Live in Sydney, for one day only!
Hair Mastery is bringing its world-class education platform to Sydney for one day only, with an exclusive live Look & Learn masterclass led by internationally acclaimed session stylist and wig artist Jean-Baptiste Santens – marking a rare opportunity for local stylists to step inside one of the most technically and creatively influential practices working today and learn from one of the very best on the global stage.
The session places Santens’ signature approach under a live lens, offering a deep dive into avant-garde hairstyling, sculptural form and high-fashion creative development.
The masterclass is framed as an immersive study in process as much as outcome. Through live demonstrations and detailed breakdowns, Santens will reveal how he constructs bold hairstyles, integrates wigs and hairpieces, and builds complete artistic looks from initial concept through to execution whilst sharing every reference point, decision and technique in real time.
The class is explicitly designed for working hairstylists seeking to move beyond routine salon work and re-engage with the creative architecture of their craft, with a strong emphasis on experimentation, form-building and editorial thinking.
Step inside Santens’ artistic world, where hair is treated less as finish and more as medium.
Hair Mastery’s broader education philosophy informs the live Sydney session, with the platform acting as a response to what it sees as an increasingly commercialised learning landscape. Founded by Pablo Kuemin, Hair Mastery’s aim is to provide access-driven education led by industry leaders rather.
“Are you searching for something truly new that makes you stop and think: ‘wow, this is why I started doing hair’?” asks Pablo Kuemin.
“When I met JB, his artistry stopped me in my tracks,” Pablo continues. “His way of seeing hair, shaping it and feeling it was unlike anything I’d seen before.
“No joke, his creativity and insights surprised even me.”
The Sydney masterclass continues that positioning, reflecting a broader shift in global hair education towards artist-led, concept-heavy learning environments – where technical skill is treated as inseparable from creative authorship.
As demand intensifies for more advanced, fashion-aligned education formats, Santens’ arrival in Sydney signals a further convergence between salon practice and high-fashion hair direction – where stylists are increasingly expected to operate as both technicians and image-makers.
Hair Mastery’s Jean-Baptiste Santens Live Masterclass takes place in Sydney, Australia on 30 June 2026 and runs as a 1-day hands-on Look & Learn experience.
