WORK WITH ME

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 are not struggling because you lack talent.


You are stuck because no one ever taught you how to build a business that matches your skills.

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.

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, experience inconsistent bookings, or have unclear positioning, and want to attract premium clients without burnout.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
