This lesson plan outlines instruction for a 90 degree uniform haircut. The plan provides an overview of the classroom theory portion which will include a 20 minute PowerPoint presentation defining haircutting angles, elevations, guidelines and vocabulary. This will be followed by a 15 minute discussion and quiz. In the lab portion, the instructor will demonstrate the haircut technique on a mannequin, then students will have 45 minutes to practice. The objectives are for students to correctly cut a 90 degree uniform layered haircut while following safety guidelines. Upon completion, students should understand haircutting skills and techniques to provide haircuts that meet state standards.

Motivation/Relevant
Haircutting is the single most important skill-set you must master as a professional cosmetologist. Why?
Because a good haircut serves as the foundation of other services offered in the salon. In addition, every
member of the family avails themselves of regular haircuts. Therefore,it is a tremendous source of revenue and
promotes client retention.

Introduction (LSI Quadrant II):
Good morning future stylist of the millennium! Thank you for coming together to collaborate in
discovering your creativity. Today’s topic is the 90 degree uniform haircut. Have you ever
wanted to soften a one length hair cut with layers and you did not where to start? Today you will
gain the concepts, tools, and techniques for precisely cutting this popular style. Raise your hand
if you have your shears. Fantastic! We will be practicing the palming and correct positioning use
of our tools today. In previous units we covered facial shapes, Hair and Scalp analysis and
Sanitation regulations. Consequently, integrity and trust are two characteristics for building a
clientele and this begins with the client consultation and the obligation of Universal precautions.
May I invite a volunteer to pass out the templates? Notice the template for client records and
the head form page, you will be using the handout for notes and illustrating the 90 degree
haircut. The standards aligning with objectives for this unit are:
 Observe 90 degree uniform Haircut
 Demonstrate 90 haircut on manikin according to TDLR state board standards
 Implement sanitation and safety
 Define angles, elevations and guidelines
 Explain and recognize the tools of haircutting.
In this 20 minute illustrated presentation, please refer to your references it includes haircutting
sequences and vocabulary terms defining haircutting theory. After the presentation we will have
a 15 minute discussion and brainstorming session by direct questions for the review of
vocabulary terms, followed by a short quiz on haircutting theory. Following classroom theory, I
will provide a technical demonstration on a manikin and stylist will have the opportunity for
independent practice of the haircut

Summary:
Today proceeds one of the four haircutting demonstrations that you will perform in your final exam and
at state board. Continue to practice the mastery of skills and the sequences in your chart guides. The
Haircutting Design Theory covering Geometry is a foundation precursor for the mastery of your
haircutting skills. One asset to this course study is hybrid learning and collaboration through media. A
link to the technical presentation is available for reviewin your handout. (Audio/Visual) /Learning
styles.
Upload media to your portfolios this is an opportunity for peer review and self-improvement. In the
future, you will give back to your industry by practicing professional ethics, safety and sanitary
guidelines. Now that we have reviewed haircutting terms, we will use this time for brainstorming over the
main points. I will pass a hat around with questions and we will take turns reading and answering the
questions together.
