What You’ll Actually Learn—and Why It Matters
This isn’t a watch-and-copy class. Every section is about training your eye, sharpening your instincts, and designing with clarity and purpose.
You’ll learn how to think like a designer—how to see hair the way fashion designers see fabric. They dip into the past, pull inspiration from forgotten decades, and add today’s edge to create something no one's seen before. And that’s exactly what we’ll do with hair.
Every editorial I’ve ever done—every fashion show, every shoot—started with a story. Sometimes it was ‘60s mod meets Edwardian romance. Two decades with nothing in common—yet together, the fusion was electric. That’s the secret. And that’s what this Boot Camp is about
These are the high-level techniques you’ll learn hands-on and apply in real time:
- Waves: Classic and clean or wild and raw—learn to tailor them to your story.
- French Twist: Get structure, hold, and a flawless silhouette that lasts under lights.
- Ponytail: From basic to bold—elevate this staple into a statement piece.
- The art of back combing
- The art of pinning
- How to see and map and rehearse the silhouette during your consultation
- Working with hair pieces
- The importance of a set
This Bootcamp is more than technique—it’s about seeing hair through the lens of history and bringing timeless styles into today’s world.
- Study history to break rules wisely. Trace the lineage of iconic looks and learn how to flip them.
- Master retro foundations, remix for today. It’s not about copying Pinterest—it's about understanding structure and reimagining it.
- Design with a point of view. Face shape and body type balance, 3 wheels of fashion
- Train your eye like a photographer. See lines, balance, silhouette, each style will be photo journalled to learn every step of the way

We work together in real time — it’s “follow the leader” as I guide you through each step.
Real-Time Coaching—Not Passive Content
Most classes are “watch and hope.” This is “show and do.”
Gold participants receive live, interactive feedback on their form, pinning, product use, and more—during the session, in the moment.
Silver learners get structured access, guided chat, and full replays for reflective practice.
A Full Learning Arc: Idea → Execution → Feedback → Mastery
You don’t just follow steps—you learn how to think like an artist.
Vivienne guides you from pre-visualization to troubleshooting and self-critique, so you build real systems that stick.
Visual Journaling for Deeper Retention
You’ll photograph your progress as you go—capturing micro-breakthroughs and learning how to see growth with your own eyes.
It’s part education, part portfolio development, and 100% transformative.
Fashion-Forward Taste, Not Bridal Catalog Clichés
Most education still teaches outdated looks that don’t hold up.
Vivienne brings the eye of a fashion editor, the structure of a master stylist, and the sensitivity of a storyteller.
You’ll learn to design styles that are current, elevated, and camera-ready.
