Over the last nine years I have been fortunate to have traveled to several US cities, the UK, Italy, Toronto, France and the Orient. I have spent my life's savings and attended over 70 advanced classes training with many of the industries best. I have been blessed to have mentored under great names including Jo Blackwell, Nancy Braun, the Fred Segal Team, Sam Villa, the Doves, Robert Cromeans, Michael McCune, Canada’s Robert DeBartolo and up-hair master Martin Parsons, France's famous Alexandre de Paris Team, the U K's Mahogany Team, Trevor Sorbie Team, L'Oreal UK Team, Wedding specialist Royston Blithe and my favorite Taiwan's VERN Team. For the last three years this unique cutting system has become my true passion. The VERN ambidextrous cutting system has the ability to produce the perfect cut by utilizing the right and left hand in ways traditional single handed system cannot duplicate. To see the incredible cutting skills of the VERN Team, copy-and-paste the address below.
