HAIRSTYLING

This course is a compilation of about 40 different styles generally intended for brides and make-over. All styles are taught and interpreted to be carried out based on one's personal taste/way. This course will provide you with the reference materials to re-create hundreds of different styles (for all occasions) and not purely specific methods of styling.

Be assured that styles taught are always among the most modern and in good taste. With this in mind students can be prepared for styles that overflow with eccentricity and originality.

It is most important that students are trained to create works that release their creativity necessary in any good professional.

THREADING

It's an ancient method which Chinese and especially Indian women used to get rid of unwanted facial hair. The process is simplicity itself no equipment or hot wax. Just a long piece of thread and dextrous fingers.

Threading is less painful than waxing. It has more advantages there's no fear of being burnt by hot wax and you're not left with a red, smarting patch.

Old fashioned threading does a better job when it comes to removing facial hair.

Classroom demonstrations followed by hands-on practice sessions, working in pairs. All students have to go through an examination after completing the training. Inpidual project is also required to be completed and submitted prior to examination.
