PLAYGROUND

ALL ATTENDEES RECIEVE A SWAG BAG FILLEDWITH GOODIES, INCLUDING SOME OF TIFF'S FAVORITE NON-TOXIC STYLING PRODUCTS FROM CULT + KING AND HAIRSTORY!
Are you a stylist who wants to attract more creative work in your chair? Maybe you want to learn razor techniques to cut hair in a way that it practically styles itself? Perhaps you already love using the straight razor but would like to imagine what's possible beyond shags and French bobs?

Then this might be the class for you; expect that it will be a bit unconventional and anything but boring!

Welcome to my "PLAYGROUND": a space meant for exploration, experimentation , and getting out of our comfort zones!

The day will begin with a look-and-learn demo open to all levels of stylists. I will be showcasing my intuitive, sculptural process as I create and hand-style a haircut on a live model. Attendees will be able to get up close ,record, and ask any questions as I work.

A group of six students will finish the day with an intimate and interactive hands-on workshop. The hands-on portion is designed for stylists who already come with some straight razor experience, as we will be diving into some advanced tecniques while working on live models!

I'm Tiff McColl , an Oakland-based haircutter widely sought after for creating expressive shapes best worn in their natural texture.

Fortunate enough to have been mentored by some of the top artists in the industry, I received a strong foundation in intuitive straight razor cutting. I deeply connected with the tool and how it let me approach haircutting in a way that felt powerful and freeing...but I always felt like the odd on out in my environment-- a bit of a misfit in the "Shag Factory", if you will.😂 This tension is what pushed me to explore and my creative boundaries and quickly develop a strong point of view in my work. I am happy to say that almost a decade later, I have not lost my love of explorative play in my haircutting practice.

There is no fooling anyone that I am the most technically skilled haircutter out there. My success rather is largely due to the fact that there is an unmistakable quality in my work that sets it apart as uniquely my own. Because of this, have been able to call in a dream clientele who keeps me inspired in my work and hungry for more. Beyond showing you a glimpse into my process and teaching you a few straight razor tricks, I hope to also empower you with realistic tips to find your artistic voice behind the chair.

Info: Open to hairstylists and cosmetology students of all backgrounds and levels.

Info: This is an advanced razor workshop open to hairstylists with previous straight razor experience.
