Who it's for
Built for working stylists
Licensed stylists who want dependable precision cutting — the foundation every other shape is built on — and a bob they can deliver consistently.
How the day runs
Demonstration — the technique explained and shown step by step.
Hands-on — you cut or color yourself, with individual correction in real time.
Small group — so every stylist gets hands-on attention.

Which bob styles are covered?
One-length, graduated, A-line and textured bobs, plus how to adapt each one to head shape, face shape and fringe.
