As we approach the end of the Period Hairdressing module, I’m always a little sad to see this one conclude—I truly enjoy teaching it. As a finale, students are given the freedom to apply their newly developed skills by designing an elaborate Georgian hairstyle. Today, they are refining their constructions in preparation for next week’s final dressing.
