Mens Classic Cutting 1-Day
Description
Contemporary men’s scissor cutting demands precision, discipline, and a refined eye for masculine shape. This hands-on workshop unites two industry leaders: Nick Arrojo, renowned educator and founder of ARROJO Education, and Steve Ferreira, master barber, precision cutter, and owner of Boston’s celebrated Steve’s 535. Together, they deliver a world-class cutting experience. Through three essential cuts — a long layer, heavy mop-top, and short undercut — you’ll refine fundamentals, strengthen technique, and learn to create balanced, wearable shapes. Designed for stylists looking to elevate their men’s work through disciplined technique and design, the workshop is limited to 8 guests.
After the hands-on session, stay for Mini Happy Mondays featuring live demos from Nick and Steve. Complimentary for attendees of the hands-on seminar, it’s an inspiring close to an exceptional day of learning.
