Master the principles and techniques of cutting hair and everything will flow naturally from there…
Clients
If you are a guest in my chair I will go through and discuss with you your individual needs and requirements. We will talk together about your face shape, bone structure, hair texture, density, growth patterns, key features you like or dislike and how we can highlight or take away from these areas or features.
I consider hair my artform and I want every person that sits in my chair to feel relaxed, have trust and enjoy their visit . I want your hair to be healthy and to be YOU. Aftercare is also my speciality so I will always let you know what products and tools to use and the steps to achieve salon results.
What I Offer
The courses that I offer range from the novice hairdresser wanting to learn the basics to the more advanced learner desiring inspiration and new direction. Any of these one-day courses can be combined but I recommend the modern classics course first to introduce the learner to the fundamentals.
All topics will be covered, including consultation tips, suitability, blow drying and the correct tools to use for the desired result, taking into account key points from image, lifestyle and personality through to bone structure and how these variables will give us the story of our look or shape. One of the most important factors in cutting hair is why you would choose a particular shape/technique, and I can teach you how to determine these factors.
Teaching is my passion and I believe in the knowledge we are all sharing. With hair, there is always something new to learn which is why we all love our jobs!
Looking forward to meeting you and your staff.
