Get back to the fundamentals of foiling in this hands-on boot camp, designed for stylists new to foils or those looking to refine their technique

Focus on the placement, timing, and purpose of each foil, understanding why each decision creates a specific effect. Learn how to work smarter, not harder, maximising impact through strategic placement rather than over-foiling, while tailoring your approach to each client’s hair and desired result.

What you'll learn:
  • How to read hair types and textures to determine the best foil placement
  • The purpose behind different foil placements and how they affect the final look
  • Techniques to control lightening and avoid over-processing
  • How to tailor foiling patterns to achieve specific results, from subtle dimension to bold contrast
