SESSION OVERVIEW
About
For 2019, this collection of haircuts has been inspired by the vintage look of 90’s grunge, fused with current barbering focused techniques.
Fusing heroes of the 90’s Nirvana grunge scene, with the androgynous structure of Grace Jones, we will engage you in this two hour hands on class. All three looks have ‘flat top’ inspired qualities that differ in angle with each version.
Mark and Gary will show you how to cut and style KURT’s high texture haircut which will expand your clipper skills within this strong sculpted shape. EDDIE will test your eye for shape and detail, with a nod to the classic flat top, whereas ADAM asks for you to work with disconnection and aggressive surface texture.
