Hi, I'm Nikki
I started with nothing. Literally nothing.
I grew up on a council estate in Middlesbrough. Left school with no qualifications. Had my daughter at 18. Worked on the market, had a cleaning business, tried everything.
I fell into hair extensions by accident, and my first fitting took me five hours. Five hours on one head. I was sweating, panicking, redoing everything. But I didn't quit.
Now I run a 9 room salon in Newcastle, train women all over the UK and internationally, and work 3 days a week.
I built this training because I wish someone had just sat me down and explained it all properly from the beginning. So that's what I'm doing for you.

Sent in by women who pressed play not knowing what to expect.
Honestly I had no clue where to start. I'd been on Google for weeks getting more confused. Listened to this on the school run and by the end of the week I'd actually made a plan. First time I've felt like I might actually be able to do this.
Newcastle
I was so worried about wasting money on the wrong course. Nikki just talks to you like a mate, no waffle. I felt like she was sat next to me in the car. Booked the £27 one the same week and I've not looked back.
Manchester
I'm 38, two kids, working part time. I kept thinking I was too late or it wasn't for someone like me. This made me realise it really is. I cried a little bit if I'm honest. In a good way.
Birmingham
You don't need to have it all figured out. You just need to take one step.
Start with the free training. Listen on the school run, in the car, on a walk. Take it in. And when you're ready, you'll know exactly what to do next.
