About this Event
Join us, for a day of CASUAL collaborative education!
A hybrid "look-and-learn" opportunity, combining hand painted balayage with long layered haircutting.
CASUAL EDU MISSION: Casual EDU's mission, is to deliver both haircoloring and haircutting techniques that feel repeatable, and adaptable for the everyday hairstylist. Uncomplicated in their approach, @the.blonde.boheme & @jeslochmanhair have teamed up to create a series of intentional, digestible, and accessible lessons.
Balayage Focus: @the.blonde.boheme will guide you through her signature blueprinted balayage technique: "No Brainer Balayage TM." A foolproof application method designed to take the guesswork out of sectioning and placementnfor a consistent, reliable result.

Haircut Focus: @jeslochmanhair will guide you through a clean, wearable, long layered haircut that attendees can implement immediately.
