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.
