Style School 2024
By MyBigHairday
It’s Learning Season! This year classes are organized into 3 categories - Core Academics, Electives, and Work Study. Each class will explore Consultation, Products, Tools, and How to Apply what you learn.
Core Academics are designed for you to immediately apply what learn to real life. You won’t just be learning individual looks, you’ll be learning the theory and techniques to be able to create styles that clients are asking for now!
Electives are the short cut to current trend styles. If you want to take the guess work and strategy out, this class will give you the formula!
Work Study are step by step Style-a-long classes that get your hand into the hair right from the beginning so you can tackle tricky styles with continuous coaching.
All classes are HANDS ON at MyBigHairStudio in Attleboro, Ma with Mannequins, Stands, and Product provided for you (Studio is parking and commuter rail friendly)!
