Let's finish celebrating our MODERN SALON 100!

While some feel that cutting hair wet allows for more precision and control, making it easier to shape the hair and create defined lines, especially with structured cuts, other prefer cutting dry, saying it offers a more visual approach, where you can see the hair’s natural fall and behavior, allowing for more texture and movement. 

We’re so lucky to have the creator of Ivy Ann Shears, Ivy herself, on hand to talk to us about the fundamentals of wet and dry cutting tools, and why it matters. You’ll learn how these tools affect not only the final look but also the overall texture, shape, and movement of the hair. Whether you’re brand new to using shears or curious about exploring specialized tools, Ivy will offer some expert insights.

Ivy Miller, Ivy Ann Professional Shears
