A first-principles course on scissor work. How to hold, how to section, how to read a head, and how to deliver a cut that feels inevitable — not accidental.
What you'll learn
- Hold and maintain scissors with full control across long sessions.
- Read a head: cowlicks, density, weight distribution, growth patterns.
- Section and elevate with intent — no improvisation.
- Deliver a consultation that lines up expectations before the first cut.
- Finish clean: point-cutting, blending, polishing a silhouette.
What you'll need
- A pair of 6″ barber scissors and a comb.
- A mannequin head or a willing model.
- A mirror you can step back from.
