So, you're probably reading this and stumbled across this post thinking, "Can I do a hair extension course without knowing a thing about hairdressing?" Well, guess what? The quick answer is: Yes, you absolutely can!
Who Can Apply?
Alright, so you're probably wondering who can sign up for a hair extension course, especially if you're not exactly a pro with scissors and combs. At Image London Academy, we're all about inclusivity. Everyone's welcome here, whether you're just starting out or have years of experience in hair.
The most significant misconception people have is that they automatically know their way around hair extensions just because they are in the hair industry. This couldn't be further from the truth. Our courses are built from the ground up with beginners like you in mind. We start with the basics and work our way up, making sure you understand every step of the way – even if you already "know hair". The techniques hairdressers learn sometimes differ from the skills you need for extensions.
Why You Should Enrol
So, why should you enrol? Picture this: you've always had a thing for hair. Maybe you're a total newbie, but you've got that itch to learn something new, to master a skill that's all about making people feel fantastic about themselves. Or you're already in the hair game but looking to level up to add serious fire to your toolkit.
That's where we come in. Our courses are designed to fit YOU, no matter where you're at in your hair journey. We keep our classes small, so you get the attention you need to soak up all that knowledge. And our trainers are the real deal – experienced, passionate, and ready to help you unleash your hair extension business potential.
But here's the best part – we're all about options. You can choose the methods you want to learn, mix and match to create your perfect course. None of that one-size-fits-all nonsense here. And hey, we get it – money can be tight sometimes. That's why we offer payment plans, so you can spread the cost from as low as £60 per month and focus on what matters – becoming the best hair extension specialist you can be in your area.
What You'll Learn
When you enrol in our hair extension courses, you'll cover a range of techniques and skills essential for working with hair extensions. Here's a sneak peek at what our courses include:
- Individual Consultation: Understanding your client's needs and choosing the right type of extensions.
- Health and Safety Info: Ensuring all procedures are safe for you and your clients.
- Colour Matching: Perfecting the art of matching extensions to natural hair.
- Hair Structuring: Learning to structure and style extensions for a natural look.
- Ordering Hair: Knowing where and how to order the best quality hair.
- Fitting and Removing Extensions: Mastering the application and removing different extension methods.

Ongoing Support
Learning something new can be scary, but you're never alone with us. We've got your back every step of the way, from day one of class to years down the road. Our support continues even when the course does. We provide lifetime support through WhatsApp, ensuring you have access to expert guidance even after completing the course.
Mobile Technician
Once you've completed our course, freelance as a mobile hair extension technician. This path offers numerous benefits, from the freedom and flexibility to work with as many clients and as many hours as you like to increase your take-home pay and claiming essential things like travel costs on expenses.
To be a successful mobile technician, you need two skills. The first is mastering your trade. The second is self-promotion in the form of marketing. This involves creating firm social media profiles, word-of-mouth marketing, and possibly even old-fashioned leaflet drops in your local area. Remember, you're not selling a service. You're selling yourself and your ability to do the service.

Whether you're a beginner or looking to expand your skills, our courses at Image London Academy are designed to equip you with everything you need to succeed.
