"Would highly recommend Melissa for hair extension training. I recently trained with her, completing 4 different methods of intense training in 1 day. She had us completely prepped with her online education that we completed before the practical training.

Melissa is a wealth of knowledge, from application to tips & tricks or how to manage your own business, providing us with all types of information from suppliers to price lists.

The kit she supplied is so beautifully created containing everything we need for us starting our extension journey.

We left completely confident in every technique."
