Laura Chicken –
Canêt recommend enough! If your thinking of doing a course with them then just go for it. I learnt 5 methods in one day and had adequate time on each to feel competent enough to start now. It does not stop there either as I continue to be supported with any questions I have whether it be suppliers, social media or setting up, I donêt feel like Iêm out on my own. I am already looking towards my next course with Maxwell Melia and I canêt wait. Thankyou!

From start to finish I thoroughly enjoyed my training! The knowledge and experience Emily has really shows through in the advice and techniques she is able to pass down to her trainees, i myself learnt all 5 methods which I would highly recommend in order for you to offer clients a range of styles thatês suits all, the support you receive after training is also 5* no other hair extension course offers this service. If you are looking to book onto a course this 100% the best choice.

Leanne Nicholson –
If like me you looked at every course going then look no further. Emily and the girls were so friendly and helpful. Learning 5 methods was a lot to take in in one day but with quick responses to any questions since the course and the fantastic Graduates Facebook page there is a brilliant support network after the course too. I would highly recommend anybody whoês thinking of doing a hair extension to do this one.
Lucy Deegan –
I searched all over Facebook and the internet for an affordable course but also with the best reputation.
I came across Maxwell Melisa course hoping this would be the best course for me, And it was. __
Emily the main trainer is fantastic, she was also with two other girls who were as equally amazing at what they do.
I will definitely be recommending this course to people that want to get into the industry.
Thanks for all your continuous support __
Megan Blythe –
i loved training with these girls felt right at home with them soo easy going and soo helpful. Everything was step by step they made my training easy to follow if i had any questions from the day i paid for my course, on the day of my course and still now they have been the best at answering all of them and straight away. Excited to get started with my hair extensions and some more training in the future with the girls once i’m all set up. Congratulations ladies this has to be one of the best courses I’ve been on, and thank you soo much for having me xxx
Michele Selvey –
I completed my hair extension – 5 methods training today in Birmingham and it was worth every penny and much, much more.
Emily and Rachel were both amazing and so friendly. They were also very welcoming and made sure that we were all shown on a 121 basis, the steps to each method. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they made sure that we felt confident before we moved onto the next method.
I also like how as Maxwell Melia Academy graduates, we have access to a private Facebook group too which is very beneficial for ongoing help and support. How many training providers offer such ‘after training’ support… Not many.
I would highly recommend training with the Maxwell Melia Hair Extension Academy to anyone; from the beginner to the advanced.
Thank you so much Emily and Rachel. xxx
Hannah Howard –
I recently did my training course in Reading with the lovely Emily about 4 weeks ago and can not recommend enough! Emily made the 5 methods so simple for me and made sure I was confident with every stage before moving onto the next stage or method. There were 4 of us on the course which meant we got plenty of one on one time as well as being able to learn from each other. I have already completed my two models and started on new clients which means my career and earning is underway within a month of training. Highly recommended and thank you so much for all your help
Amieleigh Howarth –

James Taylorson –
Emily and Beth were amazing in Sheffield, made the drive worth while.

I have just completed my training with Gemma at Maxwell Melia what can I say …. I loved every minute. Gemmas knowledge was outstanding and she spent the time with each of us to ensure we were confident before moving to the next step. I have even made some new life long friends and work contacts. Maxwell Melias customer service is also outstanding and have been extremely helpful and supported since I registered my interest. Thank you team I will be back for more training and I am now looking forward to my new adventure xx

Very very good!!
Margaret Oliver (verified owner) –
Great course really helped with my confidence and improving my weave technique and blending techniques
Asher Lomax (verified owner) –
The trainer was very friendly, didn’t feel afraid to ask questions. She was very attentive and helpful. I think the branding and website is very professional. I think the most appealing thing for me is the grad hub for ongoing support which is invaluable!!! However I did find the dolls heads hard to work on because the hair was so plastic. Overall really good and have loved being a Maxwell Melia grad xx
Stephanie (verified owner) –
Had a lovely day with Beth. She was amazing and very thorough. She made you feel like anything was possible as I was starting from scratch with no experience. Feel ready to give the world amazing hair, that’s Maxwell Melia <3
