Donna Bella Hair is announcing the launch of the Donna Bella Pro Extensionist Team, a collective of hair extension professionals to support stylists through education, innovation, and community.
The Pro Extensionist Team was created to help stylists refine their artistry, expand their service offerings and transform their business with confidence. Rooted in authentic behind-the-chair experience and real world results, the Pro Extensionist team represents the future of extension education. Backed by more than 20 years of time-tested quality and professional trust, Donna Bella continues its mission to provide stylists with pro-quality, 100% remy-human hair, education, and training designed to help them grow.
“After more than 20 years in the professional extension space, we know that education is what truly empowers stylists,” said Ryan Brown, Vice President of Marketing at Beauty Industry Group. “The Pro Extensionist Team honors our heritage while pushing the industry forward with modern, behind-the-chair expertise.”
Why The Pro Extensionist Team Matters:
● Stylists that offer hair extensions earn 2-3x more income per hour than those who don’t. As booking times grow longer and per-service revenue declines, extension services provide a proven path to higher profitability for salons.
● Through the Donna Bella Pro Extensionist team, professionals gain support online, offline, and behind the chair.
● Donna Bella’s hands-on manufacturing process and sourcing process ensures professional-quality hair while maintaining ethical standards, reinforcing the brand’s long-standing commitment to integrity and performance.
