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
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 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!
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
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'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!
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.
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!
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 😊
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. 🇦🇺🦘💥
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.
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💈💈👍❤️
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!🤩
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 love how easy you make it look. I just got my very, very long salt and pepper hair cut it to your lenght. It feels weird but now people see me before that I was invisible.
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!
@@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.
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. ❤
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.
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 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.

@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!

Oh Lisa, I’m so sorry about your cancer! Words cannot express how much I detest it. Best of luck with your hair !

Thanks Charly! We haven't been affected personally but the need is still huge.
@@thestacystory166❤
Luv that haircut looks great and super stylish. I cut my own hair all the time too. 🙂💗
Thanks so much Michele! Always nice to meet another self hair cutter!😁
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.
Holy cow. You are my hero.
Aweeee! thanks so much!
Love your new cut
Thanks a lot Mike!
Stunning haircut !! You look amazing !!
Thank you so much!
I liked it well Dane ! Thanks for sharing your hair cut ❤ Liza from Australia
You go girl you did a really great job. WOW. ❤❤
😁😁😁😁
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!😊😁

The undercut is the savior of home haircuts!
I personally like it better when your bangs rest on your forehead. Man I wish I had the cajones to do this lol, very nice job :) very cute!
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!
Thank you so much Marylynne! I have videos on all sorts of topics on my channel.
Bravoooooo!! 👏👏👏 Looks great.
Thank you so much!
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?

Looking looking great,well done.,🌟⭐👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Your "before" is the way I like my hair cut!
I love your commentary on this video😂!
Why thank you😁
Brilliant video. It just takes practice. Just do it. Best thing I have ever done.
Exceptional. I hope I can do something similar. Thank you for your independent bravery. 🎉
Wow, thank you so much!😊
Good job ..good thing your face is adorable...not many can wear it so short..
Thank you so much Heidi!😁😊
Super cute...I cut my own hair short too, it's fun!
Yes it is! It's so satisfying 😁
I think she looks fabulous with her haircut
She looks really cute!
😊😊😊
It is the best soccer mullet.... you make that chore (hair cutting) look easy.
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.
Hope you kept this look it really suits you ❤
Stunning 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩❤️❤️
😊😊😊😊 Thanks so much!
You did a great job 👍😍
You look so beautiful!
Oh thank you! 😊😁
Hola qué bien te a quedado él corte muy bonito 😍🤗😘

Thanks so much Jim!😁
You did a fantastic job! And you are beautiful
Semiretired, but yes I am😁
Awe, thanks so much Jill!☺️
i would like to know the length/as per 4,3,2,1.....like is 4....12mm???1/2inch etc
please update??
#4 is 1/2 inch or 13mm
#2 is 1/4 inch or 6mm
#1 is1/8 inch or 3mm
A very helpful video. 😊
It looks great that short. Are we getting any more, perhaps even shorter
Cute! Wish I had the nerve. If I'd had this video during covid, I might have tried it.
Do you use thinning shears?
Yes! at 15:57😁
I have a very bad too short pixie ! How many days until it starts to grow ??
You rock!!!!
Thank you so much!❤️
I would love to do this! My hair is past my butt, and I'm pretty tired of it!
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!
love this cut:)
Üdvözlet
Jó látni hogy más is ilyen módon vágja a haját. Én 2 hete vágtam le olyanra mint a tied és nagyon szeretem!!
Szuper ügyes vagy.
Üdvözlet Magyarországról ❤️
Perfekt - sehr talentiert !😘
Looks good on you
Thanks so much!
Loved it! 😂
The clippers made quick work of your back and sides 😂😂💈
That is a nice haircut❤
Awesome job
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.
Love it x
Thank you so much Carol!
That was GREAT!
Very good!
Thank you so much!
