What does it mean to have a signature haircut?
Each individual has their very own handwriting signature that nobody else can ever copy. We use our handwriting signature affixed in all important documents and contracts like birth certificates, checkbooks, identification cards, school records, and even receipts. It is our own way of putting our ‘mark’ on these documents that is solely unique for each individual. Have you ever wondered why salons nowadays use the term ‘signature haircut’ in their service menu? How come having a haircut with these ‘signature’ hairstylists would cost you more than your traditional hair cutter, ranging from more than 600 hundred pesos to a few thousand pesos compared to a conventional 50-peso haircut? And finally, what does it really mean to have a ‘signature’ haircut?
Cutting hair is a skill; hence it can be learned.
When an apprentice hairdresser starts to learn how to cut hair, basic skills and competency standards are given to lay down the foundation of basic haircuts, which eventually lead to mastering a limitless number of hairstyles. So does this mean that when anyone who has undergone proper training can call himself a signature haircutter? No, it doesn’t mean that when you know the “A,B,C’s" automatically follows that you could already write a sentence, let alone spell a word. The same is true with haircutting; it requires years of experience, thousands of models and long hours of practice before a haircutter could truly express himself and portray his art thru his creations.
Though each student may be using the same tools and techniques in cutting a particular haircut, each haircut would always turn out different from one another, however subtle it may be. This is more evident while implementing texturizing and finishing touches done on the haircut wherein each individual's ‘personality,’ and finesse really shows. Certain parameters in creating the shape and form of a haircut depend on many variables despite our efforts on standardizing and simplifying benchmarks in cutting hair. It is in these variables that each haircutter differs from one another.
At Vibrante Salons, we equip each of our staff with rigid training and theory coupled with practical application and lots of practice. We perfect our craft and create our own ‘signature’ of haircutting which is unique. A signature haircut that cannot be duplicated.
