This was a great video. I'm from Indiana and signed up for school. I went, but I never understood what all I was suppose to do. I basically had to learn on my own. I started not to like school because the teacher did not explain anything. I thought I'm going to graduate and not know anything. Coloring the hair, the teacher would mix my colors, but she didn't tell me why or how much of each to use. I learned that there were other dos-satisfied as well. Cosmetology is what I wanted to do for a long time, but learning was nothing like I thought it would be.When I signed up, I was pregnant and did not know it at the time. 9 months later, I gave birth and was immediately sent to Kentucky because my son had a rare vision dis-order. I started to miss school. I signed up full time and asked if I can go to part time and they said no. They said I would have to start over and pay the same fee.I just quit because my son needed to have surgeries and he was more important. Then over the years, I struggled in getting to go back because my son was autistic as well. Now he is 16 and I am able to go back. I will be signing up at a school 40 miles away. I will continue to watch these videos and learn all I can. I want to be a good beautician.Thank you so much for this video!
I thought a Graduated haircut is cut at 45 degree angle cut. From what I was taught it looks like she is cutting 90 degree angle cut. I'm in Alabama I did Pivot Point Fundamentals and my daughter did Milady her book says same as above. I guess every state is different on the angle cuts. The instructor is good.
how come the haircut parting was in 5 sections and not in 4? Either way, this was really helpful, thank you!! I hope this is basically the same as the Alaska state board test.
i guess im asking the wrong place but does someone know a method to log back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb forgot the password. I appreciate any help you can offer me
I wish my instructor was this helpful. Our instructors were too concerned with their own appearances and let the students run the school. I'm starting a different school in January and I learned more through this video than I ever did in class. I feel a lot better starting again.
Crystal Kelley girl I went to Toni&guy and there were concerned about fake it till you make it and I dropped out and started going to aveda and they cared about there students and helped them when they needed it...
4 years old but still the most helpful video I've seen!! This video has been an absolute lifesaver for me. The most confident I've felt cutting hair since I started school and I take my practical next week!
I went to a school with a great name but honestly when it came to state board classes I felt completely lost. This woman is very thorough and explains things perfectly... Thank God for youtube now I can go into my state board exam with the confidence I need to get this cut done on time!
I wish this instructor had made more state board exam videos, she great and very in depth. please link if there are more. my board is in 9 days (feeling very underprepared)
I passed! !! Follow the videos she's great make sure you know you need to sanitize after touching anything lol be confident. Practicing helped me pass, her artificial nail video is a good instructural video too :) good luck and wear comfy shoes
I actually finished really fast I've been studying for that the most but honestly the test I got was common sense. I just was practicing test questions a lot lolol
This video was very helpful to me. There are slight differences in some of the steps but I love the little tips and hints (like curving fingers to the shape of the head!). These little things help me because I absolutely panic and forget what I’m doing. Thank you for sharing! 💇🏻♀️
Absolutely fantastic!! Thank you for the awesome tutorial!! I would only add ... in my state they are very strict on that ... hand sanitizer step back fold hands and wait for proctor to check your cut. Thank you for teaching about using the measuring lines on the comb .. I knew about them but have never had an instructor use them in a cut demo. I am taking my practical on Wednesday and I feel more confident because of your video.
It used to be that way before, each procedure was supposed to be assumed to be a new client, so all the drape had to be changed, but for California, now you don't have to change the drape, but, if you do, no points are taken away from you; they will assume that the drape was soiled and that's why you changed it.
For state board test, we do not need to cut the top with the razor, but in general, there are many ways to cut hair with razor; try holding the hair up and using the hair under your fingers, or slice it over the hair sideways; practice different ways and you will find your own.
There is no regulations on braiding or a state board test, you can do it without a license, but if you choose to cut the hair, even if it is extension hair, you need to have a license
THANK YOU ! THANK YOU ! I just passed my CA State Board exam ! Woot Woot ! Your video was AMAZING ! I basically learned how to do my HC from you ! To anyone out there - This is the BEST video to watch ( over and over ) and practice at the same time ! It was perfect ! I agree - you are the BEST Teacher !!! Best, Liberty.
You are one of the best instructor and as one of the comments this is exactly like our State Board in Ohio, but we were shown once, never practiced in school and have mocks next week, so I have no clue if we razor on the sides and layer all the way around, the directions make me think so, but class was over, holiday came and now it is color week so clueless! I love watching you please make more videos I can understand you so well and thanks for your time and careingness truly, from Ohio
It is almost exact, but this is in LA,the only thing my question is I'm in Ohio &we were shown once, I have mocks next week and we never practiced in class so I have no idea if we layer with the razor on the sides with the razor too??? I am so impressed with this channel and this educator it amazes me how one instructor has so much passion for her students and is so clear, wow!Do you know if we layer the bottom on the sides by the ear with the razor? Thanks, really appreciate any answer,truly!
Great instructor!! I was screwed when I when to school my voc teachers were horrible!! They taught us to cut like 2x and never showed us how to do acrylics cuz they didn’t like the smell!!! All we ever did was perms and finger waves!! Now at 40 I’m going to get my Nail Tech license. It’s never to late to do what you love young ladies follow your heart 💜
Thanks for this very helpful video! The regulations read as follows on the PSI State Boards website for Texas: "Establishes entire perimeter guideline using razor to determine length" Does that mean for Texas we need to part out the entire perimeter, including the fringe area, and razor cut that, and then proceed with the sheers for the remainder of the haircut? The next reads, "Follows established guideline throughout haircut with traveling guide using shears". Thanks again!
My teacher showed us this in five minutes (it was the last month of school and we never cut with a razor before) and he expected us to remember it perfectly and wouldn’t answer any questions :(
You will be fine with one mannequin and a plastic hand for manicure. You can wrap a plastic bag around the finger bowl and take it back with you, or, if the exam room still has the shampoo bowls left from the old test times, dispose it there. Some have poured the water in the wet towel bag full of towels that absorbed it with no problem. You can also ask your state board instructor for more solutions, or, simply take an empty water bottle with you and place it in the kit to use it for water.
This is for California and all NIC adapted tests throughout the country. Most state boards have adapted the NIC practical and written tests. Either way, once you apply, you are supposed to get a booklet from your state explaining what is required for your state; they should have the information at their website, too. Good luck!
Do you mean the practical test requirements? There is a video on this site for cosmetology state board practical requirements, check the practical exam playlist
Great Job!!!As an Instructor I find this tutorial precise and very informative..I would recommend this tutorial to my class..!I stress calling my implement sheers..(each his own)and teach cleaning the table after each procedure also!!!,Yet!!I really see,GREAT!!!Technique.I CELEBRATE 30 YEARS in the Industry>>> A VERY SUCCESSFUL CAREER !! Teaching now:)! I APPLAUD YOU!!!!Thank YOU!!!
I’ve struggled with a hair design and could hear my instructor in the office laughing with another saying “she’s struggling!” Instead of actually spending the time I took a loan out for, to help me.
I am preparing for the NIC Cosmetology exam 2013. Thanks you for video helping a lot. The Candidate Information Bulletin was not clear about the number of mannequins needed for the entire test. Please let me know how many I should bring. And I don't know I have to change mannequins for color test or facial test. The Bulletin says the for the Demo of Cuticle Care, the student immerses fingers in bowl of water. How do I dispose of water during final cleanup?
So would that mean since it is almost exact Ohio too, because I dont know if I should layer the sides around the ear with the razor? we were shown once at the end of class, never practiced and have mocks next week, I was pretty shocked bc I love my school, it is very intense and elite, but I never heard of not practicing the most important hair cut and if we fail one chance to make it up and if we fail again we are out, I thought this was to help us pass state board!
Cystic acne impaired my life for countless years. I did shut myself away because of the problem. I tried each and every crackpot theory available. It did not go away. After that I discovered the Acne Executioner internet site (Google it) and my bad acne vanished. It’s weird but I quite like observing photographs of me for the very first time ever.
Thermal curling test: Candidate Information Bulletin was not tell I have to use cool curling iron or use electric curling iron. And I have to prepare fake curls at home for the test or not. How I can do? And I have to make 3 curls "Mohawk" of the top head and 4 curls on one side of the head? Thanks you for answer.
If I use one mannequin for the entire test, the mannequin will be very wet for haircutting test and chemical waving test. How I can apply shaving cream or thick gel on the wet hair? And after that I still use the mannequin with dirty gel hair for facial. That why I feel confused. Thanks you so much for answer.
How she does the back is interesting. I was taught differently so this is something im going to have to try sometime. I am not a fan of how she does the crown though. When i cut i just take a section from the back and pull it to the front making verticle sections checking to make sure it comes out in same length. Overall wonderful instructor and great information.
Ny state board is completely different. The sectioning is different and the 90 starts from the crown after the guideline is established. I think the video headings you have made should specify the state you are in because some people may get messed up if they are studying for another states practical exam.
The point above your ears is the pariatal ridge and once you get to the back that's your occipital bone. Then above the occipital and below the apex is the crown. Also I thought you were supposed to close your razor when you combed or took sections down for client protection...
Performs Predisposition/ Patch Test with simulated product behind the ear. I can use cotton with simulated Hydrogen Peroxide 3% clean the skin behind the ear and after that I will use Q-tip with simulated color give it on the skin. Is it correct?
DO NOT leave your razor open when you are done with it. Just letting you know now. Do not do that.

Hi Esme Tellez, which cosmetology school r u going in Texa. I too live in texas but confused where to join??
What college are u going to
You have excellent communication skills. I watch all your videos. Thank your for offering these videos. Your an outstanding instructor!
4 years old but still the most helpful video I've seen!! This video has been an absolute lifesaver for me. The most confident I've felt cutting hair since I started school and I take my practical next week!
Did you pass the cutting portion?
Lol 9 years for me 😂
can you do a video on not being scared to take state board im so nervous and scared to take it
I accidentally came across this video and have no background in cosmetology, but I find this tutorial fascinating!
Good video!! I love the way she explains the process! She seems like a very patient teacher!
I went to a school with a great name but honestly when it came to state board classes I felt completely lost. This woman is very thorough and explains things perfectly... Thank God for youtube now I can go into my state board exam with the confidence I need to get this cut done on time!
I'm not even in cosmetology but I'm always trimming ends and I'd love to see a video on that. This is so great. You're a great teacher!
very great teacher!
This is a great hair cut ,great teaching and
You have a great way to explain.
Thank you for sharing you knowledge

Zebralish

I wish this instructor had made more state board exam videos, she great and very in depth. please link if there are more.

How much parts was it?
This video was very helpful to me. There are slight differences in some of the steps but I love the little tips and hints (like curving fingers to the shape of the head!). These little things help me because I absolutely panic and forget what I’m doing. Thank you for sharing! 💇🏻♀️
what a beautiful woman - an expert in her artistry.
This instructor explains this so well, this is how other instructors should explain it. I have an instructor who doesn’t really explain it well.
She explains so fluently I’ll watch this until it’s time to pass my state exams.
State board exam June 1st!! Getting ready!
Just seeing the dry erase board behind her shows me these students are better taught than the school I am attending, lol
This never gets old, this woman is the most amazing hairdresser .. ❤❤❤
U R AN EXCELLENT TEACHER THANKS YOU SOMUCH THIS HELP ME SO MUCH

Thank you so much for this video! So helpful! I passed my state board exam with a 93. I was struggling before this and I finished my haircut on time!

I've always loved the art of cutting hair
Storm Wyatt I was always scared

If Ohio State Board adapted NIC then yes, if not, then you need to find out from their webside about their requirements.
Any doll will do, but there are some that have bigger heads; those would be hard to part for perm; don't get those.
I am not sure, better check the state board of Michigan; if they have adopted the NIC testing, then yes, it works.
You are one of the best instructor and as one of the comments this is exactly like our State Board in Ohio, but we were shown once, never practiced in school and have mocks next week, so I have no clue if we razor on the sides and layer all the way around, the directions make me think so, but class was over, holiday came and now it is color week so clueless!

my teacher should be fired
Mine was fired, dumb ass
Very nice and well explained ! Many many thanks for sharing it with the world.
Great instructor!! I was screwed when I when to school my voc teachers were horrible!! They taught us to cut like 2x and never showed us how to do acrylics cuz they didn’t like the smell!!!

You are my absolute favourite and Victoria Escobar, are you all Mexican Women?
Thanks for posting this. Your students are lucky to have you!
only critique I have is she keep on sayin Blunt cut...when a razor creates a softer edge and shears create a blunt edge.
One inch or more is Ok, not less than one inch.
this is awesome came in handy taught me little tricks my cosmetology teacher didn't teach me now im confident I can do my haircut great!
I am glad that it helped you! Thanks for watching!

Good luck!!
What a great teacher

Cystic acne impaired my life for countless years. I did shut myself away because of the problem. I tried each and every crackpot theory available. It did not go away.

who is this insturctor ?! what is her name? and what school does she teach at?
