We are still talking about all the knowledge that we received from our recent class with Maryelle Koken @kokentheharlot with @sebastianpro_official with the extensive knowledge that was shared with us for razor cutting techniques and correct use of Sebastian professional hair products…It gives us a better understanding for how to achieve more textured haircuts. Maryelle made us empowered to feel like we can achieve adding these techniques into our haircuts. It is wonderful to learn from someone that has a great way to teach and can make us laugh at the same time. Maryelle is a celebrity hairstylist, and a Sebastian professional global ambassador.
here are just a sample of all the wonderful pictures @sean.theshark took for graduation International Institute of Cosmetology 2025. There are so many more pictures that are on the link https://bit.ly/iicgrad2025 ✨
We’re so grateful to have a class led by the renowned @sebastianpro_official ambassador & celebrity stylist Maryelle Koken @kokentheharlot ✂️✨ Here are some action shots showing off creative ways to elevate razor cutting! 💨 It’s always inspiring to learn from someone with such passion and artistry for their craft. 💫
