D.F.S 2 Day Boston

This isn’t just another haircutting class.

This is TWO DAYS of immersive education designed to change the way you think about barbering.

Three educators. Three different perspectives. One proven system.

For the first time, Josh O.P, Tony Forrest and Steve Ferreira come together in Boston to deliver an intensive D.F.S Formula™ experience focused on helping barbers develop greater clarity, confidence, consistency and creativity behind the chair.

Whether you’re looking to sharpen your fundamentals, improve your understanding of shape and structure, or finally make sense of why certain haircuts work and others don’t, this course has been designed to give you practical tools you can immediately apply in the real world.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Over two intensive days, you’ll experience a combination of:

• Live demonstrations

• Theory and concept breakdowns

• Hands-on practical implementation

• Individual coaching and feedback

• Structured learning designed to build real understanding

A mannequin head will be provided for every attendee, allowing you to fully engage with the practical elements of the course without needing to source your own model.

This is not passive education.

You’ll watch it.

You’ll understand it.

Then you’ll do it.

WHY THIS COURSE IS DIFFERENT

Most education focuses on showing you what to do.

We focus on helping you understand why it works.

Because when you understand the principles, you’re no longer dependent on copying someone else’s haircut.

You can adapt.

You can solve problems.

You can create.

The goal isn’t to make you cut like us.

The goal is to help you become a better version of yourself.

WHO THIS COURSE IS FOR?

• Barbers wanting to strengthen their fundamentals

• Barbers who feel inconsistent in their work

• Barbers looking for more confidence behind the chair

LIMITED SPACES

To maintain a high level of interaction and individual feedback, spaces are strictly limited.

Once sold out, no additional places will be added.

FINAL WORD

The barbering industry is evolving faster than ever.

Tools change.

Trends change.

Technology changes.

Fundamental skill never goes out of style.

If you’re serious about raising your standard, investing in yourself, and developing a deeper understanding of the craft, this is a weekend you won’t want to miss.
