Facial Hair Skills Course
It was the Egyptians that began shaving, not just their facial Hair but heads too. This in turn was adopted by the Greeks and Romans. Soon these shaven societies began to look down on the unshaven barbarian, meaning un- barbered.
Throughout the years times and styles change, from having facial hair to not; from “mutton chops to the Spivs pencil moustache.” Occasionally, the student assumes he knows the period but follows films and not the actual period.
Module Skills
- Beards’ Shapes & Sizes
- Different adhesives and when to use them
- Laying on facial hair
- Dressing facial hair
- Tonging
- Blocking
Testimonials
After working on Exodus I can safely say that I have glued enough beards and laid on enough hair to last me a lifetime! It was great having Nik Buck teach us. She taught us that patience and reference are both very important.
