MENTOR PROGRAM

YEARLY HANDS ON EDUCATION

OVERVIEW

The Mentor Program is evolving into something even more powerful – our brand-new DCI MasterClass.

The MasterClass is designed for hairdressers who want more: more creativity, more confidence, more technical speed, and more joy behind the chair.

We’re introducing a fresh, modern approach to cutting and styling that centres on fast, effective techniques and on-trend looks that reignite the fun of being a hairdresser. You’ll learn the kind of work that excites clients, highlights your individuality, and naturally attracts new people to your chair, helping you grow, thrive, and truly stand out.

But this MasterClass is not just about technique, it’s about you.

Each class, will focus on one powerful technique, diving deep into the details so you understand exactly how and why it works. By the end of each day, you won’t just know it, you’ll own it for the rest of your career.

We’ll also guide you through a new way of carrying yourself in the salon: how you communicate, how you connect, and how you express your confidence through presence and body language. This personal shift is what transforms a great hairdresser into an unforgettable one.

We are excited to share the DCI MasterClass with you. It’s fresh. It’s inspiring. It’s transformative.

And it’s been designed to help you become the most confident, creative version of yourself.

Transform your confidence.
