Beginners Wig Making
Virtual: $1850

Private: $2350
Our Beginners Wig-Making Workshop is all about mastering the essentials. You’ll learn how to re-front a standard shelf wig with a custom hairline—a foundational skill in traditional wig making.
Day One:
We start with wig knotting (hair ventilating), focusing on tying clean, tight knots. Later, we’ll move on to knotting patterns, where you’ll practice all the most commonly used techniques in traditional wig making. You’ll also receive a PDF knotting guide to reference when you’re back at home.
Day Two:
We’ll dive into the basics of foundation building, starting with darts and hemlines. You’ll learn how to place new lace on your hairline tracing and attach it to a shelf wig or premade foundation. This introduction to foundation work will give you the confidence to start crafting wigs that fit correctly and look seamless.
You’ll receive a wig-making kit with all of the necessary instruments for your training, ensuring you have everything you need to practice and learn effectively.
Re- fronting originated in film and television as a way to cut costs or quickly create custom looks. Today, it’s a go-to technique for anyone who wants to create wigs without the time commitment of building from scratch.
As a workshop participant, you’ll have access to our studio shelf wigs (stock wigs) at a discounted rate for refronting. These are the same wigs we use in our studio, giving you hands-on experience with professional-quality materials.
