Hair Extension Course
The Hair Extensions Course in Leeds at Beauty-licious Academy is a beginner-friendly, ABT accredited training course designed to teach you how to apply some of the most in-demand hair extension methods within the industry.
This course is ideal for those looking to start a career in hair extensions or add a high-income service to their existing beauty or hair business.
During this training, you will learn how to professionally apply three popular hair extension methods:
Tape-In Hair Extensions
Tape-in extensions use pre-taped wefts with a medical-grade adhesive, typically around one inch wide. They are lightweight, discreet, and lie flat against the head, making them a popular choice for clients seeking a natural-looking result. Tape extensions can be made from human, Remy, or synthetic hair, depending on client preference.
Micro Beads (I-Tip) Hair Extensions
Micro bead extensions, also known as micro ring or I-tip extensions, are applied using a cold fusion method. Small sections of hair are attached using a metal bead with a silicone lining, securing the extension without the use of heat or glue.
Track Weft Hair Extensions
The track weft method involves creating a secure base using micro rings, forming a track along the hair. A weft of hair is then attached to this track, providing added volume and length with a strong and long-lasting hold.
At Beauty-licious Academy Leeds, we specialise in fast-track, ABT accredited beauty courses that provide you with the practical skills, knowledge, and confidence to begin offering professional services.
