These are Nano Rings, Micro Rings, Celebrity Weave and Tapes.

We pride ourselves on being the most flexible company to suit your needs. Therefore, you can choose any four methods we teach for your Hair Extension Training.

For our Complete 4 Method courses, we provide a full professional kit worth over £150 which you can use in training and take away with you. This allows you to get started in your new business straight away. The full kit contents can be viewed on  each course page.

For other courses, you can select if you would like your kit included. We also recommend Melia Hair Extensions for purchasing additional tools, equipment and hair.

Yes, all of our Hair Extension courses are suitable for everyone – from complete beginners to advanced hairdressers and extension technicians looking to refresh and update their skills.

Our Hair Loss Integration courses are only suitable if you’ve previously trained in a weave method (you can add this on whilst booking though!). Masterclasses and refresher courses are available for those who are already extension qualified but want to update and advance their skills.

You will receive an accredited certification in Hair Extensions which is an industry recognised qualification and is equivalent to a Level 3 course. Our courses are accredited by ABT and CPD, which are the leading providers in the Hair Extension industry.

We are proud to be one of the only Hair Extension training academies that provide ongoing support after your training. We believe it is so important that students receive support because we know that training in something new is a learning curve. You can contact us for support any time after your course, and you’ll also get exclusive access to our Graduates Support Hub community group.

Your training manuals can be downloaded and printed if required. Videos cannot be downloaded due to copyright restrictions. However, you will have lifetime access to your portal once qualified.

Should you encounter any technical difficulties (which is rare) please email [email protected] where our support team will be more than happy to help.

Once you complete your course you will have lifetime access to the course (as long as the course is available for sale).

You can access your training portal at www.maxwellmelia.co.uk/my-courses. Please make sure you are logged in to view your courses.

We provide full social media training as well as marketing and advertising tips and techniques to help you get started. This will help you build your client base from the moment you leave our training. You must be committed and consistent with your marketing to make your new career work – Rome wasn’t built in a day!

Our online support hub is also a great way to interact and gain tips from other graduates, trainers and professionals and we can provide free marketing for you by sharing your work on our social media also (please tag us). We also have our Members Club (additional membership) should you want further support with social media training and becoming fully booked.

Maxwell Melia Academy are committed to providing five star rated training with a guaranteed pass rate if assessment is completed within 3 months. You will receive feedback on your assessments and will be given the opportunity to make any improvements so that you can pass. We also offer free refresher courses up to 3 months after the training if you do not feel confident, as well as further training and support in the support groups.

This will vary depending on how much time you have to start initially. However, based on working 2 evenings per week for 3 hours per night as a complete beginner, we advise your earnings would be around £1200 profit per month. Many of our students go on to earn over £100,000 per year in extensions.
