Is there an Icon course I should take first?
If you have experience with curly cutting, you can select the shape you’d like to refine and elevate. However, if you're new to curl cutting, Da Logo is an excellent starting point. It's the most versatile of all the icons, providing a strong foundation that applies to a variety of curl types and styles.
