#BLENDLIKEABOSS: EXPERT HAIR EXTENSION BLENDING TECHNIQUES 

SHEA WHITE - DONNA BELLA 

We’ve all seen embarrassingly obvious hair extensions! The dead giveaway is the glaring gap between someone’s own shorter-length hair, 

and the longer extensions that flow beneath. In this session, you’ll uncover how to expertly blend extensions by learning how to recommend 

the proper amount of extensions for your client’s hair type and by learning the four key components to blending extensions: Determining 

the length, framing the face, connecting the layers between your client’s hair and the extensions, and polishing and detailing your work.

HAIRCUTTING TECHNIQUES THAT MAKE SENSE 

CHUCK CAPLE 

Successful hair cutting may be considered a complex study, but there is a simplistic approach that “every” stylists young & old...beginner or advanced 

can use. Chuck has simplified hair cutting like no other trainer around. All haircutting...no matter what the shape, is built on specific principles and theory. 

But effective teaching and understanding of successful hair cutting is having an educator who is capable of teaching it in a way that even a child can 

understand. Chuck is the guy you’ve been looking for, for years to make hair cutting so simplified that you can walk away mastering the cut. It isn’t the 

art of cutting that has puzzled stylists for years....it’s the absence of having the right kind of educator to teach it to you. This is a “must see” class!

IF YOU DON’T KNOW FORMULATION, YOU DON’T KNOW COLOR 

CHUCK CAPLE 

Color problems come up frequently simply because of a lack of knowledge and understanding of color formulation. Many stylists never consider color 

correction until the problem arises. They never prepare for it. There aren’t any standard color correction antidotes or list of solutions. It really depends 

on the problem at hand. The best answer to color correction is to know and understand complete “formulation”. The more you know about how to 

formulate and to write formulas, the more likely you are to be able to trouble shoot and correct your color problems. We will discuss several problem 

areas and determine the proper steps to fix them. So if you’re having correction problems....don’t miss this class.

DERMAPLANING + MASKS & LED PHOTO REJUVENATION JESSICA MARTIN 

When it comes to the latest ‘beauty treatment”, Dermaplaning is a highly desirable skincare essential, that’s become a firm favorite of celebrities 

and Aesthetic clients over the last couple of years. This treatment is for retaining a natural glowing, flawless complexion. As a non-invasive facial 

treatment, Dermaplaning has the ability to address a number of skincare concerns, ranging from unwanted signs of premature ageing to mild scarring 

and pigmentation. Also learn about photofacials. Photofacial is a term for a skin treatment that uses some kind of light-based technology, primarily for 

boosting collagen, treating brown spots, and diminishing broken capillaries. 

• Dermaplaning encourages the normal shedding (desquamation) of the stratum corneum and the removal of dead keratinised cells from the epidermis 

(top layer) of the skin. 

• Dermaplaning minimizes the appearance of fine lines and superficial scars. 

• Dermaplaning increases the skin’s ability to absorb topical products and high performance cosmecuticals which have been developed to target 

specific skincare issues. 

• Dermaplaning primes the skin for other medi-aesthetics modalities such as chemical peels, micro needling, mesotherapy and LED light mask therapy. 

• Dermaplaning removes fine ‘vellus’ hairs from the face and creates an even surface free from sebum and excess keratin.

Jason Schneidman 

The Mens Groomer - #themensgroomer 


In everything he does, Jason Schneidman draws inspiration from his Southern California roots and the fashionable surroundings where he 

still lives, loves and works. It’s Hollywood – both its old glamour and its modern vibe – that moves him and informs his style, his choices and 

his life. 

Growing up on the beaches of SoCal, Jason was born into a carefree, keep-it-simple lifestyle. Surfing, loud motorcycles and fast cars 

have been lifelong muses as have rock music legends like Jim Morrison, who set a young Jason free with his innovative music and his 

unstrung style. Another inspiration was in Mid-Century Hollywood where Jason found heroes both intelligent and rebellious – from James 

Dean to Steve McQueen. 

Jason cuts and styles hair like no one else. His cuts reflect his inspirations by allowing choice: classic and coiffed or tussle it and go! Either 

way, it always looks good…and it always, always looks cool. “A man should look and feel carefree and confident,” says Jason, “in the 

way he dresses and the way he wears his hair. This is what makes a man genuinely sexy.” 

Easy, relaxed, confident and stylish. This is who Jason is and he brings that spirit, energy and attitude to his work with each client, every 

day, no matter who they are. Some of Jason’s most recent work is helping his community, giving haircuts to the homeless. This new work 

is very close to him.

Education is how we stay
