For salon owners

Train your entire team in modern short haircutting.

You can't afford a full-time in-house educator, and every short-hair client your team turns away books with the salon down the street.

Give your stylists the skills, confidence, and inspiration to create beautiful, modern short haircuts that keep clients coming back.

Whether you're looking for ongoing virtual education through the BOB University app or a hands-on experience with one- or two-day in-person training led by Ray, we have flexible options designed to fit your salon's needs, schedule, and goals.

The curriculum

What Your Team Will Learn

Bobs are our namesake; but your team will learn modern pixies to long layers, and everything in between.

Pixies and bobs are the lengths that most hairstylists dread. A bob is one clean line with nowhere to hide, and a pixie shows every choice you made. So that's what we built the curriculum around — and then we keep going. The same sectioning and reading carry straight into long layers, shags, bixies, and every length in between. Modules run in order, each one building on the last, so every stylist on your floor works through the same sequence and gets comfortable at any length a client walks in asking for.

  1. Module01
    The Basics

    The foundation every other module stands on: sectioning, round and triangular graduation, wet vs. dry technique, scissor and brush selection, body positioning, and reading each client before a single pass of the shears.

  2. Module02
    Core Sectioning

    Breaking any haircut down into its core sections — then applying that same read to a bob, square layers, a pixie, and a lob.

  3. Module03
    The Perfect Bob

    Ray's method for a bob that comes out right every time — one repeatable sectioning and build sequence, then the variations that keep it creative.

  4. Module04
    Pixies and Bixies

    Pixies and bixies in full: the 90-degree pixie, a shaggy pixie, a short pixie on wavy hair, a bixie with undercut, and the '90s boy bob.

  5. Module05
    Shags and Midlength Layers

    Shags and midlength layers — a square perimeter, concave and convex layering, then full builds: a boho shag and an edgy '70s shag.

  6. Module06
    Long Layers

    Long layers on every canvas — fine, low-density hair, super long layers, and long curly layers, each closed out with a recap to lock in the technique.

  7. Module07
    Many Ways to Cut a Bob

    A three-part master class, then the applications: shaggy bob, pixie bob, shaggy lob, grunge bob, natural wavy, blunt with layers, curtain face frame, and very curly hair.

  8. Module08
    Flawless Bangs

    Bangs from the first consideration to the finished result — a full curtain bang, razor-cut bangs, a textured blunt bang, and a side-swept bang, plus three worked examples.

  9. Module09
    Understanding the Undercut

    A three-part series on the undercut — what it is, how to build one cleanly, and how to keep it looking intentional.

  10. Module10
    Photography for Stylists

    Shooting your own work — what the camera numbers mean, three shooting sessions each followed by the edit, rescuing an underexposed image, then composition and posing a live model.

  11. Bonus
    The Vault

    Replays of Ray's live masterclasses. A few examples of what's in there:

    • Winona Ryder '90s bob
    • Core sectioning pixie cut
    • Shape shifter bob
    • The French bob
    • Round graduation
    • Concave and convex layers
    • The perfect pixie
    • The shag
    • The bixie
    • Charlize Theron inspired bob
    • Ryan Gosling inspired cut and style, with color placement tips

    The Vault grows every month — every live class from each month is stored here.

Plus twice-monthly live virtual classes and the growing workshop vault.
