General Terms

Field Studies are curated, small-group travel experiences designed specifically for hairdressers and beauty professionals. By booking a Field Study, you acknowledge that this is a group-based educational and cultural experience, not a traditional vacation package or private tour.

Participation requires flexibility, personal responsibility, and a willingness to engage respectfully with fellow travelers, educators, and local partners.
