Blunt Cut (One-Length)

Master precise blunt cutting on long hair. This course teaches hairdressers how to create a perfectly straight, heavy line through mapping, stationary guide work, and body positioning.

About the course

The blunt cut is a fundamental test of precision and symmetry, one that reveals the cleanliness of your sectioning and the control of your hand. This course shows you how to build a perfectly even, heavy line on long, straight hair - one that looks healthy and well-groomed, without falling back on layering. It's a technique that turns a seemingly simple cut into a deliberate process of building a clean, commercial shape.

Kamil Cesarski guides you through the entire process step by step: from mapping the head into five key sections, through establishing the first partition as an untouchable stationary guide, to checking the line while wet and the final dry finish. You'll see how body positioning - including working from a stool - directly affects the cleanliness of the line, and how minimal strand tension is key to avoiding mistakes as the hair naturally falls.

In this course you'll see

  • Full head mapping into five sections - horseshoe, sides, and back - as the foundation of order and control over the cut.
  • Working with intention on body positioning and the stool, so you're always perfectly positioned opposite the section you're cutting to maintain symmetry.
  • Establishing the first partition as an untouchable stationary guide that defines the entire length of the haircut.
  • The rule of leaving each subsequent partition 2-3 mm longer to create a perfectly straight line once dry, compensating for the natural rise of the hair.
  • The "backward scissor movement" technique, which prevents pushing the hair and guarantees a perfectly clean cut with no "jagged edges."
  • Why cutting long hair with clippers is a mistake, and how scissors protect the hair structure from splitting.
  • Checking the line while wet and giving it a final dry refinement to achieve a perfect, repeatable result.

After this course, you'll start treating the blunt cut not as a simple service, but as a craftsman's display of control and precision. You'll gain confidence working with long hair and learn to build a perfectly clean, heavy line - the foundation of a healthy-looking, commercially successful haircut.
