Hi you guys., Do you like my new scarf Just kidding? It'S my sisters, hair, It's ridiculously long, And I love it long and she does too. But look it's the whole length of my arm. And the thing is that she just brought in. I had no idea that she was going this drastic She brought in this picture. I don't know if we can show the inspiration picture., It's like a short bob blonde. It'S super short you guys i'm freaking out here. So this is the picture she brought me off of the internet, okay, so the color and the cut. So here we go. You guys holy cow, i'm just going to stick this in a ponytail and get out my dull, no dull there. My sharp shears that I don't use anymore, because i'm not going to use my super nice shears to cut this thick of dry hair. It kind of dulls your shears out, so I tend to use my extra pair when I do stuff like this. Here we go we're going to chop it off, i'm going to start with just like a little section, because it's too hard to cut all at the same time holy cow, see that was too hard. You have to do a little bit at a time. It'S longer than i'm actually going to cut it, but I want to be able to be more precise when I do all that. Oh holy cow, that's a lot of hair. I don't know what to do with it now: okay, now we're going to wash it and then i'm going to do the haircut. Alright, i'm going to go through with the matrix oil, wonder shark cut oil and just mist it through that reminds me of Christmas. Now I want Christmas back just kidding, I need summer it does smell like Christmas. Okay, here we go comb through the hair holy cow. I can't believe we're doing this. You are going to look so cute, okay, so i'm going to just part it in a tee parting part it down the middle. Where do you want to part it actually on this side? So i'm actually going to part it where she's going to part her hair in the haircut picture. It was like a side part and it didn't really have bangs right. It was kind of just like layers, okay, so I have it parted there. Then, in the back. I'M going to bring it back over to the middle of her head and then part it straight down the back, so in the back, i'm going to bring it back to the middle and part it straight down. Alright, here we go so for the back. It doesn't really show in the picture, but you can just kind of leave it up to your own opinion or interpretation, and so what i'm going to do is i'm going to do slight stack in the back just so she has a really cute shape back here. Just a little bit right in here and then the rest of it will kind of be like layered, it's kind of like a layered bob, we're going to start back here in the nape section and we are going to establish our length. So i'm going to get my shears out and right in here I think that's a good length if you're not sure you can move the hair away and see where it starts to grow on it's own about right there. So that's like a good place to start and i'm just going to try and comb it down, push it against her neck by turning the comb over and a nice clean line so rolling the comb in and around their neck. Like this, it really does help to get all those tiny little hairs from under neath, so that they're not longer and poking out, because if you were to pull it out here and cut when you let it down, these hairs would be longer and push out. That'S why I like to do that roll and then i'm going to get a little bit of a curved shape going on here, make sure you're being gentle with the comb you're, not digging it into their neck or scalp, it's more of just like a roll and A press with the back of the comb and not a scratch or a claw. It should not be painful at all every once and a while. I grab both sides and pull them down and you can kind of just feel if one is a little bit longer. Alright, so that is the length so now we need to do some fun layering graduation in here, so you can do this a few different ways. You can pull this straight out and razor it out, or you can go ahead and part it down the middle and pull it out at a diagonal. This would give more of like a a line shape pulling it straight out is going to be more of just like a softer straight across layered look, so i'm going to pull it straight out just because I don't think she really asked me for an aline right. Okay, so i'm going to take my razor now and everything down in here will stay the same when I lift this up, that's al going to still be really straight line nice and straight and everything when you lift this up. This is all just kind of heavy and nobody really needs the heavy thickness right there. It'S prettier, if it kind of rolls in with the shape of the head, so we're going to get rid of that. We'Re going to pull it out here and we're going to just do some fun razor cuts, pulling it straight out and i'm bringing it up to like right here on the bump this bone of her head, so it kind of rolls until you get to this bone. That'S about where i'm bringing my fingers. I wish i remembered the name of that bone, the occipital bone and then i'm just pulling it out and razoring it out and i'm kind of keeping a straight plane here and you can see when you let it down. It has all that pretty texture in it, but it still has a solid line down in here. If it's a little too thick in the middle, which a lot of times, it is because the hair kind of grows in like this, you can just pick it up and razor a little bit out to texture. It use your eyeball like just kind of eyeball things. Sometimes, when you're doing razor cuts, just carving the shape - and it's just really fun also when you're doing razor cuts, make sure that you have a new blade, because it's just painful and ruins hair to use a dull razor blade so make sure it's nice and clean And fresh here we go yeah, I got if you guys are wondering where I got this little mini skirt cutting apron. It was at the redken symposium and it's Velcro, and I love it. It'S so convenient i'm getting used to using it still, because I keep forgetting and running over to try and find clips and my scissors and shears and stuff my razors. But then I remember that they are all just right here. So it's nice and i'm getting used to it and i'm really loving it. Okay! So now we're going to start taking sections of the back of her head, so i'm going to take from the very top of her head. If you lay the comb on there, where it balances, that's where we are going to go from to the back of her ear and i'm going to clip off the front section for now now we have all this back section that we need to do something with. Let me get my shears back out, so these are the swivel double sharkfin shears, and I just wanted to remind you guys that the coupon code is still good. If you want to get a pair any pair of sharkfin shears. The hair 101 coupon code is still active and works so check it out. But now we're going to take this section of hair right here in the middle we're going to do about an inch that was a little too wide and we're going to do a little bit of some round layering here. So we get to start where all of this fun razoring is you see it right there and i'm going to go just a little bit longer and i'm just going to point cut with these shears and i'm going to go with the shape of the head. So this is at 90 and them i'm going to recomb. This is at 90 from the head 90 degrees from the head and then, when you get to the top, you need to take off that little shelf, because this also needs to be 90 degrees from the head. So that's how you do round layers and you just follow the shape of the head that way when you let the hair down. You have these really soft layers that are really blended, because you did a 90 degree haircut or round the ears. So i'm going to go ahead and do that from this point over here and then go back over here and start from here again and go over here using half of the section that I had just cut and combining it with another half inch of new hair. So it is a traveling guide and if you lose your guide and i'm doing these deep point cuts, because I want to keep it really soft, I don't want to have a lot of blunt hair in there. You can see by pushing the comb against the hair where your guide is, if you ever lose it, and if you still can't find it, then you probably need to take a smaller section doing a 90 degree angle from the head every where and I love these Shears, because I can relax my shoulder when I'm doing stuff like this and turn my thumb and my shoulder feels so much better. Since I got these, you guys, I used to have the worst knot in my shoulder all the time. So I love that it took a little while to get used to putting my thumb back in here and palming them, and they are a little bit wider, but I really like them not all of their shears. Are this wide? If that is something that concerns you, but okay, so grabbing off this section again, okay, so this last section right over by her ear, I am going to over direct it back a little bit, because I want to start building a little bit more length around her Face so that she can get a little bit of a curling iron in there because she wants to get some loose waves in her hair. So this one i'm going to pull it backwards, but i'm still pulling it up layering it the same. Okay, alright and then this obviously never got cut from the back. So i'm going to take this down and blend it in. I do want to keep some more length on the front so that we can razor it and play with it later. Sometimes, if i'm not sure about a section, I like to just leave it there, because it's not hard to razor it out once it's dry and even do some fun detail and leave it there a little bit longer or something. So if i'm ever wondering what should i do with that piece, sometimes i'll just make a mental note and say i'm going to leave that there and play with that when it's dry. I don't really know if I want to chop if off, because it could be something really fun. So i'm going to go over to the other side, and this can be a little bit trickier because you guide is on the opposite side that you are cutting. But you should be able to take smaller sections and still see what you are doing. I hear Ender up there yelling. This is pretty much all like virgin hair. Now we're cutting off all of the color and then this last section i'm going to just pull it over a little bit. Okay, so the basic cut is in the back. Now we are going to work on the front and sides. Oh now, it seems like you have so much hair now like it seemed like you have thinner, hair and now it's like you have tons of hair. That'S the one things! That'S so fun about cutting off all of this hair. Okay. So i'm going to take this section right here on the top of her head and just kind of start to blend it back in. I do want to build more length in the front, so i'm going to take this section right in here the first inch and now i'm going to over direct it. This way and cut an angle like this, so that I can start to build a little bit more length. So if you go like this, and if you pull the hair straight like this and then cut it, it actually is longer on the front than on the back see now you can see if i pull it back over to the 90 degree. We have this angle, so i'm going to do that, and i'm also going to be pulling this hair back over to this stationary guide right in the middle and just piece at it that way. Okay, so now that top section is done, okay, so now I need to establish the length on the bottom before I start to layer up any more of this. So i'm going to go back in here and i'm going to decide it's about right there right and i'm going to go a little longer rather than shorter, because every time I do haircuts really dramatic like this, I want to leave like an inch of workroom to Razor and texture just to make sure we can get the right look that they want, because if you cut it as short as the picture looks and then you texture an razor, then all of a sudden they feel like their hair is a little bit too short. So I always err on the side of a little bit long, because it's easier to cut it shorter than grow it out. So i'm going to go ahead and start back here, and this is just the perimeter i'm going to deep point cut in blending it into that back and then I always just gradually have it increase in length coming towards the front and that's easy to do. Just pull the hair and over direct it back then it automatically does that for you and then, when you pull it forward, you have a little bit more length, so that's still a little bit longer than she wants it, but when I layer it and everything it Will be okay to have more length than not enough? Okay, maybe we'll do a tiny bit more and remember also when it dries, it shrinks up a little bit, so that will probably be good once we get layers in and because half of this will be gone and it will be a little bit shorter. Okay. So now we're going to do that to the other side, try to match those lengths up you're going to have to get in front of the client a few times and comb. It straight. Just compare the two sides but you're going off of the guide in the back. That should be pretty similar, so it's kind of where you start, and this is the side of her hair. That is a little bit thinner because she parts right here leaving less hair on this side, so just be aware of that, while you're cutting too little bit more and then looking at her that's about the same on both of those sides a little bit more right. There, okay! So now we are going to layer this up a little bit so on the sides, we're going to start taking a little bit of the back section and a little bit of her side right here. I'M going to do this with the razor. So here we go we're going to pull this out and i'm just going to take my hand underneath the hair like this and i'm going to razor out her hair and then down in here you can do it softly see. This is where you can play with that chunk that you left long too, and the haircut that she showed me the little inspiration picture. It was really soft layers, but there was definitely some shorter pieces up in here. So I like doing that with the razor. I think short haircuts really need razors a lot of the time to give that piece, look that they want and we're starting from about there, because that's where our guide is we're just piecing it out, you have a little bit of a natural curl, so it's going To kind of go like that, that'll be fun and you can kind of play with the hair. When it's wet like this and see what it's doing, I can see that she has a little bit of a natural curl and that's how the picture was. So. That'S good, but if anything looks to thick or too heavy or blunt, I can just go in and pencil out or carve in a little bit of texture in the ear there alright - and it might be a little bit long in here now alright cute lets. Do this side a little bit less on this side, because there is not as much hair but still trying to keep the first layer, starting where the guide shows. I love it already. You love it already. It is really cute wet. Even oh, my gosh, your hair is short, i'm so excited alright. So I feel like at this point it's where we would want to start drying it up and i'm not done cutting. It needs some more texture, obviously, and the back is probably going to need a little bit of detail work too, but I want to dry it up and see what we have so far so lets do that. Okay, so now it's dry - and I didn't do anything but just finger dry - it because I wanted to see her natural wave and stuff it in and everything. So I can see right here. It'S a little bit heavy still and of course I knew it would be, because I was being really conservative with this side, knowing that it was the thinner side of her hair. But now I can go back in with the razor and if your razor feels dull at all, just change it before you dry cut with it. It needs to be really a fresh blade if you're, dry, cutting and up in here the layers are still kind of heavy, even back in the back, so i'm going to go through with the razor now in the back, and I always just start back here. I kind of like this shape that it has, but if it's a little to heavy somewhere, you can just piece it out alright. So i'm going to start right here, i'm going to pull this hair up and even though we point cut it, it still has a little bit of bluntness going on. So i'm just going to pencil a little bit of texture, and this is amazing for short hair. Let me just tell you, especially if they have some fine hair, which hers is a little bit fine, because it just makes it feel like it's so much thicker. You can see right there, all those short pieces that I just cut. They are going to stand up and hold all of this hair up, so she's going to have all this body and texture throughout her hair. So this is kind of what I feel like cutting the style into her hair is because then they style it. They are not going to have to try very hard to make it look good blowdrying. It is going to be pretty much all they need to do and a little bit of a finishing tool over it. You can see right here. It'S a little bit blunt still. You can even take thinning shears if it's blunt and you don't want to take out too much with the razor okay. So right here, if there's a little bit of a blunt spot, I just take the thinning shears to it and that blends it right in and right in here too, a little bit blunt so right there, it looks like I need to. Actually, there must be like a little bit of a corner right here that needs to be taken off because it kind of isn't' blending yep there. It is i'm just going to point cut that out. It'S a little bit easier to see these things once the hair is dry, see, that's a lot better. It lays in there now. So that's a little quick fix. If you have something that looks a little different, then it's probably because it has to have a little bit of point cutting little bit of love to blend it in when you do dramatic cuts like this. I promise you guys you are always going to need to do a lot of texturing, because the hair has no texture in it. Unless you stick it in there, if you are retouching or trimming up a haircut, that is short, you usually have a decent amount of texture to work with. So the trim is pretty easy, but I always find that when I chop someones hair off it needs a lot of texture lot of love to get it to look finished. Okay. This is like a long little tail here, kinda cute, but it's going to go away. There we go and i'm going to pencil it out a little bit too soften it up. Alright! So now i'm going to go over onto these i'm going to finish the mohawk actually, so I had done some texturing from like here back with the razor i'm going to finish up here on the top doing the same thing, i'm going to start up here and You can take a pretty big section, the bigger the section you take with the razor when your doing this kind of thing, the less hair you're going to be taking out, because if you take a tiny little section and do that same pressure with the razor, it's Going to take out almost all of it, so if you take a bigger chunk, then you're just going to be texturing. The back side of it and you'll still have more thickness to leave through the front. So keep that in mind and then there's a little bit more here. So i'm layering this up a little bit with the shears just because I don't want to get it any thinner, because it's on this thinner side of her head. But I do notice that it needs a little bit more layers and then just over here, i'm doing the same thing just point cutting to blend in that section a little bit alright. So what do you think? I love it yeah. Let me do a little bit of slide cutting right here, just to frame your face a little bit more. Alright, you guys, so i'm done with the cut. I feel like it's good now I still have to go through and color her. She wants to be a really light blond, maybe with a little bit of a dark root, so we're going to color it and we're going to do a color video and it will be available next week. Here'S a picture. However. I will show you a before and after of the color and the cut done together right now and just be patient for next week, and you can see how i did the colors. So i'm not going to curl her hair right now. But you will see in the picture that it is curled and colored in the after picture. So thank you guys so much for watching, and i hope that this was helpful for you guys I love doing short haircuts. I think they are super fun. You just have to keep at it and make sure you do lots of texture and don't go too short. Obviously and you'll be fine, so don't be afraid to chop off hair, and let me know what you guys think and if you want to see more videos like this comment below and please go and follow me on instagram facebook.

Comments
Sarah McKinney: I'm a first year Cosmetology student and I realize I still have a lot to learn, but I think April did a great job! She isn't finished with the hair yet in this video. She hasn't colored it or fixed it. This is just the cut. April has a video on pin curls and the fingerwave that really helps me! I hope you ignore haters, April, if you're reading. You've helped me in school! <3
May Baez: i'm going to ask my daughter to do this to my heavy curls. :) you're so great explaining the texturing. i used to have a big hair with curls but my hair is now thinning so texture would really be great to achieve such a wonderful shape. hope you can share styles for heavy curls. thank you
LucilleB: I love this haircut! I wish you could do mine. I went into a salon a few years and requested a similar haircut--I even took photos. The cut didn't come out even close to how I wanted it, and the beautician said that my hair was "too thin" for the cut I wanted. You, however, show that this cut can give body to thin hair. Anyhow, my experience was so bad that I haven't been into a salon since.
Rosy T: I loved your video, my daughter likes a hairstyle just like yours and she has so much trouble finding someone to cut it just the way she wants it, since her hair stylist retired. You’re good at what you do!!!
Carrie: I think you did a wonderful job of illustrating how to do a short hair cut. I am so glad you cut it both wet and dry. So many people just cut it wet, and send the mistakes home with the client. You can not accurately finish cutting someone's hair without seeing how it lays when it is dry.
Robert Ryan: Even though she had made the decision to have her hair cut, it still was an emotional outcome. Been there!
potatoluver63: LOVE! You remind me of a stylist I used to go to who has since moved out of the area. I really miss her. I think you did an expert job and loved the explanation of the techniques and why you were doing them. I now have a long bob that I am itchin' to get about 1-2 inches trimmed off. My current hairdresser is on maternity leave so I still have a few weeks to wait before I see her. Thanks for the video!
Black Widow: WHAT an informative, incredibly well documented video!! In focus, exactly at the right angle (all the time), sound quality GREAT!! It is SO well put together!!! Thank you so much for the trouble you took to share your knowledge with us!!! This is SO selfless of you!! Your sister simply looks ADORABLE!!! xxxx
k asdfg: I loved it! Informative and easy to follow, no screaming music or background noise, no one trying to be cute or foul language. I love the furniture, too, btw! Anyway, I feel like I could actually try a cut like this after watching, it was that good. Pay no attention to all the crap comments. It was very well done, and she looks great!
Susan King: What an adorable cut! The color is beautiful! I am wanting something similar, maybe a bob with 3-4 different color highlights; caramel, light brown, and dark blonde. You did a great job! xoxo
Peg Carter: I must not have seen what many of the other viewers did. I never thought the sister was upset or about to cry. And I thought the cut made her look old, just a bit more grown up. Maybe she finally decided to leave the teenage years and join the world of grown ups. I like this cut so much I shared it with my daughter, the hair stylist. I'm going to get a cut tomorrow and I want it done like this. And whoever commented that the stylist was razoring and thinning so much because she's lazy, doesn't understand hairstyling. I'm a retired barber and understand the nuances this gal did and I think she did a great job. Thank you for doing this video.
daisypoojo100: Love how April still rocks the 2000 mullet emo hair cut
Susan Mueller: I wish you lived near me!! I love your videos because you go into specifics (eg angles of hair to head, hair thickness, etc). Would you please consider showing us how to do a pixi or asymmetrical pixi short haircut? Maybe you could do a video or series where you discuss (1) promblematic issues and how to deal with them (eg. cowlicks at the neck or forehead, hair that sticks out straight in the temporal area in men's hair), (2) how to color black hair so it looks natural or (3) how to cut your own hair (eg. short hairstyles). Thanks!
Al Moore: I can't help but think that the growing out process is going to be brutal. The sister looks stunned.
NgocTram Huynh: Thank you so much for the tutorial. I never had any proper haircuts like that before, since I was born. Now I am over 50 years old and still dreaming of having such a beautiful haircut for just once in my life from a good hairdresser like you.
J Mills: The cut looks absolutely adorable and very fitting to your model as well. It seemed to have melted years away from her!
Bravescatz: would have been a great opportunity to do a couple of medium cut tutorials before cutting short.
Lapi Ana: Completely lovely :) Thank you for sharing your knowledge xx
Sharon La Tour: When i do go get my haircut, I like it where the stylist talks only to me about my hair. I do not want him or her to have another conversation with anyone else while cutting my hair, it tends to be distracting the stylist and mistakes will be made during the haircut. I do not say too much during the cut, i sit straight in the chair, I do not smile, and i keep my legs uncrossed and feet together. So all of you who think sister is sad, she may be just trying to not move or say anything so as to get a good cut.
Health and gardening: Miss your videos April, hope you start making more vids again one day. Hope you and your family are well and life’s treating going great for you all
Madam Melisse: I love the Outcome! I had the same expierence couple of Days ago. I decided to cut my 9 inch long hair to some kind of Bob. Left side: Shortened it to 1 1/2 inch length , right side around my Chin-line. Kinda like yours, just way shorter =)
Karen L.: I think she was just in shock. I've gone from long to very short and there's usually a bit of panic of 'what did I just do?!" but then later I like it because it is so much lighter feeling. I don't equate short hair with looking older, I think shorter hair can make someone look more put together than just blah long hair that is always up in a bun or pony tail. This makes me want to cut mine again...
Ann: She looks beautiful. I did that a few years ago. I always want my long hair back, but I look so much better in short hair. She does too! I bet in a few days (that's what it took for me) she was loving it.
fairylovr33: This was a great video! So glad I found it and got to watch the drastic transformation, it looks amazing on her and yeah .... I was thinking dang they really look alike in the beginning of the video then at the end I was like wow! ... they could totally pass as twins now! Just sayn
dede4004: I like the finished cut. My hair is super long, and would like to get a long Bob cut, but am afraid of stylists cutting it ALL OFF......which has happened several times already. Why do hair stylists HAVE to cut ALL your hair off, when you ask for a LONG Bob cut. They DONT listen, and still do what THEY want.
LeeAnn Watson: Hi April, I think the cut is way healthier looking, I love it ! Lots of texture and volume! Good job!
Michelle Owen West: She looks like she's holding back tears at the end. I hope she was able to adjust to the change, but my goodness she looks like it's all she can do to hold it together for the video by the end.
Christine Brown: i love the pivotal shears, been using them for a year, it didnt take me any time at all to get used to them, i felt comfortable with them almost right away
2 ATVS AND OUR LIFE: Wow i love this!!! I had long hair like this then got it cut this short. I cried but knew someone would benefit from a wig. Love watching your vlogs, old and new! What camera do you use in this vlog?
Andrea T. Cote: Someone who actually knows what they have to do to shape hairstyle. Like she said the person should basically only have to blow dry shouldn't take hours to style it once you get home. We as clients need more hair artists that can shape our hair! Wish you lived near me. I find it VERY difficult to find a good hairstylist and Im not high maintenance, I just want a good haircut for my head, not a generic, chop here chop there and it looks like i cut my own hair lol. Kuddos to you!
Seema Rawal: Beautiful haircut .You re an artist; the patience with which you cut the hair and the whole explaining part. ,real commendable .
Squid: i'd love to have a sister who actually knows how to cut my hair... that would be soo awesome..
Judy Peterson: Would love to see more haircuts and how to style them. I have very curly back of my head and natural wave on the rest. I’m finding it difficult to get a style I love.
Theresa M: Love the cut. I lreally enjoy your teaching techniques. Been a stylist for 8 years but only part time and I enjoy the techniques you use..thanks for the videos
E. Green: Love it! I like the way she explains stuff. She is a real deal☺
Dalila Vargas: I love how shocked with her getting her hair cut & she's just so calm.. Lol. It's usually the other way around..
J Mills: Watching you is like watching myself in a mirror! You make such precise sense! PERFECT!!!
Adam Palagi: I totally enjoyed watching you create this new look. I'm hoping I can get a similar look. I am a 64 yr. old white/silver haired women & I just love how you layered this style. My concern is that i have such very fine hair that I don't know if this can even be done. I sure hope so. I sented this video for my family, friends, & the person who'd be doing the cut if Lisa Pascale will be available. Wish me luck. I've got an April 2018 wedding..
Liz Menchaca: I love it! I can only wish that she ended up loving it too. Soooo many negative comments on here. While yes she looked like she wanted to cry, there might have even a reason for the change in hairstyle. Maybe she was going through a difficult time. Any how, kudos to her.
Diane McMahon: You're very good and this video was fun and educational. I attended cosmetology school in 1970 so I have to keep up on technique even tho I haven't been in the business for well over 30 years I still cut for friends and relatives occasionally. I still know a natural when I see one :)
Adriana Japiassu: Ela ficou linda! Parabéns pela coragem de mudar, isso é para poucos! Gatíssima! Linda! Muito jovem!
Sarah Plain and Tall: Beautiful! Thank you for showing and sharing the viewers the technique.
Renee Van Matre: Loved this video! Her hair looks awesome. I cut off my long hair this year with a similar end result and I love it! Never going back! Keep up the awesome work!
Kathy McCoy: I love the final you are very detail oriented and do fabulous work! Have you done a video on finding the right hair stylist ? I'm so over getting bad hair cuts and sloppy results with my hair color my hair stylist used to be great but now I'm more often disappointed than not. Maybe I ask too much but watching your videos leads to to think it's possible to get what I want if only I knew how to find the right stylist. Btw I'm a new subscriber and just started following you on IG too!
Ruqaiya Ali: I love it!! I so need someone to do my hair like this.. wish you could do it for me!!!!
alisa fulena: I just did the same thing last month! I had 20" total cut off but 15" of it was cut into a ponytail that I donated. The hairstyle I got was the same, just a couple inches longer in the front.
Char: thank you , loved the way you explained everything..
Jacee K: I love this cut! It looks great on your sister... the fun layers and style just "brighten" her up. I have a terrible time finding a hairdresser to cut my hair similar to this. The only difference is I prefer my layers to be a bit more "piecey" and "choppy". I've resorted to cutting my own for the last 5-6 years. Not easy to do when I'm an OT and soo not a hairdresser...and layering especially in the back is extra hard. Thanks for sharing.
Amy Polzella: I had brown hair to my belt and went to my SIL and said chop it and bleach it. She was like you're crazy, she didn't believe me. 16" came off, still wasn't enough, I keep going shorter and shorter. I'm about to get it above my shoulders next time. I wanted to go above my shoulders originally but she keeps thinking I am not serious. Granted, I used to cry if she'd take more than an inch at a trim lol. I'm almost to where I want it, we'll keep trying.
Helene Tessler: Beautiful cut! She looks modern and her eyes are now gorgeous and really stand out. Wish I had a Sister like you.
Hope Basner: I am on You Tube to learn to cut my own hair, but I'm glad I took time for this. April, I really enjoyed watching you create this style. I would love to see a video of you doing a cut without instructing....music perhaps. Your movements when you are most into what you are creating flow beautifully. You are a true artist. Watching you reminds me of a wonderful movie I saw over 30 years ago titled "Edward Scissor(s)hands." And I think you would see that as a compliment. I am going to look for a more recent video to watch now and see how you have progressed in two years. Nothing but success, I'm sure. I wish you were located close to where I am so that I could have you style my hair. The last true artist I had access to was 10 years ago....sigh.
aby: Love this haircut! How did you curl her hair?
Leigh Ann S: I love your cut April!! So cute!!
commonsensebeliever: Great cut and she has such a lovely hair color already!
AlsbeanNaturally: @hair 101 with April, hey April, i watch your videos a lot! I am a hairstylist too. I was wondering, if there was somewhere or a sight that I could purchase that skirt supply holder thingy. Its supper cute and convenient. Love your sisters cut. Ignore all the shade from the haters.
Gail Bender: I think she looks beautiful and I love the cut! Not ONCE did she look like she was going to cry and I don't understand where people get that. In my opinion, she didn't go overboard with the cutting. If you think that's overboard, you should see my next to last cut. It looked like I had no hair on one side of my head because I wear it bleached. It was SCARY! Seriously. People that share their professions on youtube are brave because there will always be a group of naysayers that will criticize their work. SMDH.......
Meridian Heights: WOW!!! I've been watching your videos for awhile. This one is my favorite, so far. I'm still in barber school. I think I just learned more about womens haircutting and texturizng in 30 mnutes than I have in 13 months of schooling!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you, SO much!!! :)
Jo: Beautiful hair cut! I would love to have you stop saying “chopping the hair”. You are such a professional all the way through except sounding like you are in the woods chopping a tree. Maybe as a stylist myself, it’s offensive to me because the client always says “I’m ready to chop my hair off”. I truly cringe! I do not use an axe, and I do use cutting techniques that are like you; above and beyond. I teach and constantly tell my students you don’t “chop hair” and you don’t “pluck eyebrows” I hope you understand I think you are great and would love to recommend they watch you; because you don’t swear; you explain well and you have a great sense of humor and style. Good luck to you in your vocation; I can really tell you love it! Thanks for sharing
Peggy Kalcsa: You have cut your sister’s hair very nicely done. My hair is very dried out as well . It needs a hair cut badly to rid all that dry damaged hair. I’m as well thinking of getting my hair layer cause my hair looks pretty thin and dried out . It’s helped me to be not as afraid to get my hair layered and back into health hair again . you did a great cut . I can’t wait to see the finished touch.
Kirsten Houseknecht: as someone who has long hair and did my whole life (yes longer than that usually) may i say... if you cut a long hair girl hair? she is going to be stressed. she may cry even if the hair cut is PERFECT even if the hair is EXACTLY how she wanted it. its traumatic to go that drastic a difference for a lot of us. heck i get stressed cutting it to my shoulder blades!
E Mack: You did a great job with your sisters lovely hair. Pay no attention to the nasty criticism from cyber critics who probably have no talent or skill at anything. A big to do is made about your sister's solemn face, but some people are naturally more reserved than others.
karen jones: you're an artist! love it!
Leo Font: Her long hair was beautiful, and just because there is a new hair cut trend it doesn't means that everyone is going to look good wearing it
Lindsay Carter: Gorgeous cut !!! I LOVE IT ❤️
Sharon Huff: Can you please show some videos of appropriate haircuts for heavyset very round faced women over 50 I prefer short to mid shoulders myself but am never happy with how VERY round everything seems to make my face. You do an AWESOME job from what I have seen.
Raquel Knowles: Beautiful work ...thank you for the step by step tutorial.
brownidlion: Wow, she's not happy with that cut! I would have cried!
Tearria Howard: I love it you did an awesome job..girl!
Nadelle Cullis: I want to see what your sister's hair looks like a year since you cut it. Please? (Maybe you've already posted another clip?) When I'm tired of long I want someone like you to cut mine short. Great job! Credit to your patient sister who probably listens to you go on about hair/your passion all the time and for bravely modelling for the world during your tutorial. I'm sure she loves the result.
Ale Leal: I love your haircut!!! Ig looks amazing on you :)
Kaila Toro: if all the people with rude comments or talking about how she looks like she's about to cry would pay attention to every video they'd see that not every client smiles and acts like they love their hair right after its done. this was a drastic change and she might not be an outwardly emotional person. also if you watch the color video right after this one she actually seems very happy with the result in the end. if any of you are hair stylists you can't act like all of your clients show their emotions about their hair with you right away.
Shirlene Gustafson: Fascinating watching you perform magic!
Al Matinggo: Thank you for the tutorial. I cut my sister's hair. It's not as difficult as I thought..
angelique switzer: This is meant as a compliment.. But when I watch your videos they put me.. at ease.. Like that feeling you get when you go get your hair cut and you want to fall sleep!!!! Im not trying to say its boring or anything.. But it relaxes me!!! <3 Keep up the great work!!!
Frances Mechelle: Oh my gosh I love this so much! I have fine curly hair and I always want a cut like this with it a bit longer in the front and I Never EVER can get it. They always mess it up.
KillianOates: I'm in my final year of training to be a hair stylist, and your videos are SUPER helpful and inspirational. I refer to these videos if I'm unsure of something and you ALWAYS make it seem so clear. Especially the cuts that you do. Thank you so so much. Love from Ireland x
Deborah55: Hello April, my hair is thinning on the top to where you can see my scalp especially when light is shinning on top. My hair is cut in long layers but I want a short haircut. Would you please do a video for someone with the same prob to let me know what you'd recommend? Tia.
Cathy Murphy: I was a hairstylist for over 20 years and had to give it up about 9 years ago. This video made me want to go back into the salon. I love the cut on her. Much younger looking and healthier. Looks really good. Loved the texturing to give it bounce. Great cut, style and instructions.
Nick Dalton: I can't believe all of the petty and nasty comments that people are posting about the haircut and your sister. HATER'S GONNA HATE!!! I really think that you did a great job and that it looks really good on your sister. I think the new cut actually made her look younger than her long hair, and it framed her face well. I also don't know why people kept saying that she looked like she was going to cry, she didn't look like she wanted to cry to me. She looked like she was just sitting there chilling. Go back to the beginning of the video people and look at her expression in the mirror when her sister cut off her pony tail. She was smiling from ear to ear!
Dr D: My hair is that exact length, i actually have picked out a very similar cut. A short, stacked bob Thanks for sharing, I'm definitely getting it now
Nicole Dolan: Hahaha she was so enthusiastic when she said she loved it. I have to do a cut like this with a razor for my final assessment in college so its helped me a lot. Thanks april.
M's vlog: loved the cut. your technic id easy-to-use. please make more videos. edgy cuts
Momster: Razors cutting on dry hair creates frizz and breakage. It's really recommended for wet hair.
TheBIGOliveSoapCo: i think this is the perfect tutorial. thank you
Peg Quinlan: Love watching the short haircuts, my hair is short and am always looking for ideas.............you do such a great job April
Darline Dee Subervielle: I thought this was awesome my stylist quit to be an at home mom an I was like now what am I'm going to do because she was the only one who actually listened to what I was trying to do. I followed you video,,,WOW!!!!!! My hair came out great,,,I was so amazed,,,,,Thanks April you are Super Amazing ❤️
macarthur field: I LOVED that "How do you like my scarf?" I was laughing SO much !!! THANKS !!
Greta Jane: Omg she looks like she is about to cry the whole time.
Bev Urban: OMG ... There is a remarkable difference in your sister's appearance! She looks really classy - Good Job!
Jelex.: First mistake- when cutting off the ponytail, you need to leave a few extra inches and cut little by little and ask if they want to keep going shorter
Tammie: Would've really like to have seen a full 360° view of the before and after.
TungstenWhizard: I really want to cut my hair this summer...currently, I have shoulder length, but I want to go short because then I wouldn't need to tie back my hair. Your sister is gorgeous, btw. And so are you.
Glenda Joseph: I loved it. Looks great. Most of the people writing is not watching to the end of the video.
Bryan Asen Georgiev: I love this cut I want the same haircut. I feel sorry that I live far way from you. I will show this video to my stylis and hope she to do it. Thanks a lot. Best regards from Europe
Kim Browning: This was so much fun to watch!
Ivy Davis: Love Aprils haircut. Those scissors though,looks like you were struggling a bit
Marcelle Anderson: Love it!! Great job!!
Lisa Wright: You mentioned in the beginning that you didn't know what to do with the long bunch you cut off. You can look into places like "Locks of Love" who make charity wigs for cancer patients and people with other issues. Also, folks have commented on how sad your sister looks. I can say from personal experience that it's scary going that drastic, even if you're very certain of your decision. What I see on her face is this apprehension, not dislike or sadness. I had this same apprehension the first 2 or 3 times I did a drastic long to short cut (I go in cycles now because I don't like my hair to always be the same). I think the cut really flatters her and it will look even better (and like she wanted) with the curling.
Emma Losey: She got that, "can I speak to the manager" cut.
Irani Oliveira: Parabéns muito lindo esse corte, perfeito.
