The Art of Placement

This class is designed to help barbers understand how intentional placement creates stronger haircuts. Rather than simply following steps.
About this Event

We’ll break down why each decision is made—from the first section to the final detail.

Goal of the Class

By the end of this class, you’ll have a deeper understanding of how fade placement, silhouette, texture, styling, and creative design work together to create haircuts that are intentional, balanced, and memorable. You’ll leave with techniques you can immediately apply behind the chair while developing your own creative identity—not just recreating someone else’s work.
