The hair extension companies that we researched were selected based on one or more of the following criteria:

1. Offer licensing and training of stylists
2. Have Internet presence
3. High sales volumes
4. Popularity in search engine queries and hair extension forums
5. Have distinct method for attaching hair extensions
6. Have been in extension industry for over 10 years.

There are many different companies that sell hair extension kits to salon professionals at trade shows.  Some of them do not require any sort of training, and only offer a video tape for instructions on how to attach and remove the hair extensions.

Not every stylist has the time or money to attend special training for hair extensions and this does not necessarily indicate that they will not do a good job. There are some very talented and experienced hair extension stylists that have never attended any sort of formal training for hair extensions.

Make sure you inquire about the stylist’s training and experience and how many hair extension clients they have had. The Chapter on the consultation will give you
even more areas to cover when first considering a hair extension stylist.
 

Also, you should be aware that there are many salons and/or stylists that have been trained and certified by one of the companies listed here. Yet some will slightly alter
or perfect the method and claim the method as their own.
