Discover the Art of Wig Styling & Wig Selling

Welcome to Your Wig Journey!

Are you ready to expand your skill set and transform lives? Are you frustrated when your client shares she has cancer and asks you to help her with a wig, and you have to say “No, sorry, I don’t know anything about them”? 

Maybe you tried cutting one once and feel like you ruined it because you just didn’t know what you were doing. How many of your clients are experiencing progressive, chronic hair loss and you feel helpless to offer solutions?

If you’re an industry pro, your body may be feeling the signs of wear and tear (and the cumulative effect of salon chemicals) and you’re looking for a way to stay in the business you love that’s not as physically demanding. Our bodies don’t have to be collateral damage for our career choice.

Or, like my student Kim from Headliners Salon & Spa in Tolland, CT - you simply want to make a difference on a deeper level.  Check out this amazing video:

Whether you're looking to just enhance your skill set and support your hair loss clients with knowledge or go all in and dive into the world of wig retailing, these two courses offer the perfect path to success.

With over 23 years of experience as a wig salon owner/stylist and even more as a licensed hairstylist and as a woman living with chronic hair loss, I understand the profound impact wigs have on confidence and identity. Let me guide you through this rewarding journey of learning and empowerment from my unique perspective and experience.

Why Choose This Training?

Having worked personally with over 2,400 women experiencing hair loss, I bring not only technical proficiency but also empathetic insight into the benefits and challenges of wearing wigs.  My salon revenue of over $2,000,000 in wig and topper sales to date demonstrates a deep understanding of the industry and of client needs.

My salon has consistently been the #1 referred wig resource in my county for many years, and I’ve been featured in local and national magazines, television and newspapers.  Now, I'm excited to share my expertise with you through two unique virtual courses designed to elevate your skills and career, bringing you enhanced personal fulfillment while serving women with hair loss.

Unlike wig manufacturer courses, these two courses are not product specific and have no product sales agenda. I’ve attended many of those and they’re great but limited in what they offer due to time constraints and group dynamics.  They’re just not enough. My one-on-one training meets you where you’re at.  And because I work with many of the top US national brands, I know the strengths and weaknesses of each one.

Unleash Your Potential & Increase Your Job Satisfaction

Join a community of empowered stylists as you elevate your career and transform the lives of those facing hair loss. With expert guidance, comprehensive resources, and ongoing support through our private Facebook Group “Wig Coach Hub”, you’ll gain the confidence and tools you need to succeed. 

Many of my students have said that before the course, they’d lost the spark they used to have and though they still loved doing hair, it wasn’t as fulfilling anymore.  I can relate because years ago, I was starting to feel the same way.  Then, I lost my hair, learned all about wigs, started selling them and began experiencing an unexpected bonus: a deep level of personal fulfillment I’d never felt before.  I also got a much higher financial return on my time and energy investment.

The hug you get from a grateful, smiling cancer patient as she’s leaving with her new wig is hands-down more heart-filling than the hug you get for a nice haircut or highlight, and the 5+ pound box of thank you notes I’ve accumulated proves the feeling is mutual!

Take the First Step

Whether you're augmenting your hairstyling repertoire or shifting into a new career, these courses are designed with your growth and success in mind. Explore the opportunities, harness your passion, and start making a difference today.  The need is great.  We’re seeing more hair loss than ever before.  There are not enough stylists that are comfortable working with wigs and there are not enough wig salons, in large part due to lack of convenient, affordable training.  Now, that’s no longer an excuse!

Take this 5-minute fun, interactive quiz to see if you’ve got what it takes to transform lives in a deep and meaningful way. You’ll receive the full course descriptions and a handy at-a-glance comparison chart of both courses when I respond with your quiz score. Give me a day or two to respond, as I want to really study your answers and am working with salon clients and running my salon daily.

“The training is broken down in a way that is beneficial for all levels of wig experience.  I loved it.  You customized the classes for me so my experience was exceptional.

“This was a great experience. There’s nothing so personal as one to one training.  I absolutely loved the last two “meaty” sessions. I felt we were building a relationship and there was more give and take. Being familiar with wigs and a wig wearer myself, I highly recommend the content and style of delivery of this course.” - Jan, CO (wig lover/Ultimate Wig Stylist Bootcamp)

I have learned so much with your course and would recommend it over and over, you are so knowledgeable about all of it, and you are such an inspiration for me wanting to learn the business. You have gone above and beyond to help me and have continued to share knowledge even after our course ended. Thank you again. I have so much to look forward to with my business.”  - Terri, FL (salon owner and stylist/Ultimate Wig Stylist Bootcamp, April 2025)
