Learn to create a variation on a sharp short bob by framing the sides with a sloping fringe and long bangs with shears; deposit color, leaving natural hair color as highlighter with a protective clear color for a soft blend from root to tip; then style for a sleek forward flair or for an elegant evening with loose, creatively shaped curls. And learn how to feather-edge with a razor for a disconnected, funky yet chic style; pop the blonde with panels of shadow with color blocking; and, style for a spontaneous look with scrunching or for a luxurious sleek with sculpted touches created with fibrous gum.

Posted at 3:50 AM • 7 Comments

Many asked for it…. Just as many can’t believe that I can do entire haircuts this way…

For pictures of the finished cut/style go to:

Well, here is a clip from a botched instructional video I shot a few years back…

I am in contract with Dennis Bernard Inc. (Power Tools/Smart Solutions) and can be seen on stage at most major hair shows.

Contact information for private/public instruction, hair show dates, Power Tools and Smart Solutions Color Hold wet line:

I have:

solved hair cutting forever with my UNIFIED THEORY OF HAIRCUTTING

solved Hair Color Weaving with my $10,000 FOIL TECHNIQUE

and discovered ‘I.T.’, which is The SCIENCE OF BODY MODIFICATION…

Once you learn ‘I.T.’, you will be able to custom design your own hair styles and colors, warddrobe, even make-up to fit your face, body shape, skin texture and tone…

This is NO pipe dream… This is NOT a new gimmick…

This is the irrefutable SCIENCE OF BODY MODIFICATION…

Before you go to the plastic surgeon, the hair stylist, or even clothes shopping, you NEED to know ‘I.T.’, so you know the science of how to make you appear the way you want.

I am currently working at Essentials Day Spa and salon in Vancouver Washingtion – 360.256.8772

How To Create A Dramatic Eye For Ev...

Posted at 1:32 AM • 5 Comments

You’re not really dressed to go out on the town until your make up is just right. Professional makeup artist Vinnetta Scrivo demonstrates how to create a sophisticated, dramatic evening look for your eyes. You’ll look glamorous, but not over-made up if you follow Vinetta’s advice.

1. Using your eye base apply all over your eyelids.
2. Apply eye shadow to your eyelid starting in the center and moving in the C-shape of your eyelid. (Intensify the color by applying another coat.)
3. Use your finger to blend the eye shadow in.
4. Once again use your scissors to carefully trim any hair that is too long.
5. Apply your eyeliner starting in the center of your eye lid and draw very short lines that you can connect together.
6. On the outside corner of your eyes, extend the eyeliner, just a bit, creating a cat-eye effect.
7. Apply the eyeliner from the inside corner of the eye to the center by lifting the skin of the eye area and expose the little ledge in the corner of the eye.
8. Use your eyelash curler to curl your lashes, pumping the lash curler for added effect.
9. Apply your lash conditioner/plumper to the top and bottom of your eyelashes.
10. Apply mascara to the root of the eyelash using a wiggling motion outward for best application. (Go in the direction the eye lashes grow.)
11. Use an eye shadow brush and place a small amount of mascara on the brush and apply to the top of the eyelash allowing you to get to the root. This helps remove lumps and creates a more natural look.

What You’ll Need :

Eye base (similar to skin tone)

Eye shadow

Eyeliner (liquid or gel)

Eyelash curler

Lash conditioner/plumper

Mascara

Real Edward ScissorHands? Cutting W...

Posted at 11:24 PM • 5 Comments

This is amateur video from a camera phone taken of me, Curtis Foster (curtisgfoster@aol.com), in Biloxi Mississippi, (before Katrina) cutting and sculpting hair with my eyes closed. I am an international educator and platform artist and the face of Dennis Bernard Inc. (dennisbernard.com). Dennis Bernard is the genius and inventor of TCA (The Color Accelerator, process hair tint in less than 10 minutes, virtually eliminate fadage, and super condition the hair), PowerTools (one-of-a-kind tools that help the stylist work smart instead of hard – e.g., STB Stop the Burn, drops that when added to tint, stop the itching and burning while processing) and Smart Solutions hair care line that uses natural plant botanical proteins to lock color in the hair.
In this clip, I am using my 3-shears-in-one, PowerTools Progressive Shear which is a one-of-a kind shear and my original design. It is the most perfectly, ergonomically correct scissor yet made. In this clip, I am using category #4 of my Unified Theory of Hair Cutting.
I have solved the riddle of hair cutting when I discovered and recognized that ANY and ALL ways the hair may be cut, clipped, razored, thinned, burned, etc., can ONLY exist into 4 universal, all-encompassing categories.
No one in the world cuts hair like me.
For you hairstylists out there, I am doing razor cuts on dry hair with my PowerTools Progressive thinning shears; basically, a scissor-over-comb, just NO comb.
Cutting wet hair from the bottom up? I sculpt dry hair from the top down.
I also have a relationship advice column.
