The Session Standard: Editorial Craft Behind the Chair ft. Naeemah LaFond

Join us for an exclusive day of cutting and styling education with Naeemah LaFond, OLAPLEX Global Ambassador, as she brings her editorial and on-set expertise behind the chair.

Designed for today’s working stylist, this immersive experience will explore elevated, camera-ready cutting and styling techniques across multiple hair textures — with an emphasis on practical skills, thoughtful technique, and modern finishes that can be translated directly into salon life.

Cutting Techniques

Naeemah will demonstrate cutting techniques on both straight and curly models, sharing her approach to shape, movement, and creating a strong foundation for the finished look.

Styling Techniques

Working across straight, wavy, and curly textures, Naeemah will share the on-set techniques, styling tips, and finishing tricks behind her signature polished yet effortless work.

Learn how to take inspiration from the editorial world and make it approachable for everyday clients — creating elevated, camera-ready results that still feel relevant and achievable behind the chair.

Put the morning’s education into practice during an intimate hands-on session.

Working on mannequins, attendees will recreate cutting techniques demonstrated during the Look & Learn before transitioning into styling and finishing.

The session will include a focus on creating the perfect effortless wave, along with Naeemah’s techniques for achieving a polished, camera-ready finish and practical styling tips that can be immediately incorporated into your salon work.
