I am a HUGE fan of Nick and the way he teaches. I've learned more from him than during my six months at Paul Mitchell and my week at Vidal Sassoon combined. And for a FRACTION of what that cost me.

I am so thankful to you Nick for providing online education to hairstylists. Your courses have changed my life. My haircuts look a million times better. Nick, you are the best educator I have had and I have had many. You explain every haircut with great detail and you make it so easy to understand.

I could not figure out for the life of me why my haircuts looked so bulky on the sides and flat at the round of the head and your box layering techniques was the missing key all these years. WOW!!! For the first time today my long time client looked in the mirror with such delight as if I had cut her hair for the first time. I felt empowered. I feel smarter and more confident. I can never thank you enough. I owe homage to you!

I am so very grateful for this site and the videos. I can already notice the difference it makes with my cuts in the salon. I guess it was in me all along, I just needed someone like nick to explain it. Thanks for the great site!

As a new comer in this industry I have been struggling to find a "Mentor". I have been jumping from salon to salon in frustration because no one would take the time to teach me the fundamentals. I am blessed to have found you, you don't know how much you mean not only to me but a lot of new comers in this industry who love doing hair and are very passionate about this industry but lack the support we need. Keep inspiring us!!!!

Leslie M. of Arizona
Hi Nick. I just want to say that I am so pleased with your site! I am AMAZED that you A GIANT IN THE INDUSTRY takes the time to answer all of our questions and you are just an amazing educator. I just need to let you know. What I like so much is that you are accessable and you demystify our craft. I find that I do have talent and promise but am often simply stifled by fear and lack confidence because I am afraid of making mistakes. You remain lighthearted and encourage us to have fun and go for it, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. WE LOVE WHAT YOU ARE DOING...

Nick, I've been a member for approx 1 month and just wanted to let you know that I'm learning a great deal from your haircutting video's. My confidence as well as my ability to think "outside the box" when approaching a cut is dramatically improving. Thanks for a great site!

Kelly T. of British Columbia
Thank you for this great educational site Nick. I am just finished hair school and feel like I haven't had the teaching I was looking for. I came across your website and have become a member only a few days ago. I have learned more in your education videos, forum, basically your whole web site. It was so nice to read some of your students comments about starting this wonderful career later in life. I am 46 and finally found my passion.....I sooooooo look forward to learning more on your website.... Thank you so much Nick.

I cant believe it, finally REAL education. I am so in awe. OMG, I came out of cosmo school 100% unemployable -- I am not exaggerating and I am a GOOD employee with a track record. I couldnt even follow a guide. I BEGGED for help in school, I bought hundreds of dollars in videos & mannequins. The videos were more on advanced techniques, which are helpful NOW, but i couldnt get anyone to stand with me and show me the fundamentals that I was screwing up!

20K and I couldn't even do a layered haircut. ONE WEEK on this sight was more than I got in a year & half of school. I knew it wasnt rocket science, I just cant figure out some stuff without having it pointed out -- I mean, THAT IS why they call it school, right? Wouldnt you think that just ONE of the tips nick gives would at least be mentioned at 'school'?

I'm dumbfounded, for just a few measly bucks, I have finally FINALLY gotten the education I needed. OMG, if I could Nick Berardi, I'd hug ya till your head popped off. LOL!

Ok seriously, you changed my whole career and this new Q&A video is the bomb. The other thing I truly appreciate is not having irritating music playing all through the videos, I want to hear Nick talk, I wanna hear anything he has to say that will make me think.

Amelia H. of Georgia
Nick, thank you for nickeducation.com! It has given me clear way to stay focused on what this industry can really do for the soul. Sounds deep but this site is changing my life. I opened Tangerine Dream Salon/Gallery this past spring and have been trying to keep focused on the artistic aspect of precision cutting. This site keeps me focused. You are doing more than you know for people who want to do quality work in an artistic enviroment. Keep it up! All the best!

Robin R. of Illinois
I really wanted to go through Sassoon's school or training, but since I am self supporting, I could not afford to work for minimum wage while I studied with them, even though they told me I wouldn't need the full two years that they require. The precision cutting training that I really wanted seemed just beyond my grasp. When I found Mr. Berardi's site, I about did a little dance I was so excited. For me, it is so motivating to watch and learn from these videos.

Telly K. of Canada
Just wanted to thank you for putting up such a great site. I live in canada and had the opportunity to learn under one of your students, Gerard Scarpaci. I really enjoy how in depth you get in your videos. After 10 years of cutting it's great to hear and see all the little details explained which I have a hard time getting the answers to.

Regina C. of Washington
I really LOVE the style of education that is presented here. This is a bit more informal to the typical Toni & Guy or Vidal Sassoon DVD, but it seems so much more personalized. I feel that the basic composition of the cuts are demonstrated while not losing the personalization the model needed for her hair, as we all experience during each haircut.

Gayle S. of Ohio
I just wanted to get back with you and let you know what a wonderful job you and the rest of the team are doing. Thanks for the awesome work - it is such a joy to see such professionalism these days. Oh - and Nick is wonderful! You didn't hear me say this - but with his wonderful instruction, I'm actually already starting to surpass some of my instructors' skill levels with precision cutting, and am trying to find a way to suggest their subscribing to this site without hurting their feelings. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Older students who are getting ready to graduate are recommending me, and my clients are telling me that their hair has never been cut so nicely, even by our local professional salons! Wow - it truly is a testament to Nick's teaching style and skill that I am picking up so much so quickly!

As one of the better instructors at school always says... "Perfect practice makes perfect. Go a bit slower to learn the skill level and increase speed through skill - not chopping at someone's hair to get them in and out the door (as one of the other instructors suggested - i.e. put the hair up in a ponytail over the head, cut in one chop - bingo - a graduated layered hair cut - not acceptable in my book!) - speed and precision come with time... and perfect practice." Anyway, thanks, thanks, and thanks again! I will always highly recommend this site to anyone and everyone. Best,Gayle

Nick, I've been a student of yours on this site since it's inception. As a result I have grown so much as a hair cutter. My passion for hair cutting and integrity as a stylist has soared. Thank's so much for all the knowledge you impart and the little tips that add up to a lot. You've helped to freshen up my career and give me greater clarity. Bravo, my friend!

Derron Schronce of Colorado
Nick, I wanted to say hello and offer my thanks for all the inspiration and knowledge you have passed on. Having only been in the real salon world for about 5 months, you have jump-started my enthusiasm to be the best cutter I can be. I appreciate the way you break everything down and how you strategically approach every haircut.

Since becoming a member of this site, I have been bringing home mannequins from our salon and practicing cuts and techniques that I have learned from you. I can watch the same video over and over and always pick up on something different and new that I maybe didn't catch before. I'm glad to know that there are other cutters out there who try and cut with as much precision and attention to detail as I try to do. I'm sure you hear it all the time but thanks so much for creating this site and letting us all inside the world of your techniques!

Louis N. of New Jersey
Definitely helping me to be more creative in the salon. It allows you to feed off of creative energy from outside the salon and step out of the box of the salon 24hrs a day. I have been a haircutter for 40yrs and still passionate to learn new techniques. These videos are in more of a seminar format and easy to access key points of the haircut. Most useful tool of modern techology and very affordable. I refer all new stylist and students to Nick's education. It's awesome!

Tracey W. of Florida
As a former Sassoon guy myself now working in the "real world" I feel it way past due for someone with your background to step up and teach from purity, strict discipline and impeccable attention to detail. Thank you for that and no matter what medium you choose please keep it coming.

Paul Anthony of Canada
Love your work! I have had my own salon for over 10 yrs now and are always looking for more education so I was thrilled to find your site. I watched the short swing disconnect on friday With a client in mind. I have been disconnecting her hair but your way is simple, perfect, and effective. She came in today and WOW. . . great cut thanks to you! Keep up the great work I will be watching.

Vince V. of New Jersey
It is so nice to be able to do cuts at home and do it piece meal rather than all at one time. I love being able to absorb what I am doing and being taught slowly and I love the fact that yours comes out so genuinelly. Thanks so much!

Robin R. of Illinois
This website is the best thing since baked bread! I can't say enough good things about Mr. Berardi and his commitment to excellence in providing the best education available to stylists who really want to learn. Whether you're in school, right out of school, or you've been a stylist forever, you are only going to get better at your craft by applying what you'll learn here. Honestly, I landed a job because of Mr. Berardi. I had to do a haircut model for this salon owner as part of the interview process. I did the graduated bob that I learned from Mr. B., and the owner said, "Nice job, and that was not an easy haircut." But you see, Mr. Berardi breaks it down for you in plain English, and keeps it real so you can get it. And that is education.

This morning I went to Dunkin' Donuts for coffee before going to the salon. I ran into a girl who's in school a nd fired up about becoming a stylist. I was all too happy to recommend nickeducation.com to her, and told her it's the best investment that she'll make in her education. And so it is. This is my all time favorite website to which I am totally addicted. If I want to watch a haircut a bizillion times, it's ok. if I want to stay on the site for hours, I can. And I can drill these awesome techniques and haircuts into my brain, and take them right into the salon where they translate into happy clients. Mr. Berardi, YOU are the BOMB! I am so glad that you implemented this nickeducation.com idea!

Louis L. of the Netherlands
Keep going on this way and keep taking your time to explain all technical things and little things. Maybe it would be nice to do this also with colour techniques. The technical explanation is very good because Nick takes time to explain things.

Dianna of Kentucky
I have just one thing to say, Nick is a jewel!!

Lafon B. of Texas
I love this idea of online education. I like to go to alot of classes around the U. S and this makes it easy and convenient. You can replay the videos over and over if you forget the technique. I look forward to seeing new techniques and increasing my knowledge so I can pass it on to my clients. Thank's nick for what you are doing for us as stylists.
