Are You Missing Out on Creative Opportunities Behind the Chair?

Many hairdressers feel intimidated by long hair styling. But here's the truth:

With the right fundamentals in styling hair —product choice, setting designs, the art of back combing, how to  pin hair, and the ultimate style selection —fear turns into creative freedom.

Why This Bootcamp Actually Works

(When Others Don’t)

Why This Bootcamp Actually Works

(When Others Don’t)

We work together in real time — it’s “follow the leader” as I guide you through each step.

Coaching

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.


Learning Arc

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

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 Taste

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Most education still teaches outdated looks that don’t hold up.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.
