Pro Tips 

  1. For the best deep point cutting results, dry hair before adding texture with a Sam Villa Artist Series 6.25” Shear – the contoured blades slide seamlessly through all types of hair.
  2. Texturizing techniques like razor cutting can create different layers and add a choppy edge. 
  3. Adding highlights and lowlights in different colors and tones fosters a multidimensional textured look. 
  4. Add a side part, sweeping fringe or waves and curls for multiple styling options to fit any mood or occasion.
  5. Refresh or add/remove texture on the go with a cordless flat iron. 

"Creativity affords the opportunity to push the boundaries of classic design. Grow in your craft by challenging yourself to do something different. Discover something new with a 3-tiered bob and inspire your salon guests to embrace disconnected layers and endless styling choices,” Villa shares.
