You have no idea how mad this made me.

So youre sayin that my license isnt as good as your degree?

HOW DARE YOU!

while i may not have to go to school for 4+ years, my license is still fuckin valid! i pay tuition the same as you do! my $17,000 is just as good as your $40,000.

however, all of my shit is included: my books, my shears, my clippers, my combs, all that shit!

ok so mr. engineer, mr. lawyer, mr. doctor, mr.neurosurgeon

do you know how to:

• side slice?
• razor taper?
• do a savage  cut?
• what makes red hair red?
• what the natural  hair color level of most celtic hair is?

I BET YOU FUCKIN DONT.

answers:

Side Slice: hold a large section of hair between your index and middle fingers (or a camb)

with the razor held vertically slide the tip back and  forth across the ends.

Razor Taper: Use the tip of the razor and cut small intermittent (alternating) strands of hair half an inch away from the scalp.

Savage Cut: divide the back of the head into 2 sections. use diagonal partings that gradyally become horizontal to conform to the head. 

begin a  diagonal back baseline from the nose to blend w/ the length established in the back. cut using diagonal partings.

shift the hair in front 1/3 to the baseline to create layers and longer length.

repeat on the other side.

create reverse positive  elevation by establishing a 6' guide at the crown. cut the top guide anti-head, getting slightly longer at the face.

Repeat.

divide the back of  th e head into 3 panels.  cut the center panel  using a small section of previously cut hair from the top as a guide. bring all  hair up and use a squeezing technique.

cut the side back panels in the same manner.

Blend the layering in the front of the head and the cener back panel.

check and blend all lengths and layering in the front.

check entire head.

Done.

red hair is red because of Pheomelanin

most celtic hair is naturallyin the 4  to 7 level range.the more you lift this the more gold and orange tones you will see

I know my shit.

 (granted yes i did use my book for that step-by-step of the savage cut and how to spell "Pheomelanin")

cosmetology is no fuckin joke.

and i dont appreciate when people say that I'm not learning anything "practical" or "life skills"

UM THIS IS MY JOB

thats pretty fuckin practical  to me!

I had to learn chemistry and anatomy, maybe not the way a surgeon would, but goddammnit if i mix shit wrong you can bet that nothing good can come from it!

I have to know about diseases of the skin.
