Keep Building Your Skillset

Already Trained? Upgrade Your Qualification

Already completed C1? You don’t need to start again – C3 combines C1’s four methods with C2’s three methods into one qualification, so you can top up rather than repeat what you already know. From there, C4 adds Nano Rings, and C5 adds Tape Weft and Hidden Weave for the complete 10-method service menu.

If you’ve done C2, the quickest upgrade is the optional Nano Rings add-on, giving you a discreet, high-end attachment method to offer clients without a full extra course day.

Understanding The Methods

What You’ll Learn: Hair Extension Methods Explained

Every Belle course is built around real, in-demand techniques – not a generic overview. Here’s what each method actually involves.

Fusion Bonds

Individual strands bonded to natural hair using heat-activated keratin glue – a seamless, durable method for length and volume.

Micro Rings

Small metal rings clamp extensions to natural hair with no adhesive or heat – a chemical-free, comfortable attachment.

Nano Rings

Ultra-small rings for a virtually undetectable, premium finish – popular for clients wanting the most discreet result.

Tape-Ins

Pre-taped wefts applied to sections of natural hair – fast, versatile, and ideal for busy clients wanting instant results.

Celebrity Weave

Wefts sewn into natural hair for voluminous, red-carpet-style results with a seamless blend.

Micro Ring Weft

Combines weft extensions with the security of micro rings – a flawless blend with flexible, secure hold.
