You are so fun to watch! I've been buzzing my hair for years, and yes, I am a straight-up perfectionist! And I've really screwed my hair up at times. When that happens, I just wear a ball cap till it grows out a bit. So, finally, after nearly shaving my head bald a few times, I'm about to get the hang of it. This is what works for me: I use a retractable mirror that I attached to the wall in the bathroom near the sink. Above the sink, I have a medicine cabinet with a 3-sided mirror that I use along with the retractable mirror. That way, I can cut the back of my hair and the sides easily. Another thing I learned to do is use my right and left hand interchangeably. That method works great for me. You did a fantastic job cutting your hair, and it looks great on you! Happy cutting!
Fell about laughing with the comment of screwing up more than once. Had my hair cut yesterday came home hated it and you guessed it, got stuck into it myself... tomorrow I'll go out and buy a cap or maybe a skimask or I may have to stay indoors till about May. LONG LIVE THE DO IT OURSELVES ERS
I just found out my cancer just came back, I want so badly to cut my hair short my own way and you just completely inspired me to get in the bathroom and just do it to hell with the results, Thank you for your tutorial and your upbeat personality!
Growing out my hair post chemo and really feeling like I had aged so much. Went and got a pro haircut this week, cutting off all the chemo curls, but just didn't love it. Was tooling around looking for next hair options and you really inspired me! I watched your video and then grabbed the clippers and got to work. Love the end result! Thank you so much! And it really *did* feel great to remove all that hair! Freedom!
Wow your eyes stand out even more. I was getting nervous over here. Lol! But it actually turned out great. You go girl! Looks great on you👍🏻😊Beautiful!
I'd just like to say thank you for giving me the courage to try to cut my own pixie at home! I've never done it before but I was SO SICK of my long hair. All I ever did was pull it up into a hair clip, and it had no life, and it was boring lol. I shed a few tears during my first haircut attempt, but I've got it to a place where I can live with it for now and hopefully I'll get better at it each time I do a trim. H O P E F U L L Y. Anyway, thank you!
YES !!! Her confidence rubbed off on me first time I stumbled upon her videos awhile ago. Do it, and the learning curve is tough at first, but you’ll get better. You know the diff between a mess-up and a good cut is only couple of weeks in a worse case scenario 🤣
Wow, thank you for such kind words and keeping me updated on how it's going. I still flub up my haircuts every once in a while but overall I think I'm getting better over time. I'll probably be really good by the time I can't hold my arms over my head anymore.🤣
I wish I had found your video sooner! I did this last night, almost the exact cut. Yours looks a lot better! You know what they say though, "The difference between a good haircut and a bad one, is TWO WEEKS". I just have 13 days to go!! Hahaha
Omg thank you! I've been waiting for the perfect pixie self cutting tutorial and I can't wait to get my pixie back! Long hair has been fun but I'm ready 💖 great video 😊
I learned a lot watching the way you went about the cut... I am a do it myself as well .. have had a few epic fails, but your video helps a lot.... thank you.
What will help with getting rid of lines is using your lever in between guards. For instance if you use a 2 guard and lever it down you will have a 2 1/2 guard. Lever up and you have an exact 2. Also thinning shears in between are also great for blending those lines.
Stacy you can also put on longer guards - up to 2.5” - and use for the top part. Simply part your hair or comb the front forward . Then take the clippers and pull in through your hair like a comb. Basically, instead of “pushing” the clippers UP through your hair you “pull” it through the top, sides, and back like you would comb your hair.
My last short cut at a salon was awful. Got worse as it grew. I’d cut my hair through the Covid shutdowns and they weren’t too bad so decided to blow the cobwebs off the clippers and give it a go after watching you do yours and your method. I’m Trying not to be too fussy. I’m a Virgo and I try too hard for perfection 🥴. A real curse. I’m 75, white n grey hair with a semipermanent blonde so when I take my glasses off the fun begins, it’s all braille from then on 🤣. I now have a bra full of hair and a pretty neat clipper job with a long fringe (bangs). So many thanks for you’re vid, it was extremely helpful. 🇦🇺🦘💥
as usual you do a great cut I love the nape you have it is very cute. the natural brown is very nice. Keep this cut for a long time it is great ,wish i had the guts LOL
I've been cutting my own hair for about 10 years or more and years ago I picked up a cheap 3-way mirror that hangs off the back of my bathroom door An absolute ESSENTIAL part of my hair-cutting tools! Helps so much to have both hands free while being able to see the back of your head!
Thanks Stayce I always keep my hair short like yours but have always done it with scissors and can’t get the lower back as short as I would like. Now after watching your vidio I have confidence to use the clippers, thanks again.
Hi Stacy! Wonderful woman with a wonderful haircut! I love to watch doing your haircut by your own! I am watching your channel since your first uploud and I love your content. Please never change your nice and lively way to be. You are a wonderful mom, too. Greetings from Germany!🤩
Hello sweet beautiful friend, I was browsing videos and this one came up. This is one of my favorite cuts you have done. I really miss seeing your videos. Hope you and your family are doing well. ❤
Hello sweet beautiful friend! Absolutely love this cut on you. I think you look so amazing this short. You always make me smile. Your the best. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Love you!
I think this short haircut looks fabulous on you really suits you beautifully well done. So many ladies enjoy clipper cut short hair now its great. It would be lovely to see you in a barbers shop too getting a nice clippercut if someone could film you. Well done💈💈👍❤️
I have very short hair like yours, I tried cutting but decided the barber was better. People with long hair will not understand how good it fells when it's cut.
I cut my hair short 2 days ago😋. I always separate my top in many little tails cause it's easier for me. But I'm really bad in fading 😮💨, so I normally end with an undercut. I love your haircut.😍
Hi! I am impressed with your ability! Love your new look. Very becoming!! I enjoy watching hair stylists at work creating. It’s relaxing. Do you present in any other form? More than hair? Take good care!
I’ve been cutting my hair for 35+ years. Never liked any haircuts I have gotten..ever. So save that $..and whatever happens, it will grow back!🤪 I have had a few issues with my clippers when I got a little bit too zealous! Enter the comb-over!🎉😂-2 weeks and gone. I’ve watched a few of your videos and got some tips-thanks! Ps… I like the voice overs because it seems to speed things up in the process and not do much endless repeats. But WHY have the music? Makes things hard to hear at times ..I wonder why this is a trend now.. 🤷♀️ Your videos are so fun.. thanks!
Love your videos so much fun have you ever thought of a buzz cut seeing short hair really brings your features out like a number four on top and the sides the way you have it now or even shorter as you say your hair grows fast
I use Rave daily or Kenra 25 hairspray for a firmer hold. I prefer hairspray because it's a faster application than putty or paste. I also use Tactile dry texture spray by sexy hair for a dry fiber look.
@@thestacystory166 i know it’s been awhile since you did this. I think you could have pulled off even a #4 top with2 on sides n back. But then again I love short on women.
@@thestacystory166 Hi, Stacy.I clip upwards just under my bone. With scissors I graduate the length as I work upward taking it into a short wedge cut. I have LOTS of cowlicks, UNBELIEVABLY SO! My hair .... VERY tricky. It all pushes itself upward in the back so that's how it gets adorned everyday! Looks ok for what I have to work with.

Prayers for you
Oh Lisa, I’m so sorry about your cancer! Words cannot express how much I detest it. Best of luck with your hair !
I am so sorry❤
Lisa, I am sorry for the cancer, and I wish you healing prayers.

@thestacystory166 Love watching the results. Like you cut my own pixie, though no trimmers only precision hair scissor.
Good on you and hope you
Return to good health asap.
Wow your eyes stand out even more. I was getting nervous over here. Lol! But it actually turned out great. You go girl! Looks great on you👍🏻😊Beautiful!
Thank you so much! I like it too!

Good job, your natural hair colour is really beautiful!!
Absolutely love your videos, love your pixie cut
Thanks so much Lori!😊
Best cut yet!!
Thanks Jimmie!😁😊

You are a delightful lady, and your cut is gorgeous. It really suits you.😊
I was transfixed! You have such a pretty face this suits you perfectly. I just found it so liberating…WELL DONE ✔️🤩

Love this video I decided to do my own pixie and not pay 55-60 just to get it shaved. I love it. Thank you for the guidance.
Brilliant video. It just takes practice. Just do it. Best thing I have ever done.
Loved it! 😂
Looks fabulous!
Thanks!😊😊
You did a great job 👍😍
Hope you kept this look it really suits you ❤
Love your new cut
Thanks a lot Mike!
I love your commentary on this video😂!
Why thank you😁
love this cut:)
STUNNING !!
😊 Thanks!
Super cute...I cut my own hair short too, it's fun!
Yes it is! It's so satisfying 😁
Your "before" is the way I like my hair cut!
It is the best soccer mullet.... you make that chore (hair cutting) look easy.
That was GREAT!
I have very short hair like yours, I tried cutting but decided the barber was better. People with long hair will not understand how good it fells when it's cut.
So true!
Exceptional. I hope I can do something similar. Thank you for your independent bravery. 🎉
Wow, thank you so much!😊
Love it during covid here in UK my husband cut my hair not sur if l have the bottle to do it myself but you are inspiring me to have a go
Thank you so much!😊😁
I cut my hair short 2 days ago😋. I always separate my top in many little tails cause it's easier for me. But I'm really bad in fading 😮💨, so I normally end with an undercut. I love your haircut.😍

Thank you so much Marylynne! I have videos on all sorts of topics on my channel.
Stunning haircut !! You look amazing !!
Thank you so much!
I have a very bad too short pixie ! How many days until it starts to grow ??
Cute! Wish I had the nerve. If I'd had this video during covid, I might have tried it.
Love it!!!
1. Do you have any formal training? 2. Is this video time lapsed? 3. There is no fear, hesitation or second guessing on your part! Great job.
Thank you so much and yes, I'm a cosmetologist and have practiced for over 20 years. Also yes, this video is sped up.

You rock!!!!
Thank you so much!❤️
Much prettier with the short natural color. You should try a #6 or # 8 on top
I seriously debated using a #7 on the top!😁
@@thestacystory166 i know it’s been awhile since you did this. I think you could have pulled off even a #4 top with2 on sides n back. But then again I love short on women.
It looks great that short. Are we getting any more, perhaps even shorter
She looks really cute!
😊😊😊
You look so beautiful!
Oh thank you! 😊😁
Thanks very much for the video!
Thanks for watching!😊
Cute! You go at just like I do mine , although I don't clipper cut as short and high as you. Nice job!
Thank you so much Carol! How high do you go with your clippers?

The clippers made quick work of your back and sides 😂😂💈
I would love to do this! My hair is past my butt, and I'm pretty tired of it!
Looking looking great,well done.,🌟⭐👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Golly. Great job and the result looks very good on you. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Dennis!😊
Stunning 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩❤️❤️

Very very beautiful 🙏
I really like it a lot.🙇👏💋😍💖

Love it. But don't have the guts to go too short😊
Super haircut
Thanks so much!
If you got a "Stand" mirrow, it would be easier for you to cut the back. Success to ya...
Thanks so much Frank! great idea!
Love it x
Thank you so much Carol!
You look great!
Thank you so much!😊
Love it ❤️
Thanks Trisha!😁

Ficou lindo!! Perfeito!! 😘😘
