7 Day Intensive Wig Making Course
Our 7-Day Intensive Course runs for a straight 7 days and particularly appeals to Overseas students and those living outside of London who want to learn as much as possible in as short a time as possible to save on accommodation costs etc. It is fast-paced and hard work but extremely rewarding with rapid progress in skills being mastered.
With only a maximum of 6 students per course, there is plenty of 1-1 time with course Tutor, Philip Carson-Sheard.
Day 1

Learn to Whip and Learn to Knot
Learn the key stitch of whipping which is used to bind the seams in foundation making and learn basic skills of knotting hair into foundation lace.
Day 2

Preparing your client’s hair, taking an accurate headwrap, with key measurements and photographs, then using this information to produce a headblock to your client’s exact head size and shape.
