Organized by GreenLife Company, a special training tour at TWO町KABOO – a leading hair academy in Shanghai, China – provided a breakthrough journey for 40 Vietnamese hair stylists. Over the course of a professional 3-day training program led directly by renowned expert Master Panda, participants not only learned advanced haircutting techniques but also received profound inspiration in design thinking and professional ethics, opening the door to global opportunities for the new generation of Vietnamese hair artists.
Three-day journey of exploring technical depth and aesthetic mindset
At TWO町KABOO, known as the “cradle of creative hair techniques” in China, the “Style Design” course was delivered to international standards, featuring hands-on practice with live models and in-depth analysis of structural shaping techniques. The trainees, who came from various regions across Vietnam and represented a wide range of ages and experience levels, all shared a passionate spirit of learning.
What united them was not only the technical knowledge imparted, but also the way Master Panda guided the sessions—with clarity, warmth, and a consistent focus on helping each student uncover their own unique identity. From sectioning, layering, and form manipulation to defining styles tailored to different face shapes, all knowledge was “decoded” into practical applications that empowered the trainees to master their craft and elevate the quality of salon services.
Panda: Forerunner of simple yet exquisite techniques
As the Technical Director and Co-founder of the academy, Master Panda is one of the key figures shaping modern hairstyling trends in China. He is renowned for his philosophy of “simplicity is sophistication”, where every hairstyle is not only aesthetically refined but also practical for everyday life.
Through a visual teaching method, systematic thinking, and relatable language, Master Panda enables students not just to learn but to truly understand—not just to replicate but to create. His training philosophy avoids rigid templates, instead aiming to awaken each individual’s creative mindset—an essential foundation for a truly professional hair stylist in the digital age.
Outstanding learners & feedback from industry professionals
The standout students and genuine feedback from seasoned professionals serve as compelling evidence of the course’s exceptional quality. Each participant brought a unique career story, yet all shared positive impressions of their experience at the academy. Hairstylist Trung Tran – who previously trained at Sassoon and Toni&Guy – remarked: “Master Panda delivered exactly what I was looking for: highly applicable techniques that save time without sacrificing creativity.”
Hairstylist Chuyen shared: “I’ve mastered sectioning and structural handling, which allows the hairstyle to naturally frame the face and be easier to maintain.” Meanwhile, hairstylist Vu Ngoc Vo – one of the top three students recognized for excellence – emphasized: “I gained a clear, systematic mindset about the profession and was deeply inspired by Master Panda’s teaching style.” For hairstylist Tran Mai Lan, the course was surprisingly emotional: “I didn’t expect a technical class to be so inspiring. I learned about discipline, self-awareness, and a deep love for the craft.” Finally, hairstylist Tam UK reflected: “I absorbed about 80% of the content – an impressive figure given that the training lasted only three days.”
Fostering international connections and thriving from solid foundations
With over two decades of operation and a network of branches across Shanghai, Chengdu, Jiangxi, and Guangzhou, TWO町KABOO Academy stands as a premier destination for hair professionals across Asia. Choosing this academy as the venue for the training tour reflects the strategic vision of GreenLife Company—an esteemed organizer known for pioneering efforts in bridging professional expertise and international cultural exchange for Vietnam’s hair industry.
The 7-day, 6-night study tour offered not only valuable professional experiences but also broadened cultural perspectives. It enabled Vietnamese hairstylists to better understand global trends, engage with international peers, and, most importantly, confidently assert their Vietnamese identity within the regional beauty industry.
At TWO町KABOO, each scissor stroke is more than just a technique—it’s a gentle touch to the soul of every learner, a space where love for the craft is redefined with pride and integrity. Under the guidance of Master Panda and the committed coordination of GreenLife Company, Vietnamese hairstylists didn’t just walk out of the classroom with new skills—they emerged with a renewed mindset: confident, contemporary, and uniquely themselves. Armed with what they’ve gained from this course, they are now writing the first chapters of a new journey—one grounded in resilience, driven by passion, and brimming with creative inspiration.
