Curly Cutting Essentials: Razor + Scissor Techniques with Anyea Garrido and Corinna Hernandez

Curly cutting isn’t one-size-fits-all — and neither is the tool. In this one-day intensive, Anyea Garrido and Corinna Hernandez come together to teach a balanced, modern approach to cutting curly hair using both scissor and razor techniques.

Anyea leads the scissor work, focusing on structure, balance, and longevity, while Corinna teaches razor techniques designed to create softness, shape, and movement. Together, they offer a clear framework for understanding when to use each tool — and how to design curly cuts that feel intentional, wearable, and true to the hair’s natural behavior.

This class is about making confident choices, refining your technique, and expanding your ability to work across curl patterns with clarity and control.
