The layer cut hairstyle is more than a trend—it’s a timeless technique that transforms flat, lifeless hair into bouncy, textured perfection. From soft face-framing layers to bold, choppy shags, this versatile cut suits every hair length, texture, and face shape.
At Poonam Beauty Academy (PBA) in New Baneshwor, Kathmandu—the leading beauty school in Nepal—we teach the layer cut hairstyle as a core skill in our hairstyling course in Nepal, salon courses in Kathmandu, and barber course certification programs.
Whether you’re a budding stylist or a salon owner looking to upskill, mastering layers is your ticket to client-favorite looks. Let’s dive into everything you need to know about this iconic cut—and how PBA’s expert training turns beginners into layer-cut pros.
Why the Layer Cut Hairstyle Never Goes Out of Style
Layers aren’t just about aesthetics—they solve real hair problems:
- Adds volume to fine or thin hair
- Removes weight from thick, heavy locks
- Frames the face, enhancing cheekbones and jawlines
- Boosts movement, making curls pop and straight hair swing
In Nepal, where humidity and dust can flatten hair fast, a well-executed layer cut hairstyle keeps clients looking fresh between washes. That’s why every PBA student practices this cut on live models during our salon courses in Kathmandu.
Types of Layer Cuts You’ll Master at PBA
Our hairstyling course in Nepal covers five essential layering techniques:
| Layer Type | Best For | Key Technique | Taught In | 
| Long Layers | Long, straight/wavy hair | Point cutting at 45° | Basic Hairstyling Module | 
| Face-Framing Layers | All face shapes | Slide cutting near cheekbones | Bridal Hair Course | 
| Short Textured Layers | Pixie & bob cuts | Razor & scissor-over-comb | Barber Course Certification | 
| Choppy Shag Layers | Medium-length, edgy looks | Deep texturizing | Advanced Editorial Styling | 
| Invisible Layers | Thick hair, minimal change | Internal layering | Salon Courses in Kathmandu | 
Step-by-Step: How PBA Teaches the Perfect Layer Cut
In our hairstyling course in Nepal, students follow this professional method:
- Consultation (5 mins) → Assess face shape, hair density, lifestyle → Recommend layer length and texture
- Sectioning (3 mins) → Create clean partings (top, sides, back) → Use clips for precision
- Cutting the Guide (2 mins) → Establish baseline length at the back → Cut first layer as reference
- Layering (15–20 mins) → Elevate hair at 90° for uniform layers → Use point cutting for soft ends, slide cutting for seamless blending
- Texturizing & Finishing (5 mins) → Remove bulk with thinning shears → Style with blow-dry or diffuser
- Client Reveal & Aftercare → Teach home styling with round brush or salt spray → Recommend layer-friendly shampoos (sulfate-free)

Tools You’ll Use in PBA’s Barber Course Certification
Quality tools = quality cuts. In our barber course certification, students train with:
- Japanese steel shears (6.0″ for precision)
- Texturizing/thinning shears (28 teeth)
- Razor combs for soft, feathered ends
- Sectioning clips & water spray
- Mannequin heads (100% human hair for practice)
We also teach tool hygiene—sterilization, blade sharpening, and storage—ensuring you meet Nepal’s salon safety standards.
