Lately, we have been seeing extensions used for more than just lengthening and volumnizing hair. Extensions can be used to add face-framing layers, highlights or fringe, and can be rotated for wear as often as clothes in your closet, a la Kylie Jenner.

With more than 20 classes and workshops focused on extensions, there is no excuse not to amp up your knowledge of extensions to boost your profits and diversify your clientele.
