Textured Hair Education – Pivot Point International
LET’S CHANGE THE CONVERSATION AROUND TEXTURED HAIR
As demand for textured services continues to grow, it is critical for learners to feel comfortable and confident with all hair types. Our research tells us that many schools have limited exposure and expertise in teaching textured hair and that professionals–who don’t feel they have appropriate skills–are turning down services.
That’s where we come in, and it all begins with education. We’re on a mission to empower Cosmetology and Barber learners by laying a solid foundation of knowledge. Our mindful, comprehensive curriculum and industry-relevant resources dive deep into the world of all hair textures, ensuring you and your learners stay ahead of the curve.
Access to the right content is only one step in the journey. Learners need the proper tools to learn and practice their techniques. Our expanded range of mannequin curl patterns, from wavy to coily, offer the variety needed to practice today’s popular trends. We are more than an educational partner; we’re your gateway to shaping the future of beauty.
