This class will teach and refresh your ability to perform quick and accurate roller set on wigs or humans. We will go over the direction placement of rollers, barrel curls, and pin curls sets. You will watch demos of different roller placement and direction and have time to practice on mannequins under the supervision of the two instructors who can offer advice and guidance. By the end of class, we hope you will have the confidence to use the skills to create your own roller set patterns

With a strong background in both fine arts and wardrobe, he landed one job after another with the national touring companies of plays like West Side Story, Anything Goes, It’s A Wonderful Life, and many others.
John became a hairdresser and eventually a Senior National Educator for John Paul Mitchell Systems. A few years later, he received a call back to the theater, where his combined hairdressing and wardrobe skills made him more in demand than ever. “The more marketable you make yourself, the more employable you will be,” he says.
