Streaking!

Using a streaking cap that is,

Today we learnt how to highlight hair using a streaking cap.

Some of us liked it, some of us ( like Paige in the background) found she liked foils better, as you can see.

Chloe's block looked rather shocked when the cap came off

So we had a bit of fun with it

First time foils.

Today we had our first session about foiling.

First of all we had to section the hair correctly.

Then after a demonstration by Lisa, we tried ourselves.

We really enjoyed it and Lisa said we did a great job for our first time.

What do you think?

Taking it up a notch.

Today we took it up a notch. We are nearing the end of our level one and need to think about level two.

 

Lisa set us a challenge. 

To complete a uniform layered cut from start to finish or complete a full head of foils and be timed doing it.

Lisa and Mary said they had never known us be so quiet. 

Congratulations to Emily and Becky who completed a full head of foils in .......

ONE HOUR. An excellent effort. 

And Leah did and excellent uniformed layered which would easily pass a level two assessment! 

Lisa and Mary were extremely proud tutors today.
