The Beatles Style is a men’s haircut based on a rounded shape, which deliberately breaks away from the ubiquitous square cut in barbering. The course demonstrates how to create a light, alternative style with longer sides and a natural finish—perfect for clients seeking a relaxed yet thoughtful everyday hairstyle inspired by classic rock ’n’ roll.

Michał Lewiński guides you through the entire process of creating a round shape, starting with a precise division into sections with a triangle at the top. He demonstrates how to cut section by section to the shape of the head, without redirecting the hair, to achieve a cohesive and soft line. A key element is working with the memory strand and blending sections in a way that preserves length along the contour, and the whole look is finished with a Chinese razor for lightness and texture.

In this course, you'll learn:

  • Consciously shaping the form into a circle as an alternative to the square shapes that dominate men's hairstyling
  • Precise sectioning with a delta at the top – how organization at the start translates to a clean finish
  • A cutting technique that follows the shape of the head without redirecting the hair, ensuring soft and seamless transitions
  • Using a Chinese knife to relieve pressure on the back of the mold and customize the outer contour using both wet and dry techniques
  • Leaving longer sections around the temples and at the bangs on purpose to serve as a base for a creative hairstyle
  • A complete styling guide for straight hair using a cream and a diffuser to add movement and controlled texture

After this course, you’ll be able to work with a round clipper with confidence, offering clients an alternative to standard, boxy cuts. You’ll learn how to create light, natural-looking hairstyles that allow for plenty of flexibility in everyday styling, and using a Chinese clipper will become your tool for creating unique, personalized texture.
