Why Mannequin heads?

Some say it is not realistic teaching...

The updo system method of teaching addresses real issues with real clients that will put real money in your pocket! 

The client is always top of mind. It's about interpreting the photos into a look while equipping you with the confidence to give that something special they will come back for!

Sometimes the perfect model with the perfect hair can make the stylist think, "Well, sure if I had such a beautiful model with perfect hair"...

It can actually feel intimidating! Mannequin heads eliminate that while focusing on the process more than the perfection. 

My heads have all been prepared to teach specific things. Mid-length hair? Yes! Fine thin hair? Yes! Shorter with layers? Yes!  Super long hair? Yes! 

Finally... learn WHY certain steps are taken, not just HOW. 

WHY learning supports the brain for better recall. How-to tutorials are quickly forgotten!  

Let's do life with our clients! Allow me to take you beyond the tutorial with the Updo System!
