Signature Blowout Mastery: The Art of Lustrous Finish
An in-depth, technique-focused class for hair professionals centered on creating smooth, long-lasting blowouts on textured hair while preserving strength, movement, and integrity.
The session is structured to move thoughtfully from foundation to finish, with an emphasis on preparation, product philosophy, and execution.
"I don’t just straighten hair; I specialize in creating smooth, mirror-like finishes that retain incredible bounce, strength, body, and movement.
As an educator, my goal is to provide an experience where you can enjoy versatile styling while maintaining the absolute health of their texture." ~, Owner & Master Stylist, Taylor & York Salon
