What You Get From Each Lesson
Lesson 1 – Men’s Basic Uniform Layer
Delight your male clients with your basic layering skills and a tailored fringe. Dale Ted Watkins demonstrates blunt and point cutting, layering and shading – showing you how to master the basic uniform layer. This timeless classic of men’s cuts exudes Ivy League style and is easily adaptable to suit individual client needs.
Lesson 2 – Short Back & Sides
Learn how to create the traditional short back & sides – aka the crew cut – in lesson 2. With Dale Ted Watkins as your instructor again, you’ll learn how to use your clippers-over-comb technique to create a square refined shape – with special emphasis on connection of the top lengths and placement of corners. You’ll also get to grips with the scissors-over-comb technique to tailor the fringe area.
Lesson 3 – Scissors-Over-Comb Crop
This course is all about building your skills – and in lesson 3, you’ll use techniques you’ve mastered in the previous 2 tutorials. Dale demonstrates how to use your scissors-over-comb technique throughout the top, tailoring it to your client using razoring and freehand cutting. The key to your success? Working against the grain of the hair growth for an even shape to create an edgy look for younger clients.
Lesson 4 – Short Flat Graduation
Stacey Broughton takes charge for lesson 4 to demonstrate the short flat graduated shape. Leveraging techniques including scissors-over-comb and clippers-over-comb, you’ll combine graduation, layering and disconnection to create a neat backdrop. This is a versatile style, which can be worn up in a flat quiff or smoothed down for a more formal finish.
Lesson 5 – Clipper Guard Crop
Dale is back for lesson 5, where he shows you how to create the beautifully blended and meticulously crafted clipper guard crop. An essential for barbers, you’ll learn how to combine clipper cutting, clippers-over-comb, tension and graduation to achieve a tailored look. Your clients will love this clean, sculpted style.
