About ESSENTIALS COMMUNITY
Members get more than 50 hours of haircutting tutorials, a full branding blueprint and weekly live coaching with hot seats and feedback.[1] Annual members also receive two bonus modules, The Precision Cutter Blueprint and How to Raise Prices the RIGHT Way.[1]
Learn To Cut, the wider brand, teaches what it calls a precision-based system for modern haircuts alongside building a personal brand.[3] Its curriculum rests on four pillars: mindset, technique, the chair and identity.[3] Besides on-demand video and live feedback sessions, it runs in-person workshops, including a programme called Build Without Limits, with direct instruction from Alexi Michael.[3] The site names Skool and Discord as the programme's home and also sells barbering tools and apparel.[3]
