Perfecting your placement:
Determining placement and utilizing unique options for special extension needs.
Hey y’all, I have been doing hair since 2008 and have never really had a focus in the industry until becoming a part of the IBE community. The technical side of this method has challenged me more than I ever thought possible. Over time I’ve become a self-proclaimed “rowaholic”, I live for those major transformations, both big and small, and learning those small transformations can be just as time-consuming and tedious as larger ones. Mixing lengths and specialty rows are something I want all stylists to feel comfortable using! I cannot wait to help you grow in all your skills with placement.
