LIVE MASTERCLASS | TEXTURE RE.IMAGINED | LOOK, LEARN & DO
Cutting Through Textures led by Alannah Read and Chrissy Zemura
A full day with two of Australia's leading texture educators that reshapes how you understand, approach, and work with textured hair.
SECURE YOUR SPOTWatch live demonstrations, then immediately put what you learned into practice.
Cutting Through Textures closes that gap in one day.
Look: Organic SUKU Creative Director Chrissy Zemura and SUKU Ambassador Alannah Read kick off the day with live cutting sessions on real models with textures ranging from 3A to 4C. You'll see technique-driven design in action: how texture mapping, sectioning, and finishing decisions are adjusted with every pattern.
Learn: With each demonstration, Chrissy and Alannah break down the reasoning behind every decision: why they chose that approach, what the texture demanded, and how to read those signals on your own clients.
Do: By the afternoon, it's your turn. It's time to build on the skills you learned in the morning. Practical sessions on textured hair models let you apply what you just watched, with Chrissy and Alannah guiding, correcting, and refining your technique in real time.
There are two ways to attend:
Look & Learn
Join for the full morning session. Watch the live demonstrations, learn the reasoning behind every technique, and leave with a deeper understanding of textured hair cutting. For stylists who want to observe expert-level work and build their conceptual knowledge.
Look, Learn & Do
Secure one of the exclusive full-day practical placements. We keep this group intentionally small so you get hands-on time with Chrissy and Alannah with real models under their direct guidance. For stylists ready to turn what they've watched into skills they can use in the chair.
What you’ll learn
Texture mapping
How to identify and read the unique traits of 3A to 4C curls and coils before you pick up your shears
Dry vs wet cutting
When and why to use each approach, and how texture changes the calculation
Sculptural vs layered cuts
Methods driven by texture, shape, and density rather than a one-size-fits-all system
Client communication
How to navigate expectations, run a texture-specific consultation, and build confidence from the first conversation
Finishing techniques
How styling reveals the intent and architecture of the cut, and why the finish is part of the cutting process
Salon and set crossover
Techniques that translate across both commercial and creative environments
Styling integration
How cut and finish support each other, and how to approach styling as an extension of the cut itself
Tools and product selection
Which tools support your technique and which products enhance results across different textures
Why stylists invest in this
The stylist who understands the technique adjustments behind every texture decision is the one clients travel for, refer their friends to, and stay with for years.
Who this masterclass is for:
Stylists, salon professionals, and freelance artists who want to sharpen their cutting skills across the full texture spectrum. Whether you're early in your texture journey or looking to refine your existing technique, this masterclass meets you where you are.
