The Extension Certification That Doesn't End When Class Does.

Unlike any class you've taken before: personal, intentional, and one of a kind.

You'll finish ready to charge for your new skillset, with integrity, not just a fancy paper.

Max Henke
Strands Pro Regional Educator, all-texture extension specialist, small buisness coach and established Denver stylist, right here, in your corner.
Howdy, I’m Max
extension specialist, 3rd generation hairstylist, and Strands Pro Regional Educator based (and born) in Denver.
I spent years blindly doing stressful installs, navigating corrections, and spiraling into:

'I am freaking TF out, right now,'
'My shins are sweating,'
'Has the world ended?’
'Can she tell, I am losing my sh*t right now?'

As a curl specialist, I can teach and offer this extension method because it respects wavy & curly hair textures.
I love to talk about what most education skips: client experience, real boundaries, selling a high-ticket service, and pricing without shame.
I learned this method the hard way through asynchronous online education that did not fit my brain. Now I am lucky enough to be able to create my own in-person education to offer my local Denver community something different.
My why is simple: build an in-person certification, for stylists who need more than videos and virtual check-ins.
You’ll leave with a certificate, yes, and an actual skillset worth thousands of dollars, an educator whose here in your corner and a community of other salon pros that are here to stay.

What Sets This Apart
Why This Class Hits Different
1
Bespoke by design. Backed by the best. This method is established by Strands Pro, a female-owned, Colorado based company founded by a stylist who still works behind the chair.
2
Small class sizes. Big support. These cohorts are kept intentionally intimate so every student is truly seen. I meet you where you are, with compassion, flexibility, and a teaching style that adapts to how your brain learns.
3
It doesn't end when class does. After 2 days in-person, you'll walk away with an evergreen video library of all the key pieces, yours to reference, revisit, and refresh whenever you need it. This isn't one-and-done. It stays with you.
This isn't just another extension class. It was built for you.

4.5
Compassion and flexibility, always. I meet students where they are — not where I expect them to be. Different learning styles are welcome here, not just tolerated.
Sew What?
Weft extensions without the needle or the thread.
This method delivers the same quality result & longevity as tradtional sewn in wefts, with less damage
Earn like a doctor, lawyer, or CEO
Without student debt, or 80-hour weeks.
A single install can pay what some stylists make in an entire week.
Shorter Appointments
No more marathon 5-hour appointments that leave you exhausted & seeing sideways. What are you going to do with your 'extra' 2.5 hours?
Stop being fully booked and still broke
A full schedule of "affordable" hair isn't freedom. A handful of $1,000+ installs is. The math doesn't lie.
Build a business that works for your life
Choose your clients. Set your hours. This skillset gives you the leverage to earn freedom, not just income.
Who It's For
