    I think I've looked at every video on CZcams to see how to do a men's haircut. Just bought clippers and no idea how to use them. This is by far, BY FAR, the easiest video to follow. Thank you very much!!!!!

    Thank you, my kid is autistic and refuses to go to the barber so I have always had to buzz cut it before. He hates that as then the kids call him am egg head. This was a great video as it was easy to follow and looks good. Thank you again x

    Thanks George, that was very informative. I’m 73 and my wife is 75, she is going to cut my hair on Monday for the first time since we got married!
    That’s if we get a delivery from Amazon.

    @corinth492 Před 4 lety +1

    Very helpful indeed, thank you. I’ve got to cut my own short back and sides & two other men so I’m very nervous, but you have given me confidence & I’m grateful. Can’t wait to get to my superb barber of nearly thirty years as a client though!

    I've just cut my son's hair and this is almost what I did. Reviewing this video for extra tips before I do my partner's hair. Slightly different styles though but extremely useful video. One has all one length on back and finger length on top. Other has gradient on both back and top. Thank you

  • @notjustanybeth
    @notjustanybeth Před 4 lety

    Glad to see a professional finds it hard to cut with scissors while looking in the mirror, too. I felt like such a idiot! For those of us who prefer a pixie style cut, highly recommend getting some larger guards. Did mine with mostly the #8. Will definitely buy some thinning or blending shears as soon as places have them in stock again! Seems everyone has the same idea.

  • @jeniferharman4889
    @jeniferharman4889 Před 4 lety +2

    Thanks George! I used this to help me cut my hubs hair & we’re both pleased with the results - minus one faux pas in the back. (That was on me tho) Couldn’t have done it without you!

  • @aligiff17
    @aligiff17 Před 4 lety +7

    Ok, I'm armed, ready & possibly dangerous! Got my hubby pinned down & I'm going in, if I make a dog's dinner of his mullet the upside is his hair grows super fast, so by the end of lockdown nobody will be any the wiser & it will be ready for another trim, the downside being the kids will have a good laugh, wish me luck 😆

  • @stephaniecrawford7
    @stephaniecrawford7 Před 2 lety

    Great training thanks. I started scissor cutting my hubby’s hair now he prefers mine than the barbers. So I bought a VS hair trimmer for Christmas and wasn’t sure how to use it. This is a great guide.

    Excellent demo , really grateful for your tips n tricks. I have a mains Wahl and never made a good job but with your "up and away" technique I have gone from scruffy Neanderthal (apols to any Neanderthals watching ) to Tsssss ! Oww ! ..... my mirrors are busy today . I did a 4 all over then a 3 up and away and over 5 inches of scruff bag are now in the bin. Power to Lockdown Locks . Thanks , have a pint on me George . Thumbs up .

    @MrTimerider1160 Před 4 lety

    I found this video to be Very Educational and usefull. Your live demonstration has encouraged me. Covid19 and being in isolation has created a situation demanding we learn New Skills like cutting one's own Hair. I should learned these skills Years ago. Thanks again for the video.

  • @explorer806
    @explorer806 Před 4 lety

    Thank you George - my hair was driving me nuts 12 weeks since the last cut. Remembered we had some clippers in the cupboard and wifey did the honours (after a glass or two of wine!)
    Results are not too shabby at all...just needs blending in a little more next time. Thanks again.

    Thank you for giving me the confidence to give my DH a quarantine haircut. It turned out quite well, and most importantly, he's really happy with the results! Now if only I could better channel your technique for a DIY cut like the one you instructed Alexa Chung to do on herself. My recent attempt was not as glorious. Sigh.

  • @tomsmith5827
    @tomsmith5827 Před 3 lety

    Thank you very much for your easy to understand tutorial. I have given myself a short back and side and i think that it is passable. From the front it is of the quality I'd be happy with from a barber The tapering at the back may not be quite perfect (I can't see it clearly) but following your instructions I did a lot better than I feared.

  • @CybrHwk
    @CybrHwk Před 4 lety +1

    Followed your tutorial, was great. Very happy with the results, although the top is still quite long, could you do a tutorial on how to cut long hair at the top?
