Corinna Hernandez is a cut specialist and educator who helps hairdressers build the kind of confidence you can feel in the mirror—steady hands, clean sections, and the freedom to create without overthinking. Based in Oakland, she’s known for razor-driven technique, sharp foundations, and styling that borrows its attitude from editorial work—polished, intentional, and alive.

Her path is built on reps: an intensive apprenticeship under former Sassoon Academy educator Rowena Hiraga, followed by years inside Bumble and bumble’s education world—teaching, traveling, and sharpening the “why” behind every move. From that road-tested experience, she founded Pony Education in 2014, creating hands-on workshops and a learning ecosystem designed for real growth: live models, real salon settings, and a brand-agnostic approach that puts craft first.

If you’re ready to refine your cutting eye, get braver with the razor, and leave class with tools you can use immediately behind the chair, Corinna’s world is an open door.
