Let’s be honest:
There’s a comfort in formulas. A bead count. A diagram. An “always do it this way” type of rule.

So when stylists show up to a Cease & Desist class, it’s no surprise they ask for specifics:

“How far from the part?”
“How many beads in a row?”
“Where exactly should I start?”

And I get it — we’ve all been trained to think there’s one “right” way to do extensions.

But more often than not, what do I say in class?

“It depends.” 🤷🏻♀️

Why “It Depends” Is Actually Empowering

That phrase isn’t a cop-out. It’s a tool.

Because real artistry doesn’t come from memorizing one method. It comes from understanding why you make the choices you do.

And here’s the truth:

• That perfect placement? It depends on the client’s density.

• That stitch pattern? Depends on the topper, the texture, the hairline.

• That bead row? Depends on lifestyle, scalp shape, growth patterns, and more.

Trying to force every client into one box is how stylists end up stuck, burned out, or worse — doing work that doesn’t actually serve the person in their chair.

A New Kind of Education Is Coming

That’s why I’m teaming up with Bri from The Methodology this September.

This class is designed for stylists who want to understand, not just copy.
We’ll show you multiple ways to approach installs — not to overwhelm, but to equip.

→ Beadwork options
→ Topper integration
→ Flexible placement logic
→ Real talk about adapting your method in real-time

This isn’t about memorizing a script.
It’s about building the confidence to trust your eye, your hands, and your judgment.
