You seem to be ignoring face shape. Those with long faces look better with some volume of hair on the sides. It's not just about how the hair itself looks but also about how the whole face and head looks. On the reverse, if you have a wide face, that same hair style will look extra bad on you. The one photo you have of the older woman with a long face and shortish grey hair swooped up on top IMO is not that ideal for her in particular, the hair itself looks nice but it does not go well with her longer face. It accentuates the length of her face even more and gives her a cockatoo appearance. That hair would look good on a perfectly shaped face but it's not idea for a long face.

The hair cut I want to see is the person having their hair cut actually has thin fine hair. I want see what you come up with. As to style and products you use. Because nearly every time it will be said she has fine hair, but she has quite a bit. So let's see true skill make something out of very little.

Thankyou for this video. I went through chemo and lost all of my hair. I'm also a hair stylist...no such thing as former...I needed ideas on how to grow my hair back out! It was shocking to lose my hair and wigs are a God send but now I have a better idea on how to trim it as it is has grown out a couple inches. I will keep the back short and cut the sides as you suggested, graduating up toward the top. Also, will trim the back shorter because as it grows out it is looking shaggy along the nape. I will also grow the top out a little longer than before. My hair is thick and wavy and you don't know what you've got till it's gone. Just to let you know, I kicked cancers butt!!! And now I'm looking forward to better things ahead!😊 11:43

I also am 70 years old and have been doing hair for 45 years. I've always helped my clients with how to do their hair at home. If they can't do what I do to them they will not be happy. Also, for the ones that want/need to do their color themselves at home I help them with how to do that as well. Helping them builds confidence so they won't be worried about what they can do with their hair and also builds trust in the stylist. :) Love your content!!

I love this! You nailed it on the head. I’ve always thought that teaching clients about their hair and how to manage it it’s always the most important part of being a hairstylist. If you think of the clients needs first, sometimes that means teaching them how to, do things at home to fit within their time or budget. To me that doesn’t lose clients, that builds trust which is why I’m sure you have a really solid client retention rate as well. I always appreciate the feedback! Thanks a ton for the support!

@@danicave4564 I understand completely. At 64 ; was letting my hair grow long and even for 2 years. From 42 to 63 ,had short tight styles. Which was wash and go. No hair blowing or styling. In the 1970s. I had the Cher look. Then my hair starts turning Grey (salt & pepper), nice looking highlights. Not realizing that my hair texture changed. Show the girl a picture; thinking that's a nice cut. Remember; the customer is always right. After the cut ; she was using a medium round brush and then a hot iron. I said: I don't use those items. She said, it's for me to see the cut. It came out nice. But the next day; I wanted to cry. It looked uneven and horrible. When I try to style it. So now I'm letting it grow. And find another style. Which can suit me and my hair. Blessings for you and family. Greetings from Puerto Rico.

That’s beautifully refreshing. I’ve been cutting and coloring my own hair since I was in school. I just turned 40 and bleached my hair for the first time, almost no hair fall because I did crazy amounts of research. The last time a hairdresser touched my head I went in for a trim for my baby shower and she blow dried my curly hair straight! I was so mad!! Omg! Then when I asked her to put my curls back in my hair she got a 1.5in barrel curling iron and put big barrel curls in my hair… The manager ended up coming over because I was in tears, and asked me what was wrong. I said she straightened my damn hair, nobody ever asked for that! Wasn’t nobody else in this place but they needed to rush me out after trying to upsell and when I refused they STILL charged me almost $90!! I have MAJOR trust issues with hair stylists…

I am 75 and I wear my hair in a layered pixie-type style. On a previous video you recommended cutting the back in an M shape. I took a screenshot and brought it to my hair stylist. She said that was a terrific idea and we modified it a bit for my hair texture. It looks and feels so much better now, really emphasizes the volume and lift I am going for when I style it at home. Thanks for the tips. You have a new fan!

Thank you Justin! I feel like sending your video to every hair salon in my town! Since the pandemic I got so used to cutting my own hair that I still haven't found the courage to go back to professional hair stylists. The reason being that on leaving the hair salon I have to put on sun glasses and a hat so I won't get recognized on my way home! I have ended up with puffy "granny hair" so many times I just got fed up! It can actually be difficult for someone with silver hair to get a flattering and stylish cut because I've been told by hair stylists that I'm "too old" for some of the cuts I like. Why can't we clone you and have a Justin in every town and city in the world???

@Peggy O’Reilly' // don't let that get to you. I'm 60, and also have baby fine thin hair and have gone to (the best of the best), so they claimed. I always walked away with tears. Those stylist are used to people walking in with thick, luscious hair, which means they're really not good stylist at all, but just used to cutting one type of hair. (With the exception of Justin Hickox course). I decided to walk into a stylist recommended and it (wasn't a fancy dancy place) but was wowed by the stylist. She said that instead of putting her money in a nice salon, she decided her money would go into ongoing learning. I walked out with a blunt cut right above my shoulders, and my hair looks so healthy and voluminous. I'll never go to anyone else but her. I'm also in Texas, but the Texas Hill Country. Hang in there. I know you'll find the right place. Besides, that's why we watch Justin's great KZfaq videos. It's helps us not only learn the correct language when we do go to a stylist, but what to do and what not to do.

It was an epic fail. I now wear it long, in a shag. I have a very unique natural color, a silvery platinum blonde so I just enjoy it long and let my beachy waves flow.

On that note; I have paid high end prices where my hair has been butch*red whereas the hairdresser I now go to (and have been for a few years) is one that I found at a no appointment/walk-in establishment and she is totally amazing. i.e.: Give her a photo and she can replicate it but at the same time discuss its attributes or otherwise and no matter the style the result has been easy maintenance because of her cuts IMO. (BTW I'm 75 and she is 30 years old so is less than half my age.)

If you want a "shag" style, you have to ask for a mullet cut (lol). They'll know what that is...................Good Luck.

Thank you for your critique on these hairstyles. I agree completely. The stylist I went to cut my hair a pixie cut. Which is what I wanted. It was Extremely short. Longer on the top. I was so disappointed with it I took biotin to try to grow the hair as quickly as possible. It was a learning experience.

Right out of the box I can tell you that we are not going to agree. I love the shaggy pixie look. I've worn versions of it over the years and for me they grow out beautifully. As long as you keep the back trimmed it will be fine. I find it a flattering cut for any age and is a really great way to go from very long to short with far less trauma. Further, the illustrations you're using to demonstrate your point are often WIGS! I recognized several of the models who can be found on various wig site. Most notably a 3:21, You can't illustrate a problem hairstyle issue for real hair by using a model in a wig. The young woman in the blonde wig that you showed with an indentation in the hair (9:35) is not caused by the style but by the fact that the wig doesn't fit properly. Also, I truly dislike the cut on the older lady in the beige shirt (3:58 on the left). She's a beautiful woman, but that cut is too masculine and is emphasizing her long face and square jaw. Allowing the sides of that cut to be longer will fix the problem.

Great examples. Each of these five cuts look like a helmet and a hard pass. So dated, yet I feel the hair schools still teach these as standard techniques. It took a while after I moved to find my stylist. Loved her from the get go. Listens, restates what she hears, offers suggestions, great results and has an excellent memory each time I return. She adapted to my strange hair pattern and texture right off the bat as she specializes in curly & wavy hair.

@justinhickox Жыл бұрын

Thank you! You're spot on! Hairschools, unfortunately, are many times all about helping you pass the state board test and not how to utilize good technique. This is why I say, stylist should always go through an apprenticeship program. This also means, finding a salon WITH an apprenticeship program could help find a good stylist as they recognize that advanced training after school is critical.

@MusicLover-sb7mo Жыл бұрын

@@justinhickox That makes sense. My daughter used to be behind the chair. Went to Gene Juarez is Seattle (before they sold), received a scholarship to their advanced training school which required a 2 year contract to work in their salon. She specialized in cuts and always told me to be patient with future stylists because of my “weird” hair texture and unruly nape. She eventually went on to be an ops and education director for a chain of hip barber shops in Austin and Houston. Now works for a software company used by salons and barbershops to do inventory management, schedule appointments, take payments, process reports. She has clients all over the country and loves it. She refuses to cut my hair. Lol.

Turns out I used hats way more (keeping warm in the camper during winter while sleeping) and I also used hats/caps more because I spent way more time outdoors. We tend now to sleep with the heat off in our house, and I still have the habit of slapping a "nightcap" on my head, finding out that this contributes to thinning my hair during the winter!
