About Me

From the age of 13 I worked all the hours I possibly could in my local salon as an assistant, I loved the salon lifestyle.

Then at 16 I went to college full time for 2 years and achieved my first 4 NVQ’s level 1 & 2 in Hairdressing and Wig Making.

I began my career in 1999 training in every aspect of Hairdressing, Hair extensions and Hair Loss. I worked with some of the most recognised brands within the UK offering hair services for ladies, gents and children, covering everything from a shampoo and set to celebrity hair extensions, to working at the BBC Studios.

Early within my career I started working with ladies with Hair Loss. I revisited my wig making skills and trained in a solution to custom make integrated systems and another door in my career opened. I now offer a bespoke service for hair loss for both male and female hair loss. It's a solution for hair loss due to chemotherapy, radiotherapy, alopecia, trichotillomania, lupus, cranial surgery and many more. I continued to achieved diplomas in different hair loss solutions meaning there is no limit on what you can achieve. I had developed this skill of being able to replicate the hair you once had or always wanted!

In 2012 Glam Extend was born and what a year it was! I welcomed back clients from when my career very first started and have gained some amazing clients along the way.

After all these years in this beautiful industry I wanted more... I revisit and refresh my skills in make-up, so in 2020 I retrained to gain a new qualification in Make Up Artistry.

Finally in 2023 I completed my teaching degree and became Samantha Cannons MGHD MGTL.

Glam Extend became an Accredited School with Beauty Guild offering Accredited Hair Extension Courses.
