Great haircuts do not start with scissors. They start with understanding.
This full-day hands-on class brings together two educators with different specialties to help stylists strengthen both technical decision-making and haircut execution across different hair types.
Robert Hughes will guide stylists through his Decipher the Photo, Build the Cut system, teaching how to analyze inspiration photos and translate them into a clear cutting plan.
In the second half of the day, Wafaya Abdallah, Deva Certified Stylist and Master Educator for Curly Hair Artistry, will share her approach to cutting curly hair and designing shapes that work with natural texture.
Together, the class provides stylists with practical insight into both structured haircut design and curly hair cutting techniques.
What You'll Learn

Break down inspiration photos into actionable cutting decisions
Identify the underlying shape and structure of a haircut

Your Educators
Wafaya Abdallah
FounderWafaya’s philosophy centers on “Hairapy,” a transformative approach that views the curly cut as a gateway to self-acceptance and healing. Moving beyond rigid formulas, she teaches a mindset shift focused on dry, curl-by-curl sculpting that respects the hair’s natural movement as a unique work of art. Her classes empower stylists to stop "fixing" texture and start architecting shapes that allow clients to vibrate at their highest, most authentic frequency.
