Is This the Right Fit for You?

This is a 12-week creative challenge built for stylists who are ready for more — more confidence, more inspiration, more growth behind the chair.


Here’s how to know if it’s the right next step for you:

This Challenge is for you if…

  • You feel bored doing the same haircut over and over.

  • You’re stuck in a pricing plateau — doing more for less

  • You want to feel proud of your consultations, not just “get through them”.

  • You’re ready to face your fear of razor cuts or short hair.

  • You style by habit but want to style with vision.

  • You want to become the go-to stylist in your salon or city.

  • You know your talent deserves more than burnout.

This Challenge is not for you if…

  • You’re looking for quick tricks instead of building long-term skill.

  • You’re not open to trying new tools or techniques.

  • You want to stay in your comfort zone.

  • You don’t have time to practice, reflect, and grow.

  • You’re not ready to challenge your mindset or elevate your artistry.

These are the shares from our students

What You’ll Learn — and Why It Matters

This isn’t just a class to brush up your basics. The 12-Week Challenge is designed to help you cut with purpose, consult with confidence, and build a design eye that sets you apart.

You’ll walk away with refined technique, renewed inspiration, and the tools to transform every client — not just maintain them.

This is where styling becomes storytelling — and your creativity becomes your signature.

  • Cutting for face shape, lifestyle, and personality
  • Designing short, medium, and long hair with confidence
  • Blending shape and texture using a razor (without fear)
  • Creating seamless layers with movement and softness
  • Using tools like Velcro rollers, root lifts, and cool sets for polished finishes
  • Finishing with intention — not habit

This is where styling becomes story. These are the artistic muscles you’ll strengthen:

  • Delivering 5-star consultations that elevate client trust
  • Seeing suitability through the lens of facial balance and personality
  • Styling with visual flow and a designer’s eye
  • Communicating your vision and leading the client experience
  • Raising your prices because your value is visible
  • Attracting ideal clients — and keeping them coming back

Why This Challenge Actually Works

(When Other Courses Fall Flat)

Why This Bootcamp Actually Works

(When Others Don’t)

You’ve taken classes. You’ve watched tutorials. But this is something completely different.

Coaching

Real-Time Coaching — Not Passive Content

Most education is “watch and hope.” This is “show and grow.”

Gold-level participants receive live, interactive feedback every week — with real-time coaching from Vivienne to correct technique, elevate your design eye, and guide your next step. Silver learners get full access to all content, guided prompts, and replays for flexible practice.


Learning Arc

A Complete Learning Arc: Idea → Execution → Feedback → Mastery

You won’t just follow steps — you’ll learn how to think like a designer.

Vivienne teaches from the inside out, guiding you from vision to execution with built-in systems for self-critiquing, problem-solving, and growing beyond formulas.


Visual Journaling

Visual Journaling That Changes How You See

This isn’t about just doing the work — it’s about seeing your growth.

Throughout the Challenge, you’ll document your creative breakthroughs with photos, notes, and self-reflection. This builds not just retention, but a deeper sense of artistic confidence. It’s part education, part portfolio development — and 100% transformational.


Fashion Taste

A Fashion-Forward Eye — Not Outdated Templates

Most haircutting education still teaches looks that feel flat or outdated.

Vivienne brings the taste of an editorial artist, the structure of a master educator, and the heart of a mentor. You’ll learn to create haircuts and finishes that are modern, wearable, and creatively elevated.


Fashion Taste

A Path Beyond the Challenge

This Challenge is just the beginning.

You’ll also gain access to Vivienne’s broader educational path — including ongoing mentorship, advanced workshops, and the Hair Designer Program — so you can continue building a career that inspires you long after the 12 weeks end.

SEE WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN DETAIL

Transform the Way You Consult — and the Way Clients See You

In this Challenge, you won’t just learn how to cut. You’ll learn how to lead

 

The consultation is where trust is built, vision is shared, and transformation begins. Yet most stylists are never taught how to lead it with confidence.

Inside the 12-Week Challenge, you’ll learn Vivienne’s signature consultation method — a simple, powerful framework that moves you from order-taker to trusted expert.

You’ll stop asking vague questions like “What are we doing today?”

And start asking questions that unlock clarity, confidence, and commitment.

 

Key Consultation Prompts You’ll Master:

  •  What’s your favorite feature?
  • What do you most like or dislike about your hair?
  • How much time are you willing to spend styling each day?
  • Do you want to feel fabulous every day — or just for special occasions?
  • Would you like to try something that frames your face and makes your eyes pop?

Result:

Your clients will walk away saying, “No one’s ever asked me that before.”
And they’ll come back — because they trust you to bring out their best.


Great consultations don’t just improve the haircut — they transform the relationship.

Master the Razor — and Cut With Total Confidence

This isn’t just another tool. It’s your creative edge.

Most stylists avoid the razor out of fear — fear of damage, of unpredictability, of doing two haircuts instead of one.

But inside the 12-Week Challenge, that fear fades fast.

Vivienne will show you how to use the razor with control, artistry, and intention — so you can design shape and texture in one seamless service.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Create softness, movement, and modern flow
  • Eliminate bulk without over-texturizing
  • Work with all hair lengths — not just long styles
  • Educate your clients so they see the razor as a benefit, not a threat

Result:

You won’t just learn how to use the razor. You’ll learn how to own it.


Stylists who once avoided short hair now call the razor their favorite tool. This is the transformation waiting for you.

Stop Finishing with Habit. Start Finishing with Intention.

Styling is where your vision comes to life — but only if you approach it like a designer.

Too many stylists treat styling as an afterthought: one brush, one round brush, and done.

But in the 12-Week Challenge, you’ll learn to treat the finish as the final frame — the moment your creative vision is fully revealed.

Vivienne will show you how to elevate your finishing work with small, powerful changes that make your clients look (and feel) next-level — without adding extra time behind the chair.

You’ll learn to work with:

  • Velcro rollers for volume and shape memory
  • Root lifts and directional partings for balance and flow
  • Cool sets and soft crown lift for modern movement
  • Visual styling techniques that elevate even the simplest haircut

Result:

Ordinary blow-dries become editorial. Clients leave feeling camera-ready. And you walk away knowing your work didn’t just look good in the mirror — it holds up in real life.


The tools aren’t new. The vision is. That’s what changes everything.
