Diverse Cuts

Diversity is a hot topic – is your hair game diverse? Shears, scissors, guards and freehand cuts use the same reference points, elevations and over directions. Somehow, when you throw a person’s skin color into the formula, people forget what they learned in school! Let’s talk about 360 waves, 0 into scissor length on top, high and tights, bald and seasoned taper fades! It’s easier than you think when you lean into what you already know – join Thomas for lessons you will only learn in this class!
