Hi, I'm Danielle, the creator of Natural Beaded Rows Hair Extensions®.

And I want to tell you a little bit about why I’m passionate about my Academy.

I was on a slow burnout train making very little money, on the brink of divorce, and nearly bankrupt.

The only skill I had was doing hair.

12 years ago, I launched the brand NBR® and had no idea the impact it would make.

I had to break old patterns, habits, and behaviors and treat myself like a businesswoman who uses the tool of doing hair to create success.

Over the last 12 years, I have figured out how to maximize profitability behind the chair by only doing hair extensions.

I could make the kind of money I was told was impossible by a hairstylist, and not only that, I only worked three days a week and could spend time with my family and create a new life for myself.

I then opened a salon, created ISLA® hand-tied hairline, and now have an Academy with hundreds of artists in it where we teach the same principles from which I created my success.

As I started educating with NBR®, I realized that artists needed more than just another certification.

Yes, NBR® is known for its beautiful blends.

But you must become more than just a good artist.

Marketing, processes, systems, sales, and most importantly, mindset.

This was why I created the Academy.

I gave artists a tool and then taught them how to be profitable and ultimately make great money, no matter what town or city they live in.

Another certification won’t save you.

There is nothing like this in the hair industry.

A business academy explicitly created for artists behind the chair.

We give you the technique of NBR® paired with our exclusive hairline ISLA®.

Business, marketing, sales, and systems and processes to implement inside your business.

Mindset coaching and accountability.

And tribe and a community of high-level artists committed to growth and expansion.

(Limited Applicants Are Accepted Yearly)

We've heard it over a thousand times...

hairstylists feeling trapped inside their own business.

Having all their time and energy suffocated by the demands of being fully booked.

Peeling themselves out of bed every morning and dreading the marathon of clients who only pay $50-$150 per appointment.

Maybe you can relate?

You went into cosmetology school with hopes and dreams.
You would spend the entire day creating your art, and setting your soul ablaze.

In time you knew, YOU WOULD BE THE BOSS!

You'd make your own hours and only work when YOU want to!
No one telling you what to do; you'd make your own rules!

And all of that joy, love, and passion you had would translate into stunning hair and a fat bank account.

Yet here you are.

You spend all day doing art, but it isn't fulfilling. It's no longer feeding your soul!

We've been there.

The good news is it doesn't have to be like that.

There's a new and better way to escape the overwhelm and
have the career of your dreams and the life you deserve

But first, let us introduce ourselves...

After all, when it comes to education, you have many options to choose from, and with all of the hand tied beaded sewn in invisible methods on the market how do you know which one is for you?

NBR®

After years of testing every extension method on her-own hair, in 2010, Danielle K. White created Natural Beaded Rows® hair extensions. How do you know what it's like if you don't wear it? Am I right?

Using only three materials (beads, string, and wefts of ISLA® hair) to install, NBR® Extensions are supported by an intricate foundation mastered through the training found inside DKW® Styling Academy.

Not only does the method feel natural to the wearer, but it also enables them to continue with all the activities they love, from surfing and saunas to things as simple as washing their hair like it's "their hair."

Think of it this way, NBR® Extensions don't stop you from living your life; they help you look and feel more fabulous while doing so!

Once Danielle saw the impact NBR® Extensions had on her clients, she knew that wasn't enough.

She realized the impact it could have on other stylists, and it became her mission to empower stylists across the globe in a movement of change for the hair industry.

BMS®

As Danielle began teaching other stylists the art of NBR® Extensions, she soon realized teaching the method was not enough.

Although artists gave their clients incredible hair transformations, they still lacked the critical foundations to run a successful business behind the chair - you know, the things no cosmetology school teaches you.

Because it wasn't enough to "just do pretty hair," Danielle enlisted the help of her husband Garrett and, in 2017, launched the first business training for stylists specializing in NBR® Extensions, known as Big Money Stylist® or BMS®.

Not only is BMS® specialized training for NBR® artists, but it delivers the specific business procedures, mindsets, strategic marketing tactics, and sales skills critical to operating a business that supports growth opportunities for your business and your life!

FUN FACT: Although we now refer to all of our business training as BMS®, Big Money Stylist® is still the name of our podcast!

ISLA®

Going hand-in-hand with the method of NBR® is the beauty and excellence of the ISLA® collection of hair and tools.

ISLA® was crafted to be the perfect fit for NBR® Extensions with various colors, lengths, textures, and tools intended to make life easier behind the chair.

Not only do artists love that almost every ISLA® color of ISLA® is pre-rooted, but the color longevity always fades on tone, meaning minimal work on the wefts is required at the first installation and the refresh appointments.

Since ISLA® was first created, we have kept it exclusive for our artists, ensuring they always have top-quality hair and tools available for the ultimate result!

Remember, the quality of hair you choose represents 50% of the system you use.

DKW® STYLING ACADEMY

Through Danielle's commitment to breaking the traditional "hairstylist" mold and transforming the way a stylist thinks and operates in both their business and personal life, DKW® Styling Academy was born.

Because of this, it is our mission to give every stylist the opportunity to turn their license into a life.

Not only do we invest in you at the highest standards of excellence, you'll learn and master the art and science of NBR® and BMS® and build unstoppable confidence in your craft.

But within The Academy is a tribe of hundreds of artists who have embarked on the same journey; they are making the money you want and have all the time, space, and freedom you desire.

The Academy doesn't just teach stylists how to be elite at NBR® Extension but guides you in transforming your life both in front of and behind the chair.

To Working Passionately Just a Few Hours A Day, 3 or 4 Days a Week,
WITHOUT Ever Having to Work Another Weekend!

While having a stable and predictable calendar and cash flow,
leaving you with only one question: How will you enjoy all that free time?!
Because we KNOW our targeting training will change your life,
we stand behind that with a tuition-back guarantee.

Are you ready to take your life and career to the next level

We know the Academy will work for you because we've seen it happen time and time again with stylists who started exactly where you currently are.

Which begs the question,

what else do we know to be true for most stylists?

Well, for starters, not only can you love your job and your clients (or at least most of them), but you can also want more, and you probably relate to one or more of these issues below regularly.
  • Your clients are late, bossy, and unappreciative.
    You don't even really WANT to do their hair, but you're too scared to let them go.

  • "Days off" are a joke.
    You don't get days off because being "on-call" is what this industry has taught you.

  • Not only do you have a boss, but you have dozens, even HUNDREDS.
    As your clients demand more and more from you, they become the many bosses of your life.

  • Your family is suffering.
    They never see you. You're always working or on your phone responding to clients.

  • You are suffering.
    Your anxiety and depression are becoming stronger and stronger every day.

  • You aren't making good money.
    Not enough to justify the time you put in or even a fraction of your stress.

THE REALITY IS –

Too many hair courses neglect to talk about modern business and how to make money doing your art.

Additionally, maybe you are one of the many Artists that didn't get ANY business education in beauty school, leaving you rating your business success based on how you feel that day instead of actual numbers.
The good news is,
the road has already been paved for you.

Isolation is never the answer to getting “unstuck” and leveling up.
Trying to “figure it out as you go” may work up to a certain point, but eventually... you'll hit a dead end in your business.

It becomes apparent that the person you were, with the skill sets and mindsets you had that led you to the place you’re at, can’t be the same skill sets and mindsets to get you out.
It's time to make a decision. It's time to step away from fear and that voice telling you that life will never change.

It's time to turn your license into a life!
