No, we do not.

We have developed our own cutting systems through the years and it works well for us. It is also very easy to learn!

Once a week during the first 8 weeks you will shampoo each other. About 6 weeks into your training you will bring in a friend or family member to do your first cut on. When you have completed the entire first 8 weeks you are available to start practicing on clients.
