Training at the Vidal Sassoon Academy 2019 Day 5

Posted on by • 0 Comments

Oh NO!… It’s now the last day and my training has come to an end!

To inspire us with yet another approach to hair, instructor Sharz Din demonstrated free style dry cutting on this model.  His aim was to create a cut that “looked like” an “up do”.  He wanted to create a hair cut within a longer length that looked as though there were birds flying through.  I LOVED IT!!…

After many other presentations, it was diploma time.  A shot with all my wonderful, amazing instructors who have helped me grow technically, stylistically and allowed me to think and approach hair outside the box:
