See Theory - Garwood, NJ

Could you relate to any of these?

• You feel anxious when cutting hair

• You worry about being asked to do a haircut you are unfamiliar with

• You are tired of memorizing haircuts

• You want to move away from relying on texturizing and “winging-it”

• You want to start designing and creating customized haircuts for your clients

That was me too! I graduated not knowing how to cut hair.

I memorized haircuts from:

• hands-on classes
• demos
• hair shows
• videos etc.

Then, I memorized theory like:

• angles
• terms
• definitions
• rules etc.

Things improved significantly for me when I took the time and effort to actually “understand” theory.

In this class, you'll learn haircutting by actually "seeing" theory -and not just by taking my word for it! :)

Learn from:

• string and ribbon visuals
• photos and graphics
• interactive workbook
• 2D animations
• 3D animations
• demonstrations

It will be a total fun nerd-out session for us visual learners!! :)

I. Design: You’ll learn how to design the perfect haircut for a client based on their:

• face shape
• head shape
• hair type
• lifestyle etc.

II. Mechanics: Then you’ll learn and SEE different ways to execute your design.

• elevation
• overdirection
• finger angle
• section
• tension

My favorite part! It’s because I get to prove to you that YOU GOT THIS!

I’ll give a hypothetical consultation and the class will:

• design the haircut
• tell me how to do each step
• try it out on their mannequin heads

I’ll demo the haircut we come up with on a mannequin. I’ll share 2D and 3D animations so you can SEE the mechanics of haircut even clearer.

You’ll do the haircut on your mannequin. I'll go around giving tips, assisting, and answering questions. :)

People from all over the US and the world have taken this class and learned side-by-side:

• Cosmetology students
• newer stylists
• stylists with 35+ years of experience
• product company educators
• independent educators
• cosmetology teachers
• barbers, etc.

This is for anyone who wants to give deeper into creating instead of following, copying, and memorizing. It is for stylists who are self-motivated and willing to invest time and effort in independent study and practice after the class.

We all have different goals, current priorities and we are in different seasons in life. So there’s seriously nothing wrong if you can relate with any of the following:

• You just want someone to tell you how to do a haircut step-by-step
• You want to learn a specific haircut
• You’re not able to or not interested in making the time and effort to study and practice outside of a class

I do hope that I get the opportunity to meet you later on! :)
