WHY THIS COURSE

The full install — taught the way pros actually work.

WHAT YOU'LL LEAVE WITH

Six skills, taught from first bead to final QA.

Every outcome is taught chair-side, on real hair, in the order you'll use it.

Master horseshoe sectioning

Place the foundation row at the right anatomical landmarks every time — comfortable, hidden, and natural-falling.

Bead with confidence at any density

Pick the right bead size, threading, and clamping angle for thin, average, or dense hair without guessing.

Stitch a hidden, locked install

Stack wefts cleanly and lock them down with the four-component stitch so seams disappear and clients can wear a ponytail.

Run quality control before you finish

Inspect mobility, tension, and bead positioning so the install holds up at week 8 — not just at the chair.

Stack wefts across multiple rows

Add second-row spacing without telegraphing the install, with corner staircase offsets that disappear into a wear test.

Run a full client install end-to-end

Watch a real install from sectioning to blend and identify every checkpoint you’ve been taught — with no surprises.
