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.
