About Head Shape MattersÂŽ
What is Head Shape MattersÂŽ?
Head Shape MattersÂŽ is a patented haircutting system that takes the guesswork out of shaping hair. Instead of relying on âfeelâ or generic angles, HSM teaches stylists to analyze the clientâs unique head shape and use that geometry to design cuts that are intentional, flattering, and long-lasting.
-
Itâs science-based, not vibe-based
-
Itâs consistent, not chaotic
-
And itâs empowering, not intimidating
Whether youâre a student or a seasoned stylist, HSM gives you a repeatable framework that builds confidence behind the chair.
Cutting Curls with Confidence: The HSM Way is about breaking things down, explaining each element behind the method, and walking with you every step of the way. We believe in:
-
Clear explanations â no fluff
-
A supportive, non-intimidating space to learn
-
Encouragement, not ego
You'll leave this class not only with a plan of action â but a better mindset around curly cutting.
Â
" By taking this course (HSM), when a client shows us an inspirational photo, we now know exactly how to recreate it. Clients can style their hair with much less effort because the shape is in the cut and not in their styling abilities. "
