Description
The Elevate Mesh Integration Training is a two-day, hands-on professional education program designed for licensed hairstylists who want to offer mesh and meshless hair integration solutions for clients experiencing hair loss. This program teaches safe, ethical application methods and focuses on long-term scalp and hair preservation.
This training includes both Meshless Integration and Mesh Integration. Students observe live model demonstrations, then work hands-on to complete each system themselves under educator supervision. A full professional kit is included, along with access to the Elevate Mesh online course for continued learning.
Class Overview
Meshless Integration
Designed for clients in the early stages of hair loss, roughly 20 to 30 percent, including androgenic alopecia and female pattern thinning. Students observe a live model installation and then complete their own meshless system hands-on on a model.
Mesh Integration
Designed for clients with moderate to advanced hair loss. Students watch a full live installation from start to finish, then begin building their own mesh foundation and installation.
Completion and Business Training
Students complete their mesh systems and learn cutting and blending techniques for seamless results. The day concludes with training on consultation, maintenance scheduling, realignment timing, and service pricing.

Questions About This Class
Do I need to be a licensed stylist to attend?
Yes. Elevate training is for licensed cosmetologists and stylists. Prior extension experience helps but is not required.
Are payment plans available?
Yes. Shop Pay Installments is offered at checkout on every class, so you can split the cost rather than paying in full up front.
What is your refund policy?
There are no refunds, transfers, credits or class date changes. Any remaining balance must be paid in full no later than four weeks before class.
Is travel or lodging included?
Travel and flights are not included. Lodging is not included unless the class says otherwise, and the London experience is the exception because your stay at Cannizaro House is part of the price. Airport, venue and hotel details for your date are in the Travel and Lodging section on this page.
What if the date I want is sold out?
Classes fill fast. Join the waitlist and you will hear about cancellations and newly announced dates before they are made public.
