The class featured four live hair transformation demos on their models as they showcased their exceptional skills while offering insightful professional tips. Attendees were captivated by the power duo’s engaging approach, which blended their innate humor and creativity with practical application, cutting, and business-building advice. Throughout the masterclass, Lee and Capri addressed crucial topics such as enhancing stylist-to-client communication, maintaining individuality in hair styling, and maximizing time and efficiency during hair sessions. A standout moment was their pro tips on pre-blending extensions, a skill that promises to elevate any stylist’s hair extension application technique once mastered.

In an exclusive reveal, Great Lengths’ USA educator, Nanci Lee Randolph, took the stage to unveil the brand’s next generation of tape in hair extensions, called the Essenza and Aria, which are available in over 50 shades and lengths from 12 to 24 inches. The extensions are designed with a nearly invisible tape that lays flat, ensuring comfort and durability. Natural cut ends, a slightly taller adhesive to ensure maximum surface-area hold, and competitive pricing from other brands’ tape-ins make the Essenza and Aria a pioneering product in the hair industry.

As a B Corp certified company, Great Lengths prioritizes ethical sourcing, making these extensions not only luxurious but responsible. Ethical, luxurious, affordable, and innovative, Great Lengths has been Lee and Capri’s go-to brand for hair extensions for two decades and is clear that in addition to the duo’s talent, sparkling personalities, and true passion, the thoughtful intention behind their choice of products also plays a role in their renowned success.
