Course Wig Making
Wig Making Course
The Wig Making Course is an intensive experience designed for those who want to master the art of handmade wigs, whether for personal use or to build a career in the beauty industry. Over 2–3 days, participants will learn essential techniques for measuring, sewing, installing, and customizing wigs, using both traditional hand-sewing methods and optional sewing machine techniques.
The course covers all stages of the process: from choosing and preparing materials, correctly installing a closure or frontal, to professional finishing and wig maintenance. Emphasis is placed on details that make a difference — such as evenly distributing hair wefts, bleaching knots for a natural scalp effect, and creating a realistic hairline.
The training is hands-on and personalized, with each participant working directly to create a complete wig. At the end, students will take a practical exam and receive a graduation certificate attesting to their acquired skills. The course is suitable both for beginners and professionals who wish to refine their technique.
