I came in not knowing how to do K-Tips at all. Three weeks after class I booked my first three clients and charged $450 each. That's $1,350 in one week off one new skill.
I already knew how to do sew-ins but I was charging way too little. The business breakdown in this class alone made me raise my prices by $200. My clients didn't flinch.
This wasn't just about technique. Mercedes teaches you how to run a real business. I walked out with a vendor list, a pricing strategy, and three new bookings the same week.
I hit my first $8K month two months after taking the class. I'd been stuck at $3K for over a year. The difference was knowledge, confidence, and the right community behind me.
Results vary. Individual outcomes depend on effort, market, and consistency of implementation.
