A 2-look step-by-step masterclass created in collaboration with TYMO.

Step inside the ARIA collection with Jean-Baptiste Santens — Hair World Champion from Paris — for a rare, unfiltered look at how he builds editorial hair from the ground up.

In this masterclass, Jean-Baptiste takes you through two complete looks from ARIA: a collection rooted in precision, structure, and a futuristic re-imagination of French hairdressing. Nothing is “paint by numbers” — every cut, every wire, every curl is intentional.

You’ll learn how to:

• Build graphic, structural editorial looks from scratch — wire, tape and weft
• Construct and integrate custom hairpieces, tassels and accessories
• Direct the hair and create movement before the shape even exists
• Achieve an architectural, continuous curl and a glass-like, light-reflecting finish
• Work with precision under an editorial set’s demands, using the right tool for each section

Jean-Baptiste shares not only the how, but the why behind every decision — the intention and references that shape his signature avant-garde work. Whether you’re stepping toward your first editorial set or elevating your creative signature, this masterclass gives you a front-row seat to a modern session artist’s process and mindset.
