IBS New York 2023

Extensions are still a huge trend across the world. Learn what your clients are asking for: a concealed extension method where the beaded track is undetectable, worn either up or down. Extension expert, Toni Fountain, will teach you head mapping for extensions, along with danger zones to avoid to create a truly concealed illusion look. You will also learn how to determine how many grams/wefts are needed for an installation, proper stitching and anchor beads and how to cut/blend extensions for seamless results. Toni will also explain how she grew her business by over 200% by offering the concealed illusion extension technique and will provide you with a certificate. After the workshop, Toni will offer all participants video follow up to support your certification.

Students are required to bring:
• Extension bead pliers, one that can both crimp/close and open a bead preferred
• Extension loop needle threader
• Curved needles
• Small scissors
• Single (or double) prong curl clips to hold wefts in place while sewing, minimum 12
• 4 sectioning clips
• Tail comb (or highlighting comb) for sectioning
• Silicone lined micro link beads, size: 5mm outside, 3mm inside-minimum 100 for mannequin head practice
• Spool of nylon thread for extension sewing
• Practice hair: best to bring hand tied hair as it’s thinner and will lay flatter on your client’s head; at least 4 wefts to practice concealed technique.

Included in the workshop:
• Certificate of Completion.
