Pixie Perfect

Haircutting and Architect
When: Sunday & Monday 11 a.m. - 12:15 p.m. in Room W310A
Today’s cosmetologist takes the same approach to haircutting as an architect takes to architecture; haircutting is a step by step systematic approach that cannot be executed with a “10 minute” mentality. Take the haircutting journey with Chuck Caple.
