French Cutting Masterclass ft. Candy Shaw

Experience L’Art de la Coupe.
Learn from the best.
Elevate everything.

The French Cutting Masterclass is not just another class—
it is a career reset, a confidence builder, and a transformational investment in your future at the chair. If you’ve ever wanted to cut hair with precision, intention, freedom, and genuine French artistry, this is your moment.

Seats are limited. The impact is limitless.

French Cutting works.
It’s faster, softer, more ergonomic, more customizable, and more profitable than traditional cutting. And this masterclass is the only place in the world to learn the method directly from its source.

Candy Shaw—2025 NAHA Educator of the Year and global authority on French Cutting—has trained thousands of stylists using this very curriculum. Here, you’ll work with real guests, receive real mentorship, and experience the system exactly as it was built, refined, and perfected.

Stylists who want to:
• Raise prices with confidence
• Cut faster and with less fatigue
• Deliver softer, more wearable shapes
• Combine color and cutting seamlessly
• Strengthen precision and creative control

• One live haircut model
• One live blowout model
Guided mentorship and real-time feedback ensure you leave with clarity, confidence, and elevated skill.
