Sharpen Your Skills: Hands-On Cutting Classes with Monique

By Monique, Owner & Lead Stylist at Mac V.S.D.C. Salon, Bowie MD

If you’ve ever watched a flawless haircut come to life and thought, “I need to learn how to do that,” you’re in the right place. I'm Monique, owner of Mac V.S.D.C. Salon, and I'm opening the doors to my creative world with a cutting class exclusively for licensed cosmetologists and barbers who are ready to level up their craft.

Why This Class Matters

With nearly three decades behind the chair, I’ve mastered techniques that not only make a statement, but keep clients coming back. These are the same precision methods I’ve used to build a thriving salon, and I’m here to share them in a setting that’s professional, hands-on, and rooted in real results. This isn’t just a demo. You’ll be cutting, styling, learning, and growing with your tools in hand and your creativity on full display.

What You’ll Learn: The Core 4

1. Blunt Cut & Style. Learn how to execute a clean, polished blunt cut that makes a bold impression. We’ll focus on sectioning, tension control, and styling techniques that elevate a simple cut into a sleek masterpiece.

2. 90-Degree Layered Cut & Style. Master the art of movement and dimension with a classic 90-degree layered technique. This cut adds volume, shape, and fluidity perfect for a wide range of hair textures and client lifestyles.

3. A-Line Bob (Shears & Razor Combo). Discover the secret behind a beautifully balanced A-Line bob, using the notching technique with your shears. You’ll learn how to blend sharp angles with gentle flow for a look that’s fashion-forward and timeless.

4. Creative Short Style with Clipper Cut (Back Focus). Take your short hair game to the next level with this edgy, structured style. You’ll learn how to use clippers to shape the back while designing a flattering silhouette up top, perfect for clients craving something bold and modern.
