Angus Mitchell and Julian Perlingiero took their two-day Masters Hair Design Workshop in Beverly Hills and turned it into a huge success.
This academy offered advanced haircut design sessions with personalized training opportunities from two of the salon industry’s greatest educators Angus Mitchell and Julian Perlingiero. The Angus Mitchell Academy Masters Workshop sessions offered comprehensive hair cut techniques with lecture demonstrations and hands-on workshops.
The hands-on workshop session offered its attendees personalized coaching, instructions and mentoring from both Angus Mitchell and Julian Perlingiero, who personally taught the class, working very closely with each participant. This experience offered a rare once in a lifetime opportunity to be one-on-one with the great educators.
The two-day workshops began with a meet and greet session with Angus and Julian in the morning followed by a lecture to lay a common foundation for the hair cut demonstration and class to follow. After a brief lunch break each hair stylist received a model to learn the techniques both Mitchell and Perlingiero taught.
“I would describe the class as exceedingly hands on, motivational and inspiring. Each student received a hair model each day, for a total of two models for the two day event,” Angus said. “The class format focused on live models to enhance a real world learning experience and design suitability for the model and their individual features.”
The next exclusive two-day Masters Hair Design Workshop will be held at Angus Mitchell Academy, Beverly Hills on September 23 and 24, 2012.
