About this Event

French Cutting Masterclass w. 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.


Why This Class Matters

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.

The 2026 3-Day Format
Friday – Elevated Shadow Day at Jamison Shaw Hairdressers

Optional: attendees may book discounted hair services on Thursday or Friday! Call (404) 262-3777 to book and mention your participation in this class for exclusive discounts!


Saturday – Hands-On Immersion at SunQ (Sunlights Headquarters)

Saturday is a full day of learning at SunQ, home of Sunlights® education. You’ll refine sectioning, angle mapping, body mechanics, finger position, and French Cutting foundations. Work through a complete mannequin haircut, watch live model demos, and participate in our signature combing exercises that strengthen technique and confidence.


Sunday – Live Guests + Jam Session at Jamison Shaw Hairdressers

Return to the salon to put everything into practice. The morning begins with live demos from our top French cutters. In the afternoon, you’ll execute two real looks:
• One live haircut model
• One live blowout model
Guided mentorship and real-time feedback ensure you leave with clarity, confidence, and elevated skill.
