“I have just finished all the training courses and they were informative and useful on all levels. For starters, I highly appreciate the elaboration and touching on details in your lessons. For the first time, I've understood how I should properly deal with synthetic hair. I've come to know about its different types and how I should prepare the hair before use. Not to mention the new distinctive braiding method that I learned in these courses and will definately be adopting. Now I have better knowledge of different types of braids and ways of how to integrate strands as well. Having your courses, I feel I gained great confidence and that I am adequate enough to embark on my journey and work independently in this field. Thank you very much, Olga, I am waiting for more. P.s. I received the materials I ordered and they are of high quality. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹”

FAQ

  • I’ve never braided before. Is this course for me? Do I need to have my own braiding business already to enroll?

    Sure, it’s for all levels. Beginners have the advantage of not needing to unlearn old techniques or habits – they start by learning how to braid correctly and efficiently from the very beginning. Nope, you don’t need to have a salon. You can take the course if you’d like to add braiding to your hairstyling services or make it part of your business – or simply because you enjoy braiding and want to get better at it.

  • Can I access it on my phone?

    Yes, fully mobile-friendly.

  • Do the lessons have live support?

    Yes – you’ll get access to a private messaging group for feedback and support, and bi-weekly live coaching calls (which are recorded so you can catch up later). Both the group and live calls are always hosted by Olga herself – never by a manager or assistant.

  • How long do I have access to the course?

    You get full access for 90 days from the day you enroll. During that time, you can watch all lessons, join live calls, and get personal feedback from Olga.

  • Will I get a certificate when I finish?

    Yes — after you complete all lessons you’ll receive a Certificate of Completion.

  • Can I use this course to start charging clients or make more income?

    Absolutely. The course covers how to find clients, set your pricing, present your work on platforms like Instagram and TikTok - so it’s more than just technique.

  • If I have fine or thin hair clients (or men’s hair), will this course help me?

    Yes — we cover styles for fine/thin hair, men’s braids, undercuts, and more design-specialised work. Great if your audience (or you) works across different client types.

  • What’s the difference between the free preview and full course?

    The free preview gives you the Intro module (tool checklist, hair gel overview, how to get the most out of training, setting up your mannequin) so you can see the style and quality before purchasing.

  • Do you offer payment plan?

    Yes, you can pay in 3 parts. The payment plan is available at the bottom of this page. You can also pay the full price in EUR – there is a EUR payment button on this site.
