Shannel Mariano - Visual Theory and Hands-On Cutting

We, at Mint Salon are working hard to bring more advanced education for Hairstylists to the Central Valley. We had great success with our recent color class with Caitlin Senna and look forward to many more classes to come.

We are pleased to announce Shannel Mariano is coming to Mint Salon to teach a Visual Theory and Hands-on Cutting Class. This class is open to anyone who would like to participate (max 20 tickets). In order to keep our selected date of February 18th 9am-3pm we need 15 participants by Nov. 25th. This is an excellent opportunity to bring top notch education to our area and we hope to easily fill the 15 seats.

Purchase tickets at www.shannelatmintsalon.eventbrite.com Password: mintsalon

Shannel breaks down haircutting theory with visual references and leaves you with an understanding of haircutting so you can take your new knowledge behind the chair and get creative to personalize a cut for your client.

Details are below:

We won’t just learn one cool hair cut or two. I want you to learn and be able to design and create ANY haircut that will best suit your client’s face shape, head shape, hair type, and lifestyle. ✂️ Here’s what the class will look like...

THEORY

The class will start out with a theory portion with lots and lots of visual aids to help you understand it more. I don’t want you to memorize theory, I want you to understand it. Why does elevating to 90 degrees remove weight? Why does elevating to 45 degrees build weight? We’ll use lots and lots of visuals to learn together.

DEMO

I'll be cutting side-by-side with you during the hands-on portion. I’ll be explaining not just the "HOWs" but also the "WHYs" behind each step. Here, you'll get to see how I apply theory in cutting my clients’ hair.

HANDS-ON

Apply theory yourself! :) After I finish and explain a portion of the haircut, you will do the same on your mannequin. Hearing and seeing Theory helps, but I believe that applying theory yourself will help you even more. I'll be going around to assist you, give your tips and answer questions.

Tools to bring:

- Uncut mannequin head with medium length hair

- Tripod (no clamps please)

- Scissors

- Cutting comb

- 4 Clips

- Water bottle

- Pen

Schedule:

9:00 am - 12:00 pm - Visual Theory

12:00 pm - 12:30 pm - Break

12:30 pm- 3:00 pm - Hands-on

Break:

To keep ticket prices low and more accessible to everyone, lunch will not be provided. During the break, you can leave, eat somewhere and come back. I personally like to stay and bring a packed lunch that doesn’t require refrigeration or heating. I you’d like to stay and hangout with me while I eat and set up for hands-on, I’d looove that! :)

Education is coming!

We have been neglecting our news feed because we have been so busy with bringing the salon to life! We are so close to being ready and welcoming everyone to our new space. 

Behind the scenes, however, I have been working hard to bring advanced education for stylists to Lodi. We have a number of classes scheduled in-house and in November we will be opening our doors to any licensed stylists looking to be inspired and continue their education in color.

Caitlin Senna will be sharing some advanced color techniques and theory with us Monday November 5th from 9:30am-1pm. Spaces are limited and tickets are only $25 so they will go quickly. The tickets can be purchased at the link below*.
