Hands-on Hair Extension Training in Carmel, Indiana

So here’s the thing… I didn’t build a 6-figure, part-time hair extension business in central Indiana by playing it safe.

And I definitely didn’t get here by dropping $10K+ on extension training that felt like a timeshare pitch in a hotel ballroom full of stylists I had nothing in common with.

I learned the hard way — messy installs, hair slipping (yep, it happened), and those nights staring at my bank account wondering if I had just paid someone to confuse me even more.

Which is why my 1:1 hair extension education and small-group training looks nothing like that.

This is hands-on, stylist-to-stylist learning where I teach you exactly how to build a profitable business with hand-tied extensions, toppers, beaded wefts, and real-world pricing strategy.

This is the part where I grab you by the hand (figuratively, unless you’re into that) and say:
“Here’s the real way to do this. No gatekeeping. No fluff. Just what actually works behind the chair.”

hot takes about extension industry education

Lately, I’ve been getting the major ick watching big-brand extension companies and Instagram hair “gurus” slap insane price tags on education. Like… I get it. We all want to make money. But some of these numbers? Yikes.

We’re doing beautiful, life-changing hair transformations—not performing brain surgery. Let’s all take a breath.

Here’s the difference with me: I’ll give you the actual skills and strategies to build the business you keep daydreaming about—without the overwhelm, the smoke-and-mirrors, or the feeling that you just got played.

My whole mission? Set you up for real, lasting success. For real. The kind where your career feels good, your bank account feels better, and you don’t have to sacrifice your weekends or your sanity to make it happen.

If you’re ready to skip the overpriced fluff and actually learn how to build something powerful… let’s go.

Your dream career starts here.

My why and the Receipts

I built a 6-figure, part-time extension business in under two years after beauty school. No trust fund. No one holding my hand. Just me, a needle and thread, and the refusal to spend my life in black Editor pants from Express, making someone else rich while I count down to PTO.

Before that? I spent a decade in marketing and corporate finance— aka lame ass PowerPoints, balding middle aged executives and soul-sucking meetings at a big-name financial institution.

Then one day I decided, nope.

Quit the cushy paycheck. Went to beauty school. Haven’t looked back once. Now I work less, make more, and I’m about 1,000x happier than I ever was in that corporate box.

I’m trained in seven different methods—traditional, hidden bead, keratins, tape-ins, v-light, mesh integration, and hair toppers. Translation: I’m not married to one “signature method” because I actually know how to do them all, and I choose what’s best for each client’s hair, not what’s best for Instagram bio.

I’ve been in the hair game for over a decade, specializing in extensions for the last five. That’s hundreds of installs, thousands of wefts sewn, and enough before-and-afters to fill a coffee table book.

And here’s the real kicker: my favorite thing? Helping other stylists create careers they’re actually proud of - aligned, profitable, and built on their own terms. No burnout. No gatekeeping. No BS. Just proven strategies and results I can show you 1:1 in real life.
