Jay Mahmood entered Vidal Sassoon in London as an apprentice at 16, then moved into the Sassoon Academy education team early, building the kind of discipline that makes clean shapes look effortless. That educator's wiring never left — his work leans hard into structure, sectioning, control, and the tiny details that decide whether a cut grows out like a dream or turns into a weekly fix. Based around the SF Bay Area through Advanced Academy while teaching internationally, his offerings span hands-on classes, educator development, and expanded online access to his classes and teacher training.
