MODULE 2Color matching & blendingReading undertones, multi-pack blending and the cutting techniques that make extensions invisible in daylight — not just in photos.
MODULE 3Removal & hair healthSafe removal for every method, grow-out assessment and the honest conversations that protect the client's hair — and your reputation.

Career & income

Extensions are the highest average ticket in hair services: $300–1,500+ per installation in the Pensacola market, with built-in maintenance visits every 6–8 weeks — a base of regular extension clients creates a recurring-visit rhythm.

Median pay for hairdressers, hairstylists & cosmetologists is $35,420/yr nationally before tips — extension services position well above entry-level pricing. Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook, May 2024 data. National medians before tips; tips and self-employment income are not included. Not a promise or guarantee of income.

Questions

Installing extensions professionally in Florida generally falls under cosmetology services. Many students pair this course with the Cosmetology program — ask admissions for the bundle path.

It is the highest average ticket in hair services, with built-in maintenance visits every 6–8 weeks.

You do not have to choose during training — you try all four. Most graduates lead with the method their first clients ask for and keep the others for consultations.

No. We teach supplier selection and quality checks, and the starter kit works with hair from any professional supplier.

New specialists typically open at $300–500 for method-and-blend installs and raise prices as the portfolio grows — aftercare visits keep the ticket recurring.
