Andsome Academy: Short Length Cutting 2-Day Course

Learn to cut short hair the Andsome way.

This 2-day course is designed to help you understand short hair in a clear, simple, and practical way. We focus on the techniques that matter most: layers, graduation, and lines, and show you how to use them to build clean shapes and balanced, modern cuts for all clients, using genderless technical skills.

Everything you learn is broken down step by step so you can understand the “why” behind every choice. You will work entirely on mannequin heads, giving you the time and space to slow down, repeat techniques, and build real confidence without the pressure of working on a live client.

The aim is for you to leave with a stronger eye, better control, and a more structured approach to cutting short hair the Andsome way.
