About

UnderStrand is creative education for hair professionals looking to think beyond.

At Understrand, we deliver creative courses that help you push your boundaries and tap into ideas that are truly your own.

Creativity isn’t a gift. It’s a skill. And like any skill, you can train it.

Most hair education teaches you how. We teach you what if.

What a great experience! It was more than just a training session. The energy, the knowledge and the way he shared his approach to barbering really inspired us.

Definitely one to remember.

Tom is a brilliant barber educator. I learned techniques I’d always wanted to learn and it was a total game changer. He explains not just how to approach a haircut, but the knowledge behind it. This man is a genius. Highly recommend a hands-on class with Tom and his team 🔥

My experience with Tom has always been incredible, the energy and passion for his work that he brings is motivating. He makes everything easy to understand while sharing valuable techniques and pratical advice to everyone

Even tho the training was just 2 hours we touched some strong points with Tom’s help. He expanded the way we look at the models and when we do our photoshoot. He showed us what creativity looks with no boundaries, he opened another eye for us. Definitely looking forward for another masterclass.

Since learning your approach, I’ve finally been able to create complete haircuts with better flow and harmony, something I struggled with before. It will always be a pleasure to learn from you!

Creativity starts with an idea. But where do ideas come from, and how do you make them your own?

This course moves beyond the traditional boundaries of hair professionals. It shows you how to find inspiration in architecture, fashion, art, music and everyday life, and how to turn it into shape, texture and form.

The day includes

  • Creative discussion on finding and developing ideas
  • Live hair demonstrations, from concept to finished result
  • An afternoon hands-on session to experiment with your own ideas

Learning a new method to find inspiration and translate it into hair in your own personal way.
