This course will be in the format of demonstrations and hands-on workshops delivered in Cavan Institute's hairdressing training salon. We will start from the beginning with the consultation as this is the key to understanding what the client wants and what will suit her.
The next step is to learn the essentials of how to put up hair, build a style with balance and structure, choose the perfect upstyle and start the foundation section right, through to finishing the fronts.
You will need to bring along a full tool kit that would use for upstyling, e.g., tail comb, up-styling brush, paddle brush, bobby pins, curling wand & iron, bobbins. Please bring along any hair jewellery or pieces you would like to incorporate into your updo.
