The Long Layers Edit

4-Hour Practical Education Session

This is for anyone not yet confident with layering and long hair cutting.
This is a confidence-building, fundamental cutting class designed to help apprentices deliver consistent, salon-friendly results every time.

Layers are back and in a big way. We need to be ready to provide and advise various layer techniques on various hair types, because thats the reality of life behind the chair.

Cutting is scary. Especially when we are learning or just started taking clients. This session is designed to help troubleshoot any mistakes you're making, identify when you lose vision of where you're heading and how to talk to clients about haircuts.

Hosted in my hair home, Have A Nice Day Hair, in the heart of St Kilda.
