You've Put Off Learning Long Enough
Maybe you have wanted to learn machine wig construction for a while now, but something keeps holding you back.
The sewing machine can feel intimidating. Bundles cost money, and no one wants to waste good hair on a wig that doesn't turn out. Tutorials are easy to watch, but they rarely leave you feeling ready to do it yourself.
Some students arrive still making wigs by hand and wanting to speed up. Others already run a beauty service and want to add machine-made wigs to what they offer. Many simply want real-time guidance and correction from someone who can see their work.
Others just want to make wigs for themselves or their families.
Hands-on instruction gives you the opportunity to see each technique demonstrated, practise it during class and receive help while you work.
