What a First Day on a Hair Extension Course Often Involves

Providers run their days differently, so treat this as a general picture and confirm the details with whoever runs your course.

The start

Most days begin with introductions and a talk about hair, scalp health and safety. You are likely to meet the tools and products you will use.

The practical part

Expect to learn by doing: sectioning, fitting and, usually, removal, with a teacher watching and correcting. You will probably practise on a training head.

What to bring

• Tied-back hair and comfortable shoes
• A notebook and a pen
• Questions written down in advance

What to ask beforehand

• What time does it start and finish?
• Is lunch provided, or should I bring my own?
• Is there anything I should not wear?
