What You'll Learn
Language of Color
Color is a language, and once you learn to speak it, everything changes. Learn how to truly see color before you ever reach for a tube so you can formulate with intention on any client, with any line.
Rooted & Refined
The secret to seamless blends starts with the root. Whether you’re customizing for a soft natural look, or creating a bold, high impact melt, this class gives you the skills to root with purpose.
The Blonde Blueprint
A complete strategy for high-impact, dimensional blondes. Learn creative weft placement, strategic foiling, and rooting techniques that protect bright blonde while enhancing the blend.
Dimension with Intention
Expensive color comes down to doing the right things in the right places. Learn the placement, toning, and finish behind a lived-in bronde and a sunkissed highlift brunette, plus how to photograph your work so it reflects your skill.
From Virgin To Veteran
Discover an AirTouch placement that creates soft, seamless dimension while protecting the integrity of the hair. You will also learn a clear approach to working with virgin wefts.
Color Code
Confidence behind the chair comes from knowing how to respond, not react. Walk through the decision making process behind color correcting wefts so you can diagnose, correct, and prevent with intention.

The foundation of IBE® is in our technique. Joining this course is for the attention-to-detail stylist who wants to take their technique to the next level. In this course we will break down the nuances that go into every single stage of your install from placement lines and scalp elasticity, to beadwork and stitching.
Combined with the classes from our Master Educators, you will submit at least 50 fully installed and grown out rows to our Masters Technique Mentor, who will guide you through troubleshooting and perfecting your rows, one at a time.
Join us for the most thorough extension technique education in the industry, guaranteed to elevate your work behind the chair.
What You'll Learn
Mapping Your Foundation
Every row is only as strong as its foundation. Take a technical look at bone structure, sectioning, and scalp elasticity so you can customize installs for every head shape and avoid high risk placements that cause tension.
Flawless Foundation
Beadwork is the true foundation of every row. Learn how to create consistent beads, maintain even tension, find the correct gap, and use body and hand positioning for a clean, consistent technique.
Clipping & Stitching
These final steps of an install can make or break the row. Master secure weft clipping, correct needle placement, and tight, precise stitching that keeps rows flat, seamless, and healthy.
Advanced Placement
Go beyond traditional 1 and 2 row installs with advanced placement strategies like mini rows and nape rows. You will also strengthen your mindset and consultation skills so every install is fully customized to each client’s unique needs.
Scalp Science
Scalp health directly impacts every install. Learn how to assess elasticity, density, and movement, identify sensitive areas, and use that insight to guide placement, beadwork, and weight distribution.
Troubleshooting
Growouts tell the full story of your work. Learn how to assess them with a critical eye and identify persistent issues you may be facing. This class builds confidence and sharpens your ability to troubleshoot any problem with an expert eye.

Learn how to be better stylists overall who know the what, why, and how behind everything you do.
Understand how the foundations of elevation, over direction and finger angle affect every aspect of your haircuts so you can customize a look for each clients needs and wants.
Come join us while we take a journey through our state of the art custom extension cutting course where we dive deep on angles all while giving you the groundwork to technically and creatively master the art of shaping your clients final look.

Transform any bob with customized placement that enhances density and shape without overwhelming the natural hair. Whether you're adding mini rows or a full install, the right cut is what makes it look like hair, not extensions.
Embracing Curls
