Razor Advanced
Description
The success of the Razor Fundamentals seminar led many stylists to talk to me about learning more about razor-cutting. This became my inspiration for Razor Advanced. For those that already have experience of the razor, this two-day seminar focuses on ultra-modern, trendsetting, and sophisticated razor techniques that allow you to unlock true creative potential. All these techniques have been developed, and are now practiced, at ARROJO studio and include: texturizing, creating swinging bangs, panel cutting, forming geometric and rounded shapes, making a weightless line with swing and movement, shaping rounded bangs, undercutting through the back sections, and how to use a razor when cutting close to the root. Each technique is highlighted in demos before you execute them in supervised model and mannequin workshops. Razor Advanced is designed to give increased flexibility, creative freedom, and boosted confidence. It’s a terrific seminar to improve and advance your razor-cutting skill-set. - Nick Arrojo

The straightedge razor facilitates natural-looking swing and movement for modern hairstyles. Unlike scissors, the razor can remove length and weight at the same time. The razor is great for adding texture and taper and will add softness to your styles. It’s great for low-maintenance, wash and wear haircuts.
