Bob Mastery: Precision + Customization

Master one of the most in-demand—and most precise—haircuts behind the chair.

Hosted at Freya Beauty Salon, this hands-on cutting class is part of the Beauty & the Education series, designed for stylists who want to refine their skills with intention and confidence.

This workshop focuses entirely on the bob—from longer, softer lobs to sharp, structured shapes—giving you the tools to customize every cut to your client.

• The foundations of bob cutting (lob → classic → shorter styles)
• How to choose the right length and shape for your client
• Clean lines, precision, and strong structure
• Techniques to customize your bob for an edgy or sophisticated finish
• How to consult, educate, and set clients up for long-term maintenance

This is a guided, hands-on class where you’ll work step-by-step on your mannequin while receiving individual feedback.

Expect:
• Live demo + breakdown
• Guided cutting time
• Personalized coaching
• A small, supportive group environment

• Stylists building confidence in cutting
• Stylists who avoid bobs (we’re fixing that 👀)
• Experienced stylists wanting cleaner, more intentional results
• Anyone ready to refine their precision work
