Two Wig Training Courses For Hairstylists!
Start with the essentials. In one week, learn how to confidently work with wigs and toppers so you can support hair loss clients - and never feel helpless again.
You became a hairstylist to help people feel like their best selves, but when a client opens up about hair loss, do you ever feel unsure about how to help?
Maybe you’ve tried cutting a wig and it didn’t go well. That’s an expensive “oops”.
Maybe you had to awkwardly say, “Sorry, I don’t really know anything about wigs.”
Maybe you’re watching long-time clients lose their hair and wish you had real solutions to offer.
If you’re an industry pro, you 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 Kim from Headliners Salon & Spa in Tolland, CT - you simply want to make a difference on a deeper level. Check out this amazing video:
And that is exactly why I created Wig Essentials for the Hairstylist - a self-paced, beginner-friendly course that teaches you everything you didn’t learn in beauty school about wigs, toppers and how to truly show up for clients facing hair loss.
No product sales agenda. No pressure. Just the skills, support and confidence to get started.
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 has 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.

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)
Not sure where to begin? Most stylists start with the Wig Essentials - and many say it reignited their love for doing hair. There’s an upgrade option to the Bootcamp when you fall for wigs and want to share the love!
The need is great. The rewards are deeper than you think. And the time to begin is now.
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!
The Private Wig Coach Hub Facebook Group
There’s nothing like a great support group! Whether you take the Wig Essentials or the Bootcamp course, members of the Hub are here to support you when you’re done. There are some seasoned wig stylists/salon owners as well as course “graduates” in the Hub. Here’s a peek at some recent topics:
