Concave Layers, Personalized

In the back, we personalize our Concave Layering—customizing the inversion from short to long.

What Stylists are Saying

Dominic Serna

Hairstylist & Influencer

Travis is a genius with cutting hair. Not only is the way he cuts hair effortless and modern, he also makes it fun and easy with no judgement. I would recommend anyone to try it. I’ve been doing hair for 14 years, and man, did it help me. Thanks again Travis!

Olivia Biundo

Hairstylist

I’m so lucky to have learned from the best. Taking the certification "live online" made it so easy to learn from anywhere, and the support from Travis and the community was amazing. I left feeling confident that I could cut anyone who sits in my chair.

Janessa Daniels

Hairstylist & Instructor

The CC1 eCourse solidified so much for me—reference points, layering techniques, and the terminology. It’s beautifully laid out, user-friendly, and somehow felt like an in-person class. The mix of visuals, storytelling, and notes throughout is unreal.

Jamie Dana

Hairstylist & Influencer

I’ve always felt uncomfortable cutting hair. After completing the courses, I walked away feeling confident and actually considering myself a true hair cutter. It changed the way I approach every cut, and I’m finally comfortable behind the chair.

Judith Viola

Hairstylist

I’m so grateful for my time at HME—it felt more like a retreat than just advanced education. With a simple approach to shapes we all know and love, I find myself revisiting the program daily. Hairstylists leave HME with a refreshed perspective on their time BTC.

Andrew Carruthers

Hairstylist & Education

The academy hits all the marks for my high expectations of education. The content is thoughtful and approachable, the environment is inspiring, and the educators are always focused on the needs of their students.

Sara Vincent

Hairstylist

I had no idea this course would be so beneficial. I'm so used to courses that leave the best details a mystery...Not this one. Travis is so detailed it doesn't even feel like an online course. I feel inspired again in my career and cannot wait to continue with the next cuts!

China Wilson

Hairstylist

Hairdressing Made Easy provides a roadmap for creating everything from classic to trendy looks. As you progress through the courses, your skills build, boosting your confidence. Most importantly, you gain a mentor in Travis, who feels like a new friend.

Julius Cvesar

Hairstylist & Influencer

HME has been so enjoyable, especially coming from a barber’s perspective. I’ve learned women’s cutting techniques and applied them to men’s hair. Hair is hair—it’s about stepping outside the box, learning new things, and applying them in the right way!
