About the Academy
The Mona Cut Academy™ builds hair stylists’ knowledge and skills to confidently cut curls, coils, and waves.
Curly hair is like a bouquet of flowers; each curl lifting up and out into space. Depending on the hair’s characteristics, placement, and the end goal, stylists learn how to construct iconic silhouettes on a variety of textures and curl patterns.
Historically, the industry’s straight-centric beauty standards have muted the voices of curly-haired clients, leaving them with limited choices. The Mona Cut Academy™ is expanding curly clients’ options by providing curl education that trains stylists to see the immense beauty and possibilities of curly, coily, and wavy hair.
