I recommend doing any masters class or coaching course she has. Lexie is so professional and very helpful .The course is totally worth the investment. She incuded professional headshots for my brand and i've never seen anyone do this. She makes this learning process easier and most of all quick. If I could give her 10 stars I would.

I took the virtual braiders licensure course. The class was very informative, especially the lessons on hygiene and disinfecting your tools. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone looking to expand or start their hair business.
