Hairstyling / Updo Class - 1 day class for 8 hours
Class Cost = $300.00

In this class, we will teach the skills and techniques to build movement and fluidity in down styles. We will also teach how to achieve structure and stability to up styles, and make sure that you know the relevant styles that are applicable to today’s fashion/ event/editorial market. We will give key insight as to which products work best in executing these styles, all while teaching six solid styles to build from and bring back to your clients or editorial jobs.

Our goal with this class is to strengthen the caliber of work being done in your salons or photo shoots so that you gain the confidence of your clients. It is well known that most stylists spend little time learning how to manipulate hair, thus resulting in a failed outcome in those moments when they are called upon to service clients on their special event days. We want to make you successful in styling and encourage more artists to have these skills so that you have many more satisfied clients.
