but you don’t feel skilled enough yet. — This Is For You.
Most Stylists Are Self-Taught — And That’s Why Growth Eventually Feels Frustrating.
Most aspiring stylists never received step-by-step instruction on:
• Precision parting and clean execution
• Proper tension and retention
• Building real confidence in their work
• Positioning themselves professionally
• Creating consistency in their skill set
You’ve been practicing.
Watching videos.
Trying to piece it together.
And for a while… that works.
But eventually, “figuring it out” isn’t enough.
This mentorship exists for the moment you decide you don’t just want to try hair —
you want to do it right.
With structure.
With refinement.
With guidance that helps you grow confidently and sustainably.
It’s step-by-step guidance that helps you actually understand what you’re doing — so your results get cleaner, faster, and more consistent.
Inside, you’ll get:
Imagine:
🙏🏽 Your parting cleaner.
🙏🏽 Your tension controlled.
🙏🏽 Your speed improving with practice.
🙏🏽 Feeling confident charging what your work reflects — without hesitation.
🙏🏽 Clients recognizing your growth and taking you seriously.
🙏🏽 Moving from “still figuring it out” to “I know what I’m doing.”
This is what happens when foundation and refinement finally align.

“I’m still learning… but I want my work to look cleaner and more professional.”
“My work is good — but it’s not as consistent as I want it to be.”
“I don’t want to keep guessing if I’m doing this right.”

“I’m putting in effort, but I don’t know what I should be refining right now.”
You’re not alone.
And you’re not behind.
You’re just missing structure.
Clear standards.
And guided refinement.
That’s exactly what this mentorship is designed to give you.
