Cosmetologist Crossover to Barbering Class:
Our Cosmetologist Crossover to Barbering Class is designed to help you expand your skill set and confidently make the transition to barbering.We understand that you already have a strong foundation in shear cutting and styling, so our class will focus on a segmented five-phase approach that builds upon that foundation. We'll start by teaching you how to properly set up each tool for success and select the right tool at the right time. From there, we'll share industry secrets on how to use your clippers, trimmers, and shavers to achieve consistent and satisfying cuts.
Our goal is to help you overcome any fears or intimidation you may have about cutting hair too short or removing lines. By the end of our program, you will have the confidence to crossover from cosmetology to barbering with ease. We will provide you with the tools and knowledge to grow your barbering skill set and help expand your career oppotunities.
6 Phases Advanced Cutting Class:
Our 6 Phases Advanced Cutting Class is specifically designed for experienced barbers and cosmetologists who already have a strong understanding of fading and clipper cutting. Using mannequins, we'll guide you through a departmentalized approach that breaks down the cutting process into six distinct phases.
By the end of the class, you'll earn your advanced cutting certificate and gain valuable insights into the biggest struggles that professionals in our industry face. We'll cover topics such as removing harsh skin lines, tips for creating clean and precise edge-ups, and developing a system that brings satisfaction to your clients and consistency to your services. Our goal is to provide you with the tools andtechniques you need to take your cutting skills to the next level and deliver exceptional results to your clients.
Clipper Over Comb Class:
Are you frustrated with how long it takes you to achieve a fade? Do you feel like other barbers around you are producing exceptional work at a much faster pace? If so, our hands-on class is here to help. Using mannequins, we will take you through a ground-up approach to achieving the perfect fade. Our technique goes beyond just using guards and focuses on removing bulk, following the contour of the head, and blending from skin into long hair.
In our Gamma+/StyleCraft clipper-over-comb class, we'll break down everything from how to hold the comb, to rolling and resetting it, to building consistency with anchor points and more. Our goal is to teach you the skills you need to achieve a flawless fade every time, at a pace that works for you.
Sales Force Training Class:
At our company, we firmly believe that comprehensive product knowledge is key to giving your sales force a competitive edge. Understanding both your own products and those of your competitors is essential to understanding why certain products sell well while others do not. Our classes are specifically designed to identify the common struggles of cosmetologists and barbers, and to provide effective solutions to those challenges. Many professionals in our industry stick to the same tools out of habit or a lack of education about better alternatives. We aim to change that by offering fun and interactive hands-on training sessions.
Using mannequins, we'll put your sales force in the driver's seat and allow them to make a lasting connection with our tools. By seeing, feeling, and using the products themselves, your team will gain a higher understanding of what their clients go through and be better equipped to make recommendations in the field. Our training will cover a catered list of tools (depending on what you carry), and we'll teach your team about each feature that makes our products stand out. We will also compare our tools to other products in the industry, so that your sales force can understand how our tools stand out from the others.

Lexi Rainbolt - @hairby.lexie
Hi! My name is Lexie Rainbolt. I grew up in a small town in Illinois and moved to South Florida a few years ago to chase bigger opportunities in the beauty industry. I’ve always had a love for hair since I was young and have been working behind the chair for a little over six years now. In 2022, I started living my dream of teaching my own color and social media classes across the United States and Canada. Since then I’ve led sold out classes at events like America’s Beauty Show in Chicago and Masters of Balayage in San Diego, and was honored to be named in the Top 100 for balayage at the BTC show.
Social media has been the heart of my passion throughout my journey and is where my true love for the industry has grown. I have been creating content on TikTok and Instagram for more than four years; sharing education and lighthearted moments that make people smile. I believe this industry should be fun and inspiring, and I want to create a space where stylists feel encouraged to share their stories. Every experience is one you should own and is what helps shape the artist we become.
