Message to Stylists

At Flyingshears , hair cutting is referred to as hair sculpting, because cutting the hair dry is considerred a sculptural technique. This booklet is meant as an introduction and workbook for learning and using Flyingshears. All materials are orginal to me, it is a synthesis of the most practical and useful ideas and technique that I've found for the past 15 years, and which I think you will find interesting and helpful. It contains many different technique. You will probably find that it works best not to try to absorb them all at once, but more gradually. Trying some of the basic exercises as you go along, and giving yourself the chance to absorb them deeply.

Good Luck!!
