Questions
Good to know
Are keratin bonds the same as K-tips?
Yes. Keratin bonds, K-tips and fusion extensions are different names for the same method: small strands of hair attached with keratin. I teach you to handcraft your own bonds as well as work with pre-tipped hair.
Can I learn how to do K-tips online?
Yes. Keratin Bonds Mastery Online teaches my complete K-tip method on video, including a full live model demonstration, and I support you for 12 months while you practise.
Do I need extension experience?
No. The education covers my full method from the foundations, so it suits stylists new to keratin bonds as well as those wanting to refine their technique.
Can I learn online if I'm outside Australia?
Yes. Keratin Bonds Mastery Online can be accessed from anywhere, and my support is available to you wherever you are.
How does support work?
For 12 months, you can post questions, photos and videos in the private education community and I answer every one myself, Monday to Friday during business hours.
How does the workshop deposit work?
A $1,100 deposit secures your place. The remaining balance is due 30 days before your workshop. Deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable.
Can you train my whole salon team?
Yes. Private training can be built for a team, in Brisbane or at your salon. Book a discovery call and I'll give you a personalised quote.
Can I start online and train in person later?
Yes. Get in touch and we'll chat through the best option for you.
