Wig and Hair Extension Curriculum

Wigs & Hair Extensions

Wigs, extensions and braiding add an extra dimension to your styling skills

It can be hard to commit to one hairstyle. Your guest might want to flirt with pink streaks or feathers...but just for a weekend. Or perhaps they’ve always wanted a sleek bob… but don’t have the patience to wait for their hair to grow back.

Fortunately, wigs, weaves and hair extensions can come to the rescue. With your training, you’ll be able to enhance a guest’s natural hair with extensions, or give them an entirely new head of gorgeous locks with an expertly styled wig. You will help your guest have the hair adventure they’ve always wanted, if only for an afternoon.
