Frequently Asked Questions

 

Do I need any experience?

You can start with Basic without any experience. If you’re already comfortable with the fundamentals, choose Advanced to refine your technique. We tailor the lesson to your level and what you want to learn.

 

Who is the workshop for?

It’s for anyone who wants to cut hair for family or friends, improve their existing skills or develop practical techniques with a view to working in hairdressing.

 

What will I learn?

In Basic, you’ll learn to section the hair, use a comb and scissors correctly and build a haircut step by step. In Advanced, you can work on shorter cuts, layers, razor cutting or clipper work. At both levels, we pay attention to posture, hand position, control and finishing.

 

Will I get personal guidance?

Yes. We explain and demonstrate each technique, then guide you one-to-one as you practise. You get feedback as you work, so you know what to adjust and why.

 

Will I practise on a real model?

Yes. Working on a real model helps you see how the hair falls and how to adapt your technique to its length and texture.

 

Do I need to arrange my own model?

Yes. You arrange someone to practise on for each lesson, such as a friend or family member. Beforehand, we’ll discuss whether their hair and the haircut they want suit the techniques you’ll be practising.

 

What equipment do I need?

The starter kit includes hairdressing scissors, thinning scissors, a comb, sectioning clips, a cutting cape and a spray bottle. It costs €175 including VAT and is priced separately from the lesson. We bring any additional equipment you’ll need, so you can hold off on buying it.

 

How should I prepare my space at home?

Set up a well-lit space with a suitable chair and enough room to move around your model. We’ll discuss any other preparations with you beforehand.

 

How long is each lesson and what does it cost?

Each private lesson lasts 2.5 hours and costs €150 including VAT. This applies to both Basic and Advanced.

 

When and how do I pay?

You pay by card at the end of each lesson.

 

Will I receive a diploma or certificate?

No. The workshop focuses on practical techniques you can continue to practise after the lesson.

 

Will I be able to cut hair on my own afterwards?

You’ll learn techniques you can practise independently. How confidently you can tackle a haircut depends on your experience and the complexity of the cut. Regular practice helps you build accuracy and confidence.
