Become a Haircutter, Unit 4-6

Become a Haircutter, Unit 4-6

In this workshop you will learn all the theoretical basics to understand haircutting starting from the beginning. We explain to you the way we teach and how to use our training courses correctly. We will also introduce you to the 4 basic shapes that will help you recognize length arrangements and better understand workflows. To perform a haircut correctly you need a structured workflow: division, head position, section, combing direction, combing angle, finger position and cutting line. You will learn everything important on these charts.

For optimal learning success, you will need a tripod as well as two training heads (Unit 1-12, then more training heads). Before you start cutting, watch each haircut once completely and pay attention to all details. Only then should you begin with the finishing work. Then work step-by-step! The easiest way is to get a holder for your smartphone so that you can attach it to the head stand.

Unit 4: Graduated shape - short bob - training head 1

If you are satisfied with your diagonal graduation from Unit 3, we can now work on a short bob together. The working method is almost identical, except that the contour cut is made at the end and not at the beginning. In addition, we are now working with a side parting for the first time. Important: There is a blow-dry parting and a cutting parting! For cutting, always part from the middle of the eyebrow to the highest point of the head. When blow-drying, you can then comb a slightly different side parting.

Unit 5: Graduated shape - Firefly - training head 1

A real classic! For over 60 years this shape has been needed again and again in salon work. We now work with a diagonal line to the back, the working principle is identical to Unit 3: contour section as a compact shape, then a graduation with diagonal sections and 45° combing angle, plus starting from a side parting as in Unit 4.

Unit 6: Graduated Shape - Bowl Cut - training head 1

Another classic from which you can derive many creative variations! First make a section along the hat line, then work out a horizontal cut line each time from front to back. Use a 45° combing angle and slightly cover the hair in the tamp area upwards - this creates a small rising step, which brings a soft contouring. In the nape area, work with vertical sections so that this area feels narrow.
