Take your skills to the next level
Video tutorials, whether recorded or live, are essential learning tools because they add another dimension to learning that makes the educational experience more effective and helps with retention.
If you’re someone who learns better when you can see what you’re trying to accomplish laid out in front of you, then video tutorials are definitely for you. For pretty much anything you want to learn to do, you can find a tutorial online that will give you an audio-visual experience to help you through every step of the process.
Below is a collection of video tutorials that can help you try new styles and techniques. Unfortunately, professional hairstylists do not make the videos, so I ask you to use caution when trying out each style. Also, please fully watch the videos before trying each style so you can determine what products to use and how and when to use them.
