I had the opportunity to watch my friend Michelle Snyder—owner of Barrow Salon, teach a razor cutting class at Space 07 Salon in Sacramento.
The cut Michelle demoed for us was a sexy modern shag. I’m so happy that layers are back! Michelle's model had lovely long layerless hair, so it was fun to watch the changes happen.
Michelle uses a razor without a guard—a tool that takes some serious skill to use. I've been trained to cut with it, but I still choose to use a guarded razor until I get more practice. After the class, it was clear that I need to bring mine out more often to achieve this kind of beauty.
First, Michelle cut the layers, leaving the perimeter alone. She then went back to refine the layers, removing their weight. Then came Michelle’s famous fringe, which she's mastered and sported by Zooey Deschanel!
Mermaid Sea Salt Spray, R & Co Badlands and Aircraft, as well as Bumble & Bumble Surf Infusion Spray
For the final touch, Michelle used Mermaid Sea Salt Spray, R & Co Badlands and Aircraft, as well as Bumble & Bumble Surf Infusion Spray to style her model. All of these products shape and define your hair, helping you achieve great texture.
After the demo, everyone brought a model to do their own razor cut. Michelle worked the room and everyone walked away with priceless razor knowledge.
I had a great time watching and learning and can't wait to put my razor to use!
