IN-PERSON EDUCATION
Your journey starts with a step-by-step online pre-training to build a strong technical foundation of the YL Hidden Bead Method through guided modules and mentorship. You’ll be paired with a YL educator who will provide personalised feedback and guidance.
Then, in person, you'll bring it all together - working hands-on to master our method and signature Micro-Tied Wefts and elevate your results to a luxury standard.
This is where technique meets experience. Beyond the hands-on training, we dive into consultations, pricing, trouble-shooting and real world strategies that support long-term retention, reputation and growth. Expect personalised guidance, direct feedback and an education experience that goes far beyond a standard training day.
