01_a highly specific one-on-one cutting program engineered for freelance artists_
the daniel mostyn lab offers an intensive one-on-one cutting program for freelance artists who want to refine identity, elevate discipline, and evolve into intentional, high-level cutters.
using the form → formula → finish system, we dismantle how you think, cut, style, and present your work — rebuilding a technical and creative framework that aligns with the artist you are and the artist you want to become.
through a deep individual consult, followed by a full day one-on-one in our sydney lab or at your salon location, we decode your artistic dna: the shapes you’re drawn to, the textures you favour, and the visual language you want your work to communicate. from there, your session is engineered around targeted forms, techniques, and disciplines drawn from my 26 years of cutting — contemporary, exacting, adaptable, and designed for real world application.
this is not generic cutting mentoring. this is identity construction — sharpening your eye, strengthening your hands, and building a cutter’s discipline that becomes your foundation.
we don’t guide artists. we engineer them.

02_freelance artist education engineered around who you are and the type of cutter and artist you want to become_
one-on-one sessions shaped to your identity, your goals, your growth.
together, these three steps form a complete system — a deeply personal pathway that takes you from analysing your artistic dna, to refining your technique, to building a cutting discipline that strengthens the way you think, cut, and create. this isn’t just learning haircuts; it’s learning about yourself as a purpose driven artist — working inside a clear framework that aligns form, technique, product behaviour, and finish control with the artist you want to become. this is education with intention — focused, repeatable, and engineered to elevate your craft on every level.
step 1_ your personalised consult_
we begin by breaking down your artistic identity — your goals, your taste, the shapes you’re drawn to, the textures you gravitate toward, and the technical gaps holding you back. from here, we map your strengths and growth areas, creating a blueprint that defines exactly what you need to evolve as a cutter.
step 2_ we design your personalised cutting program_
from your consult, daniel designs your cutting program, tailored to your personal direction — forms that expose your weaknesses, strengthen your foundations, and refine your purpose. each form becomes a building block inside your system: structure, technique, reaction, behaviour. this is where your identity starts to take shape in a disciplined, repeatable way.
step 3_ full day custom workshop in your salon_
a full day immersive education experience where you learn three complete haircut structures — each taught step-by-step through demonstration, hands on refinement, and guided understanding.
this is where the daniel mostyn lab cutting philosophy meets your individuality — reshaping the way you cut, think, and create. these forms become the foundation of your identity for the future.
04_other artists share their custom cutting workshop journey_
from the structure to the energy, the daniel mostyn lab workshops leave a lasting mark. salons across australia describe it as “the most impactful day of training we’ve ever had,” and, “we’ve never experienced this level of customisation with an educator before.”
teams walk away with sharper technique, a stronger creative language, and a renewed fire for cutting.
it means the world when a salon owner entrusts me with the growth of their team.

"Our cutting education session with Daniel was absolutely incredible, everything I’d hoped for and more. My team and I were craving some practical but advanced hair cutting education that we could use straight away on the salon floor and got us excited about hair cutting.
Daniel delivered this and more, our class was customised to suit our salon, team and clientele which made the investment so much more worth it - I’ve never had this level of customisation with an educator before. The session was also a perfect balance of old school practical techniques and fun, modern techniques that we hadn’t seen before. My team were left inspired and eager to get back into the salon the next day, we will definitely be booking a follow up session later in the year!"
03_lets build your dna as a freelance artist & cutter_
we use the daniel mostyn lab system and cutting philosophy as your baseline — giving you three signature forms that become your personal framework for growth. each form strengthens how you think, how you see shape, and how you control behaviour inside the cut. this is where your identity sharpens: structure, discipline, intuition, creativity — all wired into one system.
we shift your approach from rigid technique to intuitive, adaptable cutting. through hands on refinement and deeper understanding of shape, you build stronger fundamentals, creative confidence, and a real world approach to the art of form. these three forms become the blueprint you return to for the rest of your career — a clear, repeatable foundation for evolving your craft.
