Yes! I created this class with working you in mind. I'm not just teaching you another install to copy, I'm teaching you how to understand why an install works, when it needs to change, and how to make those decisions for yourself. If you’ve ever had a client who didn’t quite fit the placement you learned, encountered an issue you weren’t sure how to troubleshoot, or wondered whether there was a better way to approach a particular head of hair, this is exactly what we’re covering in class.
Not at all.
Thinking like an educator means understanding something deeply enough that you can explain the why, recognize when something isn't working, and determine what needs to change. You shouldn't need to DM an educator every time you encounter something that wasn't covered in your original placement map. We want to help you develop the critical-thinking skills to assess the situation and confidently make the call yourself.
No. You don't need years behind the chair to start learning how to think critically about an installation.
In some ways, learning the “why” early is an advantage. Instead of spending years memorizing rules and eventually having to unlearn them, you can begin building strong decision-making skills from the start.
We'll teach the technique—but we'll also connect the dots so you understand what you're doing and why you're doing it.
This isn't designed around how many years you've been installing. It's designed around how deeply you understand the decisions behind your work.
Experienced stylists can execute a beautiful install and still have questions when something unusual walks through the door. We'll go beyond simply how to install and into assessment, customization, problem-solving and the reasoning behind your choices.
The goal is refinement—not starting you back at square one.
Right away, as soon as you register. We want you using it before you even walk through the door so you can come in with context and get even more out of the two days. If you're a current member you'll get an additional year added to your current subscription.
There is incredible education available online, including MTAM. But there are certain skills that become much easier to develop when someone can actually watch you work. You may understand a concept perfectly while watching a demonstration and then realize you have questions the second it's in your own hands. Hands-on education gives us the opportunity to see how you're assessing, positioning, installing and problem-solving in real time, and help you make adjustments while you're doing it. You're not just watching me think. You're practicing how to think through it yourself.
Absolutely. I keep my weft classes very small, so there are only 15 tickets available.
I keep it small because I want to see what you're doing, answer questions, correct things in real time, and help you understand why I'm recommending an adjustment.
The goal isn't simply to finish an install during class. It's to make sure you understand what you're doing well enough to take that knowledge back behind the chair.
