Love it or hate it there is no other men's technical haircut like the flat top that has stood the test of time. This course breaks down elements that will allow you to confidently deliver this cut again and again, not matter what the head shape or hair type. The success of this haircut relies upon the preparation of the hair prior to cutting. Like no other style the flat top needs to be

haircut. The back & sides can be
adapted to meet the client’s requirements.
