The Weave Institute

Welcome to the Weave Institute

A Place of Higher Learning for the Weave Industry

Founder Kim Connell, International Educator and Master Tailor, is passionate about infusing the science of tailoring with the art of weaving and wig-making. As a Master Tailor for over 30 years, Kim has been trained to be meticulous in every facet of her work, enabling her to enhance and perfect this art. She uses her expert skills acquired from creating high-fashion and translates them into creating weaves and wig fashion.

Her exclusive "Tailored Touch Weaving" techniques focus on ensuring that as much attention to detail is given to creating the foundation of the weave as the finished look. Unlike traditional techniques of the past, the "Tailored Touch Weaving" approach allows beauty artists to create realistic weaves that exceed customer's expectations. By incorporating high quality craftsmanship into even the simplest weave and wig designs, this approach propels the hair industry into the next dimension.
