Ryan Teal

Ryan Teal didn't grow up dreaming of hair — he played football, worked roofing, and got pulled into the industry through his wife, and that earned-it-the-hard-way energy still shows up in how he teaches: direct, practical, and obsessed with making technique make sense in real salon hours. He's known for breaking complex shapes into memorable language, like mapping a layered haircut into 'basement,' 'main floor,' and 'roof,' so stylists can see the structure instead of guessing. A NAHA-winning artist with deep stage and session experience, he now brings Advanced Cutting Education into salons and schools built for pros who want cleaner lines and better consistency.
