Get Inspired – 1 Day Taster Course

Get Inspired – 1 Day Taster Course

Regular price £150.00 Sale – including VAT (20%)

Join us for an immersive one-day course designed to transform the way you approach hairdressing. You’ll learn the fundamentals of our unique cutting system—an intuitive, logical, and precise method developed from years of salon experience. Our cutting techniques will empower you to make confident decisions, ensuring your clients leave truly delighted and creating experiences that keep them coming back time and time again.

"Get Inspired" allows you to actively learn and apply techniques on a mannequin by completing a number of guided hands-on workshops. On this course we do not focus on completing a single cut but explore four subjects on a single mannequin: the fundamentals of the bob, long layered looks, graduation and short layered looks.
