PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Elevation
For control during haircutting the hair is prepared into uniform areas called sections. Each section may be divided into smaller partings called subsections. A part or pasting is the line dividing the hair at the scalp, separating one section of hair from another creating subsections. Elevation is also known as projection or lifting is the angle or degree at which a subsection of hair is held or elevated from the head while cutting. Elevation creates graduation and layers and is usually described in degrees

Guidelines
A guideline, also known as a guide. Is a section of hair that determines the length the hair will be cut. Guidelines are located either at the perimeter, outer line, or the interior of the haircut. The guideline is usually the first section cut when creating a shape. The Two types of guidelines in haircutting are stationary and travelling. A stationary guide does not move, all sections are combed to the same angle and length. They are used to create blunt (one length) haircuts or to create a length or weight increase when using over direction. A travelling guide moves with the haircut as is progresses, they are used to create layers or graduation

Overdirection
Best understood by comparing it to elevation(lifting a section away from the head), overdirection occurs when you move the hair in any other direction other than natural fall position. Overdirection is used mostly to create graduated and layered haircuts, and where you want to create a length increase in the design.

Consultation and Face Shape
A great haircut begins with a great consultation. Finding out what the needs and wants of your client and offering suggestions and professional advice and coming to a joint decision for the most suitable haircut. If a client has a specific idea they want, having the ability to tweak it so it suits the clients face shape. Finding a shape that is going to compliment your clients features. Using balance in your haircut to flatter features such as a prominent nose or chin, or round /narrow face shape.
