BEGINNER FOILING MISTAKE ❌

Working from the bottom section when placing your weave in foils is not the correct technique; it can affect your control and placement ⤵️

Instead, work from the top section, to maintain a clean and even colour - this will result in a more precise finish

Strong results always come from strong fundamentals 🙌

Knowledge is power 🎓

The more you understand your craft, the more confident you become - our educators demonstrate every technique step by step, then allow you to practise it independently in a supported environment 🙌

You’re guided throughout, while also encouraged to think for yourself & develop real independence as a hairdresser

This balance of demonstration, practice, & guidance helps you build confidence, refine your technique, and grow into a skilled professional ✂️

A common mistake beginners make is holding hairdressing scissors like household scissors ✂️
Professional scissors should be guided by your thumb & ring finger, allowing for better control, smoother movement, & improved cutting precision
Correct scissor grip helps reduce tension in the wrist and gives you more control whether you’re cutting one length, layers, or adding texture ✅
Small technique changes make a big difference
