Loud Layers: A shag study

This look and learn class is a deep dive into building bold, shaggy layers with intention. We’ll focus on creating separation, air, and movement without thinning shears, using dry cutting, slide cutting, and internal pocketing to shape hair that feels loud, alive, and wearable.

This is not about following a formula or chasing trends.

It’s about learning how to see weight, trust your hands, and cut with purpose.

What we’ll cover

• Building loud shag layers with structure and movement
• Creating separation + air without thinning shears
• Dry cutting for shape, refinement, and control
• Slide cutting + internal pockets for texture and flow

• Chaotic styling — building volume, texture, and attitude while keeping the cut intact
