Why three days
The install is the start. Rebonding is what keeps her.
A keratin bond install isn't a one-off. Every 3 to 4 months your client needs maintenance, and quality hair can often be removed, re-tipped and worn again 2 to 3 times. When you can do the whole cycle yourself, she never needs to go anywhere else.
That's why I built the third day. It turns a beautiful install into a long-term client relationship.

Day by day
Your timetable
Day 1: Theory + mannequin mastery
9:30am to 5:30pm · 8 hours
Day 1 builds the foundation every great install sits on. We start with the science, then put it straight into your hands.
- Pure Italian keratin vs glue bonds, and how to spot the difference on a new client
- Invisible vs exposed bonds: why some installs show and how to make yours disappear
- How a bond opens and closes, and what that means for every client's aftercare
- 100% human hair: Remy, virgin and how to choose a supplier you can trust
- Consultation: the questions to ask, managing expectations and getting it in writing
- Colour matching with the 3-blend method, plus straight vs textured cuticle
- Sectioning: my signature pattern and the Deep V, plus placement that keeps clients comfortable
- Bond sizes from standard to baby, and density and gram matching
- The Press Roll Technique, practised on mannequins until your bonds are flat and consistent
Day 2: Live model transformation
9:30am to 5:30pm · 8 hours
This is the day it all comes together. You'll take a real client from consultation to a finished blend, guided by me at every step.
- Consultation and the signed consultation form
- Colour match and gram selection for her hair and her goal
- The Tap and Mould Technique for a sealed, invisible bond
- My signature cut: layering, face framing and glide cutting to blend extensions into natural hair
- Styling to the full effect, so your client sees the movement and volume before she leaves
- Aftercare and her maintenance plan
- Filming the transformation for your Reels and Stories
Bring your own model, or I can supply one. Models receive 50% off the service and purchase their hair from me.
Day 3: Remove + Rebond
9:30am to 5:30pm · 8 hours
The maintenance day. You'll learn my full removal and rebond process, so every strand goes back exactly where it came from.
- Strategic removal and hair mapping, row by row, so nothing gets mixed up
- The removal test: how pure keratin breaks down, and how to spot glue on a new client
- Transitioning clients from glue bonds to keratin, kindly and professionally
- Cleansing, treating and preparing hair for re-use
- Assessing which hair can be reused, and when it's time for new
- Re-tipping with pure keratin: getting the bond size right without it going blobby
- Bond sizing and shaping for a flat, invisible finish
- Reinstalling rebonded hair so it blends like a new set
- Maintenance timing: 2.5 to 4 months, matched to each client's hair
- Pricing your rebond services and building them into your menu
Beyond the chair
The business side
A beautiful install is only half the job. I'll also share the systems I use to protect my time and keep my books full.
- Protecting your business: my client care journey from booking to the one-month check-in, plus the deposit and cancellation system I use in my salon
- Knowing your numbers: how to price by the gram and build a keratin bond service menu
- Social media and demand: what to film, how to film it, and how to build a waitlist before you open your books
- Policies, procedures and contracts so every client knows what to expect
