Also known as The Extensionista! I'm a salon owner, wife, mom of four amazing children and mentor.
I started out working in the cosmetology industry, and quickly realized it was my passion. I attended cosmetology school at Delmar College in Calgary and became a licensed hairstylist.
I worked hard... I mean, really hard, but I realized there was a gap in the industry that needed to be filled.
Bonus: by filling that gap, my profits would increase significantly.
I have successfully scaled my salon business more than 10X since using extensions as my primary revenue stream in 2011 (...I'm talking multiple six figures annually!).
I am committed to breaking the mold within the hair industry by making training and education for Extensions more accessible to business owners!
I firmly believe that offering extension services is an accessible skill that can be learned with the right guidance... I'm ready to share with you everything I know so you can hack your learning curve and FIND SUCCESS WITHIN 6 WEEKS!
Investing in your stylists and hiring more staff
Establishing yourself as the premier salon in your area, continually bringing in new clients
Understanding the exact blueprint for scaling and explosive growth
Industry-leading mentorship to guide and support you through your business evolution
Access to a business-in-a-box that provides access to a proven system

"This is the most in-depth extension training I have ever taken (I have taken a lot over the years). I like that they have different models for the same technique. That allows you to see how you can customize your installation based on the client's hair density and length. I had been doing extensions for a few years prior to joining the EXTENSIONISTA ACADEMY but I was surprised at how much I learned in this program. My installations definitely look a lot more natural now. I contacted one of the suppliers provided in the course and I am now using better hair extensions on my clients. "

Yes, you can take this course if you are not a licensed hairdresser.
However, you will have to check with your local cosmetology board to make sure you can provide extension services on clients without being a licensed hairdresser.
Some provinces and some states don’t require you to be a licensed hairdresser in order to provide extension services. But there are other states/provinces that require you to be a licensed hairdresser before you can provide any services related to hairdressing to paying clients.
The reason why we also offer this course to people who are not licensed hairdressers is that we have had some family members who wanted to learn how to do extensions so they could do their family and friends' hair. Especially during the covid-19 lockdowns when salons were closed.
Not everyone taking this course is taking it to start a hair extension business. Some sisters or friends just want to learn so they can do each other’s extensions and save some time and money.
So, whether you are a licensed hairdresser or not, I highly recommend that you practice, practice, PRACTICE before you start doing anybody's extensions. Sounds good?
Yes! You can decide to get a certificate of completion in your name from the EXTENSIONISTA ACADEMY after you successfully complete this program.
You will just need to send us a video of you completing a full extension installation from beginning to end. We will review your installation and if everything looks good, we will issue you a certificate of completion in the method you choose to send us a video for.
You can send us your installations for multiple extension methods if you would like to be certified in multiple methods.
If we believe that your installation needs some improvements, we will be happy to give you some feedback on what you need to adjust to improve your installation.
Please make sure you send us your videos before the end of your access to the program.
So, yes, you get the option to obtain a certificate of completion and you can use that in your marketing to let potential clients know that you are in fact certified and they can trust you with their hair extensions.
When you join the EXTENSIONISTA ACADEMY, you will have access to the training videos for every single extension method offered in this program for ONE YEAR (extended access to 18 months if you pay in full). You can then decide whether you want to specialize in one extension method or you want to offer multiple extension methods in your salon.
Even if you decide to only offer one extension method to your clients, we believe it’s very important to still learn other extension methods so that you can compare and have enough information about each method in order to decide what works best for you and your clients.
And you can also better explain to your clients the reasons why you may prefer one particular method over another.
So, in the EXTENSIONISTA ACADEMY, you will learn multiple extension methods. And for each method, we will have multiple models with different hair lengths and different density. That way you can see how we tweak our installations based on each client’s hair.
Yes, all prices on our website are in US Dollars.
The minute you join the EXTENSIONISTA ACADEMY, you will get your login information and you will immediately have access to the full course online. For that reason we do not offer a refund after you sign up for the course.
So, no refund under any circumstances.
But don’t worry, you will love this course and you will not need a refund.
When you join the EXTENSIONISTA ACADEMY, you will have access to a list of trusted extension suppliers where you can purchase great quality extensions at a wholesale price. That way, you can create your very own brand of extensions and because you will get extensions directly from the wholesalers we use, you will be able to make a bigger profit on the extensions.
These are the same suppliers I personally use when I purchase extensions for my own clients.

"Nathalie is very helpful. She truly cares about her students and she wants everyone to be successful. I literally sent Nathalie some pictures of my first few clients and she told me exactly how I should install their extensions. My installations turned out so beautiful! I'm getting more comfortable now with extension clients. Thank you so much for everything!"
