GROW/edu
Solution Based. Science Backed. Stylist Led.
GROW was founded by Heather Dunbar in July 2020 with one mission: empower people with confidence through hair, both in the chair and behind it.
In less than four years, and with just four stylists, a single client book became a seven-figure salon company and has grown every year since. Sitting at the edge of luxury cosmetic solutions and medical-grade aesthetics, GROW is a high-profit, education-driven salon model that continues to reinvent what's possible for clients, stylists, and modern commission salons. Not by doing everything, but by doing one thing exceptionally well.
BELLAMI Flagship. Top 25 Global. Top AlmaTED™ provider in the US. A niche model. A small team. A new standard. Let's GROW.
What most methods don't: how to protect your client's natural hair, understand head shape placement for combo methods, and execute seamless blends. Heather is known for complete transformations, short-to-long installs, and building modern commission team culture.

Join The CollectiveBuild the confidence for the consultations you used to avoid.
You don't need another way to install beaded rows or tapes. You need solutions for the clients you have, and for the clients you've had to say no to.
What you'll learn
Headshape Placement
There's a map for where methods go, and the places they don't. Take the guesswork out of sectioning and know when to use each method.
Mesh Integration
When to use it, what type of hair to use with it, and 3 ways to apply it depending on your client's needs.
No-Mesh Beaded Toppers
Full coverage without adding uncomfortable bulk or weight on fragile hair.
Thin-Skin Toppers
An ultra-thin, flexible base that mimics natural scalp and bonds completely flat with medical grade adhesive. Learn how to apply and remove, apply hairline pieces, and customize for smaller areas.
Topper Bases + Styles
PU, lace, mono, silk and more. What each one is for and which client it fits.
Intro to Trichology
Understand common types and patterns of hair loss, when to say no, when to refer, and hair replacement solutions for each type.
