Nikita Smith’s Aristocuts Cutting Class at the International Salon and Spa Expo, in Long Beach, CA

Here it is! Those who attended the Sunday morning Bonika Shears sponsored class taught by Nikita Smith of Chicago requested the schematics of her cut.

After showing the finished cut on a mannequin, Nikki walked us through the construction and techniques of the style showing the exact sectioning and lengths. So many asked for the photos of the class displays I have uploaded them to my blog with a link to the website.

Nikita talked about the three cutting personalities developed by Bonnie Megowan. She explained the Gorilla, Eagle and Lion. Nikita is a Lion. And there were several Lions and Eagles in the class with a couple of Gorillas.

Her shear of choice was the new 2010 Bonika Shear of the year, the new Tribal Shear designed by Jay Hunter. She further texturized with the 5 tooth Bonika Chunker, the Bonika Silver Sword razor, the Bonika Fishbone shear and some of the curved shears. The finished cut looked identical to the original, although they were different mannequins.

Thanks to Nikita, our Bonika Shears booth sold all the Tribal shears that we brought and had record sales for the Long Beach ISSE show. (See all the photos from the ISSE show on Facebook)
