Balmain Certified

In the beauty industry today, where it seems the possibilities are only as limited as your imagination, extensions are just another tool of the trade to enhance one's outer beauty.

For those who are in touch with the media, many celebrities over the years have worn wigs, toupees and hair extensions to accentuate a certain style, to wow their audience at an award ceremony and to eliminate the long wait for hair to grow out naturally thus having a feeling of instant gratification with longer, more luscious, full head of hair. When it comes to the possibilities offered to us by the beauty industry, we no longer have to accept the fact that our hair is too fine and flat to achieve the look we want, or perhaps your hair grows slower than others, whichever the dilemma extensions are quick and easy, so you can feel like Pamela Anderson running down the beach with wavy long locks of sexiness. No need for countless medicines and magic remedies, a full head of extensions can be put in sometimes under less than 40 minutes and you can leave the salon feeling like a new person. Where else than none other the Cinta Aveda Institute located in the heart of San Francisco, to host a Balmain workshop. Balmain, an established well-known Parisian brand that started out in the 1940's as a respected fashion house, has extended the brand, starting out with wigs and toupees as well as extensions as early as the 1960's, evolving into what it is today: a glamorous haute couture clothing line as well as a distributer for 100% human hair originating from India and China serving celebrities and the girl next door.


At the Balmain extension class held at Cinta Aveda, Julie Johnson, an entrepreneurial woman who has traveled all over the world, from visiting Paris, France to meet with official representatives from Balmain where classes and demos are held, to Holland where the headquarters are located and has obtained the title of master trainer for the United States. She begins the class by informing us on the history of the brand as well as here the hair originates from and how her own business grew. Julie and her team then start demos on the different hair extensions that Balmian offers and what their purpose are, as each client might need different systems to achieve the look they desire. Julie and her assistants check in with every one of us students as we learn about the brand and how to apply their line of extensions.

Not only a fun class to attend as it sheds light upon the world of extensions brought to you by Balmain, but it is empowering to know that we can always further our business if we are ambitious enough to succeed in the industry. The class ended with everyone excited to start talking about extensions and hopefully start practicing what we learned and building a loyal clientele of extension "lifers".
