“I know you touched on how very few stylists mentioned wanting to teach methods but this is absolutely a concern to me. There is an overwhelming number of methods out there, I myself have paid several thousands of dollars in two major methods at this point. My frustration is that so many of these method techniques overlap but it feels like they all want to monopolize their education. It’s incredibly weird and honestly feels very culty sometimes. I work as an educational associate program director at our salon and I would like to support, incentivize and even attract new stylists to our salon who are eager to learn how to do extensions using multiple techniques that exist within MANY different methods. I’m even willing to lose my certification to do so if it means building and fostering an actual materialized community within our salon with a team who’s eager to learn a variety of different techniques. I’d like to clarify, I have no intention of claiming I teach a specific method. I see many mixed methodology educators online who I know for a fact have been educated in some of these methods (they don’t disclose which ones but it’s not hard to tell) but have adapted and expounded on them and offer subscriptions to their education. Seems like our local salon should be able to market extension education just like we would market any other in house education. Id really like to not get sued though. I know you can’t give legal advice, I guess I’d like some perspective and advice. I really don’t feel like my intentions or desires to support and build our salon utilizing multiple techniques is wrong. I can’t begin to tell you how trapped I feel and it frankly feels really gross to me. Help! I’d appreciate it!
Love love love your perspective and your podcast! Gives me life!”
