Weft Extension Foundations: Beginners Edition

This is not another generic class. It’s a one-day, high-intensity training with Nicole McDonell; Master Hair Extensionist, Multi Award Winner, and Trainer & Assessor with 37 years of industry experience, and Hannah Graham Master Stylist, multi award winner, and 15 years industry experience — that’s 52 years of combined expertise. You will leave with a step-by-step system that sets you apart.
