Nano Hair Extensions (1:1)

Nano hair extensions are a type of hair extension method where small, discreet nano rings are used to attach individual strands of hair to the natural hair. The nano rings are tiny and virtually undetectable, resulting in a seamless and natural look. This method is gentle on the hair and allows for versatile styling options.

You'll master the art of applying nano hair extensions with precision and expertise. Learn the latest techniques for seamless integration, blending and maintenance. Whether you're a seasoned stylist or new to the field, this course offers comprehensive training to enhance your skills and elevate your hair extension services.

Course structure

You will be provided with pre-course reading which will cover basic anatomy and physiology, and health and safety. This will be recapped in your session.

This course is covered over two practical training days. During this time, you will learn the theory of the treatment as well as carrying out practical assessments on a dolls head and a live model. 

A practical assessment is carried out using a model allowing you the maximum time during the training to work upon acquiring and demonstrating the required technique. We recommend bringing your own model. If you can’t, let the Academy know at least 48 hours before your course. The Academy can support with finding you a model for a £10 admin fee.
