The team will cover the techniques used daily to create seamless, future proof colour-work, styling looks, extensions, cutting and creating perfect pictures for Instagram. Open level experience.

The class will also cover lightening for hyper sensitised hair, banding and brassiness, removal of mineral build up in blondes and many additional techniques.
