Program
With easy-to-follow instruction, open dialogue, and continuous Q&A, you’ll never feel lost or overlooked.

And because we believe in setting you up for real-world success, every student receives a complete extension kit, giving you everything you need to start taking clients immediately after graduation—plus extra bonus perks you’ll love.
MODEL INFORMATION
You’ll secure a model for the final test-out and while the installation service is complimentary, Models are required only to purchase their own extension hair.
Extension hair MUST be hand tied, hybrid or genius weft to complete the program. You are welcome to arrange a time to bring your model to Elevate for color matching and ordering hair directly through the salon. If you struggle to find a model, please let us know asap and we will post a model call on our socials. *Remember, the goal is for you to get comfortable having the conversation about cost, finding a clientele that fit your goals and building confidence.
