The Extension Academy

Beauty training in hair, lash and brow extensions is the focus at this Toronto school, which operates from 2023 Richmond Street West and runs classes online for students elsewhere. Course subjects include hot fusion, microlink, tape-in and beaded weft hair extensions, eyelash extension masterclasses covering three types, and brow lamination with lash lift and tint. In-person groups are capped at eight students, and online learners have up to six months to work through roughly eight hours of material. Fees include a business starter kit, a completion certificate, a year of course access and mentorship support, and payment plans are offered through Afterpay. The academy states that certification is issued by The Extension Academy Inc. and that it is pre-screened under Ontario's Private Career College Act 2005. Class fees are non-refundable, though transfers are available with 15 days' notice, and the site does not publish class prices.
