Read MoreI really enjoyed this course, and feel so thankful and grateful to have been able to take it. Traci is an amazing teacher. Her presentations are fascinating, enlightening, and fun. The way in which she breaks down the techniques and explains them is amazing. Traci is patient, always welcomes questions, and is very inspiring. I loved this course because Traci not only taught me a new technique of cutting a bob, but also helped to enlighten me to do it in a way that I never could have ever imagined. It was a fabulous experience. Thank you Traci, and everyone at Sassoon.
