PIVOT POINT COURSES

1. Hair Sculpture - Ladies

The program begins by introducing fundamental cutting techniques used to sculpt the four basic forms – the beginning of all hair designs. With a clear understanding of these forms, and how they work alone or in combination, a student is prepared to logically move forward, easily progressing to perm, color and design services.

2. Hair Sculpture - Men

Progressing from the four forms identified in Hair Sculpture – Ladies, students learn to combine and adapt forms specific to men’s hair design. The module begins by focusing on general cutting and design concepts for the male client, continues with technical lessons classified by hair length and closes with a lesson in beard and mustache design.

3. Color Design

After grasping the chemical properties of color, students learn fundamental application techniques. Attention then turns to how color combines with form and texture to complete a total design composition. By the end of this module, students fully realize the creative impact of seeing as an artist and thinking as a designer.
