You have finally confirmed for me what I have been trying to explain to anyone who has ever cut my hair. I always ask them to please do not use thinning scissors, texturing scissors or use point cutting, as my hair is very fine yet thick. If it is not blunt cut it looks a mess and I like tidy layers. Since covid started I have been cutting my own hair(one year now) and I am getting better hair cuts than I would say 80 percent of the salon cuts I have gotten through out my life, and I am not young, LOL. Do hair dressers find it insulting when you ask them to cut your hair a certain way? I ask nicely but I am telling you I have had some horrid cuts. My hair is so easy to work with, I don't get it.
I'm with you there. I've been bouncing around numerous different hairdressers for about two years now, and although the last one talked a good game at consultation, she went on to use both thinning scissors and a razor, and bizarrely she actually began by 'cutting' the back/ bottom of my hair using a grade 8 clipper (I'm a guy, but I didn't have any kind of fade or short hair at the back, as it generally covers my ears). While she was working I was thinking: 'You're doing all the things that I've just asked you not to.' and 'Shouldn't you be using hairdressing skill to address those bits, not short-cut tools?' You expect it with a barber due to time constraints, but not from a time-served hairdresser. I'm tempted to insist on blunt-cutting next time, obviously not with that particular hairdresser though.
Same here!! I have fine hair with curls, waves and some frizz. I ALWAYS ask them not to use thinning scissors after a complete disaster hair cut. Due to the texture and how my hair dries sooo quickly 9 hairdressers out of ten leave me with wonky hair. I thought I had eventually found a hairdresser that cut my hair well, And I’ve been going to her for about 4 years now, but on the last appointment I wasn’t concentrating on what she was doing as I had a style change and she cut it from the middle of my back to shoulder length. Unfortunately after my first wash at home I knew she’d used thinning scissors. 😫😫😫 it was frizzy, split and a complete mess. This would have been easy to deal with if I’d left it longer as I’d have got it cut, but with it being shoulder length it’s just ruined my hair.
I used to cut my hair all the time and looking back at photos what’s when my hair looked it’s best. I think I’m going to have to start that again! I agree that most hairdressers get offended if I ask them politely not to use thinning scissors during the consultation.
Black shirt behind dark hair = hard to see and follow. Please think about background contrast and visibility.
@@seahorse82 Sorry :(
I don't know why the person who cuts our hair doesn't do exactly what you ask for, they're getting paid for it not the other way around. I found one who cuts my hair exactly what I ask.
Nice video, I actually learned quite a bit about point cutting. Word of advice though, maybe if you're working on dark hair, wear a lighter shirt? It's kind of hard to see lol. Great vid dude
I was thinking the same thing! I'm glad you brought that up. It was hard to see the difference!
Thank you for answering my question, helped me and hopefully other people a lot.
This is just what was needed during lockdown.. super informative and explained so precisely. Thanks
Thank you! This was so informative, loved the comparison between the two cuttings, you made it very clear
Yes! You understand that point cutting and texture does not blend smoothly. I always go back in and fix every texturized point cut. I tell them to blunt cut but they don't like to listen. Very frustrating. I cut my own hair now and it looks amazing because I know what works for me.
Same
Good for you. Stylists do the way they are trained. It's hard to find that professional stylist that will listen and knows what to do to get that look and style you're aiming for. Just so fkn frustrating!
your videos are great, I've learned so much! I even gave my mom a haircut by following one of your tutorials and I have to say, for my first time, it turned out so great! thanks to you!
Dude your hair looks so good.
I was just like wait isn't he bal- nvm 😂😭
@@rdiclst6908 seriously I was like "oh I guess he's just been shaving it in those other videos I saw?"
her hair totally rocks, dude.
Fantastic explanation and video! i've always noticed that my hair looks more piece-y and not so pleasant when I visit my local salon (point cuts like crazy) vs my local barber (exclusively blunt cuts). This is just my personal experience
this explains so much! It is extremely helpful to explain to my hair dresser what I want. Thank you!
You explained it so well. My favorite video by far on point/blunt cutting. 👍👍👍
Well you have helped me tremendously as a client. My thin fine hair has never responded well to point cutting and using the thinning shears but I didn't know what the technique was called. Once again, it was done to me and I am feeling the repercussions. I will now be able to go in and discuss not point cutting my hair. Thanks so much!
This has been so amazingly helpful. I have been wondering what does it mean to point cut? And I have tried to mimic when cutting/trimming my hair, but now I know the why and technique of how. Thank you so much for your openness of sharing your years of expertise/knowledge, some of us are struggling and must do things ourselves to save money. I really, really thank you for your kind spirit and giving heart.
You're amazing. My daughter has thick wavy hair and is well overdue a cut. No hairdressers taking kids under 10 atm due to covid. Thank you millions. Xx
I have been searching for 6 years for someone to blunt cut my hair like my "beautiful hair stylist of 26 years but who died suddenly" did. I have gone through probably 20 hair stylist now since she passed, and have finally given up because it seems they are just not capable of blunt cutting - at all. I recently gave up and have started cutting it myself. It seems this skill is not something taught in the schools, but you explained it magnificently and understand my dilemma. I could kiss you! I don't know where you are in the states, but I would travel there to have you cut my hair! Every single hair stylist I've seen since 2016 nods their head like they understand then proceed to point cut and I go home in tears.
Lol same!
yes
Same!
I have fine hair and even more so since my Graves Disease. Thank you for clearing this all up. I have always liked the blunt cut.
Thank you so much for the video, you are such a wonderful teacher!!!
Thanks for that. Helpful. I appreciate you taking the time.
Helpful! Thanks. My hair is fine and thin, and I've been trimming it myself. I was thinking of learning point cutting but now I think I will stick with leaving the ends blunt. II do get compliments on my shoulder length hair, it may not be very thick, but it's shiny and healthy :)
Every time I ask a hairdresser for a ‘blunt’ cut, they always end up ‘point’ cutting. It is so frustrating as I have fine hair but lots of it. Why do they not understand?? This is why I have purchased my own scissors and have started doing my own hair. I am not a hairdresser. However, most these days are in such a hurry, they never do the sectioning of the hair and layer it properly. There are so many crappy, passionless hairdressers out there.
Agree 1,000%. I should start a petition to make a law banning point cutting! I'm sick of some stylists trying to push it on you. I'm here tonight because I had my hair cut today and told the stylist not to thin my hair or using texturing techniques, just a blunt cut. I have thin straight hair, but lots of it.
She argued with me 3 times insisting on point cutting it. I told her I've always had a blunt cut, other than one time and I hated the point cutting technique. I had to tell her THREE TIMES not to point cut it. And then she pouted like a baby, tried to give some bogus reasons why she had to point cut it. Made zero sense what she was saying.

Ohhhhh, I wish you’d cut my hair! I have a ton of straight, unforgiving hair. Once it’s styled and then takes a rest....you see every cut, therefore I need a very skilled, perfectionist like yourself. I want to be able to blow it dry, hit it with a round brush then go on my way. A great haircut know where to fall. I have a point cut now and my hair is so confused. Loved your video!
Great video, thank you! Seeing the difference between the two styles at the end was so cool.
Thank you. So helpful! First hit and it was a perfect explanation.
Great video & explanations. Just a suggestion though: maybe don't wear a dark shirt while demonstrating with dark hair because sometimes we cannot see the ends of the hair very clearly when held in front of your shirt.
You would hate what I did this weekend. Got tired of the heat of my long hair, just grabbed it and attacked it with the scissors. My husband about fainted but still wouldn't help with the layers so I'm working on it as I have patience. Fortunately I have very thick fine hair and just enough curl to hide a multitude of sins. I did this once before at the beginning of Covid and had to laugh every time I received a compliment.
TSG I like your new hairstyle. It's good to switch it up every once in a while.
Thanks. Such great info and delivered in a very understandable way. I'm not a professional hair designer, but am interested in how to get the best from my hair and this really helped. You're great!!
I used to do hair, so I understand what you're saying. This is the first time I've seen this site..it won't be the last! 🙂 As to why so many places are doing what you don't want
Thanks for your tips. Just taking notes to cut my own hair. I’m not a stylist - but I always cut my husband’s hair and now due to Covid-19 I am cutting my own.
Excellent video! Thanks!
Thank you for explaining. Very informative.
Great video. I am going to attempt to cut my long layered fine wavy hair soon. I have done blunt cuts before so I think that will be easier for me.
Thank you for give me an understand of the difference between point and blunt cutting.
I found this video to be very helpful. Educational certainly. Thank you.
thinning hair and layering in one step by using longitudal method of cutting . takes bulk out of thick hair while layering it all in one . thanks for the techniques you shared .
Thanks for explaining it.. I would like better the blunt technique, since I'm older now and my hair has thinned out a bit.. great video and you explained it perfect!!🥰💞
Thank you so so so so so so much!! Great advice about fine hair!
Thank you!! Your explanation is on point
That really answer my question because watching the videos you hear them say point cutting but as I watch them points because I didn't understand it but now I get a clear understanding as to what they mean by point cutting thanks to you
AFTER A LIFETIME OF THIN FINE STRAIGHT HAIR BLUNT CUT I AM NOW THINKING BC THE CROWN IS THINNING AT 65 YEARS POINT CUTTING LONG LAYERS IN MY BOB WOULD CURE THAT OLD LADY BOWL LOOK MAKING MOVEMENT AND VOLUME. YOU HAVE GREAT PRESENTATION!
I prefer blunt cutting. I like having the clean lines at the end of my hair. 😃
Always love your video.
very informative definitely gave me a better understanding as a barber!! 👍🏻
I have naturally curly hair (that is also fine)that I like to wear straight as well, if I get it point cut, my hair goes wispy when curly with bits sticking out and when I blow dry and straighten it with irons, the wispy ends practically sizzle at the ends! I despair as I need blunt lairs ☹️ but Never get them now. No one listens and end up point cutting parts. I'm really frustrated, my hair rarely looks good after a point cut.
This video was informative thankyou
Everytime i watch one of his videos i suddenly want to get a haircut, i have no idea what thats about lol
I think you did a very good job showing the difference between the point cut and blunt cut. I think it looked best blunt cut then point cut in certain sections.
Great info!!! Thanks🙂
I prefer point cutting 👌😘
Thank you 🙏
I'm not a stylist, I just had my very long hair cut shoulder length. I've had it this length before & it was gorgeous & blended. I love the length but the cut is terrible!
I returned today to have more layering done....still not right. 😢
I have a VERY DISTINCT blunt top layer that doesn't blend in with the beautiful wavy almost curly hair underneath, I can't even scrunch it to make it look decent. 😭
I was at the store in the hair products hoping to find something to possibly enhance the top layer when a young woman & I were talking. She said she used to cut hair & what should have been done was a point cut. After watching your video....she was spot on!
So thanks to her AND your video I know what has to be done. Awesome video! Two years since your video but I hope you see this comment. ❤
Thank you, well explained.
He has hair!!!! I only saw his bald videos so I’m deeply in shock
I was getting so frustrated with stylists that I learned to point cut my own hair. I'd get a couple major haircuts or trims in a year and I'd maintain and shape it myself the rest of the time.
I really need a cut but don't feel safe enough yet to go to a salon. I am a curly girl, but my hair is fine, so I think I go for the blunt cut :) Wish me luck! :D
This video was very informative, thank you :)
9:15 This technique is so smart! Last time I cut my hair I accidentally cut a portion of my bangs too short near the top of my head but it actually kinda looked good because it gave the top of my head more volume. I'm gonna try to replicate using that trick next time
I have very thick curly hair and, when I lived in CA, hairdressers always layered my hair via the point cut method and I loved it. I recently relocated to the east coast and hairdressers have been layering my hair using the blunt cut method which results in too much volume. I tried to describe how I wanted it cut but was not familiar with the terminology, "point cut", which I prefer. I appreciate knowing the correct terminology and your demonstrating the difference.
Sadi T...
EXACTLY the problem I JUST had with my new cut yesterday &
I'm heartbroken at the results I got, returned today to have layers & couldn't seem to make her understand I CANNOT have a blunt cut. Now I have what I consider a bozo (straight blunt cut top layer) with my waves & curls underneath 😭.
awsome video, learned something new here !!!! :DD
Very helpful. Thanks.
Very helpful!
Your skill makes blunt cutting seem easy. I think my last hairdresser point cut because she was less accurate but it was much choppier and even though I have thick wavy hair I ended up with huge steps and holes in my hair. I then blunt cut throughout copying one of your videos on layering hair and it looks much better.
It can be difficult to see what you're showing at times when you have a mannequin with dark hair against your black T-shirt.
Amazing and sorry I wear black a lot lol
Well... yes! This is what I want and I do believe that I have my stylist on board now. But I still have a problem with my sides. I am lucky as I have medium to thick hair depending on weather it can slightly wave to frizz or in winter be heavier and straight. So this point cut is totally out for me. Thankyou for this video. Now if you have a video or 2 about angles and how to cut them , I seriously need advise for my sides now. I don't want the sides to angle like a bob, rather with my current style that is a shorter to the shoulder Cheryl Tiegs or even a blow out style of Farah Fawcett. Again thankyou.
Hi Stephen, you look amazing. Love this video.
Thx!!!
ty for explaining that.... my hair is very thin as i have gotten older... it used to be thick..... but i prefer the point cut i think because with my thin hair it makes it lighter.. gives it more bounce .. : )
Thank you so much!
🥰💞❤️ Sooo helpful, thank you!
Yes I agree the blunt cut is best for fine hair..i have tried the pointed cut and it was a disaster
Great knowledge
Thank you! I found this to be very helpful. I have a hair appointment in two hours and was going to ask for my ends to be point cut. After watching, I realize that point cutting is the opposite of what I want and need. I have fine hair and ends and am always looking for more volume. A blunt cut will be my request; thanks again!
Glad it was helpful!
@@TheSalonGuy I'm here tonight because I had my hair cut today and told the stylist not to thin my hair or using texturing techniques, just a blunt cut. I have thin straight hair, but lots of it. She argued with me 3 times insisting on point cutting it. I told her I've always had a blunt cut, other than one time and I hated the point cutting technique, made it look like I have split ends. I had to tell her THREE TIMES not to point cut it.
And then she pouted like a baby, tried to give some bogus reasons why she just had to point cut it. Made zero sense what she was saying. Why do they insist on doing this technique? Somehow I've survived my entire life getting blunt cuts, hence frequent compliments on my hair, yet she tried to push the point cutting on my hair three times. I was very polite, asked nicely each time. Ended up in a rotten mood when I left the salon. I should have gotten out of the chair and left after the first time she ignored me.

Excellent!
I enjoy watching your videos, what does using a razor actually do to the hair then? Thanks for sharing Steven
Yes, I have had this problem with hairdressers thinning my fine hair too much and making it look much thinner with that point cutting.
I did get through to an older hair dresser one time. I said, " can you blunt cut my hair when you are layering it into a short style. She seemed to be a bit puzzled but thought about it and did blunt cut my hair where she could. It was a nice haircut, my daughter said it looked good, I said "yes, it's because I asked the hair dresser to blunt cut it and it looks thicker."
I do notice that a lot of hairdressers seem to default to that point cutting as though thats what they like to do. I wonder why they are not taught at hairdressing school, about cutting this way on fine hair.
I got a surprise when you lifted up the head and turned it right around I had thought it was a real girl sitting there as I was focusing more on your cutting. I had to laugh.
Sick hair bro.🤘
I hate point cutting tried it on a piece hate the jagged edge, I prefer blunt cuts nice and neat. This video is very helpful
AMEN!!!
I'm the opposite here. My hair is very thick. All stylist did blunt cut till my current who now does deep point cut. It's the best my hairs ever looked. And she is the highest end I've ever gone. The piecy look is what works on my face.
Thank youuuuu!!!
grat info, wish they had U Tube in 1978 when I was learning cosmetology.Retired now.
Imagine rocking bald hair and looking good with it while also having hair and also looking good with it, you look good bro
Rocking the the my man
Lovely ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Sometimes ( In My Opinion and 28 years experience behind the chair) point cutting is the only way to go. When u have someone with thick poker straight hair and they want layers, for the hair to flow and look blended you have to point cut. If not, u will see every cut mark and the hair won’t look blended even if it is.
In my experience as a client it is absolutely achievable to have a well cut and blended layered hair. I have had the pleasure and experience twice in my lifetime when the hairdresser was keen, willing and talented and didn't mind spending extra time blending by blunt cutting by very fine section by section. The result was fantastic, stunning...Didn't require styling. Unfortunately I moved far far away 11 years ago. The rest of the times I had my cut it is in pieces due to point cutting, thinning, etc. Hair loses the shape and is out of control, looks a mess, no amount of styling can fix it. Never found a hairdresser since who was able to blunt cut and blend at the same time. It CAN be done. People either don't have the skills or are just lazy.
Could you make a video about grouping hair? My hair strands get separate after I shower and it doesn't look good.
I ordered the hair cutting Combs .
Thx!!!
Well you've just enhanced my taste.. I always request my hairdresser for blunt cutting when having my trims.. I like to see the scissor effect in blunt healthy ends .. Because anyway they will become jaggered at the next trim time..
Any advice on how to get these stylists to give us blunt cuts we want?
@@mintcrush2042 just ask and insist...
@@6972roni Yes but can they do it?
@@terezahs77 they definitely should be able to... Or else don't go again..
Could you make a video on Ronnie Radkes Haircut? Specifically the one from 2019 with the bleached hair? Would love to know what to tell my hairdresser!
Hello. I have fine hair and since moving away from my home town (and my stylist) I have not been able to achieve the hair texture that I like with the stylists in my new state. Often I feel stylists over texturize my hair, and it sometimes comes out looking frizzy at the ends, or thin at the ends (especially in the front), or like a series of little shards everywhere. I've been suspecting that I just haven't found the language I need to get the hair texture I want. After watching your video, I feel like I should be asking for a blunt cut. It seems like my former stylist must have blunt cut my hair, and then added some point cutting to the top to finish it off and add movement. Except, her point cutting seemed like it was kind chunky. Is that a thing, or am I full of it? Anyway, I can't figure out what she did.
To me the point cutting side looked fuller than the blunt side...I'd like to see it done on blonde hair bc I believe we could see those layers better...thx ..I will like & subscribe now.
Blonde fine bleached forever hair here. Personally, I feel much more feminine from feeling the weight of my hair and the way it swings wen I move my head. Those of us with fine hair have spent the entirety of our lives feeling as we have none because it HAS NO weight. Hope that helps explain why we choose blunt. 🙄 For me... it's about how it "feels" as much as the way it "looks"
Okay nah I was wrong about four undercut man,that looks great on you 😂
Good video
I only had 2 caucasian stylists who knew how to point cut. Most dont know what they're doing but blunt cut has a place in styling. Asian stylists on the other hand, know their ish.
Love the demonstration. Yes! Blunt cut for my fine hair. Some stylists don't listen. What's that all about???
They're fucking stupid and only know one technique. I've been to tons of stylists and they all insist on point cutting my fine hair. Idiots
My hair is short, and blunt cut in layers. Thank you for showing me how to point cut correctly. ♡
Thank you, I found this helpful. I would like to know what point cutting actually does to the hair shaft compared to blunt cutting, and what difference that makes to how the ends look. For example does it literally taper each individual hair a little at the ends, or does it make no difference in that sense?
Yes thank u
Thanks you
Isn’t point cutting a way to make it blend better? When I was in hair school in 1995, they didn’t even have point cutting. I have never learned point cutting but to me it seems much harder than blunt cutting cuz you kinda do both with point cutting, right? The other guy is right about changing your shirt color cuz we can’t really see much. I do appreciate you making this video, thank you.
I really like your video, I rather point cutting because I have thick hair,
Love your hair but your previous style 😇 was becoming as well👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
My first time seeing him with hair.
@thesalonguy Hi! What type of blade for deep point-cutting for an amateur? :) micro-serration, beveled etc? (I have understood the convex blades are best in general, but, I also know they are more expensive)
Really appreciate the reply - not easy to find an answer to this question online.
This is a great video! Thank you for sharing the difference between blunt cutting and point cutting. I always wondered about this. I have a question.. do you think point cutting is better for fine thin hair or do you prefer blunt cutting better. I think you said in the video, point cutting is better for flow and blunt cutting makes it thicker. Did I understand that right? Thanks for sharing with us! I really appreciate all the knowledge your so willing to share.
Yes he said blunt for fine hair. Sorry a little late commenting!
If you have fine hair, it should be a blunt haircut
I don't know why I watch cutting hair videos but I think ik more then my hairstylist so I juts see how to cut hair so one day gonna cut my self
