Foundations, No Fluff

For stylist Just Starting out, but not here to play it safe

About this Event

This two-day class is for current cosmetology students and grads within 6 months of finishing school. Day One is all about business: marketing yourself, guest experience that keeps people coming back, and how to build a booked schedule without burning out. Day Two takes it to the chair with a classic, most-requested cut and the techniques to make it feel modern, wearable, and yours.

Because success isn’t just in your hands—it’s in how you show up.
