Class Info
Phillip Wilson, Creative Director and creator of The Wilson Method of Haircutting will demonstrate why the Wilson Method is fast, efficient and exciting for clients. Learn to master the perfect 7 min. BOB.
Phillip trained with the Grand Masters of Europe AND WITH Vidal Sassoon, who pioneered precision hair cutting, in the UK where Phillip was born and raised. He wanted to balance his cuts and be different than everyone else, so, he combined all he learned to create his way of cutting hair.
When he moved to North America in the 90’s and began to work with L’anza, he combined the understanding of head shape, movement and design lines from the precision training and the art and flow of the free flowing, lower tension cutting of the likes of Alexander of Paris into his now iconic “Wilson Method.”
WHAT IS IT?
The Wilson Method uses tools such as twin combs, and twin brushes to manage and direct a large amount of hair at one time into a specific area to create over-direction, with low tension and place the guideline in one single line. Example working in the center back, you can bring all of the hair back to the center with twin combs. (They are all large teeth to create even tension) The Center back is your shortest point and the hair gets longs as it moves toward the face. (over-direction) You can create as steep or as shallow of graduation (layering) that you want based on the angle (tilt) of your combs. If the top of the combs is tilted out and down then your graduation is minimal. If the combs are standing up with a slight tilt, your graduation is steep.
