Did this all make sense?
Absolutely. I had one of these issues; that scrappy business at the bottom compliments of a stylist who over layered my already thinnish hair and cut too far back from my ears. (maybe noticeable in my pic)
I consulted with a new stylist who is super talented. Since you can't ADD back length 😁, she created a blunt chin length bob that made my hair look full, healthy and amazing.
Definitely!
100% I like layered styles. My hair is just past my shoulders and it can be so difficult getting the right layered look. So many stylists don’t know how to layer hair so it looks good.
Very good... I have a new shag cut... or layered bob, and I was checking my front to back layers, side layers and ends in the back during this video. 😉 I have a very talented stylist, a master barber of 22 yrs, who totally gets how to layer my hair. I went from a longish pony tail with bangs to just below shoulders with layers and bangs. Your videos helped me know how I wanted to transition out of ponytail/bangs to an awesome easy and flattering layered cut.
How about doing a video explaining the shag cut and a "do this, not that" tutorial to rock that style.
BTW, you are a treasure ❤
Thank you for your time and passion. You are truly valued and appreciated.
YEAH 🎉 Perfect Sense!
Technical formulas and explanations.
I would also like more advice on a Shaggy cut (never a mu😂🤣et )
Thanks Justin
I swear I have never had a great haircut. No matter how much I have paid.
Is it bc the haircuts doesn't suit/compliment your face shape? Just trying to help.
More likely because my hair is very curly and frizzy and it’s really difficult to manage and it isn’t long so options are limited. I let them do what they want. 🤷🏼♀️
I have 3 kinds of hair , straight on top, wavy on the sides and curly in the back .
Manes by Mel is a channel specifically for curly hair. Check out her stuff.
SAAAAME
Wish I could find someone with this level of expertise on curly hair.
Me too!
maybe go and look at manes by mell, she is curly hair specialist on youtube:)
Same! I’m at wit’s end, thinking that, because of my horrid hair, there is no “best cut” for me! Is it finally wig time?!
Same!
I hear you. It seems there are no stylists that do. Frustrating. With COVID I lost a lot of hair and it's so thin on top and sides but thinker at back bottom. It looks like a weird triangle on profile.😅
To be honest... I actually love every style he says we should avoid
me too
Me too
I saw a few that he said not to do that I really loved
I don’t know if you’ve ever been a hair stylist instructor but your knowledge and ability to articulate the art of hair cutting is amazing. I never knew about the fact that there are styling rules or truths and also that you can take a hair cut and personalize it to the individual by cutting in volume in specific places all the while adhering to guidelines about where in the head layers should begin or end (i.e in front of the ears etc.)
Great video so informative!
I’ve been cutting my own hair since this whole covid thing began. I do not miss it. Hair is hair 🤷🏼♀️
Yes. Its an art and a science.
.
Unfortunately many stylists should be watching these videos. When you try to find a good stylist, many times you come out looking like an Amish boy
I gotta say, what I do love about these heavily layered and texturized haircuts, is that they lend themselves very well to air drying hair. On my thick and dense, wavy hair, at least. These type of cuts might look a little too 'extra' when carefully blowdryed, but if you leave the hair to just dry or diffuse it into it's natural texture, they can really bring out waves and loose curls. And when the hair does that, the layering suddenly looks *way* less extreme and choppy. Whereas the kind of layering and texturing appropriate for smoothened hair is hardly noticeable then.
Yeah, agree totally. When hair isn't layered enough in back, I end up frustratedly trying to scrunch it just to give it more of that layered look, more SHAPING.
Agree. I constantly tell my stylist, who has been cutting it for years lol, shorter, choppy, layers. Shorter on the crown. Shorter on the sides. All I want to do is shake and go, honestly. Now I myself, my hair will actually make nice curls without anything. She’s stuck on “feathering”. And she’s absolutely horrified with how short I like my bangs lol. They’re not baby bangs, but that’d be ok. I get a lot of compliments on it, so idk. I do have to say I have thick hair with a natural curl. Which I didn’t discover until I cut it short. I’ve pretty much always had long hair. About waist length. But whoo boy. I LOVE it short. I tell her, I don’t want to feel my hair lol
Yes! I just had my hair cut and asked for a lot of the bulk on the bottom in back to be taken out. When I blow dry it, it creates a weird shape. Last night, I dried it about half way and let it air dry the rest because I was too hot to finish drying it. It actually looks so much better, and I even had it in a clip to get it off of neck earlier today and when I took out the clip it looked amazing!
I had the Carol Brady and it was the absolute best hair I had in my life.
Carol Brady? Hm? I have to Google that one.
I like the first hairstyle you’re criticising, better than some of the haircuts I’ve had before I started cutting my own hair, my hairstyle has always been admired since. Deanne
I have been cutting my own hair in the last year (and coloring it) never had the best comments. Saves a lot of money and looks the way I want it! Better than than the way the stylist thinks it should look.
I would let you cut my hair ANY DAY! You know what you’re talking about and I’m so glad you pointed out that some women can even rock a wrong style if it’s on the right person! 🙌🙌
I really appreciate this explanation! It means a lot to find someone who puts so much thought into the look, presentation, and “the feels” of a haircut and style. I’m fortunate to have a great stylist who pulls straight up and scissors down into the hair and then textures lightly at angles out to the side of my head, just like you showed. I love my hair and in the thirteen years that I’ve trusted her with my hair, I only had to use someone else once in a pinch when she was sick and I had a reunion. This was back in May of this year, and I’m still trying to recover, lol. Thanks, I’m going to be binge watching your vids til way too late in the night to see what else I need to know 😃
I gotta admit that I “rocked” the 80’s Sassoon cut. Heavy straight bangs with a shoulder length blunt cut. I loved that hair cut. Crazy thing is as many times as I’ve tried to get that same cut since then has failed .😅 so I have stopped trying. Now it is almost waist length with more glitter highlights(gray strands) appearing every year😂
The mistakes you point out absolutely make sense. The "mistakes" all make the hairstyles extreme or a bit odd requiring a conscious and deliberate intent in wearing them to pull them off and look edgy rather than odd. The examples you show really illustrate your points well and make even me, with no hair knowledge, get it!
You are so right Justin, I agree with the layering. I can see the difference. Now I need to get a good cut because I like layering and I need it done right. How I wish I could get a cut from you! Love your videos. I learn so much. Thank you Justin!
Great video! I went to a stylist that made some of the mistakes mentioned as cutting the front next to the ears too short and a bang that didn’t connect to the cut. The result was an aged look and I hated it. But at that time I didn’t know what was wrong… Now I know! Thank you for the video! About my hair, I needed to wait 6+ months to cut again and was not an easy fix for the other stylist.
I sure wish I lived in the city where Justin has his hair salon! I’d definitely go to him.
I once had a hair stylist that I could just say "make me a new woman" to her. I would sit in her chair, close my eyes & totally relax. When I saw it in the mirror, it was always fabulous! Unfortunately she was renovating her house, & accidentally cut off the fingers, on one hand. That was that. She was an artist for sure. That was 30 years ago and I have never found anyone else like her. 😟 If you're still out there Donna, I still miss you 😢
You popped up in my feed today and as a stylist I agree 100%. Having the experience and ability to communicate to clients is everything. Thanks for the language. I tell clients “we just make it look easy.”
Would love more curly hair styles included with the straight/wavies.
Crazy good! Watching you has made me realize I’ve had some really bad haircuts over the years. Thankfully I’ve found a stylist that knows me and my hair well. We work well together keeping me from getting carried away with something that won’t work for me. Thanks for sharing all your tips and tricks.
Thank you so much! I’m so glad I can help! I’m stoked that you found an awesome stylist, it’s such a big deal! I appreciate the support!
Where is the stylist from ? Thank you
Yes it all made sense! I am extremely happy that I found you!!!!!! I agree with each and every point that you made. I have thin fine hair and it's a challenge to say the least to find someone who knows how to "deal" with my hair. I actually have to "teach" the hair stylists what to do and what not to do--it's not an easy task since I am NOT a hair stylist. Thank you!
Thank you for helping us older ladies know how to wear our hair. I have fine hair that is receding a little bit and basically a little longer in front than back shoulder length and wondering what I can do to look more youthful. Also have highlighted grey hair that I try to keep cooler tones in but always ends up brassy and I struggle with shine. If anyone can help me with this it would be you Justin. Thank you for your cool videos and your love of nature. We need to appreciate our natural environment and care for that as well as our hair!
I hope you have something on longer curly/wavy hair. Everything I see is straight hair. I have too much hair to straighten, nor do I want to. So hard to find the right cut at age 55. I hope you have some tips or video!
Would luv to c u do a curly girl bangs video. Bangs on curls r complicated, but us curlys deserve to have that option too! There has to be a way to make em work without adding a ton of maintenance! Would luv to c your take on it!
I hear ya! I definitely will be creating more curly hair Contant this year! You are correct, they’re absolutely an option for curly girls!
@@justinhickox I would love more natural wave or curly hair styles! It’s always a bit challenging not to walk out being a triangle head! 😂
You just explained so many consultation points in a very articulate manner. It really is the person wearing it, the trends as they come and go, and principles of cutting that have to be considered. 👏🏻
Yes, it makes sense! Thank you, Justin! I have to admit, I liked some of the don’ts in the past, but now I know why they aren’t maybe the best choice. Always appreciate your videos!
I love hearing your opinion. Of course some people can have weird edgy hair styles and it looks great on them. But still, it's great to hear opinions from a hair stylist. I learn so much from your videos. Thank you.
All of this makes sense. I have learned so much from your channel. I have one of the hair styles that is not recommended… It is a longer mullet kind of style, which is a little straggly on the ends. I finally found someone who does razor cuts. I have been looking for that for 15 years with no luck until now. I am in my mid 50s, but somehow this style rocks on me. For the first time in my life, I am getting compliments! I cannot tell you how many bad haircuts I have had in my life. SO MANY. I even got a compliment from my hairstylist friend (I have learned not to mix friendship with business, so I have not gone to her, but it was a great confirmation!)
So Justin is right that it really all depends on the person’s personal style.
I totally agree about not mixing friendship with business (at least when it comes to hair). A friend was excited about moving on to a new salon after years of being unhappy at her old one. When I booked an appointment with her, she was thrilled. She gave me a great cut, HOWEVER, the assistant who washed my hair was in a pissy mood and threw a wet towel on my face. That was so inappropriate, unprofessional, and downright nasty. Plus I wear contact lens, and she could have hurt my eye.
I said nothing because I was shocked. It put a bad taste in my mouth and I never went back to the salon.
@@BeYounique...Maryanne I am sorry to hear you had such a horrible experience. However, I would definitely have mentioned the incident to your friend. Maybe this was a one-off incident or perhaps this is normal behavior for the assistant and needs to be addressed. Also, not letting your friend know what happened may leave her thinking you were dissatisfied with her service, when in fact you were. I think it would be a good thing to share your experience with her since the assistant may be doing the same or worse to many clients and that is a problem for the clients and the people who work there - your friend already lost you as a client because of this incident. Just a thought.
Good job on showing the importance of enhancing the natural shapes and points of the face and why. Im looking forward to seeing more :) I find explaining briefly to clients how the cut can enhance and add to the overall look really makes the clients understand and be more willing to try new things! Good job :)
makes absolutely sense! I love how you explain these concepts with visual. Thank you
Thank you for this awesome video! You explain proportion and technique so well! I am kind of ocd about having my layers connected and flowing especially in the bang area....Thanks to you Justin, i am now using the right terms to ask for and my haircuts are so much better! I don't dread the texturizing cuts now.
I don't wear makeup and I've had the same hairstyle for over 40 years... so why do I spend so much time watching this channel and Wayne Goss? Something about attractive men my age who are better at girly things than I am - and are so smart and gentle about it - is just so fascinating to me, I guess 😂.
If you've had the same haircut for 40 years and have no intention of changing it Why are you watching a video on haircutting ? Then to top things off you leave a snarky comment Why not just go watch a funny Cat video or something ?
You’re so cute and humble while giving these tips! I love it. Makes me feel less intimidated to hear and learn how to do our hair in a friendly and warm way. Very genuine. Thank you!! And it all makes total sense. I love how you show examples at the end of how some do break the rules and it works great still! Love it all.❤
I loved all but one of your "bad" examples! I love lots of layers, but not too long. Oh well, to each his own.
Loved your advise and it does make sense! 😊I definitely think the last 2 ladies rocked the look and they are the exception to the rule.
Exactly! I totally agree, people definitely can be an exception to these rules!
❤❤❤❤❤❤ I love and adore your channel! Your cute wife, pups, the great outdoors…. But most of all your spirit … you love people and want them to feel great about themselves…. Having your hair on point is a great start!!! ❤❤❤ thanks for all your ❤love time & effort. Your expertise is priceless!😊
I think your spot on more hair dressers need your expertise and knowledge of face framing. Instead of everyone being a basic cut
Lol, with how well you share your experience and articulate your options. You deserve compliments! I've seen a lot of your videos. Thank you so very much ❤
Easy to see you love what you do and improving people's lives!
@Justin, Have you ever considered a service where you charge someone for sending in a pic and you recommending a hairstyle and color for them and their hair? I would totally pay big for that.
I would also do this!
WOW! Such a helpful video for me! I had to laugh at myself because all the pictures I used to bring to my hairstylist are the ones you showed at the beginning. 😂 I definitely see the difference now, and I am learning a lot from you! Thank you.
Thank you so much! I’m really glad I could help with this. You’re not alone, sometimes a picture can look great, but it might be tough to realize how much better it could even look. Hopefully I am helping people understand the differences. I’m really glad that this is helping you a bit and I really appreciate you hanging out with me!
Very enjoyable, I learned things about layering that I’d never considered. I like that you are creative and can make exceptions to the rules. Thank you!
I truly appreciate how you explain and advise on what works and what doesn't...and WHY!
Thank you so much! I appreciate that. I believe the WHY is the most important part of the entire equation.
Love your videos, and I'm learning a lot. Most importantly, I have learned how to tell my stylist what I want. I think most of my bad haircuts were due to miscommunication. Maybe a video on that would be good?
Great points - I love your videos as you explain things so clearly and the photo examples REALLY help. (I’m a hair blogger but not a hairstylist so I’m trying to educate myself on hairstyles/cuts). I wear my own hair in fairly long layers, and I have a fantastic stylist, but sometimes I end up with those wispy long ends and I’m not fond of them - now I know what to ask for! ❤
Loved your valuable expertise and advice! I'm over 60 and have thin hair. I do best with the lift and some curl I get from layering. Then my hair doesn't look lifeless and flat. And when there's gentle blending with bangs into the layering, it looks more graceful for my face. Great inspiration!
Oh my goodness, this story tore at my heart. Thank goodness you found each other.
Does anyone remember the “cap cut” from the early ‘80s? The stylist cut the top part shorter than the rest of the hair and, depending on what you wanted, left the rest of the hair longer. I loved it. It took care of the volume I needed on top ( because I have a round face with a small forehead), and leaving the length with minimal layers took care of not having width at the sides. It made my face look slimmer. I wish I had the courage to try this again.
Worth a try.
Maybe try a wig similar in the style you describe and see if you still like it.
Yes! I call this the rock n roll haircut. Do it!!
Basically David Bowie in the Labyrinth!
Great video. After struggling with bobs and medium length hair for a few years I just went to a very short Pixie. Longer and messy on the top and close at the neck. As a 63 yr old retired Nana I absolutely love it. And I owe it all to you and your videos that gave me the courage to try a CURVE BALL.
Good for you. Shame you can post a picture here for us to see.
You are just adorable! Love the videos, but also love your personality. The little extra comments tell a real story of who you are, and it is just so endearing.
Thank you for sharing your perspective on why these may not work on faces. Appreciate the professional’s point of view. Pictures always appreciated! We tend to fall for a look because of the person wearing the look vs the hairstyle itself! I’ve been guilty of that😂. Thank u. Much appreciated! Keep them coming!
I wonder if people realize what all goes into creating a great hairstyle for people. Their basic hair, their height and weight, their lifestyle ( and what they will do to maintain it), what they want, versus what is possible with their hair….I considered every haircut I did a work of art. Communication with the client is key. And to explain what won’t work for them, and why
It is extremely difficult to find a stylist like that. I have found most stylist, at best, can do one hairstyle well. And they just do that style - usually Rachel from friends in the 90s - no matter what you say. And that is best case scenario.
I have found most stylist don't take into consideration your hair texture (ie: naturally coarse or fine, whether its naturelly straight, wavy, or curly, etc...). They also don't ever ask about your styling abilities & how much time you want to spend trying to style. They all want to cut my hair as if its straight & not coarse, & that I actually have skills/abilities with a blow dryer & **want** to blow dry & iron my hair 🙄
Love your videos Justin. Would you consider a video addressing fine and frizzy hair that is difficult to manage when humid.
Also, types of straightening treatments. I have a Brazilian cacau treatment every 6 months. It works, but I wonder if I'm doing damage having this done. Thanks and keep up the great work 😊 Sue
I wish they would teach new hair stylists all the important tips you mentioned in this video. Thank you for these helpful suggestions.
New subscriber here! Loved this tutorial! I have always loved cutting hair -it really is an art. I went through all the schooling, but never worked in the industry for various reasons, but I love learning new techniques to cut friends and family's hair, I also cut my own hair as it seems most hair stylists over layer my fine hair, regardless of what I tell them I want. Thank you for pointing this out and making it easy to understand.
You asked what we want to see. I would love to see some hair with texture/waves/curls in the examples shown with all of the different hair cuts and such. I have a daughter with very curly hair, one with curly hair and one with some texture-y waves. My hair is soft waves. I know (oh, how I know) that showing hair with actual texture/waves/curls is difficult to find online and such, but it would sure be helpful. I understand, straight hair is easier to show off cuts/styles, but it's like very thin models showing clothes. Nice but not necessarily beneficial for everyone. Thank you for all of the effort you put into your content.
I totally agree with your analysis and at the end of the video, with the fact that the hairstyle HAS to fit the "vibe" of the wearer. Thank you for all of your interesting videos!
Absolute true what you are saying. It’s key to any haircut. As a hairstylist I can’t help seeing these faults myself. You are an excellent stylist keep helping people feel and look good about themselves.👍🥂
This makes me realize that what I want in a hair cut is all the wrong things and I still want it. I like my hair length to be just above my shoulders and I do have bangs and layering throughout. I always feel like I want shorter layers on top even though I know it might not match up to the other layers. I don't even care. I just need more life on the top part of my head, more fluff totally changes the shape of my round face and I NEED that. My hairstylist won't do that, probably for the reasons explained here. How do I get the volume on top and still have a good haircut? I have thin hair strands but a lot of hair and very very straight but I usually curl it with a round brush.
Have you tried a little bit of back combing and texturising spray. I have really thick hair but it’s always flat at the crown. I bought a back combing brush or teasing brush as I’ve heard American ladies call it and back comb underneath and then smooth out the top layer. It makes my face look less round 😂
Try that wolf or butterfly cut.
Great video, loved seeing the examples and the analysis of them. Also appreciated you showing people who can break the "rules", sometimes it can just sound like an expert is trying to not hurt people's feelings when they say "But if you love these, of course keep doing them". Of coures you don't want to make someone feel bad, but there are always some people that can pull things off.
Great video! The presentations of the different layering is very helpful. And yes, Justin, you are awesome❤️
I actually liked all those hairstyles that you were criticizing.
I happen to really like the short dark layered look at the end. Not sure if my hair can pull it off but it fits my personality.
Menopause needs to be brought into consideration… big time layering and thinning in my styles since hot flashes started… still want long hair and don’t want to wear a ponytail or bun head all the time… short layers on top in the back help you get volume for different styles… but good point to be careful about a mullet!!!!
Thanks! Great video....that really helped me understand how to better articulate style preferences to my hairstylist. I have had ALL of those haircuts at some time when asking for some "texture" or "some layering" in my fine very straight silky textured hair! The "choppy" look really stands out when it happens and looks like what my husband calls the "lawnmower cut". Thanks for sharing your knowledge and creativity. I am in the process of finding a new stylist since we moved, so hopefully your tips and terminolgy will help me communicate better, find a good match, and end up with a good cut .
I so appreciate your expertise and love learning a bit of what you know! Its just awesome! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
This video is "Justin" time! I'm getting my haircut this Saturday and we will be discussing my bangs and the layering! I have a high-ish forehead and I really love bangs! Except for the part where they get caught in my glasses 😮. Anyway, I will be sure to use these tips when I talk to my hair stylist! Thank you for the hints and ideas!❤
You’re so welcome! I’m so glad that this came at the right time. I really hope it helps for your haircut! Can’t wait to hear how it turns out!
Oh my gosh! This is my dilemma too and I'm getting my hair cut on Friday!
I hope your hair turns out fabulous 😊
I hate the stray hairs stuck in my glasses!
It's important to be able to communicate to our hairdresser what you want in a haircut. You have given us not only the concepts but the language. Makes perfect sense structurally.
I appreciate your explanations why a style works or fails. My bad haircuts were always linked to my inability to describe what I want w/o a photo.
I love those "mullets". I'm in my 70s and grew up with the rocker styles, like Joan Jett. My hair is naturally wavy, and lots of layer look great on me.... at least I think so.
My guy!!!..,you crack me up!!!🤣🤣…this video for me, was extremely helpful…I could see exactly what you meant when you showed the women with the haircuts that made all the mistakes, but, they looked fantastic on them!.,,it was a part of them, their overall being, so to speak…I love women that can wear their hair any way they want and still look fabulous!..,very informative video, Justin!!!..you nailed this!!!..much love and appreciation!!!!💜💜💜💜💜💜
What’s up Linda! Thank you so much again as always! It’s crazy right, when somebody is wearing a style that suits them. It’s hard to explain why, sometimes it just works. I always appreciate the support! You rock.
Agreed. I want to be able to rock those loose, shaggy short looks, but I get a reality check when I look back at styles I’ve tried over the years. Everything from a pixie, to Beatles bowl cut, to long layers and waist length hair… it seems like choosing the right shapes, lines, & focus means more than the hair style. I have been for focused on style (Bob or shag) and not focused on what the shape and lines are emphasizing. Probably not a great candidate for a messy shag & probably not the right shape for me. I’m still on the hunt.
You nailed it on the head! It’s really easy to want to dictate your hairstyle by styles you see, and like, but working around your hair, texture and face shape is huge! If you can figure out a way to marry those two along with a style you like then you are really in good shape!
Great job explaining the concepts of too little or too much layering!
The ending was great! No one ever talks about the exceptions ! Probably the best hair cut video I ever saw!
Had a thought for a possible video topic: hair for your personality style. Might be cool to get some opinions on what might suit a free spirited type, or a bookish type, a professional office vibe, vs. hippie style, etc.. I know that’s very subjective; however, there are factors like convenience or practicality, or just what a hair style is communicating upon a first impression. While shape, texture and color dictate some hairstyles over others, it could be helpful/fun to have a few examples of hair types for life styles and what they say (strong, weak, approachable, high maintenance, casual or carefree). I know that’s a lot of opinion based stuff- but we’re online for many opinions & thats why we like your channel, you give it to us strait. 👍🏻
Thank you for your informative video. I have fine and thin hair so I just love taking on any advice. I must search to see if you have covered this topic before. Maybe you could consider doing a video for the ones who were less blessed with lots of hair but still want to rock a good styling? 😊
Your spot on.. my last haircut looks like 2 haircuts in one.. hate it. It’s disconnected. Fine hair has to have long layers or none.. So disappointing always waiting for my hair to grow out because the stylist has no sense of style!!
Part of what is so helpful to me (this video) is the vocabulary. How to articulate to a stylist what you want to happen with your hair. Thank you for that.
Greetings from England 🏴
Another great video for medium length hair.
Great information, you put in perspective all of things to be aware of regarding style and shape. I wish you were close to cut my hair. So many hair stylists are not knowledgeable on proper layering techniques. It’s hard to trust just anyone.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that. Layering is definitely a technique that is learned after school in many cases. Which is truly unfortunate in many ways.
Great presentation.
The last 2 “exceptions” are my favorites.
I really wish you would do something for those of us who have curly hair and don’t want to straighten it. All the hairstyles are for straight hair. It is a struggle for those of us who prefer to keep our curls.
Thanks Justin! I learn a lot from your videos. Just wish I could verbalize this to a stylist so I could get what I want.
I’ve had some absolute howlers of hair cuts in the past. 😂 some literally have looked like they were cut with a knife and fork!
For anyone struggling with layers putting a bend in them with hair straighteners can disguise some of the straggly bits. I learned the hard way😢
I am a little late to the party but as I am trying to decide on a new style I searched your channel for ideas. Thank you for all the good information and examples as it does make it easier to envision. My hair is so fine/thin at the bottom of my length that you can see through it and I hate that. I am leaning towards a long bob and the layering info here will certainly help. Thanks Justin!
Thank you for all of the analysis and assistance with haircutting dos and don'ts. It is so helpful.
It has been really difficult to communicate effectively to a hairdresser what exactly I have ever wanted. Lacking the right vocabulary and a little shyness or intimidation has always gotten in the way. Your videos really dispel some of the issues. I usually cut my own hair, and your guidance is really so helpful! Reassuring! The last two cuts that ‘break’ the layering rules do NOT appeal to me - don’t seem to really work. They look way too shaggy, stringy and a bit too fussy and labor intensive to achieve and maintain the rather intended wind blown or messy look. It truly is quite a dance of grace and elegance and expertise to watch you bring about the best hair design and cut every time! Since the pandemic I have let my hair grow long and longer! Gradually I am allowing the natural ‘halo’ of silvery tendrils frame my otherwise light to medium brown locks. Now…I love the trailing length, but question how much if any trimming - yearly - will not compromise the romance I am having with long hair!
Agree - this video is also really useful if you've got an idea what style you want, then you can look at a hairstylist's work with a more discerning eye so you know what your looking for and you can see what they've done previously.
I'm pretty sure that most stylists have certain go-to ways of cutting and especially with newer less classic styles some stylists just wouldn't know where to start, might try and give you what you want but without experience its really hit & miss.
Obviously it depends on the individual stylists skills, education, continuing training, era, analytical skills, experience with your hair type etc.
Please include naturally wavy/curly hair in your examples on these videos.
This makes so much sense to me. This is exactly what I'vebeen trying to find in a stylist!!!
What fun! Thank you. I get what you're talking about. I think a major factor in whether a cut&style works for me or not is if it works with curly and thinning hair. The styles you showed at the end of this video were both on women who I think have naturally curly hair. I like both those styles, but the brunette at the end is probably closest to what works for me. Everything else you said so makes sense. Kudos!
Love the information and especially the laughs!
Thank you! I try to laugh as often as possible, usually it ends up being at myself! Lol
I get it. I liked almost all of the styles on your no no list.
And followed your opinion on how to make your exceptions work.
Like everything else one size or style does NOT fit all. Give us more, I liked it. Good job!🙂👍
I did learn a lot from your examples. Every video I watch of yours is very informative and somewhat entertaining! So glad I stumbled upon your channel about a year ago.❤
Ok, it was awesome. 😁 I actually got my hair cut medium length almost a year ago and the hairstylist did too many layers at the bottom for my thin hair, not as dramatic as what you showed but I instantly knew it was wrong, I've been on a crisis for this long trying to make it look decent while it grows 😭
Thank you for this video. Right on time. I have thick curly hair, but when I wear it straight, it’s nice. I’m wearing a shoulder length bob right now but I’ve been debating on having my hairdresser take out the bulk from the bottom of the bob. It’s too thick in that area. It’s either that or long layer the bob.🤷🏻♀️
You can definitely take Buck out of the bottom if you’re wearing it curly or wavy. If you remove bulk, just ensure that you don’t remove too much around the ears were in front of the ears is that’s where I can start to get almost thin looking.
The one at the end with the dark hair doing all of the wrong things looks amazing! She does rock it. I love haircuts like that.
It’s so much harder with curly hair to get it right. It’s either too thin on the bottom or too bulky .
Very helpful. I've become leery of layers but I'm still considering getting curtain bangs. If I do, I'll be sure to ask that they be connected to the rest of my hair. Thanks for the tips!
I don’t blame you, Larin can be your best friend or your worst enemy! If you do curtain bangs, make sure you like the idea of the center part, and that it works for your face shape and hair texture. If not curtain bangs can be a struggle for people.
I love seeing what not to do! This video was very helpful to me, and I have been doing here for 43 years. So keep it up!
This was pretty good info, thank you. Makes me remember a couple of these I had and that they didn't work for the reasons you stated. I would like to to mention one hairstyle that not EVERYONE should wear: parted right straight down the middle. Just not flattering on everyone and all face shapes or ages. I'll be so glad when that trend is over. It's way too cookie cutter and again, doesn't do justice to many otherwise pretty faces (too harsh!). Thanks Justin!
Fabulous video! (The model at 11:27 looks amazing; so true she's rocking the look). Several years ago a stylist did the thing to me where she made the bottom layers too thin. I felt like Carol Brady of The Brady Bunch. I hated it, and it's not what I wanted. The stylist was more concerned with her phone call than what she was doing to my hair. I ended up going somewhere else, and getting it cut super short to correct her mess. Thank goodness my hair grows like weeds! 😺
Could you do a video recommending hair styles for women with small heads and delicate facial features?
Definitely a great idea for a future video! I’ll keep it in mind for sure. Thank you so much for that!
Justin your videos are so informative and made me realize a lot of stuff about hairstyles and cutting layers or not layers. Thank you so much
Love the way you explain things - it just makes sense! Many thanks
Thank you so much for doing this video!! I have always wanted the "right" medium cut but always ended up with the "wrong" one. When explaining what I wanted from the length of the front, crown and bottom, I've always gotten " I know what I'm doing" vibe. It has gotten to the point where I no longer go to a salon, my hair is now basically one length and I do my own trims and shaping. I'm now an older woman and I'm finally happy with how my hair looks every day!
When we cut our own hair, at least we listen to what we want, and are not offended when it doesnt look quite right yet.
Exactly!
