About the course
The Mod Wolf Cut is a men's haircut that sits between two styles, ideal for a client who's growing out their hair and needs a transitional shape. The shorter version works as a mod, the longer one as a full wolf cut. This course shows you how to completely rebuild the internal structure and weight distribution of the haircut without changing its outer shape, keeping full length at the nape and sideburns.
Marek Krzyminski walks you through a process built around one key technique - layers cut at a high elevation (around 120 degrees). You'll see how vertical sections meet at a shared center point perpendicular to the curve of the head, creating a round, sleek silhouette instead of unwanted width. The course also explains how to work with hair after a perm, and how to use fringe disconnection as an intentional tool for building density around the temples.
In this course, you'll see
- Layering at roughly 120-degree elevation - the key technique for reducing weight from the crown and top while keeping full length at the bottom
- How to guide vertical sections so they meet at a shared center point perpendicular to the curve of the head, creating a round silhouette rather than a wide one
- Intentional fringe disconnection - why it isn't blended with the sides, and how this helps maintain density and width in the temple area
- Analyzing hair after a perm - how to assess where the curl is still active and where the hair has returned to its straight structure, and how this affects length decisions
- The technique of combing the last temple sections toward a point above the ear, to elongate the shape toward the face and preserve length at the cheekbone
- Full diffuser styling: curl cream on wet hair, drying on the lowest airflow and highest heat setting, plus a powder finish for hold
After watching this course, you'll be able to offer clients more than just a trim - you'll learn how to give a haircut a "lift" by thinning out key zones and giving the hairstyle a new shape without losing precious inches at the nape and sideburns. It's the perfect tool for working with a client who's in the process of growing out their hair and needs professional shape management at every stage.

Before you start
This course assumes you already have:
What's inside
Full access with the course
0:2801Analyzing hair after a perm
I'll have to be really careful not to get caught out cutting too much hair off.
5:0502High-elevation cutting at the back
I'm working at an angle of about one hundred and twenty degrees. That gives me the layering technique.
9:0503Cutting philosophy - paying for the result
The client pays us for the haircut, not for the amount of hair that falls on the floor.
15:3104Combing the temples back
This slightly elongates the shape toward the temple.
17:2505Working ergonomics on the left side
I turn the chair slightly at an angle toward the mirror. That lets me get in much closer here.
21:5206Technique for 90-degree elevation
It's easier to achieve a ninety-degree angle by combing the hair up from underneath.
30:0307Disconnection - separating out the fringe section
I need to separate out the fringe so I don't lose what builds its width.
36:1808Educating the client during styling
Remember, there's hair at the back too. The nape needs product as well.
