In the world of advanced hair artistry, mastering line technique is key to achieving precision, balance, and fluid movement in every cut. A solid foundation in line work empowers stylists to craft structured, customized looks that enhance natural features and maintain shape and style over time.

Layering is essential for creating movement, dimension, and balanced weight in a haircut—making it a foundational skill for every advanced stylist. By mastering layering techniques, you’ll be able to customize shapes for all hair types, textures, and densities, delivering seamless blends and effortless flow in every cut.

Graduation is the foundation for creating structured, tailored shapes that enhance the natural contours of the head while adding volume and strength to a cut. This essential technique enables stylists to build weight, control movement, and achieve seamless transitions for long-lasting, balanced shapes.
