Why Getting Certified In Hair Extensions Should Be Your Next Career Move

In the beauty industry, clients are always seeking the latest services, trends, and products. As the demand for hair extensions continues to rise and new methods become available, getting certified with a reputable brand can open doors to many opportunities. This can help you stand out in a competitive field and make it the next step in your career!


You’re Investing In Yourself & Your Education

It's crucial to continually expand your skill set in the beauty industry. New trends emerge regularly, so it's important to continuously educate yourself to understand the techniques needed to help your clients achieve their hair goals. Hair extension certification encompasses various application methods, theories, marketing tools, and more. Obtaining additional education from a reputable extension brand enhances your credibility, confidence, and the trust that clients have in your services.


You Can Offer a More Luxury Service

Certification not only brings the opportunity to grow your client base, but the ability to increase your earning potential with a high-value service. While the pricing for a hair extension service varies by market, the price-point is determined by the cost of the hair and the time required for installation. Additionally, offering this service provides consistent opportunities for a stylist as your clients will return for routine maintenance. 


You’ll Create Credibility and Trust

Hair extension certification demonstrates your growth as a stylist, as well as professionalism and expertise in your career. By showing your drive to expand your offerings, in turn you will build trust with clients, showing that you’ve met industry standards and are committed to providing a quality experience. Many clients will specifically seek out trusted, certified professionals when wanting to book a hair extension installation, so being certified can give you an advantage in attracting more business opportunities.


You Get To Build Relationships and Network With Other Stylists

Whether you are getting certified through an in-person or online certification program, you’ll have the opportunity to connect with other professionals in the industry, providing networking opportunities that can lead to collaborations or referrals. By making those connections, your support network throughout your hair extension journey will provide endless answers to any questions you may have, suggestions for an even better install, and overall confidence with the support you will receive!


When considering your next career move, think about investing in yourself and your career as a stylist by becoming certified in hair extensions.
