Pivot Point provides the educational structure to develop true hair designers through A Designer’s Approach™. Designers see, think, create and adapt all facets of their work. Then and only then do they begin to create the finished hair design.

We believe in the importance of developing a designer to know why, as well as how, something works. Knowing how only results in technical skills; knowing why allows the freedom to create. A Designer’s Approach not only educates the students on all prudent licensure-based content, but goes beyond to deliver salon-relevant training, promoting mindful student learning and future success in the salon.
Throughout A Designer’s Approach library, all content is set up for student success, no matter the learning style. This structure models the four phases on Mindful Teaching:
- Readiness
- Delivery
- Application and Assessment
- Validation
