(latest NCVER data)Barber shops and salons depend on staff who have completed SHBHCUT005 Cut hair using over-comb techniques to produce smooth tapers, blended perimeters and clean necklines using scissors, clippers and a comb. This unit lets RTOs strengthen barbering and hairdressing qualifications with tapered cutting skills, using SHBHCUT005 training resources that cover both scissor-over-comb and clipper-over-comb work.
Learners develop skills in consulting with clients, analysing hair and facial characteristics, using continuous scissor-over-comb and fluid clipper-over-comb actions, blending interior and exterior lengths, using clipper attachments, outlining around ears and sideburns and creating neckline shapes.
Choose our SHBHCUT005 RTO training materials to support tapered cutting without developing technique resources internally. Purchase RTO materials and give trainers SHBHCUT005 training materials that suit barbering practice.
Designed for practical barbering delivery, the SHBHCUT005 training materials provide a prepared foundation for cutting hair with over-comb techniques. Purchase RTO materials and start with SHBHCUT005 learning materials your trainers can contextualise.
