July 26–27, 2026 (Sunday & Monday)

Part 1: The K-Tip Blueprint ($2,500): This is the foundation of the HBE Method. It focuses on a comprehensive approach to a proper keratin bond application, prioritizing the integrity and health of the hair with K-tips. It is the holistic combination of technique, with a business backbone. You learn consulting, proper color/texture matching, density matching, sectioning, scaling the business, troubleshooting, forms, waivers, and contracts needed to move from a volume-based business to a high-ticket specialist model.

Part 2: The Art of K-Tips ($2,500): This is advanced technical mastery. It moves beyond the standard install into Tonal Alchemy. Learn how to strategically invest in single donor hair, manipulate texture and color, create strips, deep diving into keratin, blending hair in a hackle and, as always, “using the entire animal” when it comes to the hair you’re working with when your client is not yet sitting in the chair for true bespoke transformations.

The HBE Method Bundle ($4,500) is the most strategic choice for stylists committed to full mastery. By bundling, you save $500 instantly and receive the complete A-to-Z curriculum.

This is a $1,000 value included with the Blueprint or the Bundle. It contains the exact professional infrastructure Ester uses: Pre-consultation forms, Liability Waivers, Aftercare guides, and Price Increase templates so you can transition your business to premium rates immediately.

Most certifications teach you how to put hair on. We teach you how to engineer a transformation, how to approach a K-tip transformation on any client sitting in the chair while maintaining the health of their hair. The HBE Method focuses on Ethical ROI and critical thinking. We don't just teach a bead or a bond; we teach you how to work strategically, and selfishly. Reducing the client volume, reducing the physical tax on your body, all the while, increasing your revenue.

Yes. The HBE Method is rooted in the principle of low maintenance for the client, and a true luxury service which means that we embrace textures instead of fighting against them. Texture is a core pillar of our education, and we focus heavily on wavy, porous, and curly textures for those who are looking to match and manipulate with their transformation.

You have lifetime access to all digital downloads and core course videos. You can pause, rewind, and re-watch the modules as often as you need to calibrate your technique.

You aren't left to learn in isolation. You have the option to join the @HairbyEsterEdu Subscription, our private Instagram community. This includes live Q&A sessions with Ester and access to our private WhatsApp global community where you can troubleshoot real time client challenges with other high level stylists.

Yes. We respect that this is a significant investment in your career. There are flexible payment plans through Klarna so you can start learning now and pay as you grow your revenue.
