Nikki Prokopiak Hair

Had the BEST time in Utah 🥹. I spent one day in class and the rest of the trip exploring with my mom and sisters.

There’s just something special about in-person education. We watched a full install by the educators, had open discussions throughout the day, and then paired up to complete full installs on each other. I got to install on a fellow stylist, and she installed on me, all while receiving real-time feedback from three IBE educators.

The support, collaboration, and connections with other stylists made the experience even better. I left feeling inspired, energized, and excited to bring everything I learned back to the salon.

Now it’s time to get home and squeeze my husband and kids. 🫶🏻

Our goals for this appointment:
• keep it soft + blended
• go lighter while maintaining the integrity of her hair
• add dimension + brightness

Safe to say we nailed it. What do you think?

One thing I’ll never stop doing is investing in education. In an industry that’s always evolving, staying current matters- especially when it comes to extensions.

Excited for a hands-on day of learning with IBE and can’t wait to bring fresh inspiration + refined techniques back behind the chair!

The power of just one row.

Volume. Fullness. Length. The kind of transformation that speaks for itself.

As an extension specialist, I hear the same myths over and over… and honestly? A lot of them keep people from getting the hair of their dreams and I understand why.

Extensions aren’t just for super long hair, they don’t have to damage your hair, and no—people shouldn’t be able to tell you have them.
