What is creative haircutting?
As professionals in the hair industry, we often find ourselves facing a myriad of challenges. One of the most common is the expectation from clients that we are not only artists but magicians as well. They come to us with a dream look in mind, and it's our job to turn that dream into reality. But how do we manage these expectations effectively?
Creative haircutting is not just about skill or technique, it's about understanding a client's needs, their lifestyle, and their personal style. It's about taking all these factors into consideration and creating a haircut that is not only beautiful but also practical and manageable for the client. But the question remains, what exactly is creative haircutting? How can we define it?
In my upcoming class, i delve into this topic and explore the essence of creative haircutting during a live demonstration of a creative haircut. This experience will define what creative haircutting is and provide you with real world techniques and insights you can apply in your own practice.
I understand that dealing with client challenges can often feel daunting. It's easy to feel lost trying to balance your client’s preferences with the myriad of limitations they bring in. This is why part of the class is dedicated to teaching you how to overcome these challenges. I aim to shift your perspective and give you the confidence you need behind the chair. Through my demonstration of precision haircutting with a client, I'll provide you with practical strategies to handle and overcome client challenges.
I hope to see you there.
"Before I knew the fundamentals of precision haircutting, I had to guess my way through haircuts. Since receiving proper training and developing my own cutting system, I feel confident with any classic or creative haircut my client wants.
For the past couple of years, I've taught the barbers and stylists on my staff how to apply my methods and they've been able to grow confident in their abilities as well. This is a proven system that I'm excited to share publicly."
