AFRO BEGINNERS IN-PERSON COURSE
If you feel a bit nervous when a big head of textured hair sits in your chair you’re not the only one.
It’s impossible to know how to handle a hair type you were not trained in!
AFRO HAIR WITH MATT SURPLICE & ERICA LIBRUD
Often the biggest worry is not even about the hair, it’s about using the wrong language and offending people.
Wouldn’t be awesome to feel totally relaxed the matter who walked through the door?
In our beginners Afro course we can take you through four elements that we think can kickstart your new fully rounded hairdressing career.
HERE ARE OUR 4 'C'
1 - Conversation - Let's begin to talk honestly and openly about why you may be afraid of textured hair in a judgment-free environment (you can’t get it wrong when you are learning!)
2 - Comfortable - We will look at the History of Black Afro hair, which will make you not just more comfortable with this hair type, but better at holding an educated conversation.
3 - Confidence - You will start to gain confidence in how to manage all hair types so that your body language, your verbal language and your skill set is something to be proud of.
4 - Competence - You will learn with new skills in things that were initially a little difficult and now appear completely manageable!
