Experiences
Real students. Real journeys.
When I started I already had a feel for make-up, but I often doubted whether I was doing it technically right. Through the JDO Method I began to understand much better why something does or doesn't work on a face. I now work with far more confidence and really dare to make my own choices.
I already worked with hair, but I noticed I kept falling back on the same techniques and styles. During the Hairstyling Class I learned to look at shape, balance and finish differently. I now have many more possibilities and, above all, much more confidence in my own creativity.
What surprised me most was that it wasn't only about learning a new technique. I went home with new ideas, a different way of seeing and, above all, a real desire to create again. It genuinely pulled me out of my daily routine.
