Advanced Ventilation

Our Foundational Ventilation course (or equivalent experience) is required as a prerequisite for students with little or no prior ventilating experience.

*** If you would like to contact us prior to enrolling, we are happy to assess your ventilating skill level with you to ensure you are in the proper course***

• Transferring facial measurements to a standardized beard block

• Crafting a lace beard foundation and precision-mapping of growth directions

• Creation and Application of beards in sections, enabling uninhibited facial movement

• Mastering wet setting techniques and chemical permanent waving for adding texture to existing beards

• Exploration of beard lace repair and customization methods

LAB FEE ($200.00 non-refundable)

LMA will be providing all lab material needed in the classroom (covered by the lab fee). We will send you a supply list for any items needed/recommended outside of the lab materials. Students receive a professional discount at Frends Beauty on the items that they might need.

PARKING

Parking is limited in the area. It is more of a suburban environment, on Laurel Canyon Blvd. in Valley Village.

We do recommend Uber/Lyft or being dropped off if you can arrange it. Frends Beauty is a block away from the Orange Line Laurel Canyon stop, so public transportation is also a wonderful option.

HOUSING

LMA does not have any housing services set up yet, but Valley Village is a safe area in a wonderful part of the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles. It’s next to Toluca Lake, Burbank and Studio City. If you have any questions regarding housing or the area, please let us know and we’ll be happy to advise.
