"This class was amazing. It was a unique experience and I feel ready to offer this to my clients who deserve it. I learned so much, from measuring and knowing how much coverage someone needs, to customizing and creating a unique hair piece. Beautiful work. Thanks so much Dom!!"

"Dominique did an excellent job answering all my questions and the hands on training was very helpful in understanding alternative hair. Dominique shared her personal story about hair loss which helped me understand better what my clients are going through. I’m excited to finally have a solution for my clients!"

"This class was fantastic. It was so informative and Dominique was a phenomenal educator. I loved that we had so much hands on experience during the class. We are happy that we can now have more options for our clients who are experiencing hair loss."

BETH

"This class was amazing. So informative about alternative hair. As an extension specialist one of the hardest things to do is turn away a client who is desperately searching for a solution to a hair issue. With the knowledge and confidence I have gained from this class I can now give a solution to clients that have or are experiencing hair loss issues."
