What This Training Covers

This is an intensive, hands-on course where you learn to build a full lace wig entirely by hand, from taking accurate head measurements through to fitting the finished unit. You will work through the full construction process step by step, with guidance and correction throughout.

No experience needed to start, though some ventilating exposure helps. All you need is focus and a willingness to learn.

Why This Skill Is Worth Learning

01

The Highest-Value Skill in the Industry

Building a complete wig from raw materials is the single most valuable skill a wig professional can have. It puts you above anyone who only installs or restyles.

02

Premium Pricing

Full lace units built to order sell from R8,000 to R20,000 and up. Your price is set by your skill and your client relationships, not the market.

03

Total Creative Control

You control the cap size, the density, the hairline shape, and the colour. Every unit you build is genuinely custom, not adjusted from something off-the-shelf.

04

Clients Come Back

Once a client finds someone who can build them a truly custom unit, they stay. This is a repeat-business skill, not a once-off service.
