Hair Extension Success Story-It’s always rewarding to look back and see how far past students have come after completing their training — and Sam’s journey is a brilliant example of what’s possible with dedication, skill, and a genuine passion for the craft.
Sam trained with us back before the Covid lockdown period, stepping into the world of hair extensions with curiosity and determination. At the time, like many new technicians, she was exploring her next steps and even considered taking a full-time job instead of pursuing the hair industry further. Thankfully, she chose to invest in herself — and the results speak for themselves.
Building Strong Foundations in Hair Extensions
During her training, Sam learned a wide range of professional extension methods, giving her the versatility and confidence to work with different hair types and client needs. These included:
- Micro Beads
- Tape Weave
- Shrinkie Tubes
- Keratin Pre Bonded
- In vis Weave
By mastering multiple techniques, Sam was able to build a strong, adaptable skill set that allowed her to offer bespoke results for every client rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. This flexibility has played a huge part in her long-term success.
Navigating Challenges and Growing Through Covid
Like many in the beauty industry, Sam’s early journey was impacted by Covid. The uncertainty and enforced break in work made it a challenging time for newly qualified technicians trying to establish themselves.
However, what stands out most about Sam is her resilience. Rather than giving up, she weathered the storm, stayed committed to her craft, and continued building her vision for the future. That determination laid the foundations for the thriving business she has today.
Now, around six years later, Sam has grown into a highly successful hair extension technician with a strong and loyal client base.
A Thriving Business Built on Trust and Results
Sam’s reputation has gone from strength to strength. She now has an impressive 18 reviews on her page, with a consistent 100% recommended status — a clear reflection of the quality of her work and the care she provides to every client.
Her business, Lavish Locks by Sam R, continues to flourish thanks to her professionalism, attention to detail, and ability to create beautiful, confidence-boosting transformations.
It’s been genuinely a pleasure to watch her grow from a newly trained student into a confident, established technician running her own successful brand.
Choosing a Career That Fits Her Life
One of the most rewarding parts of Sam’s journey is the lifestyle she has been able to create for herself. When we first met, she shared that she was considering a full-time job. However, by committing to hair extensions instead, she has been able to build something far more flexible and fulfilling.
Rather than working long hours for minimum wage, Sam now earns a stronger income while enjoying the freedom to manage her own time. This flexibility has given her the invaluable benefit of spending more quality time with her family — something a traditional full-time role often cannot offer.
The Importance of Support and Branding
Behind many successful businesses is a strong support system, and Sam is no exception. A special mention goes to her sister, Perfect Prints by Sarah Jane Rose.to, who played an important role in helping bring Sam’s brand to life.
She supported Sam with her business branding and provided printed branded clothing, helping to give her business a polished, professional appearance. This attention to detail has helped elevate Sam’s image and strengthen her presence within the industry.
A True Success Story
Sam’s journey is a fantastic reminder that with the right training, commitment, and support network, it is absolutely possible to turn a passion into a profitable and flexible career.
From training just before lockdown, to overcoming the challenges of Covid, to now running a thriving, well-reviewed business — Sam’s story is one of resilience, growth, and success.
We are incredibly proud of how far she has come and excited to see what the future continues to hold for her and her business.
