LEARN TO CUT x ĒDUCŌ presents

ALEXI MICHAEL

three-day mastermind

San Jose, November 7th to 9th,

we bring one of the best for his

Bay Area residency inside ĒDUCŌ

Some educators teach technical cutting philosophies. Alexi Michael teaches how to build a career around one. He returns to Northern California for three days inside ĒDUCŌ Academy, and this time the room is smaller and the access is closer than anything we've hosted before.

We didn't bring him back for another seminar. We built this as a multi-dimensional mastermind: a showcase, an evening to create with our community, a hands-on workshop, a brand/business masterclass, and a space for a chosen few to push the industry forward alongside purveyours of the culture. All programed in sequence with the intention to level up.

A room full of barbers learning together is one of the most powerful things this industry has, and for three days, that room is ours.

This is for the artist who has strives to optimize their technical foundation and wants the proximity that actually changes their trajectory. Direct mentorship. Real conversations about the business behind the chair. The kind of access that doesn't come around twice a year.

Space is intentionally limited. Day three is capped, because the value of this experience lives within who's in the room, not how many.

Alexi Michael, back in California, three-days only… three types of experiences for barbers at any level. Lock in to the one that resonates, this mastermind was designed with your growth in mind!

Why we brought him back

Some artists teach a technique. Alexi Michael teaches how to build a career around one.

We didn't bring him back to California for another seminar. We built this as a mastermind: the stage, the chair, and the business behind both, taught in sequence so nothing gets left as theory. A room full of barbers learning together is one of the most powerful things this industry has, and for three days, that room is ours.

This is for the artist who has the technical foundation and wants the proximity that actually changes a trajectory. Direct mentorship. Real conversations about the business behind the chair. The kind of access that doesn't come around twice a year.

Space is intentionally limited. Day three is capped, because the value of a mastermind lives in who's in the room, not how many.

The educator

Alexi Michael, Learn To Cut.

Alexi Michael is the founder of Learn To Cut, a global education platform built on precision cutting and the business behind it. He has taught rooms of barbers around the world, from Milan and London to Toronto, San Francisco, and San Jose, and this November he brings the full platform to our academy floor.

We built ĒDUCŌ on the belief that the craft moves forward when knowledge is shared openly. Learn To Cut is built on the same one. Three days, one room, and everything on the table.
