Mastercutter Academy: Advanced haircutting workshops and private hair cutting and styling classes designed to teach so much more than classic precision hair cutting and styling. Experience what it's like to take a Mastercutter Academy workshop or private class. Train with the authority on precision haircutting, Laara Raynier, at Damian West Salon in NYC and The Living Room Salon in Costa Mesa, California.
In London and New York, Laara Raynier learned to master classic precision haircutting from the hair legend himself, Roger Thompson of Barney's NY. Thompson was one of the creators of precision haircutting as we know it. He was the first world art director of Vidal Sassoon in the '60s. Raynier worked with him at Barney's for ten years. Laara was also trained by and works with Edward Tricomi, of Warren Tricomi, where she learned to master long hair, blending, layering, styling, and blow-drying from the salon to the runways.
Training with Laara Raynier, you learn from her 25 years of experience, working with and learning from the most famous and revered stylists in the industry. Learn how to consult, learn how to master the most challenging haircuts with style and ease. Take advantage of Laara's knowledge and her amazing eye. This is the beauty of learning from someone who was trained by the masters. You can now access this level of expertise if you take a Mastercutter Academy workshop or private class.
