Hi, I’m Lesley. I’m committed to reshaping the public perception of hairstylists by delivering accessible, high-level education that reflects the true skill, strategy, and expertise this industry requires.

Sew Extra™ was created from the belief that knowledge creates freedom. When stylists refine their technical mastery, strengthen their business foundations, and adopt an elevated mindset, they gain the confidence to move beyond limitations and build sustainable, six-figure careers on their own terms.

As a Master Hair Extensionist, salon owner, educator, and business coach with over two decades of experience, I founded Salon 1827 in Salem, New Hampshire, and developed Sew Extra™ Coaching & Education from firsthand experience. Every program is shaped by what I’ve learned building, refining, and growing a modern luxury hair business.

My mission is to elevate the hair industry through education that honors the depth, professionalism, and expertise of our craft and to empower stylists to step fully into their value.

You’re not under-skilled.
You’re under-positioned.

Sew Extra™ Coaching is for extension specialists whose talent has outgrown their business structure.

You’ve invested in education, perfected your craft, and built real skill, yet your income feels capped and your pricing uncertain. You’re booked, but with clients who drain your energy rather than respect your expertise.

Your brand doesn’t fully reflect the level at which you operate. Consultations feel heavier than they should. Pricing feels like negotiation rather than a standard. Growth feels reactive instead of intentional.

This is where we change that.

Through Sew Extra™, we refine how you position yourself, structure your offers, price your services, and guide clients through a luxury experience from first inquiry to long-term retention.

The Five Results that Can Change Your Business:
1. Clear authority in your market
2. Confident, premium pricing that supports your goals and lifestyle
3. Consultations that convert with ease
4. Clients who value quality and trust your expertise
5. A business that supports your personal life, income, energy, and long-term goals

This is not about doing more or working harder.
It’s about building a business that finally matches your skill level.

You don’t need to work more hours to make more money. And if that sentence triggers you, it’s usually because your business has been relying on effort instead of structure. For a long time, I believed growth meant longer days, tighter sc

Common Questions

  • Sew Extra™ Coaching is for licensed hairstylists who offer or want to specialize in hair extensions and are ready to build a more profitable, intentional business. Most of my clients are talented stylists who feel capped by pricing, inconsistent bookings, or unclear positioning, and want premium clients without burnout.

  • No. I work with both newer extension stylists and experienced extension specialists. Coaching is tailored based on where you are in your business. Some students are booking their first extension clients. Others are already booked but want to raise prices, refine their client experience, or scale with better systems.

  • No. Sew Extra™ is method-neutral. This coaching focuses on business strategy, positioning, consultations, pricing, and luxury client experience. I help you decide which methods make sense for your market, lifestyle, and long-term goals rather than pushing a single technique.

  • No. Sew Extra™ Coaching is not a certification. It is a business-focused coaching experience designed to help you turn your extension skills into consistent income. If you are looking only for technical certification, this may not be the right fit.

  • This is not generic salon coaching. Everything is built specifically for hair extension specialists. We focus on high-ticket services, fine hair clients, consultation strategy, pricing psychology, systems, and positioning yourself as a luxury specialist in any market size.

  • Yes. A major focus of Sew Extra™ is helping you refine how you present yourself, communicate your value, and structure your offers so you naturally attract clients who are willing to invest. This is about being intentional, not working harder or posting more.

  • Yes. Pricing strategy is a core part of coaching. We review your current prices, capacity, market, and goals, and restructure your services to be profitable, sustainable, and aligned with your luxury positioning.


  • Sew Extra™ offers both options depending on the container. Some experiences are small groups with personalized support, and others include private one-on-one coaching. All options are intentionally kept small to maintain quality and access.

  • Length depends on the program you choose. Some containers are short-term intensives, while others offer longer support. Each option is clearly outlined before enrollment, so you know exactly what you are committing to.

  • Results depend on your consistency and willingness to implement. Clients often see clearer positioning, stronger consultations, higher average ticket sizes, better boundaries, and greater confidence in their pricing. This is about building something sustainable, not quick fixes.

  • If you feel your skill level is higher than your income, your pricing feels unclear, or your business feels reactive rather than intentional, Sew Extra™ Coaching is likely a fit. If you are ready to be guided, coached, and challenged, you will get value here.

  • The first step is to apply, then schedule a discovery call. This ensures the coaching is the right fit for both of us and that you are placed in the container that best supports your goals.
