“I’m on a mission to break the stigma around toupees and help people feel as confident as possible in their skin. I want to share what I’ve learned so that more and more people can experience the joy that my clients get from their transformation, and the joy it brings me from behind the chair. Learn the skills to become the go-to toupee specialist in your area!”
Expert Training by The Toupee Queen
From Cosmetology school graduate to toupee queen✨
After cosmetology school, Em was introduced to the toupee world by her mom at Argyle Hair Solutions. She quickly noticed a lot of taboo around even the word “toupee,” and set out to make it known around the world just how life-changing a beautiful, natural-looking toupee can be.
One scroll of her TikTok and Instagram accounts will give you a peek into the artistry that’s earned nods of appreciation from the best in the business. Her clients love and trust her so much that some even fly her out for personal appointments—talk about hair goals!
Behind Em’s success is years of training and experimentation until she perfected her craft (including a serious investment in trying practically every product and technique under the sun!). The system she developed consistently creates transformative results, and now, she’s sharing these hard-earned secrets with her students.
In Em’s expert training course, you’ll unlock:
Her signature & exclusive techniques
Proven business systems for client attraction and retention
Everything from day-one basics to "wow, I can really do this!" advanced skills
The Toupee Queen’s techniques go beyond just perfecting the craft–they help her students confidently charge premium prices, attract the right clients, and grow their businesses. It all comes down to creating a sustainable and fulfilling career in the industry.
Toupee Specialization: a Growing Opportunity
Toupee artistry might just be the beauty industry’s best-kept secret! While millions of people navigate hair loss challenges that affect both their confidence and their daily lives, there’s a surprising lack of qualified specialists ready to help them.
When Em first discovered how life changing a next-level, natural-looking toupee could be for her clients, she realized it wasn’t just a market opportunity – it was a chance to make a real difference while building an incredible career. The numbers show the reality:
The men’s grooming market is a multi-billion dollar industry
85M+ people are experiencing significant hair loss right now
Only 1% of salons offer this service
It’s pretty clear—huge demand meets very little competition. And beyond the business, there is truly something special about this work. Each specialist trained means more people finding their confidence again. At the same time, more beauty professionals can break free from routine services and build fulfilling careers that they love coming to each day.
Em is passionate about sharing everything she’s learned because she wants to help others discover this rewarding specialization that changes lives on both sides of the chair.

In-person education
The online course is step one. You can stop there, or if you’re wanting to do some extra hands-on learning to solidify your new skillset, check out Em’s in person classes.
-
No, the online course is meant to stand on its own. It’s the best toupee education you can receive, with only one exception, which is the online course + in person classes. Many people feel ready to jump right in once completing the course. Some people who are more hands on learners really benefit from in-person education in addition to the course, or even just find comfort in knowing the option is there before jumping in. Think of it as an extra, but a really beneficial one that will get you further, faster!
-
These options are only meant to be utilized after completing the online course. We know that many cosmetologists are hands on learners and want to jump right to in-person learning, which TOTALLY makes sense. But we ask you to trust us on this one! The world of toupee artistry is new to almost everyone. There are so many nitty gritty details, and so much to learn. The course covers everything.
Your time with Em is meant to dive right in to practice, practice, practice with her guidance and support. All while using the many new tools, knowledge and skills you’ve already acquired. Em values your time and money and has learned that the benefit of in-person learning really comes from applying toupees on real humans, together!
-
Em absolutely loves teaching in person, and these classes are made for really getting that practice in and feeling extra confident and ready to take on the world of toupee artistry! These classes have helped students feel more prepared to step into their career, both in their toupee artistry and charging competitive pricing. (See: Em’s Pricing Suggestions) Everyone learns in different ways, whether you know right off the bat that you’ll want to do an in-person class or you finish the course and then decide it’s the right next step, these classes are here for you!

FAQs
Are you sure I'll be able to do this?
If you can do a basic haircut, you can learn toupee artistry. Em’s step-by-step system breaks down every technique into manageable steps and we provide support until you’re fully confident in your skills! Remember, every expert toupee specialist started exactly where you are now.
I've never worked with toupees before. Am I too inexperienced?
Not at all! This course is designed for complete beginners. You’ll start with the basics and build from there. Many of our most successful students had zero toupee experience when they started.
How long until I can start working with clients?
Most dedicated students begin working with clients within 30-60 days of starting their training. We teach you everything from basic techniques to client consultation, ensuring you're fully prepared before you work with your first client.
Do I need a license to offer toupee services?
While most of our students are licensed beauty professionals, you don't need a license if you're helping family members or working under proper supervision. However, check your local regulations for specific requirements.
How much money do I need to get started?
After you’ve completed the course, the initial investment in basic tools and supplies is under $500. In the course, you’ll learn how to structure your services so clients cover product costs upfront. Most students make back their total investment after their first few clients.
Do I need to leave my current salon job?
Not at all! Many of our students start offering toupee services part-time while maintaining their current position. Some continue working in salons, while others eventually transition to mobile services or to their own specialized studio.
How much should I start charging after I’m certified?
