"I recently completed a two-day intensive training with Krista at her Tampa, Florida location on Bay2Bay, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Krista is incredibly knowledgeable and precise in her teaching. She customized the training to fit my needs perfectly, ensuring I learned as much as possible.
As an experienced hairstylist who has worked with extensions before, I wasn’t starting from scratch—I was looking to elevate my craft to the next level. Krista met me exactly where I was in my journey and provided the advanced knowledge and techniques I was seeking.
The training included hands-on experience, theory, and provided models, making the entire process seamless and effective. Since completing the program, my extension clientele has grown significantly, and I’m more motivated than ever to take my extensions business in Atlanta, Georgia to new heights.
I highly recommend Krista’s shadowing program to any stylist looking to refine their skills and expand their extensions business."
