Curling Iron Artistry

Overview

Created by Bb.Global Artistic Director Laurent Philippon (who crafted Dita Von Teese's signature 1940's curls and the award-winning 1930's marcel waves for Gwen Stefani's "It’s My Life" video) – we're debuting an advanced styling class focused on curling iron techniques. An essential part of backstage and editorial culture, curling iron techniques play a huge role in modern hairdressing. In Curling Iron Artistry, you’ll learn your way around a Marcel iron, understand the fundamentals of curling style techniques, learn how to create curl patterns, and incorporate classic and current influences into your work.

"Once you learn the logic," says Laurent, "everything else is reachable."

Students will:

Understand the fundamentals of curling iron techniques
Identify and breakdown curl patterns
Learn to create looks using various Marcel iron techniques
Examine and deconstruct visual images
Learn to incorporate classic and modern influences
