Thank you so much! I've been searching for a tutorial for this for such a long time! I don't think it's out of fashion, it's so simple and elegant that is timeless. Thanks again!
I learned this cut in Beauty School and loved doing it but you've made it much simpler. I remember over-directing the hair in the wedge part so the hair would naturally flow to the back. Enjoyed this.
Thank you so much ! I'm really looking forward to see more short classic haircut styles videos especially back to 80s and 90s , because it's rare to find any tutorial , thanks again :)
Yes you’re absolutely right it is rare to find tutorials from that era they just want a thing then, I will do my best to bring you as many as I can 😁👍🏻
Had a client pull this haircut out from her long ago photo album and I honestly had no idea ...thanks to this video I will be much more confident next time! Thank you!
I’ve been wanting to know how to do this for so long! And you have answered so many questions that I wanted to know! Thank you! Please keep making more tutorials x
Love this haircut James. I wanted to thank you for all you do to help the new guys who are just learning. Thank you very much!! May God Bless you sir!! Jeff S.
Ironically this haircut is making a comeback due in part I believe to The Crown miniseries. I've been looking for a shorter cut that isnt too short and was thinking about the Diana cut. Thanks for your tutorial.
I agree with Melisa... I subscribed within seconds! I had this haircut at one point in my life. I was taught this at the Sassoon school in Santa Monica! Beautifully executed and explained! Thank you for sharing! ❤️
thank you for ur simple quick version of lady diana's do. you are a help to me I've studies sasson style in l.a. London n nj. usa .not enough works yet helped for a long time now 2023 looking into more for focus better detail works n fulfilling the whole gamut of ABC n freehand with 2023 effects n style. thank u again..n your one of my star go to's
James I think this is more All time favourite haircut to both cut and watch being cut. As always your explanations are so simple and easy to understand Please don’t change!!! Bravo you 👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much I had this cut through the '80s and 90's. I've been trying to get this cut at salons for 0ver 10years butt no one can do it. I have sent this link to a hairdresser and hopefully, I can get my classic gorgeous cut again.
I am a huge fan of the classics once you understand the classics the rest is easy I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos Tracy thank you for watching thank you for commenting.
@@TheLifeOfHair I am a freelancer live in Amman Jordan and we don't have schools here on the level of your education so it's been a tremendous prevliage for me to find your channel 🤗🤗
I’ve been watching some documentaries of her and it looks like it was the base shape you made, but even more layered over the top, right? It even looks like when they were layering they didn’t over direct the area in front of the ears back to keep it a bit longer. It all looks connected and feathery. I’ve been using this as a basis for all my round grad haircuts, varying elevation, and it makes so much sense to me, and i wiz thru haircuts much quicker now! Thank you so much!
Wonderful SJ glad you are enjoying using graduation in this Amana from the standpoint of Lady Diana so I would say that there is many variations on the same theme over the years summer or layered summer more weighty through the sides and the top like when she became Engaged to Charles but in a nutshell they are all variations on the same thing
Thanks so much for this vid! Like you said it’s a foundational shape, and I’ve found all I need to do to modernize it is do some different things to the top like disconnect the fringe, layer it, etc. Will you do a video of round graduation (like a bowl) with some modern tweaks like you did in the pixie video?
Ah thank I am so pleased you have found my videos interesting, yes absolutely there are some great tweets to ad to the bowl that is a great idea look out for a video all about that 😁👍🏻
Can I ask you a question please James how did you find your confidence please something which I struggle with sometimes thank you love your videos fantastic content x
Hi Mandi, well the best advice I can give you is find some time in your week To do some dedicated practice I love practising I’ve cut many hundreds of mannequin heads over the years and real-life models/clients but practising when you’re working is very difficult so finding the time to practice something very specific is very important the more I practised the more confident I became. 😁✌🏻
@@TheLifeOfHair thank you so much I appreciate the reply ! I have learnt so much from you I start my new job on Tuesday, I'm excited and I'm going to keep practicing thanks again !
What’s your secret on having both sides of head even? Mainly the length? I always struggle with keeping the same, and on short hairstyles, left side of the head (layers) always end up being shorter (I’m right handed and always start on left size, then move on to right)
Getting both sides to balance can be very tricky for me to get both sides to balance the same is that I just have a rough gauge in my head as to exactly how much hair I’ll hold out away from the head I normally start on the right hand side when I’m cutting this type of shape and then I try and roughly cut exactly the same on the opposite side I do always obviously air on the side of caution with the opposite side to the side that I can reduce the length down Necessary I know that doesn’t give you any comprehensive tips or tricks to exactly how I get the same length and both sides but that’s how I did the process
I'd like to have the same haircut but I have a small and narrow forehead so fringes don't suit me... and worse I can't stand hair falling on my face... so the same cowlick and ponytail for ages(
Requested this cut at the Beverly Hills Sassoon salon. Not only didn't get this cut but the clueless creative director cut my hair so awful that I have to let it grow out till at least Nov. 2021.
Old school basics for so many options. Thanks for sharing that! Couldn't listen to the vid...music was too loud and disjointed....my brain cuts out...lol.
Heather G Thanks for the comment Heather keeping the old school alive. noted on the music front,You’re absolutely right it is three dB higher than normal I was always wondering whether the music was too loud but not, thank you Much appreciated your feedback. 😁🙏🏻
Are thank you Heather that is a manikin head that are used in my highlighting cast for Redken sometime last year, I don’t run the highlighting crossed for Redken any more sadly, but I still do it as a in salon coaching day. 👍🏻
this cut is simply a "firefly cut" not princess diana had like this , diana had her nape hair almost 4 inches longer solid 0 degree , sides 45 graduation , top horse shoe she had 90 degree square , innit ?
OMG that's the 90s lesbian p.e. teacher hair cut! You got it perfect and are a master hair stylist but part of me wants this video to not exist as it might go viral. This haircut was everywhere and please don't make a come back. 😂
Absolutely Patricia course I can I am based in Brighton UK I’m currently on furlough due to coronavirus but if Brighton UK is feasible for you then I will be back at work hopefully on the 4th of July
This is NOT the classic Princess Diana haircut lol. Maybe in her later years, but THE Diana haircut was what she had when she married Prince Charles, and that was more like a longer firefly that was feather. This is basically just a longer pixie. 🙄
![Felix "Unfair" | [Stray Kids : SKZ-PLAYER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Oswujxm2Ag0/mqdefault.jpg)
I predict this cut is going to make a huge comeback soon. Thank you so much for sharing !
Yes so do I funnily enough
I'm here because I had a client want this yesterday
I had a very short pixie that's been growing and it's looking like this haircut right now. I loooove it!!
I want her haircut but I’m afraid the stylist might not get the shape quite right. :( it’s pretty
Thank you so much! I've been searching for a tutorial for this for such a long time! I don't think it's out of fashion, it's so simple and elegant that is timeless. Thanks again!
You are very welcome, Delia I am very glad my video was what you was looking for ✌🏻😁
James . Beautiful haircut. I have seen this haircut before .Thanks
Thank you very much Jamie
I learned this cut in Beauty School and loved doing it but you've made it much simpler. I remember over-directing the hair in the wedge part so the hair would naturally flow to the back. Enjoyed this.
It’s such a cracking cut a great technique for discipline 👍🏻
Thank you! I had a client that wanted that type of cut,and was clueless so thank you very much!
I don't think this style will ever go out of fashion
Thank you so much !
I'm really looking forward to see more short classic haircut styles videos especially back to 80s and 90s , because it's rare to find any tutorial , thanks again :)
Yes you’re absolutely right it is rare to find tutorials from that era they just want a thing then, I will do my best to bring you as many as I can 😁👍🏻
Thank you James I love these classics as they teach us things we may or may not already know but with more understanding

Can you do a cutting video for the client who says 'I like it really layered' for medium/long hair?
hairbyadamphilip Yes I absolutely can make that video Adam thanks for the comment 😁👍🏻

Absolutely Patricia course I can I am based in Brighton UK I’m currently on furlough due to coronavirus but if Brighton UK is feasible for you then I will be back at work hopefully on the 4th of July
Precision cut but it looks nothing like Princess Diana's iconic hairstyle.
Her hair was longer then this one.
😂
music sounds like a drunk grasshopper. UK hairdresser showing a haircut of a Royal with THAT music 🙉🤮
Hahaha yes good point I love your comments
This is NOT the classic Princess Diana haircut lol. Maybe in her later years, but THE Diana haircut was what she had when she married Prince Charles, and that was more like a longer firefly that was feather. This is basically just a longer pixie. 🙄
Not like Princess Diana's I'm afraid
Such an ugly boring haircut...but so important to know.
Absolutely B L bang on the money 👍🏻😁
