In Salon Hair Extension Course

Our in salon tape hair extension course is accredited by the Beauty Guild. This course includes online theory combined with in salon practical training and assessment.

Louise and her team will teach you the fundamentals of how to apply, cut, and style tape  hair extensions. The practical section of the course can be booked once your online theory modules have been completed.

The practical training is a four hour course (with assessment) and is held at our Oxford Circus training academy once per month on a Sunday.

Course Prerequisite

NVQ Level 2 Hair Dressing certification or equivalent. This course is also suitable for anyone who has a passion for hairdressing and that has been working in the hair extension industry for a minimum of 1 year. We will need to see evidence of your work for you to be able to sit this course. This could be an Instagram page or a website of your work etc.

Proof of qualifications will need to be brought on the day or emailed to us whilst booking your course. This prerequisite is in place so that our students get the most out of our course as it will be extremely hard to learn without basic cutting skills.

You will also be required to complete the GTI professional standards online course, which will be included in the cost of this course. The GTI professional standards online course takes between 1 – 5 hours to complete, depending on your prior experience.

GTI Professional Standards

Once you have purchased our in salon training course, our team will enroll you via email and give you access to the GTI course in professional standards for hairdressers within 48 hours. It covers all the essential legislation and professional ethics required for working in the hairdressing industry as specified in the National occupational standards for level 2 and 3 hairdressing.

On completion of the online GTI Professional Standards course, our team will give you access to the online tape hair extension theory manual.

Theory

You will be sent an online theory manual which you can read in your own time; once you have completed the manual, you will be assessed within our online portal, where we will track your progress before starting in the practical classroom. When you have passed the theory element of the course, you will receive a practical session code, which you will pass to Louise’s team to give you access to book your in-salon training date.
