Platform Artistry: Short Hair Cuts, Colors & Styles

In this training video, Randy Topham demonstrates two short hair cuts using clippers and shears, two hair color techniques, and two styles for each cut to illustrate their versatility. In this training video, learn to create a variation on a sharp short bob by framing the sides with a sloping fringe and long bangs with shears; deposit color, leaving natural hair color as highlighter with a protective clear color for a soft blend from root to tip; then style for a sleek forward flair or for an elegant evening with loose, creatively shaped curls. And learn how to feather-edge with a razor for a disconnected, funky yet chic style; pop the blonde with panels of shadow with color blocking; and, style for a spontaneous look with scrunching or for a luxurious sleek with sculpted touches created with fibrous gum.
