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



The class will cover:
  • Hair Preparation at the Bowl - Understanding why every successful blowout begins with proper cleansing. Learn deep cleansing and detoxing techniques, effective shampooing and conditioning, and how steam or deep conditioning treatments support moisture retention and lasting results.
  • Product Philosophy & Pre-Blowdry Prep - How to select lightweight heat protectants, smoothing serums, and volumizing products, along with proper application techniques that protect the hair without oversaturation or buildup.
  • Sectioning & Tool Selection - Precise sectioning methods for control and efficiency, paired with a breakdown of blow dryers, heat settings, nozzle use, and brush selection to support smoothness, body, and shine.
  • Signature Blowdry Technique - Step-by-step execution using proven methods, including the 80 percent dry rule, correct direction and tension, and focused techniques for the fringe and crown.
  • Refinement, Finishing & Maintenance - Final styling and finishing techniques, use of the cool-shot setting to lock in results, and client education for maintaining the blowout beyond the appointment.



What You'll Learn:
  • How proper cleansing and preparation impact blowout longevity
  • Product selection and application for shine without buildup
  • Sectioning strategies for consistent, controlled results
  • How tools and techniques work together to create movement and body
  • Finishing and maintenance techniques that extend the life of the blowout
