Wigs 101 with Chelsea Kerr

Now that you have the basic wig work under your belt lets expand your knowledge on styling and shaping! Rather than simply ‘shake and go’ out of the bag, let’s customize that wig to complete the perfect look for yourself and/or your client. There are many different methods to achieving the style you need, this workshop will explore Chelsea’s favorite methods.
