QuoteReplyTopic: extensions course in uk..?? Posted: November 03 2005 at 8:45am
ahh thanx sammy thats cheered me up.. this is something im looking forward to. i have read just about every post on this board lol..and have noticed that even the PRO'S have been askin alot ov questions in the real early posts! so as far as i can see im not the only novice on ere i have already got my guinea pigs that i have done some for and they seem very willing..lol so im not really that bothered what anyone says to me really coz as i say before we all have to start somewhere. but thanx again for your nice comment
we all start somewhere! i i feel that if need to have hairdressing experiance when i have finished this course i will do it!! until then i am paying good money to train to become fully qualified! and will be telling people that i do not cut trim or style the hair before i do it..i really cant see the problem if that was such a major issue surley the people that take the course would have a problem with it. i have checked out every possible thing about this company and cannot find a bad thing about them so yeah im still chuffed to bits! as they say you cant win them all eh!
and why is it not a good thing?? i think its ace!!
Why is it not a good thing that completely novice-to-hairdressing people are able to go out, take a 1 day course and offer treatments to clients that can potentially damage and break their hair? Oh.. i don't know!
Please not: that is not directed towards you directly. I am speaking as a professional.

good on ya nicey, i know we make it look so easy to do but it takes a lot of practice and experience to be a good extensionist. i have seen so many adverts on ebay from people setting up as extensionists who have had no real training and experience but are charging the same price as proficient extensionists. to be a good extensionist you need to know a lot more than just how to install them, every clients hair is different and every clients needs are different.knowledge is POWER!! god i sound like my dad!!!

hi nicey i would suggest you do some sort of hairdressing training first to get to know a little more about hair. its ok to be able to install the extensions but if they require any trimming off or a few layers or a certain style then without any hairdressing training you may be stuck! any problems that arise can be better solved with that little extra knowledge! a little extra knowledge makes you that little bit more competent.if you were to set up in business you may not be able to get the right insurance either. both amanda and myself have hairdressing training under our belts and it is a BIG benefit.
