Bastian Casaretto teaches the Long Layer Variation in lesson 1
Aveda’s Bastian Casaretto has hairdressing in his blood, so he’s the perfect instructor to teach you the long layer variation in lesson 1. With skills encompassing finger angles, over-direction, elevation and flat layering, Bastian also demonstrates freehand techniques to create a loose outline throughout the perimeter in the back.
Beautiful, soft and feminine, your long-haired clients won’t be able to get enough of the texture, body and movement you’ll give them once you’ve perfected this cut.
The long graduation with low fringe is a youthful salon essential
Long Graduation with Low Fringe with Graham Oglesby
Ex-Vidal Sassoon educator and all round expert Graham Oglesby steps up to demonstrate the long graduation with low fringe in your second tutorial. Starting with a controlled square outline below the shoulders, learn how to incorporate graduated layering and build on the cut with graduation throughout the shape.
Manageable yet flowing, the long graduation with low fringe makes for a fresh, youthful look that your clients will love.
Add two possible outcomes to the long-layered shape
Lesson 3 with Stacey Broughton – The Commercial Long Layered Shape
The long-layered shape is a salon classic. And in lesson 3, master of precision cutting Stacey Broughton demonstrates two possible outcomes – a commercial finish and a creative option. The commercial finish is enduringly popular, but the strong, angled jawline of the creative option makes it perfect for those clients seeking a bolder look.
Either way, you’ll use internal graduated layering, graduation and over-direction to deliver body and movement to delight your clients.
