The Cut It Kinky Alumni Directory
The following stylists have all completed education with Cut It Kinky, our professional education company. Prior to March 2020 Alumni attended live intensive workshops with us to hone their skill and comprehension of tight curls. After March 2020 Alumni have become annual members of the Cut It Kinky Digital Mastermind and passed a thorough portfolio review proving their grasp of the curls and the culture.
Cut It Kinky as of July 2021, does not have a certification.
We have provided this list for your convenience. It is now up to you to do your due diligence in figuring out if the professionals that you are evaluating will meet your needs. If there is something you would like to communicate about a professional on this list please contact them directly through their preferred channels.
