I've been cutting my own hair most of my life...and often haphazardly. I just followed this video and got exactly the layered cut that I've been trying to achieve for years. Now I know how to do it right. Thank you so much.
@ann275 I've done the same. I don't know if I'll follow this video; I have my own technique that's much easier but after reading your nice, happy comment, perhaps I will give it a go one day. It's worth a try :) Thank you, Ann :)
Great demonstration, thank you! I've been cutting my own hair for many, many years exactly the way you just demonstrated. It took many tries to get the layered look just right for my curly hair. I found that many professionals don't understand how curly hair doesn't look the same as long hair for the same haircut.
The only way I can tame my super wavy hair is to cut the points in. It's just so thick and there is so much of it. Every time I 'treat' myself to a salon I get scalped :(

@@Tanya-et3tk EXACTLY 😁👏🏼👏🏼! I'd LOVE to have a pro do it, and it be followed by me sipping a mimosa while they put little balayage foils in my hair, but DIY is what my wallet can afford right now 🥴🙃🤌🏻
I worked as an esthetician in a spa for 8 years. I use to cut my own layers for years. I would have the cosmetologists check it after I would cut it and they were blown away at how good I was at doing myself. I have all one length blunt cut now and haven’t had layers in years. This is a great video.
Thank You! I especially appreciated how you separated the hair into sections and explained why it needed to be done that way. Sometimes people tell us 'what' to do but without the "why". Knowing that helps me want to take the time to do it as explained so it actually comes out correctly. Realizing the angle of the scissors makes such a difference was also VERY helpful. Now, I need to watch your videos about blow drying hair. Nicely done!
Thank you so much for teaching so that amateurs can understand and confidently follow. I have always cut my own hair from teenage and have learned by trial and error. After your tutorials I know there'll be less "error". Love your talking one through all the way, and love your sincere presentation with bits of humour coming through. Please continue!
Great! But I'm curious: do you have thin or thick hair? I think thick hair is much riskier, so I'm wondering if someone with thick hair actually managed this!

@@streetofdreams4538 it really depends on your patience and tolerance for holding your arms above your head for long periods. My hair isnt super thick but i normally keep it long, and long hair is hard enough to trim in layers without the added stress of having super thick hair.
Love this tutorial. I have very dense, coarse, long and wavy hair. I just did this at home to take some weight off of my hair and it looks great. I went for shorter layer and my curls look healthier now. Thanks a ton!
Thanks Salon Guy! This actually helped me go from a disaster to compliments. From a gal who pulls no punches. I am no whiz but carefully following along “oh what a relief it is!”. Recommend.
Phenomenal job cutting and teaching! Great haircut! Been cutting my own hair in layers for years to save money and time. I just pull it in a ponytail and cut straight across with zigzag scissors and voila. Your technique will help jazz up my haircut for special occasions. I will have to take more time, but it will be worth it! Thank you!
Thank you for this tutorial. I did just as you said and gave myself a beautiful haircut that my husband loved. Thank you as I am a visual learner and your instruction was fabulous. Thank you
I cut my own hair all the time, but always made mistakes. I'm not a hairstylist. This tutorial gave me perfect layers and I'm psyched!!! Now I can perfect my haircuts!!! Thank you!!!
Did you know when you bought this mannequin that her expression would make so many of us laugh? She was an excellent choice. We've all had that look at least once when getting our hair cut. 😂😂 (You are the best though)
Ohh myyy gooood! 😍 I just gave myself a beautiful metamorph! It took me over 2 hours (my hair length is similar to your model), one banana and shoulders pain but it was absolutely worth it!!! 😍 I'm in love! Thank you so much 🤩
I love all your videos,& watch you even when I’m not thinking of cutting my hair. Thank you for your efforts. I took cosmetology in high school, continued later, but didn’t finish. I’m one of those people who cut their own hair, only bc no one, in the last 25 years, no one has gotten it right (except a lady 5 states away). It doesn’t seem to matter if I take in 6-7 pics at different angles, it’s like they’re somehow suddenly blind,& I walk out with what is a nice or ok cut, but not what I asked for. Thank you.
Talk about disasters...I've had so many at the hairdressers. I'd love to know what your philosophy is on thinning thick hair. So many hairdressers have been too scissor-happy and ended up chopping into my hair so much with thinning scissors, leaving unsightly gaps and unintentional shorter sections. Traumatising..
This is why I actually started cutting my own hair, I felt like I couldn't trust people, it was one too many hack jobs or getting overly excited with the thinning shears. Just that word makes me cringe now - Even with photos they would always do something to change it to what they thought looked better. I'm sorry, I'm not paying that much money to walk around feeling badly and self conscious about my looks for the next 2-3mths
This is why I looked up this video. The woman who cut my hair SHREDDED my hair to thin it. Which is fine, if it's hidden underneath, but she did it on the top layer. My hair looks frayed and unhealthy.
Thank you. Cutting hair is an skill which takes years to master. I appreciate the proffesional skills of a trained hairdresser. You made this look easy. Thanks for sharing.
Great video! I have checked several different videos of other people who teaches how to do the layer, but your one was the best! I am going to cut my daughter's hair today with your instructions. Thanks so much xxx
My hair is naturally curly. It has it's own mind about directions. So when I trim the back carefully, it wouldn't matter if I had a slight V in the back. My hair dries shorter and curls in various directions. I cut layers a little shorter than this; then I scrunch and tip my head upside down for a few and dry on low. After years of attempting to straighten it; I gave in and allow it to be. I get a lot of compliments on it and it's gray.
This tutorial was excellent I’ve been cutting my moms hair and my own and my friend is a hair dresser and she taught me to do one mens cut and I’ve been wanting to do my own style in a new way
Thank you for your tutorial, my hair is very thick, been cutting my hair for quite some time now, just wanted to get a professional approach on it, it seems like when I get it done they don't do it right. The back part of the hair seems to be the trouble area, just want it to feel lighter instead of being so heavy
Loved the video..........I am "styling tool impaired" (and have the burn marks on the back of my neck from trying to use a curling iron to prove it!) so cutting my own hair is gonna be a challenge, to put it mildly. I think I will watch this several more times before even investing in a good pair of shears. I thought your jokes were funny and I think you explained what you were doing and WHY very well. I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to watching more videos!
@@dreamcatcherismylifesuppor2348 No, I've given myself many haircuts. I was saying it was the second time I was doing a haircut with this particular video.
Came for the shocked mannequin jokes. Left satisfied. Thanks interwebz. Thanks for this instruction. Very generous of you to teach your craft to the DIYers. Thank you good sir. 😎
I do my bfs hair at home and it looks really good lol, mind you I'm no professional and I don't plan on doing a living on this but I'm somehow better than most salons, can I layer? Nope and that's why I'm here, he wants layers eventually.
don keyballs There are lots of great videos on RUclips aimed at professionals. I watched a bunch of "how to cut your own hair at home" videos, followed up by several videos aimed at professionals about the basics of layering. (@thesalonguy 's video on perfect blended layers is also very helpful). My haircut came out great, and I can wear it straight or with my natural wave. The only thing is, the more I learn about cutting hair, the more I am enjoying it. I may end up with a pixie cut by the time there's finally a safe vaccine! 😂
@@billiev8705 im a trucker , not a professional hair stylist ,i have to go shop around , just to find a pair of hair cutting scizzors , cause iv never owed one
This would have been really helpful if you put that wig on your head and cut from that position. This video was for showing how to do a great cut on someone else’s head. 😊
I got lost after creating the length in the back. For the length on the sides, are you bringing a piece of of hair from the back to match front length, that’s where I couldn’t tell -thank you :)
I’ve cut my own longer hair for over ten years. I don’t mess it up anymore than the last salon cut I got. And $80-100 plus a tip is just to much for my budget.
I’m happy you did this video cause I just paid $60 (plus tip) at a salon for my hair to look like chopped shit… so… salons aren’t always great either lol
My hairdresser won't layer the sides of my hair at all! I would love my hair cut to look like that finished result, gr8 jokes lol, awesome hair stylist, but I just dern't attempt to layer it myself
I’m going to make my husband watch this and ask him to cut my hair. We sadly cannot afford to pay a professional to cut my hair or his so he just buzzes his head every couple months. And I just cut a couple inches off my girls hair every couple months. Otherwise I just leave mine be but I want a layered look so I’m hoping my husband will help me out.
I have only had 2 professional stylists who could actually cut layers properly. Having a license doesn’t necessarily mean they can cut hair so thank you for sharing this information. I get so tired of spending a LOT of money on crappy haircuts & ending up having to fix it at home.
oh this is so true which is why I am now doing my own grey roots and my own haircuts. Luckily we live in a very forgiving "Anything Goes" era, where people deliberately cut asymmetry and shaggy, etc. I have almost never had anyone cut my neck hair the way I wanted so this is why I finally decided. Layers I am really scared of so I am going about that a few at a time. Also I cut my hair every few days here and there to make it better and better. Olaplex system really helps to keep my lavender grey hair looking healthy and I am always surprised to get compliments all the time from all kinds of surprising varieties of people.
Truly, the license is 90% about not spreading infectious disease among humans. There is a practical method segment to it but it’s really outdated (speaking to MA state.) it’s mainly for the purposes of determining motor functions. The only way to know the modernness of hairdresser technique other than trial is to know where they had formal training. Not all schools are created equal.
The town in which I live I fear allowing anyone to touch my hair. I will attempt this as I cut my husband's hair and he thinks I have become better than any barber around here...wish me the best!!
Truest thing ever written. I have had about three good hair cuts in my life. Sometimes the stylists themselves can't replicate what they did. Rest were meh to awful. May as well screw it up myself than pay someone else to screw it up.
I often wish I could take my hair off especially at night. I have enough hair for 3 so it gets a bit much at times. It'd be nice to take my eyes out and let them have a soak in some cool cucumber water too.
Thank you for this. My teen daughter has extreme social anxiety and can’t go to the salon. I appreciate your tutorials. They are easy to follow and I feel confident I can give her a haircut like this!!
Completely understand we should go to a professional but with Covid and some sickness . I SO appreciate you doing this fir in between!!!!! Thank you thank you!!!!!! You’re a good person!!
Well, I'm going to have to attempt this, because I live in a town with no hairdressers less than 2 hours away and with Covid I'm certainly not traveling 2 hours for a haircut so that I have a lovely looking corpse. My mantra "It's only hair. It'll grow back if I really screw it up!" Since I have a ton of hair (literally every hairdresser has said, "I had no idea you had so much hair ") mistakes are par for the course. I'm a jewelry maker, and pretty dexterous, so I really can't do worse than that one lady at supercuts who left me looking butch when I showed her a picture of Jennifer Aniston's hair and said "Do that". Needless to say, she didn't even come close. So, here goes nothing!
I’m just tired of paying $100’s of dollars for my cuts and hate them! I show pics, I explain what I’m looking for and walk away feeling like they just did what they wanted to and that was that! Called one stylist back after 2 days and told her I still wasn’t happy, all she said was I don’t do refunds!
I work very long hours with almost no time off. My late husband used to cut my hair for me and I miss it so much. I've struggled with it recently. This tutorial is fabulous and I thank you for taking the time to show us (however reluctantly, lol) how to cut our own hair at home. You're awesome! Bless
I’ve watched your video a couple of times and decided to follow it to cut my hair this morning. I watched a segment, then stopped the video and cut. Then, I watched another segment and did the same thing until I was finished. It took me two hours. I washed my hair and the cut looks pretty good. I have curly hair so that makes it somewhat forgiving, but I felt like you really presented this well and it helped me a lot. Thank you.
My hair was trashed after trimming it myself for so long. Started watching videos on RUclips and ran across this. I watch this 45 minutes before I had to leave for work. You explained everything and it was so easy. I have very fine hair and then. I did a fast five minute job on it and it turned out great! I am going to watch the video again and do a little bit more thorough job. Wish I could find a hairstylist half as good as you!

As a teenager we used to literally throw our head forward, put our hair in a ponytail top and center and cut about 4” off. Take the ponytail out, throw our head upright and whall...la - layers. I told my hairdresser niece about that and she had a horrified look on her face - very similar to the mannequin. True 😂🤪🤣
You can still find it online as how to cut a shag haircut or how to give yourself a gypsy cut...I remember, too and frankly am rather desperate enough to give it a try...
I've seen the ponytail method on RUclips, but the people doing it always seem to have thin to medium-thick hair, but never very thick hair. Did any of you teenagers doing this happen to have thick hair?
@@streetofdreams4538 what's gonna happen is you will probably end up with very marked layers that may make your hair appear thicker on top than the bottom, it may puff up adding a lot of volume to your head. It also depends on your hair texture. If you're hair is wavy to curly, you will probably end up with an 80s shag. If it is straight, the cut will probably be more noticable if there are uneven parts, you will look like a chopped Barbie doll.
I liked how you explained everything and the haircut came out perfect and I will be able to do my own hair. I have always done my own hair and got many compliments ,but I tore both rotator cuffs so I needed a refresher course and you made it look so easy. Thank you!!!
When I layer my own hair, it’s 1 cut straight across. It’s all in the angle you hold the hair. I feel people are doing their own hair because salon prices are out the roof.
Not only the cost, but every carefully interviewed stylist at the carefully researched salon, listened very earnestly and intently to what I said I wanted, and then proceeded to give one of the standard cuts from her repertoire. I'm soooo done with professional salons.
They keep getting worse and worse. Part of the reason is they have to now wash the chairs because of COVID after each person. You must pay for every single thing that is used on your hair or anything to do with you So cleaning the chair and all detergents and lotions or styling gels etc you will be charged heavily. People who are capable of wearing a straight cut along the bottom of their hair ( especially is long) will just do it at home. They will not need to frame their face or try to layer. So it is easy to let it just hang straight and cut. Some can wear that style very nicely, some cannot. Those who can are very lucky with prices high and COVID etc. They have now learned to do it for themselves and others and save money I guess?
I absolutely detest having my hair cut in the hairdressers. I hate the apprentice washing my hair and missing bits, hate staring at myself in the mirror and the worst part is making small talk with the stylist. I have learned to do my own for these reasons.
@@tracik1277 I hate paying $50+ to get a haircut that I'm not happy with. If I'm going to be unhappy with it, I'd rather do it myself and pay $0. I have been cutting my own hair for 7 years, and in that time I've gotten one haircut at a salon, which I got because I forgot why I stopped going.
I just cut layers in my hair following this tutorial. Thank you so much for saving me a trip to the salon. The best part is that it made my curls more bouncy! I love it! I’ve been on a no heat, hair restoration journey ever since my hair decided that it wanted to be curly after I had to have a hysterectomy so this helped my hair look sooo much better! THANK YOU!!! 🙂
Me too!! I even went to diva curl stylist and I had a chopped mess!! I've found 2 people that can my hair and one is 100 miles away and the other is $50 plus tip. My hair grows so fast and I had learned just from my friend cutting it (the 100 mile away friend lol) all these years how to put some layers in. Layers are so essential for curly hair...the more the better!!! Plus there is a larger margin of error w cutting curly hair haha...the chopper the better!
I’ve been cutting my own hair since I was 14, I’m 61 now, I also cut my husband’s hair, I’ve been cutting many other people’s hair for years, I just couldn’t afford to go to school for it! I just like watching your videos and others to get tips and new ways to do cuts or new hairstyles. Thank you for the videos and tips! 😊
I’ve been cutting my own hair since 14, I cut my partners hair and I’m 61, your and my story is exactly the same. I didn’t have chance to go learn it either, I’m glad I’m not the only one, people think I’m mad but I’m not alone now lol !
@@victoriapereira8651 yes, I think people think it's weird or pathetic or that we're too cheap for doing our own hair, but they're just snobs and the truly pathetic ones for spending so much on something they could do themsleves. Unless I actually tell people, you wouldn't even know that I cut my and my 3 adult daughters' hair at home. We look like everyone else out there, in many cases even better.
@vgardner1688 All they know how to do these days is a basic face frame when you ask for layers! I've since learned that when students enter cosmetology school, there is basically no emphasis on hair cutting! It's all OHSA, state health code, coloring, and anatomy stuff. They have to take it upon themselves to get the state of the art haircutting skills!
Thanks for this tutorial! My mother doesn’t want to go to the hair dresser and she struggles to cut her own hair, so I am going to cut her hair for the first time in my life, and this is excellent tutorial, hope I don’t mess things up! D:
This guy deserves a raise. I don’t know what it is with his tutorials but his explanation on why how and why to do it, is sooooo much easier to learn and follow from. Long time Brando fan but right away this guy demonstrated an easier way for someone like me to learn better, thank you! I even love the pony tail cut tutorial on how to blend choppy cut too!
I can’t believe it I just cut layers into my own, elbow short hair following your video and it looks awesome! I was a little intimidated by all the steps, most of them made no sense to me at first but you’ve explained them in a way that I understood perfectly and it made my technique much better as a result! I’m so happy to have followed this video, you gave me confidence throughout the whole thing. Thank you so, so much !
This man is really good thank you Mr Barber I'm going to try layers but every time I try it doesn't come out right good luck to me and good luck to him also Gladys from Elizabeth New Jersey
Love your tutorials. Have always hated going to the salon as they never seem to cut my hair how I want them to. Now my hair looks exactly how I want thanks to you!....
I have to admit that I am a retired hairdresser and I happened to find this guy by accident , I ordered a small bottle of the 25 spray and I can't tell you how amazed I was that it worked so good !!!! It's the best stuff I have EVER used on my hair ( and believe me I've tried them all ) I eventually ordered a large bottle of 25 and use it every single day !!!! Thank you Salon Guy !!!!!
Red flags , the client looks terrified, and the hair expert HAS NO HAIR!!!!

Came for the shocked mannequin jokes. Left satisfied. Thanks interwebz. Thanks for this instruction. Very generous of you to teach your craft to the DIYers. Thank you good sir. 😎
I do my bfs hair at home and it looks really good lol, mind you I'm no professional and I don't plan on doing a living on this but I'm somehow better than most salons, can I layer? Nope and that's why I'm here, he wants layers eventually.
This is awesome. I have tried so many salons but I am so picky I always hate it
Just a trim off the ends ,is the most I'll attempt on myself ,layering u r own hair ,your a brave soul
don keyballs There are lots of great videos on RUclips aimed at professionals. I watched a bunch of "how to cut your own hair at home" videos, followed up by several videos aimed at professionals about the basics of layering. (@thesalonguy 's video on perfect blended layers is also very helpful). My haircut came out great, and I can wear it straight or with my natural wave. The only thing is, the more I learn about cutting hair, the more I am enjoying it. I may end up with a pixie cut by the time there's finally a safe vaccine! 😂

Best haircut teaching. It's how Beauty school teaches.
That mannequin looks scared to death 😂
She was fine that day lolol
@@TheSalonGuy HaHa!! I love it. It’s almost how I look when getting my haircut. 😂
My cut came out perfect! thank you so much !
This would have been really helpful if you put that wig on your head and cut from that position. This video was for showing how to do a great cut on someone else’s head. 😊
I’d like to add feathered bands to this cut. Maybe side bangs? Suggestions? Ty😊
Love the way you care for the hair,
I think your video was great! You explain things very well. Thanks so much!
I got lost after creating the length in the back. For the length on the sides, are you bringing a piece of of hair from the back to match front length, that’s where I couldn’t tell -thank you :)
I’ve cut my own longer hair for over ten years. I don’t mess it up anymore than the last salon cut I got. And $80-100 plus a tip is just to much for my budget.
Very well done, great explanation and very thorough thank you
Thx so much
❤❤❤❤❤❤ very helpful thank u.
Now I can have layers an not a chopped Bob cut lol
This took me bk to beauty school! ☺️ thank you!
You can watch my most recent video on this from a week ago.
That's exactly how I do it👍🏼
I’m happy you did this video cause I just paid $60 (plus tip) at a salon for my hair to look like chopped shit… so… salons aren’t always great either lol
Wow, I think I can watch this 10 times and not get it.... This looks professional and complicated 😆🙈
The look of shock and appall on the mannequins face 🤣
Messages and emails from women all across the world?
Nice ;)
Lmao 😂
Your videos are so helpful, Thank You!! Love the jokes too
i listen to him like a podcast while cutting my hair without any guide 💀💀
Can you do a podcast to cut top of hair and with bangs???
My hairdresser won't layer the sides of my hair at all! I would love my hair cut to look like that finished result, gr8 jokes lol, awesome hair stylist, but I just dern't attempt to layer it myself
Lol! The client looks like she's having a panic attack after getting her hair wet!
Good job! Thanks!

I’m going to make my husband watch this and ask him to cut my hair. We sadly cannot afford to pay a professional to cut my hair or his so he just buzzes his head every couple months. And I just cut a couple inches off my girls hair every couple months. Otherwise I just leave mine be but I want a layered look so I’m hoping my husband will help me out.
Am I the only one that noticed how frighten that mannequin facial expression is? 🤔
Best video I have seen
The mannequin's face is my mood when I cut my own hair without having any idea of what I am doing
😅🤣
Haha me too 💕
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Same 😭😂
😂😂😂😂😂
The client looks very concerned the whole video
LOL
😂
😂
I like your sense of humor......
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was hoping you would put a wig on your head then show us how to cut it.
Right
Hahah..good one
😂😂😂
Right?!! So funny!!
I did already lol
That mannequin looks a little rattled! What have you done to her? Blink if you need help.
She had a rough night lol
OMG. Rough night. 🙈🙈
😅
hehe :-) :-) :-)
@@TheSalonGuy WHAT LMAO
I have only had 2 professional stylists who could actually cut layers properly. Having a license doesn’t necessarily mean they can cut hair so thank you for sharing this information. I get so tired of spending a LOT of money on crappy haircuts & ending up having to fix it at home.
oh this is so true which is why I am now doing my own grey roots and my own haircuts. Luckily we live in a very forgiving "Anything Goes" era, where people deliberately cut asymmetry and shaggy, etc. I have almost never had anyone cut my neck hair the way I wanted so this is why I finally decided. Layers I am really scared of so I am going about that a few at a time. Also I cut my hair every few days here and there to make it better and better. Olaplex system really helps to keep my lavender grey hair looking healthy and I am always surprised to get compliments all the time from all kinds of surprising varieties of people.
Truly, the license is 90% about not spreading infectious disease among humans. There is a practical method segment to it but it’s really outdated (speaking to MA state.) it’s mainly for the purposes of determining motor functions.
The only way to know the modernness of hairdresser technique other than trial is to know where they had formal training. Not all schools are created equal.
The town in which I live I fear allowing anyone to touch my hair. I will attempt this as I cut my husband's hair and he thinks I have become better than any barber around here...wish me the best!!
Truest thing ever written. I have had about three good hair cuts in my life. Sometimes the stylists themselves can't replicate what they did. Rest were meh to awful. May as well screw it up myself than pay someone else to screw it up.
AMEN! I do some snipping when I get home too. Extremely tired of spending BIG bucks and then spending my time!
I have depression, and sometimes cant snap out of it, but just a glance at that mannequins face and im cured every time!😅
🤣
Mee Tooo! Loved the tutorial, I got a little giggle looking @ her face too, not sure why but I feel better. Depression sucks!
I hear you both😂🤣
Do whatever it takes to bring happiness into your life...Even if its simply looking at a mannequin. Take care 🙂
You made me laugh... thanks.
I wish I just could pop my head off like that mannequin 😭😂
I often wish I could take my hair off especially at night. I have enough hair for 3 so it gets a bit much at times. It'd be nice to take my eyes out and let them have a soak in some cool cucumber water too.
These comments are brilliant! 🤣
You can, but only once.
Omg I’m dying at your comment 😂
Thank you for this. My teen daughter has extreme social anxiety and can’t go to the salon. I appreciate your tutorials. They are easy to follow and I feel confident I can give her a haircut like this!!
this is so sweet of u!!
Wow I wish my parents were understanding of my social anxiety

Completely understand we should go to a professional but with Covid and some sickness . I SO appreciate you doing this fir in between!!!!! Thank you thank you!!!!!! You’re a good person!!
Yes, EXACTLY 💯
Well, I'm going to have to attempt this, because I live in a town with no hairdressers less than 2 hours away and with Covid I'm certainly not traveling 2 hours for a haircut so that I have a lovely looking corpse. My mantra "It's only hair. It'll grow back if I really screw it up!" Since I have a ton of hair (literally every hairdresser has said, "I had no idea you had so much hair ") mistakes are par for the course. I'm a jewelry maker, and pretty dexterous, so I really can't do worse than that one lady at supercuts who left me looking butch when I showed her a picture of Jennifer Aniston's hair and said "Do that". Needless to say, she didn't even come close. So, here goes nothing!
@@lorirepp4280 How did it turn out?
Likewise! Utterly tired of stylists cancelling 3 hours before my appointment. I'm going to buy some scissors and save some stress and money.
I’m just tired of paying $100’s of dollars for my cuts and hate them! I show pics, I explain what I’m looking for and walk away feeling like they just did what they wanted to and that was that! Called one stylist back after 2 days and told her I still wasn’t happy, all she said was I don’t do refunds!
You should have at least offered by them, to try & fix it!
Same! Im cutting it myself! They ALWAYS mess it up and have charged me $300 cause my hair is long 😒
Girl, $100 for a haircut???
👌🏻

I work very long hours with almost no time off. My late husband used to cut my hair for me and I miss it so much. I've struggled with it recently. This tutorial is fabulous and I thank you for taking the time to show us (however reluctantly, lol) how to cut our own hair at home. You're awesome! Bless
I'm so sorry for your loss
I’m so sorry this has happened to you sending you a big hug 🤗
@@tinacollins9213 Biggest hug right back! So kind of you. Thank you! Bless ❤

I'm so sorry for your loss
I’ve watched your video a couple of times and decided to follow it to cut my hair this morning. I watched a segment, then stopped the video and cut. Then, I watched another segment and did the same thing until I was finished. It took me two hours. I washed my hair and the cut looks pretty good. I have curly hair so that makes it somewhat forgiving, but I felt like you really presented this well and it helped me a lot. Thank you.
Did you do it on combed out curly hair or on dry curls?
Did you do it on combed out wet hair or on dry curls?
i was wondering too if it was wet or combed out dry
My hair was trashed after trimming it myself for so long. Started watching videos on RUclips and ran across this. I watch this 45 minutes before I had to leave for work. You explained everything and it was so easy. I have very fine hair and then. I did a fast five minute job on it and it turned out great! I am going to watch the video again and do a little bit more thorough job. Wish I could find a hairstylist half as good as you!
Thx so much!

As a teenager we used to literally throw our head forward, put our hair in a ponytail top and center and cut about 4” off.
Take the ponytail out, throw our head upright and whall...la - layers.
I told my hairdresser niece about that and she had a horrified look on her face - very similar to the mannequin. True 😂🤪🤣
“Voila,” it’s French. Not wall...la. 😂😂
@@laurenleclair5181 doesnt matter. we got it :) good to know though :D
You can still find it online as how to cut a shag haircut or how to give yourself a gypsy cut...I remember, too and frankly am rather desperate enough to give it a try...
I've seen the ponytail method on RUclips, but the people doing it always seem to have thin to medium-thick hair, but never very thick hair. Did any of you teenagers doing this happen to have thick hair?
@@streetofdreams4538 what's gonna happen is you will probably end up with very marked layers that may make your hair appear thicker on top than the bottom, it may puff up adding a lot of volume to your head. It also depends on your hair texture. If you're hair is wavy to curly, you will probably end up with an 80s shag. If it is straight, the cut will probably be more noticable if there are uneven parts, you will look like a chopped Barbie doll.
I allways wanted to have my head in front of me when I´m doing my hair....:)
I liked how you explained everything and the haircut came out perfect and I will be able to do my own hair. I have always done my own hair and got many compliments ,but I tore both rotator cuffs so I needed a refresher course and you made it look so easy. Thank you!!!
When I layer my own hair, it’s 1 cut straight across. It’s all in the angle you hold the hair. I feel people are doing their own hair because salon prices are out the roof.
Not only the cost, but every carefully interviewed stylist at the carefully researched salon, listened very earnestly and intently to what I said I wanted, and then proceeded to give one of the standard cuts from her repertoire. I'm soooo done with professional salons.
That’s for sure. It’s gotten ridiculous
They keep getting worse and worse. Part of the reason is they have to now wash the chairs because of COVID after each person. You must pay for every single thing that is used on your hair or anything to do with you So cleaning the chair and all detergents and lotions or styling gels etc you will be charged heavily. People who are capable of wearing a straight cut along the bottom of their hair ( especially is long) will just do it at home. They will not need to frame their face or try to layer. So it is easy to let it just hang straight and cut. Some can wear that style very nicely, some cannot. Those who can are very lucky with prices high and COVID etc. They have now learned to do it for themselves and others and save money I guess?
I absolutely detest having my hair cut in the hairdressers. I hate the apprentice washing my hair and missing bits, hate staring at myself in the mirror and the worst part is making small talk with the stylist. I have learned to do my own for these reasons.
@@tracik1277 I hate paying $50+ to get a haircut that I'm not happy with. If I'm going to be unhappy with it, I'd rather do it myself and pay $0.
I have been cutting my own hair for 7 years, and in that time I've gotten one haircut at a salon, which I got because I forgot why I stopped going.
I just cut layers in my hair following this tutorial. Thank you so much for saving me a trip to the salon. The best part is that it made my curls more bouncy! I love it! I’ve been on a no heat, hair restoration journey ever since my hair decided that it wanted to be curly after I had to have a hysterectomy so this helped my hair look sooo much better! THANK YOU!!! 🙂
Me too!! I even went to diva curl stylist and I had a chopped mess!! I've found 2 people that can my hair and one is 100 miles away and the other is $50 plus tip. My hair grows so fast and I had learned just from my friend cutting it (the 100 mile away friend lol) all these years how to put some layers in. Layers are so essential for curly hair...the more the better!!! Plus there is a larger margin of error w cutting curly hair haha...the chopper the better!
Hmmm. Estrogen loss? My hair changes from straight to wavy then curly every so many years. Hormonal changes...
I’ve been cutting my own hair since I was 14, I’m 61 now, I also cut my husband’s hair, I’ve been cutting many other people’s hair for years, I just couldn’t afford to go to school for it!
I just like watching your videos and others to get tips and new ways to do cuts or new hairstyles. Thank you for the videos and tips! 😊
I’ve been cutting my own hair since 14, I cut my partners hair and I’m 61, your and my story is exactly the same. I didn’t have chance to go learn it either, I’m glad I’m not the only one, people think I’m mad but I’m not alone now lol !
@@victoriapereira8651 yes, I think people think it's weird or pathetic or that we're too cheap for doing our own hair, but they're just snobs and the truly pathetic ones for spending so much on something they could do themsleves. Unless I actually tell people, you wouldn't even know that I cut my and my 3 adult daughters' hair at home. We look like everyone else out there, in many cases even better.
There hasnt been ANY stylists since the 80's that have known how to cut layers!! Ive been trying to find someone for years
Try a female barber.
Exactly. I bring in pictures & they look at me like a deer in headlights.
@vgardner1688 All they know how to do these days is a basic face frame when you ask for layers!
I've since learned that when students enter cosmetology school, there is basically no emphasis on hair cutting! It's all OHSA, state health code, coloring, and anatomy stuff.
They have to take it upon themselves to get the state of the art haircutting skills!
Thanks for this tutorial! My mother doesn’t want to go to the hair dresser and she struggles to cut her own hair, so I am going to cut her hair for the first time in my life, and this is excellent tutorial, hope I don’t mess things up! D:
Kayley Melissa also did a “Sister cuts my hair” video that was helpful.
I don't think she made it guys 😳😉🤣😂🤣😂😘😂
Same here. I'm cutting my grandmother's hair at home so she doesn't risk getting COVID.
The look on the mannequin's face....Lol! She looks very worried even before you start.
This guy deserves a raise. I don’t know what it is with his tutorials but his explanation on why how and why to do it, is sooooo much easier to learn and follow from. Long time Brando fan but right away this guy demonstrated an easier way for someone like me to learn better, thank you! I even love the pony tail cut tutorial on how to blend choppy cut too!
I can’t believe it I just cut layers into my own, elbow short hair following your video and it looks awesome! I was a little intimidated by all the steps, most of them made no sense to me at first but you’ve explained them in a way that I understood perfectly and it made my technique much better as a result! I’m so happy to have followed this video, you gave me confidence throughout the whole thing. Thank you so, so much !
Hello! You did all of his steps by your own?
This man is really good thank you Mr Barber I'm going to try layers but every time I try it doesn't come out right good luck to me and good luck to him also Gladys from Elizabeth New Jersey
What is elbow short hair?
I had a friend who lost all his hair, but he still carries his comb around .....
He just couldn't part with it
Niiiiiice lmao
Lol
😂
OMG LOL 😂👍

Love your tutorials. Have always hated going to the salon as they never seem to cut my hair how I want them to. Now my hair looks exactly how I want thanks to you!....
I am a stylist and I still enjoyed this. Easy way to layer your hair - DYI! My layers never looked so good.
I didn't know the pawn shop guy cut hair too:-)
LOL I thought the same thing Rick is very famous even cutting hair
OMG! You wrote what I thought!
This was EXTREMELY HELPFUL thank you for taking the time to show us how to do layers at home

Stage fright
I cant pay attention from ROFL at these comments!!!
Lol!
I have to admit that I am a retired hairdresser and I happened to find this guy by accident , I ordered a small bottle of the 25 spray and I can't tell you how amazed I was that it worked so good !!!! It's the best stuff I have EVER used on my hair ( and believe me I've tried them all ) I eventually ordered a large bottle of 25 and use it every single day !!!! Thank you Salon Guy !!!!!
Heya! Will you pretty please explain the product and what exactly you love about it? 🙏🏽
I'll even put sugar on top! 😊
PS, why is daily use needed? 🤔
Are you washing everyday!?! 😮 😬
Been trimming and styling my own hair for 2 years now. It can be done. My hair is very long, and what @TheSalonGuy is instructing is Spot On !
