CORNERSTONES OF DESIGN

THE FOUR BASIC FORMS

We see hair as art, with each strand ready to tell a story. Our curriculum helps learners develop critical thinking skills to See, Think, Create and Adapt hair styles creatively and consistently. We teach hair cutting using Pivot Point’s four basic forms, which are the foundation for any haircut. Once these forms are mastered, the possibilities are endless.

THE 7 SCULPTING PROCEDURES

You say cutting, we say sculpting. By viewing hair design as art, our sculpting procedures are grounded in design principles that lead to predictable results. This approach is proven to help learners grow their skillsets and confidence in the salon.
Not only will they be able to recreate looks, but they’ll be also able to develop new trends.
