What hair extensions are best to learn?
One size doesn’t fit all so its important to offer different methods of application to suit different hair types, different client preferences and budgets
You’ll learn all the most popular, newest and most profitable methods of hair extensions when you train with us.
Microrings
These are one of the most popular methods and a great all rounder as they suit all hair types. Microrings are applied using a little metal ring. The extensions we use with microrings are called i tip or stick tip extensions and look a bit like the end of a shoelace. They need the least amount of maintenance and need the least specialised aftercare. They move just like your own hair, last the longest between tightening appointments and can be reused.
You can learn this method in any of our online or in person training options.
Nanorings are teeny tiny extensions so are ideal for fine hair. You can tie your hair up no problem with them as they are almost invisible in hair. Nanorings are 90% smaller than microrings and people don’t really believe just how small they are until they see them in real life.

These are also known as the LA weave method or invisible weave method. They are applied in a track or curtain of hair with beads and, as the name suggests, the beads are hidden. This is a very discrete method of application. They have grown in popularity over the past few years because they are the method the Kardashians often wear to get such long, thick hair. These are great for people with very thick hair or people who want really, really thick hair.

Tape In
Tape in extensions are applied by sandwiching your clients own hair between 2 pieces of tape in extension. These have been made hugely popular by social media like Instagram and TikTok. They sit nicely flat against your head and add a huge amount of length and volume very quickly.

Prebonds
Pre bonded extensions, have a keratin based glue at the top, this is melted using a heated gun then rolled between your fingers into a little bond, when it cools its like a little grain of rice. The hair we use for pre bonds is called U tip or K tip hair.
