Do you think this was easy to understand? I’d love your feedback!
Yes. I have a grand-daughter that has SUPER THICK (pony tail is like 3” wide!) would this technique work on her, or would she need more than 6 rubber bands?
Your model had the perfectly straight hair that made your instructions helpful IF your hair was strange got and evenly cut. But personally, my hair has tons of layers, waves and curls and even a major cowlick so the instructions don’t help me at all
@@jodyringle7418 great question. You should be able to manage it with just 6 sections. Just make sure it’s damp.
@@karendewillers5190 I understand where you’re coming from but the steps would be the same.
Absolutely! Well done and easy to follow. More like these, thank you!
I like the way he actually has her do it all the way through, rather than showing us and doing it himself. Every time I think of cutting my own hair, I remember my self inflicted shag from the 70's. Many years later here I am doing it again, but I use my husband's clippers when I cut the ends which automatically texturizes it. At one time in our little town I had a stylist who did a point cut on me for the first time. She moved on of course, but it was one of the best cuts I ever had. It lasted a very long time. I lived in Portland for many years where this studio is. That place is totally top drawer! Excellent salon.
My seven year old just cut my hair following these instructions. She got bored halfway through and it still turned out well. Thanks!
😂 brave! And sweet. ☺️
This is great! I’ve been a stylist for 30 years, and I am mightily impressed! Hat’s off! 😉
That’s a MASSIVE compliment! I’m humbled. Thank you!
This was fantastic! My husband helped me by doing the side and back parts, but then I did the rest on my own. I cut my hair at home to save money and have always used CZcams videos. This was by far the best. I'll be coming back to this video for every trim. Thank you!!!!
That’s awesome!! I’m so glad it worked out so well for you!!!
I have watched this video several times and finally got my nerve up. It went pretty fast. I followed my intuition on how much I trimmed off. It could have been a train wreck but it really turned out great! Got rid of the split ends and the long bangs. Fresh start,,, I really love it! It is a great tutorial.
Incredibly helpful and you explain things so naturally. Almost like you're giving a Ted Talk. Plus, it doesn't hurt that the instructior is attractive with a pleasant demeanor. You're a saint for this!! ❤ Thank you!
I tried this by myself exactly as he instructed and it worked! I was pleasantly surprised how easy and quick it was to do. It did take me awhile to wet my hair and band my hair in sections but once I got that done, I just cut away. It turned out great! My husband was impressed.
I watched many other videos before finding this one. I trusted his technique because it made a lot of sense. This is the only video worth saving for cutting your own hair.
Thanks Justin for sharing your expertise!
This was fantastic! My hair had gotten very long but the ends were much thinner than the middle, and the length was pulling out my curls and waves. I cut off about 8 inches and it looks and feels so much healthier.
Just cut off 5 inches of my curly 2C/3A hair and it turned out perfectly!! Once it dried I added in long layers cutting the curls individually and it’s the best haircut I think I’ve ever had
I just cut 6 inches from my long hair for the first time using this method and it turned out great! I just need to texturize and add long layers in the front but this basic cut was easy!! Thank you so much for posting this video♥️
That’s freakin awesome! Thank YOU for trusting me enough to try it!
Your video was the second I watch and thank God I did! I just cut my hair (for the first time in my 38 years of life) and took off 4 inches, positive the entire time I would be doing the walk of shame into a salon to have it fixed. However, it turned out perfect with the exception of two very small longer spots. This video was sooooooo easy to follow and I can’t thank you enough for sharing your wisdom!
GENIUS!!!! I have been waiting for a video like this for years...You nailed it for us home cutting hair gals..THANK YOU Mr Hickox!!! xo
You’re so welcome!!!! I’m stoked to help!!
Thank you so much! I used this tutorial to cut my daughters’ hair, and it turned out amazing on both of them. This was incredibly helpful!
My hair turned out perfect! You're awesome! Thank you for making this video! ❤
Fantastic. I live in the UK and my own stylist closed shop (BC-before covid) and another one I tried (AC - after covid) was awful. I live in the UK and had to finally cut my own hair and found Justin's video. I never went back to a hair stylist. Thank you.
Thank you! I have waist length hair & I have found no one who was able to properly trim my hair. They either just comb it out straight down & either use scissors or a trimmer & go straight across. Every single time is it lopsided or I had long tags. Now I can trim it on my own without paying a pretty penny only to have it mangled.
Heading to the shower to wash my hair and try this out. So excited!
My life got a little complicated so I haven't had much time. I really needed to understand the different types of shears. I recalled you preferred a particular scissor and the perfect lesson was there!
Watched someone else and I couldn't see a difference. In fact the man said there wasn't one. Turned it off because I knew that was inaccurate. Once again I enjoy the clear easy to understand techniques you present. So good to be back.
The best hair cut tutorial and so easy to put into practice ... Thank you so much . Really appreciate that you let your client to cut her own hair , so it makes it easier for me to do it at hone
Justin, this is fantastic - THANK YOU! 😘👍🏻You've saved me $70 every 3 months ($50 haircut/$20 tip). I'll still go back ~once a year to my stylist, but meanwhile - - you've save me a ton of cash and I so appreciate it! 😙👏🏻💝
Tip of 20$ !!!??😂 In Europe we give 1 or 2$ as tip if we have some cash 💰 if not we don’t give. Why would you give so huge tip ? It’s their job to cut and they charge for it. So you already pay them and employees have their pay too… No new to give huge tips..
LOVE LOVE! Took off about 4 inches of stringy mess last night, looks great!!! I subscribed!
You're a GENIUS! Been looking for this since the day I was born! lol THANK YOU SO MUCH!
You’re WAY too nice! Thank you! I’m so glad you liked it!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. With fuel prices as they are, I can’t afford to go to a hairdresser at the moment. Plucked up the courage to cut my own hair and followed your very clear instructions, took 3 inches off the length and I’m delighted at the result.
Thank you so much for this!! My husband and I watched this video and your other trim one and this one won for the length I needed to trim. My hair was too thin on the ends to hold the rubber bands but we worked it out. He did a great job! I’m so happy!!
That’s freakin awesome! I’m so stoked for you guys! And WELL done to your husband!
I used this technique yesterday and I had great results! It was easier than the method I have been using. I just had to add a small angel in the front. Thank you for all the education you share. I would love to get a trim from you! 💕
Excellent! Easy to follow and the result was fantastic! I took 4inches off.
(I'd love to add layers.)
Thank you
Yes! This makes so much sense. I was wondering...when you pull the low pony to the side and trim don't you need to pull to the other side and trim?
Awesome. Great question. If you flatten out the pony you should be fine with just pulling it to one side.
Can you do one to add long layers please or tell us how to do it using this video - I also have soft curls but they straighten out when they're dry, after brushing, so should I cut it dry?
This is the clearest, most competent video. ALL the rest for diy cuts are useless.
I've never cut my own hair. BUT the hairdressers in the UK are expensive and I've had so many disasters. Figured I'd rather be mad at myself for a mistake than pay for theirs. So I'm going to give this a go.
Fingers crossed, if it doesn't work, I'll be back and tell you.
This is very great lesson during Covid.. we do not need to pay anything to you 😊 that’s awesome how you are doing this for us and especially me , thanks Brother 👍🏻
My pleasure. I’m glad I can help! Thanks for the support on my channel!
@@justinhickox sure 😊 my pleasure..
this was PERFECT! My son had a great time helping. Payback for all his own home hair mom cuts!
Bravo! Great tips for us straight hair girls, excellent help and training for those of us not able to get into the hair salon yet. Thanks!
Thank you for putting up content worth learning!
happy to come across your video. Always hesitant cutting my long coarse length. I did it and love the results. So easy to follow your fun instructions.
Wow! I get it. Next time I cut I'll be watching this video again. 👍 To You Justin!!!
Thank you so much, my hair is finally even without going to the hair salon.
Thank you! This I can do! All I needed was an intelligent professional to show me.💕
Thank you so much, glad I found you. I have just finished cutting my hair and it looks amazing🤗
Thank you Justin for sharing this tip with us.
You’re welcome!!! Glad you liked it!!
This was great!! Especially during the pandemic. My hair is so much better. Now what about bangs? Side, curtain, etc!!
Thank you for making this video, trimmed my long hair today. Come out perfectly!!
Thank you so much. I'm really grateful for the tips, advise, and class.
this was very easyy to do but my hair is waist length ,super thick and wavy.. any tips how to save money for a DIY? thank You forsharing this information with all of us
Thank you it was easy to understand
Fantastic! So glad to hear that!
amazing tutorial, thank you so much! just followed your instructions and the result is super! I cut about 10cm of my hair and love my new look 💕
This worked for me. My first hair cut done this way. Turned out ok, but then I used the thinning scissors to soften the ends as I found it difficult to do the point cutting, but I think it would help to have a quick tutorial on how best to use the thinners. I had a good hair cut until that point. The thinners were ok but it added 'dryness' and I may have gone too far with the 'thinning'. But a good first start. Thanks for the tutorial.
Please do video on diy cutting side swept bangs !!
Thank you it worked great. 1st time I ever cut my own hair!!
The result was beautiful! Thank you!
I had trimmed my own hair and it was too rounded in the back. I used this video and only trimmed the back middle sections. It is now more even all around so I’m happy!
WHy'd the instructions say to have thinning shears when you never used them in the video?
Easy piece hair tutorial, thank you!
Wow!! WELL DONE!!!
Thanks! This totally worked great!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU Justin!!! The absolute hardest part was sectioning off. My parts were perfect, but good enough! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I love this!! Thank you so much ♥️ Can you do a video for a beginner learning men's cuts? I've been doing my best to cut my husband's and son's hair since covid hit and I'm the worst 😫
Thank you! I actually have a video I created a long time ago about tips for cutting men’s hair. It’s not a step by step but it does have a lot of important tips I think you’d love!
czcams.com/video/keGD1sj2mOw/video.html
YAY!!! Now could you pretty please do one for shoulder length hair?? Mine is not as long as your models. Thank you so much! LOVED that video!
Thank you! So glad you liked it. I would use the same method to do a shoulder length, once you move to a Bob length, I switch up the technique a little.
@@justinhickox mines at shoulder length, grown out bob.
@@justinhickox are you going to do a video on that? :)
Thank you.
Best method and explanation so far. But I did not like black robe for cutting black hair for demonstration purpose. A white gown would have helped to see the results and process clearly.
Such a gift thank you!. People with compromised immune systems need this. Thank you!
I really appreciate your clear explanations every step of the way! 👍
What is the purpose of splitting the hair into sections? My hair is quite fine and thin. Can I get away with splitting my hair down the center of my head into two sections and then using the elastics to cut off my ends?
Very nice post Justin. I will be referring to your other video's as I progress. Hehe. This was very helpful & I think will amend some of the mistakes I am encountering. I would definitely dare trim my daughter's long hair now. It needs it bad!!!
Thank you! I’m stoked I could help! Can’t wait to hear how your daughters hair turns out.
That was an awesome video!!!
This was brilliant. Thank you for offering this informative content for free 👏🏼💖💈
This was awesome 🤩. Thank you Justin. 👏🏻
This is really helpful. Thank you!
You’re welcome! So glad you liked it!
Awesome video thank you for sharing 🙂
Wonderful! Thank you!
Incredible! Thank you!
Thanks!
Hey Tammy! I'm SO sorry, somehow I missed your comment so I'm a bit late to the response! Thanks a ton for the support! I hope the tutorial helped make things a bit easier for ya! I appreciate the trust.
Impressive video! Thank you!
This was 👍🏻 great! Thank you!
You’re so welcome! Glad you liked it. Thanks for the feedback!
I feel like I’ve discovered a precious artifact - I’ve been searching for this info for so long lmao
very well explained, thnx! I'll give it a try later today 💇... wish me luck 😆
yes ...its really wow ..... easy way out to cut hair
Glad I could help!
great & easy to understand! my only suggestion is showing the dry hair a little more at the end
very helpful
Hi Justin, I’m interested in the free webinar. If I sign up, am I able to watch or have access to it at a more convenient time that works for me? I’m learning so much from your channel!!
Thank you very much😊
Great video👍👏👌
I wish this one was out earlier. I had my daughter-in-law trim the back of my hair (it was too hard for me to reach) and of course... I now have a straight hard line. Lost my layers and have to figure that out for the back. I like this video. very helpful...just too late for me :(
Sorry to hear that but so glad I could help for next time!
@@justinhickox Your videos are all very helpful. Even if it's something that doesn't apply to me. I watch, listen and I won't be on any epic hair fail videos on CZcams....lol
Great tutorial - thank you! I just cut 6 inches off my hair using this method, and it couldn't have been easier. Your instructions were very clear and to the point, which I appreciated. Nothing worse than having to fast-forward through unnecessary rambling or storytimes 🥱 Thanks again!
Thank you. Works perfectly. 💜
Very helpful, thanks!
You’re welcome! Glad it helped!
Absurd to use the dark cape to instruct this cut on dark hair, cannot see the ends/angle being cut, I get the gist but frustrated with the bad visual.
Thank you so much! If I have a friend cut a straight line across my back will it look better or is it best to trim the low ponytail?
Great question! If you have a friend that can clean up the back after you’ve cut the length, that would be ideal. But if you’re alone, the low pony is a great way to clean it up yourself. I will say, you’re likely better off cutting the length yourself then having your friend just clean up the middle.
Hi. Is the free webinar no longer available? I clicked on the link, but it didn’t work.
Also, would you be willing to do an at home hair cutting video for curly hair? Thanks!
Yes, ez to understand.
I have curly wavy hair. It is hard enough to find a professional that can handle my very strange hair
Fair enough. That could also be the exact reason you SHOULD do your own... 😉
If your hair is wet enough if should weigh down and tame your curls, that way you should still be able to manage a pretty good cut 😊
Love your videos
I love your channel I found it a couple of days ago and its amazing ! Can you please suggest what kind of haircut would be good for postpartum hair as in when it grows back its like a mullet. Would love to hear your thoughts. Thank you
at the end of the video, did she choose to do the blunt cut when she had it all in one ponytail vs. point-cutting it ? Do you have to perfect it like that at the end?
Great video will good old sharp dressmaking scissors work ?? I am def going to be trying this out
Very good
Awesome. Do you know anything about cutting wigs? Like what kind of ✂️ to use and how does synthetic cut different from human hair? Etc.
Great question . Honestly, I haven’t cut any wigs, so I wouldn’t want to speak to that and give you the wrong insight. Sorry I can’t be more help.
@@justinhickox That's okay. I will keep researching and thanks for your honesty. Love the videos.
Its much easier to see the cutting technique on length, if a dark haired model wore a white top, if a blond model wears a black top.
Totally hear ya. Unfortunately we don’t have any white capes so we had to work with what we could.
And if you don't want the straight across look and cut every point tail the same length to have the round bottom... When you pull the hair back into one ponytail, do you still cut it straight across or leave it as is?
I’ve spent years messing up my hair! Going to try this now( wish me luck) but I don’t see a link for the master class- has it expired?
Awesome. Very excited for you. We still have the class available, you can find it here under the Home Hair Masterclass tab: www.hickoxstudio.com
Do you have a video to cut curly hair or does this technique work on curly hair?
This technique will work on curly hair as well. The main difference is to dry and style your hair first, then determine how much you want to trim off the ends (ie an inch, 1/2 inch etc). Then follow these steps but when you go to cut, make sure to cut whatever amount you determined, DON’T cut the length to the actual length you want to end at since the length will get shorter when it dries. Hope that makes sense.
