What is hair design?

Hair design is about understanding hair design elements and principles, as well as knowing how to draw hair diagrams. It is more than deciding which one of your signature haircuts will best suit your client.

Hair-diagram drawing is the only tool that can help you learn and master hair design. If you can draw it, you can cut it. It is the sign language and shorthand of hair design, and can help you understand why and what you do, in addition to how you do it.

Hair design is also about improving the way you learn and teach haircuts and haircutting; for this reason, it can strengthen salons’ in-house training program and hairdressers’ skills.

Creating a custom designed haircut involves both the hair design process and haircutting procedures, which work together to create a cut to fit
each individual client, according to the client’s wants and needs.

Hair design can help you to evolve and improve the way you cut hair as well as discover new haircuts on a daily basis.

Once you start learning hair design, you can stop learning one haircut at a time, and begin creating any haircut you want. Mastering hair design means you no longer have to copy haircuts or cut them by following steps— this is what allows you to start being a hair designer.

Once you begin drawing hair diagrams, you will start sharpening your
creative and competitive edges by improving your creativity, consistency, accuracy and efficiency in haircutting.

If you want to master your craft, your financial future and be one of the great hairdressers in your town and beyond, learning hair design may be your answer.
