@@robynpope3433 as our search continues. Even if we find one they aren’t usually around long unless we get extremely lucky. It’s gotten so bad I cut my own. I used to go every 6 months to even out spots I miss but since Covid I’ve done it myself
@@nanaobx there are thousands of stylists and a recession happening - I'm sure if they want your money and care about their clients, they'd give it a watch. Anyone who wouldn't - don't go near them. Clients count before ego.
Thank you for this very informative video! I would always leave the salon with a dog ear pushing forward on the heavier side. The stylist would act like I was a picky client for mentioning it. They would pull up both sides to show me it was evenly cut. And basically gaslight my concerns. I’ll use this technique from now on. Don’t layer the back shorter than the front and only layer the top section to keep the bottom looking full. Thanks again!
My husband has been cutting my hair since May 2020. We've watched a million YT videos and tried a million different cutting techniques. Used this method yesterday and wow, what a difference! I have a ton of baby fine hair, bob length but we trusted that you said "any length, any texture" and it worked. We're never taking the texturizing shears so far into the length again. I thought I needed that because I have such thick hair. We were out and about yesterday and someone complimented my hair!! That hasn't happened in YEARS. Thank you Justin and Dionna!
So I literally just did this to myself. It came out absolutely perfect! It’s completely fool proof. Granted, I do usually cut my own hair but following this method was 💯 spot on!
Gen, do you have a method for doing the base line cut for the length? I section mine down the middle and pull to the front, cut it there and then trim up the back using a mirror but not sure if that's the best way. Thanks!
@@clbellue yes I do the same! I section down the middle, do one side, then I take a small piece from my base neckline and bring to the other side to line it up with the new side I’m cutting. And yes using a mirror to finish it up!
Happy Wife, Happy Life How wonderful to have a stylist who’s not only very talented but who truly cares that his clients are happy. I feel like I always settle because I have thin hair & think oh well that’s the best they can do with it. Your wife is very pretty and her hair cut is beautiful. There’s nothing like a woman’s hair that makes or breaks her day

I’m a retired stylist and it’s very difficult to find a stylist that cuts hair correctly. The style is in the cut. If the cut isn’t correct there’s no amount of bending and no amount of product that will obtain the results you want.
Yep, I’ve had the choppy looking layers and I despise that. I’m currently not doing anything as I’ve been so frustrated with all the cuts and coloring I’ve had over the last five years. At 63, I obviously want to look my best and keep hoping I can find a stylist who can help me feel good about my hair style.
I'm 52 and feel.the same. I'm sick of my hair being ruined. So now it's just long and cut straight at the bottom. I would like the cut he just did, but they always do it wrong.
I have moderately curly hair, but it SHRINKS way more than anyone expects. The stylists never believe me and refuse to cut it dry if asked. A video explaining what we as curly/wavy girls should tell the stylist to avoid horrible or too short cuts would be most appreciated.
As a hairstylist with curly hair I can tell you that if you get a haircut it will seem like it shrinks because of releasing the weight of layers also I liked well maintained little haircuts every 6 weeks so you just reshaping it! Your hair goes into like a shock for about a week when you get it cut! Try staying on a schedule and just reshaping every 6 weeks
This exactly addresses why I am unhappy with my hair! The problem is explaining to my stylist without insulting her. I’ve been going to her for years and consider her a friend, but I leave so unhappy with my hair. Suggestions?!!
Thank you Rachel! This helped me too 😊 I said exactly that to my stylist and took this video in! I've been seeing a new stylist who's really good (my longtime stylist left) and so nice but I was about to start searching as something just wasn't working.... I also phrased it as "we" tried this kind of layering last time but i think this might work better so can we try...and she was great with it!
This makes so much sense! I am also saving this in case I need to cut my own hair again ... I cut mine for a year first year of COVID ... gave up on back layers mostly. Anyway, thank you! I've watched your travel videos and those are great also ... highly recommend the channel. Side note ... I have had an RV for many years. I am self employed and have worked from home for 37 years ... anyway, on my months long rv trips, one of the challenges was getting my hair cut ... even just trimmed ... finding a salon primarily in small towns and mostly without recommendation. I had a few OMG cuts. All to say, that I am a bit envious of Dionna travelling with her stylist 🤣!!
You make it look so easy so when I watch you I think I can do it but I know I can't. You're an artist! Your wife is so lucky to be married to a hair stylist! Your wife is beautiful, by the way! After watching to the end....Whoa! Move to southeast Virginia!! I'd go to you for my hair!
Love, love, love it! I am 61 and have long wavy hair, on the dry and frizzy side (which I plan to keep - long that it😉). I would love this style but I wouldn't trust anyone around here. They all get very scissor happy and don't know what even means. Ya, so I cut my own.👀
I applied your teaching to cut my own hair and I am wowed! I am not a cosmetologist but I've always liked to cut my own hair. I have curly hair so I realize my cutting my own hair is more forgiving Thank you so much!
This is a great tutorial. I'm not a trained stylist. My mother wants me to cut her hair. I follow this tutorial every time I cut her hair. People always compliment her on the haircut. I'm getting better at doing this cut for her. It saves her money (retired), and it's fun. Thanks a million for sharing your expertise, experiences, and professional opinions. 👏 🎉😊
I’m a stylist and love watching the work of other stylists. Legit stylists will give u a free consult and u have the right to walk away! Don’t feel obligated. I’m in central Florida.
Looks fabulous. I like having long hair that I can drip dry, pull in ponytail, and weigh down cowlicks. But hate that it’s thin and looks yuck when I try to style leaving down. This looks like excellent option. I’m going to share this with my hairstylist. One request/suggestion: Could you use drape with color other than black, so we can see end levels better?
Wow, I wouldn't have dropped out of cosmology school (all those decades ago) had they bothered to teach what you just did! Thank you for that. After so many, many, many bad haircuts, I finally found a few great stylists who know how to cut with your technique - I always leave happy. I'm curious to know how the new length on your wife performs in a ponytail and what height works best.
Looks fantastic. That’s how hairdressers always cut my hair. I’ve had many cutters over but they always do the same cut. I have a lot of hair and it’s curly. I’ve had shorter layers at times but my hair curls too much. I need longer layers like you did to keep some weight at the top. You did a beautiful cut.
Thank you. This is a no hair cut year for me after my regular stylist cut my hair way shorter than I had asked for. .I have been using instructional videos to give myself a haircut to keep it decent looking during this process. I need to clean it up again, and the timing is perfect and video is really great and clear. Thank you.
@@JLeigh75309 Same! I took my two daughters for a haircut right before school started. A lot of money later, we all were dissatisfied with our haircuts and fixed it at home. It really is hard to find a good stylist.
I once walked into a salon for this haircut with hair down my back and came out with all my hair chopped off like Mia Farrow! The stylist said "It just needs to grow into that haircut"--- WTH? I had so much hair for the canvas! I cried for days, I was 18, when that happened and the hunt for a great stylist over the years stretched my budget. So many terrible haircuts over the years, none quite as bad as that first disaster, but the good ones were always over $250, and I tried Supercuts to Beverly Hills (Beverly Hills was great but not sustainable). I started just giving myself a blunt cut, but I have super thick wavy yet fine hair and this was not idea. Finally I can give myself a layer cut that is perfect, thank you !!!
Hi Jus, looks great! Your wife is beautiful. (Though I actually liked it more before the curl and wave -- because the layers were so beautifully done.)
Ooooooh adventure travel!!! I had temp jobs all around this country, plus of course, permanent moves, so have lived in several places. I say “ know thyself “. Know what key points are important to YOU. Make sure your choice opens your heart and is not just a head/ mind choice. Not that you asked. May you find your magic place.
Step 1 : Determine what length you want Step 2 : Determine and cut front layers Step 3 : Internal or top layers After blow drying Step 4 : Blending layers
This is an amazing technique! I've worked at supercuts, but even in Cosmo school, they don't teach to point cut the layers like that. Just to really make your guide for how short you want the layers at the top then connect the guide to the base which can cause the layers to look choppy if you're not careful. So I will definitely be trying this the next time I cut my mom's hair since I don't work in the industry anymore.
I have been cutting my own hair for over 60 years and this cut is basically the very same cut I have done. I could hardly believe my eyes when I started to watch your video . Only difference with mine is I have figured out how to streamline the cutting process a bit so as to cut down on having my arms holding my hair up in the air for not quite so long. But your cut is beautiful. I hope alot of ladies will pay attention to your instructions. Because if they do they will get a perfect hair cut & style. 🧐✨
@@Ange777ify when I cut the back side i make sure my hair is wet and i comb it all to the back side of my head. That way there will be an easier way of keeping it even. Then i take all the hair and gather it into what one might think of as a clump of hair and take it all together with a comb to a length that i want and then i cut all the hair ends even through out that gathering. Then i gather them all together once again and trim them once more. Then i divide my the back side of my hair in half. Then comb the hair all forward, keeping it all straight downward to bring the ends all together on each side. Then i trim them just slightly . Hopefully this will help you. Its really a very simple way to get it even. But not so simple to explain here. Good luck. If you have any questions i will try to answer them if i can. This is the best hair cut i have ever given to others & myself. Its timeless. I have actually had other females come up to me and say my hair is so pretty they sometimes ask me if its a wig? I fo not know why or how i found this hair cut but its the best.
@@illusionisms thanks!! Somehow u always end up with a V in the back. Do you pull it forward over your head or over your shoulders? Sounds like a dumb question, but I just can't get it right. I have a lot of long hair to play with so will keep trying🤣
I’m 68 and looking for a new hairstyle and found the one I wanted. Now find a new stylist, I went and just watched a wonderful lady give a few cuts noticing how she listened to her clients. I stroke gold, I showed her your video of your wife’s hair and not only did she watched it she noted your site. Next week I finally going to get a new style. I have a round face with thinning hair and 95% my hair still natural hair with few silver (natural) highlights. Can’t wait!
I absolutely appreciate and LOVE you sharing this with us! In the past I have coloted my own hair and have receieved compliments from colorists but when I've cut my own hair and at times it worked but at times had to run to the stylist for a 'corrective' fix! Lol Couldn't help it, my mom used to cut her own hair and did such a wonderful job, I've always wanted to emulate. This is a wonderful method of instructing, Thank You So Much🥰✂️💇♀️💕
Love this haircut, I basically have this but my hair is longer. I'm lucky to have a fantastic hairdresser (of almost 30 years) that does an amazing job on my cut and color. She does texturize my hair more and not just the ends, but I believe that is because my hair is heavy, and it takes out some of the bulk. Its pretty blunt on the ends and not thin or scraggly at all. I've been following your van adventures too.
I also had this haircut but I cut my own hair because a stylist ruined it some years ago and I said never again. I taught myself and read and watch a lot of vids. I just cut my hair into a long lob (style a-line bob). I absolutely love it. Women can rock any style at any age. I never listen to the nay sayers or the ones saying well bc of your age you can’t! Lol 😂 Watch me! But seriously it is very gratifying to cut your own hair, do it well and people think you spent tons in a salon. BUT I would let Justin or Brad Mondo cut my hair! There is an interesting guy named Brian Ciacca from Australia. He is interesting but takes hours to cut hair. I asked him why he used only really young women since many like me are middle aged or older and he said women our age won’t do it bc of our age and feeling uncomfortable. I stopped watching him after that as I found his answer to me to be very sexist against older women.
Excellent job lighting this video. Really difficult with full on light behind you. Bravo! I can see your wife and haircut perfectly. For those watching on your phone, just brighten your screen setting.
Seeing a peek of your Berner makes me miss our girls. We had 2 Berners (sisters) and they were the sweetest dogs we’ve ever had. Someday we’ll get one or two again. ❤🐾 Loved the hair cutting tips. Thank you 😊
I drive an hour plus to go to the person that has been cutting and coloring my hair for over 20 years. It's a drive to get to her, and she's not inexpensive--but I won't go anywhere else. She's forgotten more than most hairstylists will ever know-- mostly because many don't approach their trade with passion and pride. I consider Tina an artist, and I respect her so much for what she does. I know how difficult it is to find a hairstylist--and watching Mr. Justin's videos makes me appreciate Tina. He sounds a lot like her. 😃Thank God for people who are true professionals and treat their craft like the art it is.
Wow. Very impressive. I'm not a stylist, but it's fascinating to watch a true artist explain their process. (You wife is lovely, by the way). I would be very interested to seen the ends of the hair, before and after you cut, under a microscope...to see exactly what's going on. Thank you.
This is the cut you gave me and it is was incredible! Best of my life!! Now with your travels I need a new person 😪 This is one of your best videos yet!!
HI Justin, this is a great video! I like how you explain what you are doing and why. Dionna is a total babe and you made her look great! Your videos are informative and fun. Thank you for all the great content!
Your wife is gorgeous and seems so kind! My hair looked pretty close to hers in style (Have a great stylist in the bay area California) BUT with my more ordinary face, I got tired of the length and got a layered bob 3 years ago. I get more compliments on my hair when it’s in a more structured style and feel more confident. However, I’m now in the process of growing it out again so seeing this video has been inspirational reminding me of what I’ll have in about a year if I stay patient :-)
What a wonderful video to see you in action! I think I have the same hairstyle but I just don't style them in waves and I do, flip my parting from side to side so my hair stylist keeps equal bangs on both sides! It will be such a dream come true to someday get a hair cut from you! Loving the van life videos, insta stories and this minimalistic house! Totally understand the 'moment' Dionna had and honestly, that is what keeps thongs real amd relatable! Its like saying a person would be lyingnof he/she said there has never been a fight in his/her marriage. Much love and light to both of you ❤️. Hopefully the next 'home' is North Carolina 😊😍🤗
Justin, loved this haircut. You said it can be used on an length hair. Could you show a haircut on someone who has hair just brushing the shoulders or a little shorter, please?
It is a beautiful cut. I cut my own hair with a little help from my daughter and pretty much do this . I tease a little at the crown (I can’t help it! I’m a victim of the 80s). I get compliments l❤
I love how you cut your wife's hair! I had grown mine out for a few years. I have curly hair but like to straighten it often. My niece cut mine for me and used the texture Scissors. Of course, she went down too far! So I have a less-than-desirable look than I wanted. The back of my hair is way shorter than my front. And the sides, well there a mess. She left one side a little chopper than the other. So I just keep it curly for now. The curls look more stringy than before and the front just looks dry and more damaged. It's harder to brush out with the layers being so chopped. So I've broken and pulled a lot out, with all the tangles it's created. Your way looks much better.
Well I’m way past 65 and have a pretty minimalist approach to skin care and makeup, but luckily with good genes, healthy diet and keeping active , I don’t focus on looking younger, just happy , involved with those around me, a little mascara and I’m good to go. The people I see around me that look much older than their age seem to be unhappy, solitary and dissatisfied with their lives. I so appreciate Justin, he reminds me of what I should be doing to look my best. Have a great day 💖
Awesome video Justin! I just gave myself this cut and I'm very happy with the result!! I cut about 2" off the back length, it's just below my shoulders, framed my face to mid cheek level and used the layering technique yoou shared. It's a better cut than MANY I've paid for over the years. TYTYTY! Happy trails😎 Darcy from Wisconsin
Isn't that the truth, I've paid for WAAAAY to many bad cuts, some stylists see curly hair and they run, last place I was the women looked at me flatly and stated in front of the entire salon, I don't do curly - Awe geez I said, I've waited six weeks for this appointment and being the hair orphan now, I had to find a way, Justin saved the day. Thank you Justin!!!
So now I know to ask a hairstylist to keep layers on the light side and texturize just the last inch! For the people below saying they cut it this way themselves, my question is: how?! How can you reach back there and if you do that'd mess up the angle, right? Feel free to make a video on how to cut and layer, or at least layer one's own hair! A very cheap place like Hair Cuttery can do a blunt cut but I've even seen them butcher that (totally crooked) and I'd be nervous to let them layer since the really cheap places can't guarantee stylists are very experienced at all or necessarily very good. Though it at least get those split ends off so am very glad it exists for those of us on a tight budget!
My hair stylist does a very similar job. I have straight thick hair, and lots of it, thank God. She’s done so many different hair styles and I’ve loved them all.
Justin I would like to Thankyou for your great videos especially on long hair. I have watched you since you first started on youtube. I took 3 screen shots of your wife’s hair from your videos as you were styling it, I printed them off and gave them to my hair dresser yesterday and she cut my hair the best I have ever had it cut . I absolutely love the layered style and even got a compliment when I went shopping today . Thankyou so much❤
Justin it is so difficult to find the right stylist. It"s also a downer when they won't watch your video. I love your videos. I would love this hairstyle. Dionna is a great addition! I understand when/if she gets upset with you! My mom was a stylist in the 40's (you know when perm machines came down from the celing!) If she cut my hair wrong I'd get so upset (age 18 -23.) Bless her heart! I'm in my 60's now & I'd love to have her back - but NOT to cut my hair! Lol However, I really need you as a wonderful stylist and love to see your wife! She has the greatest expression when you're teaching!
Wow, you described several issues that I am currently dealing with in my recent cut with a new stylist. I have thick graying hair with low lights and highlights put in. (I recently moved and found a new stylist.) I was letting my hair grow out to chin length but wanted layers that when I ran my hand through my hair it would all just lay in place. What I ended up with is exactly what you said, dog ears and over texturing so my sides look thin. Very bummed 😞. I am going to watch your other videos to see what else you share. Loved the outcome of your wife's style.
I've always said that men are better hair stylist. That's just my opinion. I had a guy that used to cut my hair when I was in High school and I haven't been able to find one since. I love the feeling of that wispyness. My hair is thick and it just feels so good to get a good haircut.
Get a stylist chair for your rig and you'll have us standing in line in every town you pass through!! Either that or move to Rolla, Missouri please! :)
I have fine hair and love the blunt layers, I find if you cut them to blend them you don’t see them what I don’t like. When you style blunt layers it makes my fine hair have more volume and looks thicker.
Love your videos! Amazing how just a little trim and styling makes such a difference. Have fun on your journey! Consider coming to the great FREE state of Florida!!! There are so many beautiful towns here with tons of things to do! We'd love to have you! Tfs! Drive safely! 🌴🌞🌅😊
It shouldn't be so hard to find a stylist that know how to cut this way. This is a cut I learned how to do in beauty school. Point cutting came years later, but the basic cut should be what everyone was taught.
I was not taught this whatsover and was thrown onto the floor knowing nothing but straight edge cutting. I left the school shortly after that. I think poor training runs rampant in this industry and explains all the horrific cuts I've had to endure in the past.
I actually finally found a stylist who knows how to give me the layers I want. I used to hate layers and I also would get bored with my hair and want to change it. But now my hair is so easy to style and I love my layers. My question is - where are Kevin and Benny while you're filming? How many times do you have to start and stop ?😄
Would actually love to see this done on someone with super thin/fine hair. Then finding a good stylist and having them remain working where you go is exhausting.
The problem is..... finding a stylist that can do all these fabulous hair style/cuts!
Amen!

You make it look so easy so when I watch you I think I can do it but I know I can't. You're an artist! Your wife is so lucky to be married to a hair stylist! Your wife is beautiful, by the way! After watching to the end....Whoa! Move to southeast Virginia!! I'd go to you for my hair!
Love how you demonstrate & explain what you're doing & why!
Love, love, love it! I am 61 and have long wavy hair, on the dry and frizzy side (which I plan to keep - long that it😉). I would love this style but I wouldn't trust anyone around here. They all get very scissor happy and don't know what even means. Ya, so I cut my own.👀
Me too! I'd rather do my own and get a bad cut then pay $$$ and get a bad cut, lol.
@@clbellue Isn't that the truth!
I love the haircut 🙌🏻
Your wife is absolutely Beautiful 😍
I applied your teaching to cut my own hair and I am wowed! I am not a cosmetologist but I've always liked to cut my own hair. I have curly hair so I realize my cutting my own hair is more forgiving Thank you so much!
This is a great tutorial. I'm not a trained stylist. My mother wants me to cut her hair. I follow this tutorial every time I cut her hair. People always compliment her on the haircut. I'm getting better at doing this cut for her. It saves her money (retired), and it's fun. Thanks a million for sharing your expertise, experiences, and professional opinions. 👏 🎉😊
I've been a master stylist for 40 years. I make them stand as well. I like your style! Hugs from Alaska!
I'm a hairstylist and this haircut is just a long layered angled cut .the most popular cut
Thank you for helping us with the words to explain it to our stylists
I’m a stylist and love watching the work of other stylists. Legit stylists will give u a free consult and u have the right to walk away! Don’t feel obligated. I’m in central Florida.
Looks fabulous. I like having long hair that I can drip dry, pull in ponytail, and weigh down cowlicks. But hate that it’s thin and looks yuck when I try to style leaving down. This looks like excellent option. I’m going to share this with my hairstylist.
One request/suggestion: Could you use drape with color other than black, so we can see end levels better?
Wow, I wouldn't have dropped out of cosmology school (all those decades ago) had they bothered to teach what you just did! Thank you for that. After so many, many, many bad haircuts, I finally found a few great stylists who know how to cut with your technique - I always leave happy.
I'm curious to know how the new length on your wife performs in a ponytail and what height works best.
Looks fantastic. That’s how hairdressers always cut my hair. I’ve had many cutters over but they always do the same cut. I have a lot of hair and it’s curly. I’ve had shorter layers at times but my hair curls too much. I need longer layers like you did to keep some weight at the top. You did a beautiful cut.
Her hair is beautiful, the highlights, cut, fullness, shaping. All beautiful. If I Had enough hair and length, I’d love to get it.
Totally makes sense! Wish all schools taught your method.
Best haircut ever! Great demonstration!!
Thank you. This is a no hair cut year for me after my regular stylist cut my hair way shorter than I had asked for. .I have been using instructional videos to give myself a haircut to keep it decent looking during this process. I need to clean it up again, and the timing is perfect and video is really great and clear. Thank you.
I feel this! I got a haircut far too layered and short in December, so I'm 10 months in to watching instructional videos and chopping my own locks!
@@JLeigh75309 Same! I took my two daughters for a haircut right before school started. A lot of money later, we all were dissatisfied with our haircuts and fixed it at home. It really is hard to find a good stylist.
Yes. that is EXACTLY the haircut I want!!!
I once walked into a salon for this haircut with hair down my back and came out with all my hair chopped off like Mia Farrow! The stylist said "It just needs to grow into that haircut"--- WTH? I had so much hair for the canvas! I cried for days,
I was 18, when that happened and the hunt for a great stylist over the years stretched my budget. So many terrible haircuts over the years, none quite as bad as that first disaster, but the good ones were always over $250, and I tried Supercuts to Beverly Hills (Beverly Hills was great but not sustainable). I started just giving myself a blunt cut, but I have super thick wavy yet fine hair and this was not idea. Finally I can give myself a layer cut that is perfect, thank you !!!
Hi Jus, looks great! Your wife is beautiful. (Though I actually liked it more before the curl and wave -- because the layers were so beautifully done.)
Ooooooh adventure travel!!! I had temp jobs all around this country, plus of course, permanent moves, so have lived in several places. I say “ know thyself “. Know what key points are important to YOU. Make sure your choice opens your heart and is not just a head/ mind choice. Not that you asked. May you find your magic place.
BEST clear direction! I wish I had this video years ago - I made so many of these mistakes you talk about.
Step 1 : Determine what length you want
Step 2 : Determine and cut front layers
Step 3 : Internal or top layers
After blow drying
Step 4 : Blending layers
This is an amazing technique! I've worked at supercuts, but even in Cosmo school, they don't teach to point cut the layers like that. Just to really make your guide for how short you want the layers at the top then connect the guide to the base which can cause the layers to look choppy if you're not careful. So I will definitely be trying this the next time I cut my mom's hair since I don't work in the industry anymore.
These techniques should be taught at schools for cosmetology and for updates at hair salons
I have been cutting my own hair for over 60 years and this cut is basically the very same cut I have done. I could hardly believe my eyes when I started to watch your video . Only difference with mine is I have figured out how to streamline the cutting process a bit so as to cut down on having my arms holding my hair up in the air for not quite so long. But your cut is beautiful. I hope alot of ladies will pay attention to your instructions. Because if they do they will get a perfect hair cut & style. 🧐✨
How do you get the back straight?
@@Ange777ify when I cut the back side i make sure my hair is wet and i comb it all to the back side of my head. That way there will be an easier way of keeping it even. Then i take all the hair and gather it into what one might think of as a clump of hair and take it all together with a comb to a length that i want and then i cut all the hair ends even through out that gathering. Then i gather them all together once again and trim them once more. Then i divide my the back side of my hair in half. Then comb the hair all forward, keeping it all straight downward to bring the ends all together on each side. Then i trim them just slightly . Hopefully this will help you. Its really a very simple way to get it even. But not so simple to explain here. Good luck. If you have any questions i will try to answer them if i can. This is the best hair cut i have ever given to others & myself. Its timeless. I have actually had other females come up to me and say my hair is so pretty they sometimes ask me if its a wig? I fo not know why or how i found this hair cut but its the best.
@@illusionisms thanks!! Somehow u always end up with a V in the back. Do you pull it forward over your head or over your shoulders? Sounds like a dumb question, but I just can't get it right. I have a lot of long hair to play with so will keep trying🤣
I’m 68 and looking for a new hairstyle and found the one I wanted. Now find a new stylist, I went and just watched a wonderful lady give a few cuts noticing how she listened to her clients. I stroke gold, I showed her your video of your wife’s hair and not only did she watched it she noted your site. Next week I finally going to get a new style. I have a round face with thinning hair and 95% my hair still natural hair with few silver (natural) highlights. Can’t wait!
That is pure 100 percent trust ! I would never trust my husband to even trim my hair ! You are blessed to have a husband as a hairstylist !!
Donna's hair looks great! It totally is the best cut.
*Dionna.
Holy moly, this is the perfect haircut! Thank you for sharing this💖💖💖
I absolutely appreciate and LOVE you sharing this with us! In the past I have coloted my own hair and have receieved compliments from colorists but when I've cut my own hair and at times it worked but at times had to run to the stylist for a 'corrective' fix! Lol Couldn't help it, my mom used to cut her own hair and did such a wonderful job, I've always wanted to emulate. This is a wonderful method of instructing, Thank You So Much🥰✂️💇♀️💕
Love this haircut, I basically have this but my hair is longer. I'm lucky to have a fantastic hairdresser (of almost 30 years) that does an amazing job on my cut and color. She does texturize my hair more and not just the ends, but I believe that is because my hair is heavy, and it takes out some of the bulk. Its pretty blunt on the ends and not thin or scraggly at all. I've been following your van adventures too.
I also had this haircut but I cut my own hair because a stylist ruined it some years ago and I said never again. I taught myself and read and watch a lot of vids. I just cut my hair into a long lob (style a-line bob). I absolutely love it. Women can rock any style at any age. I never listen to the nay sayers or the ones saying well bc of your age you can’t! Lol 😂 Watch me! But seriously it is very gratifying to cut your own hair, do it well and people think you spent tons in a salon. BUT I would let Justin or Brad Mondo cut my hair! There is an interesting guy named Brian Ciacca from Australia. He is interesting but takes hours to cut hair. I asked him why he used only really young women since many like me are middle aged or older and he said women our age won’t do it bc of our age and feeling uncomfortable. I stopped watching him after that as I found his answer to me to be very sexist against older women.
Excellent job lighting this video. Really difficult with full on light behind you. Bravo! I can see your wife and haircut perfectly. For those watching on your phone, just brighten your screen setting.
Thank you for that tip. I was struggling to see what Justin was doing.
@Finesse Perfectly fine on my computer.
Dionna is gorgeous and that haircut is fabulous! You guys are such a cute couple! Happy travels!
Seeing a peek of your Berner makes me miss our girls. We had 2 Berners (sisters) and they were the sweetest dogs we’ve ever had. Someday we’ll get one or two again. ❤🐾
Loved the hair cutting tips. Thank you 😊
I drive an hour plus to go to the person that has been cutting and coloring my hair for over 20 years. It's a drive to get to her, and she's not inexpensive--but I won't go anywhere else. She's forgotten more than most hairstylists will ever know-- mostly because many don't approach their trade with passion and pride. I consider Tina an artist, and I respect her so much for what she does. I know how difficult it is to find a hairstylist--and watching Mr. Justin's videos makes me appreciate Tina. He sounds a lot like her. 😃Thank God for people who are true professionals and treat their craft like the art it is.
Thank you for showing your technique on a live ( and very lovely woman) !
Wow. Very impressive. I'm not a stylist, but it's fascinating to watch a true artist explain their process. (You wife is lovely, by the way). I would be very interested to seen the ends of the hair, before and after you cut, under a microscope...to see exactly what's going on. Thank you.
This is exactly what I want for my hair! Looks great!!!
This is the cut you gave me and it is was incredible! Best of my life!! Now with your travels I need a new person 😪 This is one of your best videos yet!!
HI Justin, this is a great video! I like how you explain what you are doing and why. Dionna is a total babe and you made her look great!
Your videos are informative and fun. Thank you for all the great content!
Your wife is gorgeous and seems so kind! My hair looked pretty close to hers in style (Have a great stylist in the bay area California) BUT with my more ordinary face, I got tired of the length and got a layered bob 3 years ago. I get more compliments on my hair when it’s in a more structured style and feel more confident.
However, I’m now in the process of growing it out again so seeing this video has been inspirational reminding me of what I’ll have in about a year if I stay patient :-)
She looks just like my neighbor!
Lucky lady!
What a wonderful video to see you in action!
I think I have the same hairstyle but I just don't style them in waves and I do, flip my parting from side to side so my hair stylist keeps equal bangs on both sides!
It will be such a dream come true to someday get a hair cut from you!
Loving the van life videos, insta stories and this minimalistic house! Totally understand the 'moment' Dionna had and honestly, that is what keeps thongs real amd relatable! Its like saying a person would be lyingnof he/she said there has never been a fight in his/her marriage. Much love and light to both of you ❤️. Hopefully the next 'home' is North Carolina 😊😍🤗
Amazing! Just did this on my hair and it looks great!! 👌🫶
This is my basic hair cut. My stylist is so wonderful, I have been with her for years.
Man- I love it after you blow dried it - fantastic!!!
Justin, loved this haircut. You said it can be used on an length hair. Could you show a haircut on someone who has hair just brushing the shoulders or a little shorter, please?
It is a beautiful cut. I cut my own hair with a little help from my daughter and pretty much do this . I tease a little at the crown (I can’t help it! I’m a victim of the 80s). I get compliments l❤
I feel you; I love a bump too!
I love how you cut your wife's hair! I had grown mine out for a few years. I have curly hair but like to straighten it often. My niece cut mine for me and used the texture Scissors. Of course, she went down too far! So I have a less-than-desirable look than I wanted. The back of my hair is way shorter than my front. And the sides, well there a mess. She left one side a little chopper than the other. So I just keep it curly for now. The curls look more stringy than before and the front just looks dry and more damaged. It's harder to brush out with the layers being so chopped. So I've broken and pulled a lot out, with all the tangles it's created. Your way looks much better.
Well I’m way past 65 and have a pretty minimalist approach to skin care and makeup, but luckily with good genes, healthy diet and keeping active , I don’t focus on looking younger, just happy , involved with those around me, a little mascara and I’m good to go. The people I see around me that look much older than their age seem to be unhappy, solitary and dissatisfied with their lives. I so appreciate Justin, he reminds me of what I should be doing to look my best.
Have a great day 💖
Awesome video Justin! I just gave myself this cut and I'm very happy with the result!! I cut about 2" off the back length, it's just below my shoulders, framed my face to mid cheek level and used the layering technique yoou shared. It's a better cut than MANY I've paid for over the years. TYTYTY! Happy trails😎 Darcy from Wisconsin
Isn't that the truth, I've paid for WAAAAY to many bad cuts, some stylists see curly hair and they run, last place I was the women looked at me flatly and stated in front of the entire salon, I don't do curly - Awe geez I said, I've waited six weeks for this appointment and being the hair orphan now, I had to find a way, Justin saved the day. Thank you Justin!!!
So now I know to ask a hairstylist to keep layers on the light side and texturize just the last inch! For the people below saying they cut it this way themselves, my question is: how?! How can you reach back there and if you do that'd mess up the angle, right? Feel free to make a video on how to cut and layer, or at least layer one's own hair! A very cheap place like Hair Cuttery can do a blunt cut but I've even seen them butcher that (totally crooked) and I'd be nervous to let them layer since the really cheap places can't guarantee stylists are very experienced at all or necessarily very good. Though it at least get those split ends off so am very glad it exists for those of us on a tight budget!
Your model/gorgeous wife could wear her hair any style. I learned a lot, loved the video. Safe travels.
Such a lovely, patient “model”! You can tell you guys “like” each other😄. Enjoy your travels….
My hair stylist does a very similar job. I have straight thick hair, and lots of it, thank God. She’s done so many different hair styles and I’ve loved them all.
This video was fantastic! You are very talented, and your wife is a beauty!
Justin I would like to Thankyou for your great videos especially on long hair. I have watched you since you first started on youtube. I took 3 screen shots of your wife’s hair from your videos as you were styling it, I printed them off and gave them to my hair dresser yesterday and she cut my hair the best I have ever had it cut . I absolutely love the layered style and even got a compliment when I went shopping today . Thankyou so much❤
Justin it is so difficult to find the right stylist. It"s also a downer when they won't watch your video. I love your videos. I would love this hairstyle. Dionna is a great addition! I understand when/if she gets upset with you! My mom was a stylist in the 40's (you know when perm machines came down from the celing!) If she cut my hair wrong I'd get so upset (age 18 -23.) Bless her heart! I'm in my 60's now & I'd love to have her back - but NOT to cut my hair! Lol
However, I really need you as a wonderful stylist and love to see your wife! She has the greatest expression when you're teaching!
Thank you for this! Super helpful
Wow, you described several issues that I am currently dealing with in my recent cut with a new stylist. I have thick graying hair with low lights and highlights put in. (I recently moved and found a new stylist.) I was letting my hair grow out to chin length but wanted layers that when I ran my hand through my hair it would all just lay in place. What I ended up with is exactly what you said, dog ears and over texturing so my sides look thin. Very bummed 😞. I am going to watch your other videos to see what else you share. Loved the outcome of your wife's style.
I've always said that men are better hair stylist. That's just my opinion. I had a guy that used to cut my hair when I was in High school and I haven't been able to find one since. I love the feeling of that wispyness. My hair is thick and it just feels so good to get a good haircut.
My bucket lists includes a trip to the USA and this haircut from you at your salon
I ask every hair person to cut my hair like this. Seasoned stylists can't or won't do it. It's frustrating.
That's is hard to believe since this is a classic cut. Sounds like horrid training. How do they keep their clientele?
Getting my hair done next week, but forwarding this to my stylist now!
This is so interesting….i never realized how much “geometry” is involved with creating cuts/styles. Very cool.
Wiffy, is so brave and brilliant!
I love all the videos as I learn sooo much from you both! Thank you! 😀💕🌺
Beautiful cut! Good luck on your journey to find a home! ❤️
I LOVE WATCHING A HAIR STYLIST CUT HAIR! ❤❤❤❤IT'S LIKE WATCHING A SCULPTOR SCULPT A STATUE
a good stylist is an artist and you are very talented.
That s why I see her often. Your wife is pretty. 😊
Get a stylist chair for your rig and you'll have us standing in line in every town you pass through!! Either that or move to Rolla, Missouri please! :)
I have fine hair and love the blunt layers, I find if you cut them to blend them you don’t see them what I don’t like. When you style blunt layers it makes my fine hair have more volume and looks thicker.
Great post. You are right, this is the hair cut I often look at. Diagrams were helpful along w/ your explanation.
I like yall's interaction😁😁😁 to each other..yall's cute couple.
Great video!
I've had the "dog ears", what a disaster! Love your work Justin
Love it! Wish I could find someone who could do that with my hair!
Love the tip to blend only bottom inch!
Brilliant..Love the standing up idea..I do that once its dry to check for graduation due to the chair..but I might change it up..thanks
Love your videos! Amazing how just a little trim and styling makes such a difference. Have fun on your journey! Consider coming to the great FREE state of Florida!!! There are so many beautiful towns here with tons of things to do! We'd love to have you! Tfs! Drive safely! 🌴🌞🌅😊
Thank you, I love this!
As a stylist, there is nothing more satisfying than hearing those shears snip closed. Some stylist love to do colour, I love to cut hair!
It shouldn't be so hard to find a stylist that know how to cut this way. This is a cut I learned how to do in beauty school. Point cutting came years later, but the basic cut should be what everyone was taught.
Exactly. I'm finding it odd that so many people are saying they can't get this cut. It's basic cutting technique.
I was not taught this whatsover and was thrown onto the floor knowing nothing but straight edge cutting. I left the school shortly after that. I think poor training runs rampant in this industry and explains all the horrific cuts I've had to endure in the past.
Wow, hairs looks amazing! Thank you for a video!
I actually finally found a stylist who knows how to give me the layers I want. I used to hate layers and I also would get bored with my hair and want to change it. But now my hair is so easy to style and I love my layers. My question is - where are Kevin and Benny while you're filming? How many times do you have to start and stop ?😄
thanks for your amazingly clear explanations and your wife has a lot of patience! Love the cut!
Thanks. I don't think k I could get a new stylist to watch the whole video , but my mom, a former stylist, did watch it, and the results were great
Would actually love to see this done on someone with super thin/fine hair. Then finding a good stylist and having them remain working where you go is exhausting.
