COMBINATION CUTTING AND STYLING EVENT

5th MAY 2014

EVENT DESCRIPTION

THE CRAFT OF  ” RAW ” CUTTING

By rethinking and reconstructing my cutting technique I have created a style called the   ” Raw cut “.

By using curved scissors I can cut curvilinear shapes to follow the movement of the hair creating body and volume.

This I demonstrated at Hair Expo trade show , it gives a more gritty feel to my classic cuts but still being appropriate for everyday wear.

Dario Chicco hosted a cutting seminar early this month, revealing a unique individual way of cutting that halves the time spent cutting the conventional way.

Participants were shown how to master the art of sculpture and free style cutting without the use of a brush.

I first did what I call the back to front V cut,” explained Dario.
“It’s a cutting flow of starting at the nape cutting a V upside down and as you cut your way to the front the V opens wider up till the centre of the head, where it has opened to a flat straight line – as you continue the V shape comes in tighter.”
So you start with a V shape at the nape and end with a V at the front.”
Dario continued to use the V method across a variety of styles and forms in what he call Sculpture Cutting – a free hand technique that sculptures the hair to the contours of the head creating soft and feminine lines that have flow and movement.
Scissors and electric clippers or razors are used and any tapering or thinning is done after the hair is dried. Haircuts are completed in ten to fifteen minutes and by that time the hair is almost dry so very little blow drying is done without a brush. The result is a wash and wear free flowing haircut.

Receiving outstanding feedback from participants, Dario has scheduled his next seminar for Monday 4th February 2013.      www.voihaircuts.com.au

TESTIMONIAL
“Good afternoon Joanne,
My name is Janemary Manderson, and I have been cutting & styling hair since I was 11, self taught, which was back in 1982… I’ve been styling hair legally since I trained and qualified in 1991, at Cataldo’s Salon in Canberra, also spending years working all over the world on luxury cruiseships as a Hairstylist and Spa Manager, before opening my salon in The Rocks, MOHS Hair & Beauty.
Believe me, I know my stuff as I have trained with, been inspired by, and worked alongside many amazing hair experts from the best salons in Australia and around the world.
On monday evening I attended the demonstration of hair sculpture by Dario Chicco at his salon, Voi in the Diamant Hotel in Kings Cross.
My collegue Phoebe, and I were very interested to find out about the simplicity and flowing cuts that Dario specialises in. It is certainly a point of difference to work without a brush and without product in the hair!
At MOHS Hair & Beauty, we both come from training in, and predominately practice , quite structured hairstyling, using a blowdryer and brush to shape and style the hair, as well as using products, sometimes 5 or 6 different types, throughout the course of a styling session with our clients.
Darios’ approach to Hairdressing, which doesn’t require product, uses only the hands to style the hair, was like a breath of fresh air. It allows the hairs natural fall and shape to dominate, and the cut accentuates the natural flow of the hair.
The level of complexity that the precision cutting style of doing hair teaches, was stripped back by Dario to using his eye for detail and balance and using a flowing and economical technique that I couldn’t wait to try on my clients in the salon the next day. (And there were quite a few happy ladies with new haircuts leaving my hands the next day.)
It made me think of the time when I first started cutting hair and wasn’t caught up with the technicalities of angles and combing and sectioning and filling the hair up with goop to force it into a shape.
Darios’ way of speaking plainly, willingness to answer questions on the minute details of what he was doing, and his openness in sharing his secrets had Phoebe and I in agreement that we would like to adopt these techniques to our repertoire and we will most definitely love to attend more sessions with Dario in the future.
Go and watch Darios’ Videos on you tube, they are amazing, especially the dancer who pirouettes as Dario cuts……….
btw he didn’t pay me to write this it’s all true.
Please pass this on to whomever you wish, I certainly aspire to someone being as blown away by me, as I was on Monday night. I reccommend that every stylist, especially those who think they’ve seen it all, go watch Dario create his sculptured cuts. I makes you see how much time you waste combing and sectioning, when you could be finishing your look quickly and naturally. It’s not for every client, but we should always try to add new strings to our bow.
I’m glad I saw this on styleicons…..so give us more training and inspirational evenings please!
kindest regards,”

TESTIMONIAL

“I must say that i really enjoyed the evening with Dario Chicco and his demonstration of sculpture & freestyle cutting.
From the moment i walked in the door he was a wealth of information and so open to sharing & showing his method of cutting hair into shape.
Without the fuss of precise sectioning. By using his techniques and some funky curved scissors he showed me the end result was a cut which simply fell into place with no need to blow-dry with brushes and products.
It may mean that hairdressers miss out on selling products but we will definitely benefit from happy clients & repeat business!!!

What a talent!!

Womens Cutting Skills Classes

Improve your skills. Learn to cut hair into shape, not blow wave into shape.

A haircut should take max 30 minutes to cut, by the end of 30 minutes the hair is almost dry and already shaped and all that is required is a gentle hand dry.

Learn how to layer, graduate, taper, fade, free style cutting, front to back & back to front graduating & chopping. Learn the diamond cut, cutting long, medium and short hair with clippers. Learn to forward cut.

My cutting experience is from the French and English and my own techniques from the sixties and seventies, when haircutting was an art. Unfortunately those skills are disappearing. Today it’s all about over blow drying and the use of straightening tongs, which changes the texture of the hair and causes damage.

I can teach groups in your salon or one on one.
