I still do this every day.

Over ten years in hair extensions,
and still behind the chair. What I teach
is what works on real clients this week,
not a manual from years ago.

One-to-one. Always.

No group of eight sharing one educator. It’s you and me, at your pace, with every question answered.

The blend, taught properly.

Colour matching, placement and cutting get real time. They’re what clients notice, and what most training rushes.

Why train with Dionne

The fitting is only half the job.

Over ten years I’ve built my own way of working, and it’s why my results look the same every time: like your own hair.

what you'll learn

My way, step by step.

BOND 
The technique

01       Read the hair 

Natural hair, scalp, density and how you actually wear it, slick-backsand up-dos included. And an honest answer

if something isn’t right for you.

02       Choose the method

Nano, tape, weave or a hybrid of two. Chosen for your hair, never one-size-fits-all.

03       Place it with purpose

Every row planned around visibility, comfort, movement and the way
you style your hair.

BLEND
The signatre

01       Match the colour

Multiple shades where needed, for dimensional colour that looks like it grew there.

02       Cut it in

Scissors and razor work to create movement and melt blunt

natural ends into the lengths

03       Prove it straight

Every blend is finished straight first. Curls should show off the work, never hide it.

From my students

Don't take
my word for it.

What students say after training with me.

New to hair?

I started at 34, with
no hair background.

So I know exactly how the first day feels. You don’t need years of experience to train with me. You need proper teaching, time to practise and someone to ask once you’ve gone home.
