What are some good ways to learn to cut hair?

There are many ways to learn to cut hair, including online via the use of tutorials and videos. Alternatively, learn in-person by attending a designated training course, such as those offered by Toni & Guy at its 23 hairdressing academies as of 2015.

To learn how to cut hair, it is important to have the right equipment, such as a pair of specialist hairdressing scissors, grips to hold the hair in place, a bottle with a spray nozzle for dampening the hair, and a range of combs and brushes. Observing the types of equipment used by professionals and how they put them into action may be a useful first step in preparing to learn how to cut hair.
