Hair extensions training in Marseille, at 442 rue Paradis. Consultation, colour-matching added hair, sectioning, density, tension, maintenance and removal: the day that separates an application you notice from one you do not. At a Great Lengths certified salon.
☏ 04 91 76 14 38 Dates & programmeOn the day itself almost everything holds. What gives an application away is the grow-out, the ponytail and the first maintenance visit — and that comes down to three decisions.
Fitting on fine, weakened hair or a reactive scalp is signing up for breakage. You learn to assess, to quantify a realistic volume and to say no — which is what protects your reputation.
A single shade picked from a chart always betrays the work. Real hair, especially balayaged, has to be composed: two or three levels blended, toned if needed, read in daylight.
Slipping, breakage, soreness, visible bonds: almost always a strand that is too thick, badly set tension, or placement that ignores the hairline. We take them one at a time, by hand.
Before the first strand: can this hair carry extensions, how many, and for how long. Half of all failed applications are decided here.
An extension is not picked from a chart, it is composed. Blending two or three shades so the join disappears, even over a balayage.
Sectioning, placement, density, tension: the gesture that makes an application invisible from the front, the back and in a ponytail.
An application sells twice: on the day, and every three months. This module turns a service into a natural subscription.
Le Faubourg has fitted Great Lengths for years and works keratin bonds daily. But a brand certification comes from the brand: there is no partner card and no certificate here. You leave with the craft, hands that know, and someone to write to when an application fights back.
Mannequin head in the morning, real model in the afternoon, four trainees maximum, practice hair provided by the salon. The full run of the day and the one-to-one format live on the page common to all three days.
Where trainees come from. Marseille 8th and the neighbouring districts — Périer, Prado, Castellane, Saint-Giniez, Le Rouet — but also Aubagne, Allauch, Cassis, La Ciotat, Aix-en-Provence, Vitrolles, Marignane, Martigues, Salon-de-Provence and as far as Toulon.

Keratin bond, strand by strand — the one the salon uses daily with Great Lengths. The reasoning (consultation, placement, density, tension, maintenance) holds whatever technique you use afterwards.
No, and that matters: a brand certification comes from the brand. Here you learn the craft from a certified salon that has been fitting extensions for years. No diploma, no partner card at the end — technique.
No. The day works as a first approach and as a way to unlearn bad habits. Say where you stand on the phone: more time on consultation for beginners, more on density and colour-matching for the rest.
That is the most common reason people come. Slipping, breakage and soreness almost always come from three things: a strand that is too thick, badly set tension, or placement that ignores the hairline. We take them one at a time, on a mannequin head then on a model.
Mannequin head in the morning to repeat the gesture, real model in the afternoon for the full service: consultation, colour-matching, application, blending cut and finish. Practice hair is provided by the salon.
The price is given in person: it depends on the format and the amount of hair used. Call +33 4 91 76 14 38 or message @lilafaubourg on Instagram.
