Hair Sculpture
Hair Sculpture – Precision Cutting & Design
Hone the craft that defines every stylist: an ability to sculpt shape, texture, and movement with absolute control. In 45 intensive hours, this module gives you a rock-solid cutting framework—from foundational geometry to on-trend design finishes—so every haircut leaves the chair photo-ready.

-
Apply geometric principles (line, graduation, layering) to any length or texture
-
Select and maintain professional tools—shears, razors, and clippers—for exact results
-
Map face shape and growth patterns to customize fringe, weight distribution, and balance
-
Execute classic and modern techniques: blunt bobs, long layers, texturized shags, fades
-
Refine details—cross-checking, dry cutting, and interior slicing—for a flawless finish
-
Use finishing and styling to reveal structure and teach clients simple upkeep
The module culminates in a live model assessment and technical blueprint submission that proves you can design, document, and replicate any cut with confidence.
