A BUSINESS INVESTMENT

Certification can change your business

Extensions is a business model to earn way more, not just a service added behind the chair.

+$32,400 additional revenue

Each new client pays $1,700 for the first install. 12 installs is $20,400.

Each new client also books 5 move-ups at $200 each. That is $12,000 in move-up revenue.

$20,400 from installs plus $12,000 from move-ups is $32,400 added to your gross revenue, on top of what you already earn.

Illustrative. You set your prices. Not a guarantee.

TAUGHT BY

Three stylists. Decades of installs.

You learn from working extensionists who installed the technique on real clients for years before teaching it, with their hands on your work for two full days.
