COLOR BLOCKING TECHNIQUE CERTIFICATION

AIRTOUCH BLONDING TECHNIQUE CERTIFICATE

THE SIX-FIGURE HAIRCUT CERTIFICATE

Update April 22, 2020:

Here's a photo of the practice mannequin I did. The left panel is 'before' and the right is the finished product with the styling technique. Cutting a mannequin isn't really optimal, even though it's human hair, but I'm still glad I got to do it. In particular it was nice to practice the curling technique. I look forward to doing this cut on a real person and posting some photos when I do.

SHADOW FOILIAGE AND MONEY PIECE CERTIFICATION

TEXTURED A-LINE BOB CERTIFICATE

This was a great class. It had immediate 'real-world' impact and I was able to use the techniques I learned on a client almost immediately!

Here are the before and after photos of the first time I used these techniques and I learned a lot and have really gotten excited about the cutting technique that adds all that movement to the ends of the hair. Although it does take a little extra time, I really do think it's worth it.

Also of note, the before photo is also my haircut from about 3 months earlier with a similar shape. I had added texture the regular way with texturizing shears. You can really see how much more movement the cut has after taking this class. Totally worth the investment!

DIMENSONAL REDS AND BLONDES CERTIFICATE

This class was informative on both placement and color theory for delivering a big impact. I definitely think it helped me think about light reflection and placement of color in a new way.

Here is a vibrant red I did after this class and I am really happy with it. I would definitely call it a 'Dimensional Red!'

MODERN SHAG HAIRCUT CERTIFICATION

PRAVANA VIVIDS EVERLASTING E-CERTIFICATION

DIFFUSE GLOW TECHNIQUE

Well, we are all in the midst of the COVID19 crisis and since I have to close the salon until (as of right now) May 4th, I thought it would be a good idea to a) post all of my online class certifications to date and b) take more on-line classes.

Often times, I sabotage myself with overthinking and making things more complicated than I have to. In this case, I had these plans to do models and post photos w/ each certification but I realize now, I can do all that at a later date and not let it hold me back from getting the certifications up online.

This first one is for a quick technique certification for a foil technique using Joico lightner and Joico products. The foil placement was the reason I was interested in it and I've already used the key placement of bright pieces in the front and sides, working it into my usual repertoire to ad some pop   so it was definitely worth the time.
