Join us for an intimate hands-on cutting and styling class dedicated to curls of all textures. This class will focus on equipping you with the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively cut and style curly hair of all textures. You will also learn how to educate your clients on achieving consistent results that align with their individual lifestyles and hair goals after their salon visit.
We’ll study theory, references, and explore literary works with Rubi and books from the SALON hair library alongside hands-on practice with Chantell Carrtherol. Chantell will walk us through a demo where she will cover consultation, washing, conditioning, cutting, and styling techniques. Post demo, students will practice styling skills on their own models with hands-on guidance from Chantell and Rubi.
This class will focus on adding skills and tips to your cutting and styling toolbox and most importantly how to translate these to your clients in order to empower them to care for their own hair in ways that compliment their individual lives.
*Open to professional hairstylists and cosmetology students.
**Students must provide their own styling model with curls that are at least shoulder length.
