International Precision Cutting Championships Judge, Travis Parker
What does precision haircutting mean to you?
I seem to find more words then sentences when I define "precision haircutting": discipline, practice, refinement, details, details within those details, body positioning in relation to cut line, mapping, sectioning....
Why is the International Precision Cutting Championship so important in today's Professional Beauty environment?
I'm a firm believer in challenging oneself, pushing your own limits, finding out what's really possible. This completion will stage, and host the opportunity for so many of you, to do just that!
Do you remember when you first attempted a precision haircut? Tell us all about it!
It was pretty terrible, actually. I was 16, in cosmetology school, and my challenge was to cut a one length bob. My client wanted the length cut to her jawline. Well, let's just say it ended up at her cheekbone, if not shorter. Oops. I just couldn't seem to get those sides even, and I just kept trying, and trying until it was at finally left uneven at her cheekbones. Yeahhhhh.... Lol
