursery or school aged children. As a hair extension specialist here's what your day could look like...


8:30am - School/nursery drop off

8:45am - Client one - nano ring maintenance appointment

12pm - Lunch

12:30 pm - Client two - Tape maintenance appointment

3pm - School/nursery run

5pm - Dinner with family

7pm - Kids wind down for bed (bath time, story etc)

8pm - Social media work

9pm - Pop on a film/read a book before bed.



What can you earn in a month as a hair extension specialist?


Your monthly earnings vary depending on the working hours you set yourself and how much effort you put into your business.


As a guide lets say the typical day above is your typical day for four days a week. (We all need a day to ourselves to keep up with the cleaning/self care).


Once you become confident and charging your worth (which comes with a little experience) you can expect to earn roughly £100 per client - this amount does vary depending on area and experience but its a rough guide.


So if you have two clients a day paying £100 each that's £100 x 2 = £200.

Working 4 days per week £200 x 4 = £800

Over 4 weeks that's £800 x 4 = £2400 per month.

Over 12 months that's £2400 x 12 = £28,800


OR


Lets say you only want to work 1-2 days a week, working evenings or weekends and are setting up a side hustle as a hair extension specialist.


That could be 2 clients a week at £100 per client which is:

£200 per week

£800 per month.

£9600 per year


With hard work and dedication this is definitely possible.
