Q. Do I have to have the special Helix Shears to do this cut?
A. Yes, We provide a pair of Helix student shears for all of the classroom work. The reason is clear after you have experienced this shear first hand. If you are skeptical, that is okay too, and that thought is easily over come with just one Helix demonstration.
Q. Why is it necessary for me as a stylist to have the Helix Shears?
A. Our cutting system has been scientifically proven in the study of Physics. Helix works and the answer is in the science. A complicated algebraic equation explains why and how it is possible. The Helix Hair Academy along many engineering professionals have simplified this equation for easy comprehension. The equation looks like this:
abc
xy3
What this equation means to the hair stylist is:
The top part of the equation is the variable or things that change with each individual person; for example: hair length, thickness, natural curl, elasticity, hormonal issues, angle of stylists wrist movement, angle of the Helix Shear in the stylists hand and so much more.
The bottom part of the equation is the given components or things that DO NOT change; the exact degree of the curve in the Helix Shear blade and the exact degree of the Helix Shear torque. The 3 in the indicates the power in depth and gives the equation result a "3D" finish.
Q. Why can’t I use the plain curved or straight shears that I already have?
A. Referencing the previous question; the bottom part of the equation CAN NOT be altered. Meaning, if you take away the "torque" of the blade or the curve, you will not get a Helix result.
The Helix Cutting System is focused on cutting a spiral “C” shape into the hair. Resulting in volume, texture and natural looking wave or curl. The top part of the equation will differ with each client; which is why no two people will have the same Helix result.
Q. How much are the Helix Original Shears?
A.Quality with a lifetime guarantee. The investment is well worth the profit you will make as a Certified Helix Designer. In-house, interest free financing is available and 99% are approved with a small deposit. Yes, a new pair of Helix shears can go home right then and your "Helix" income will easily pay for your new tool. We will show you how step by step and give you a few extra months to get started.

Q. After I have had my first Helix how do I know when I have to get another one?
A. This depends on the average growth of the customers hair, an average is generally every 6 – 8 weeks and will vary. Depending on your hair's personal performance, some clients can go up to 10 or 12 weeks before having a “touch up”. It is not recommended to go more than 12 weeks. Consider how a color treatment shows out growth, Only with Helix the base or new growth supports the crown area giving lift and volume, while the remaining shaft provides the direction and texture.
