"I Love Haircut - I Love Hairstylist"

And I wanted to work with graduation raise your graduation and I wanted to work with the with the blade flatter, which is a really great way of creating very weightless soft graduation. I mean obviously when we think of graduation, we usually think of bulbs and things where you start in the back, but you know anything where you kind of put in a line and bring the hair towards that and and make a buildup of weight. So when you think of this as graduating off the face um and especially with the razor, because you know, there's something that I love to teach where you use the razor and the size of the stroke, rather than the elevation to create a graduated effect. So if we look at this - and we say right here on Erica's hairline, this is section number one and I'm using the flat of the blade and uh in a more closed way. It was a little bit more open in the very center, but a more closed way, as I work my way through here closed means kind of a short stroke. Now, as I bring the longer and longer sections of hair forward I'll be opening or deepening that stroke, as I work my way around I'll work, my way towards the crown I should say so just checking the balance here and creating this kind of razored frame. Doing a little bit of detailing by just kind of pinching and getting any hairs, you know, maybe that are kind of feeling a little too fine or a little too spindly in any way now continuing to work. My way back so this is you know something that again what this series is about. It'S like I, I have done things like this before, like with dry cutting with the scissor, but it's been a while, since I kind of like razored over directing everything forward and just really kind of using the openness of the blade um you know, and without it Being overly bully, you know so here's my second section opening up the stroke a little bit more than the first section, but keeping the elevation really low. So the stroke itself is what's creating the graduation on each section. Each section barely reaches all the way back to the first one. So by the time I work to the crown I'll have a pretty pretty long crown, but the ends into the middles of the hair will be really weightless and textured. Let us know where you're watching from and if you're someone who enjoys the razor. I know a lot of hairdressers really, but my favorite is what we like to call the folding razor. It'S a feather plie eye. It is unguarded, so it does take a lot of training to have dexterity with it. It'S not something you just want to kind of pick up without the proper training and control for lots of reasons, um, you'll notice. I do something called Lock and Load where my pointer finger locks around the shaft of the razor so that I can work safely. You know and that's important, obviously any any tool that you're working with as a professional. You need to have great dexterity with it and great training here and that's where Professionals of practice come in. I also recommend working with more rigid Combs when razoring you don't want any any flecks or bends where you can kind of lose control. So you can see it's my third section and my stroke again opens a little bit more and you can see without even having to do all like little nibbling and chewing how soft it is um, the razor itself. If you learn how to use it can really create that tapered effects on the ends of the hair without extra work, or you know it, it definitely can be simpler than the scissor not easier but simpler. I'M working my way through Section number three. Now, one of the things that you can do is always look at. What'S in your fingers and each time as you open your stroke, this should get further and further away. That'S how you know your stroke is, is opening and it's one of the ways you can check for consistency from side to side. You know so, if my stroke is too open on one side and Too Short on the other, this won't resemble what I just did previously. Everything is being brought kind of through stationary Point. That'S Sometimes some of the things about that make razor. Cutting simple is that you can be quite stationary if you understand how to work with the blade says: hi G thanks for watching thanks for joining us uh, you know again, are you someone that uses the Razer a lot? I'M uh, you know. I always wonder I still think it's so much opportunity to teach razor cutting um, and you know I think the razor's having more of a moment now than it has maybe ever in modern times, but it's still something that um is a very wide open area. So here you can see number four look at how much bigger my stroke gets. The bigger the stroke gets the more. This starts to look like it's been back combed, so you know you're taking the length off and doing it in a very tapered kind of soft way. Everything is getting pulled to the same point and work through the heat is back on here in Southern California. It'S a beautiful day, but you know we had a little bit of a heat wave and it seems like it's kind of creeping back, so I don't like to be too too hot all right. Let me backtrack a little bit, so you know why is this graduation? It'S graduation because you know when I look at it this way it's going to be building length, building weight and length. So you know it might not be the conventional where you think. Oh well, graduation happens in the nape or in the temple. It can also happen. This way, or you can call it something else, you know I've never been one to uh to it, doesn't really matter what people call things to me I've. I just think it matters what it looks like when you're done so you can see that roundness, you can see the roundness or the bevel this way, which I would call a graduation coming into the crown again. This should be the longest section, and you know the great thing about really understanding razoring is that you can create length without weight. Sometimes those two things go hand in hand with hair cutting or, if something's going to be longer, then it's going to be thicker and heavier, but with razoring, not necessarily so you can see how open my stroke is, and I can even go a little further here Because this hair is does have so much length to it. I can use just the front corner of the razor and put some slicing in and even just a little bit more weight and I'm sorry remove a little bit more weight. Add a little bit more movement and separation, so you know I always like to say for Salon hairdressers like myself that once you get the dexterity and the control and the understanding of the razor it's such a friendly tool for Salon work, because you can create simple Kind of classic shapes that have that Modern Edge to them like we're, seeing here this roundness, but without any hard Edge to it, and I just you know, I think that that is something that's always going to be in demand in the salon. You know I don't foresee uh for the average Salon, client anytime soon, people looking for very, very hard or weighty shapes um. I think there's always that possibility and especially that you know the the type of person that's maybe a little bit more creative or but the average person who wants something pretty they want. It could be kind of soft and lived in on the edges and I just haven't seen too much change happening there. Yet I will take one more section right past the crown before we move into the back just to kind of have a transition point at the crown from what we're going to do with the back toe we're going to do at the front might not be too Much length reaching due to the previous haircut, but I will just do some slicing here using that front corner of the blade foreign, and this will be a real swing point on the haircut where I want to keep length. You know I mean the good thing about something like this. One of the good things is that, because this is even though it's a short haircut, because it's internally long, you still have a lot of options for color. You know where, sometimes, as you start to cut short it's hard to get, you know dimensional or maybe, if you wanted to do some painting Balayage something like that, it's nice to have some of this length to work with on the inside we're directing I'm working. My way through so when I looked at that now, it's going to naturally produce a roundness this way now, if I keep bringing everything forward, we're going to end up with a mullet which could be really kind of cool, but it's uh, not what I'm into here. I wanted to go more for a short, pretty kind of more conventional look using a little bit of tonic from Bumble and Bumble still, one of my all-time favorites for cutting and razoring and, of course, grooming cream, which I really love as well. To make hair very workable, especially with the razor, so what I'm going to do is change. My body position change my relationship with with the client, where I'm standing and now begin to take a section similar to we did in the front at the back hairline. Very, very simple: oh I need some clips while I'm working, I want to show you guys our new addition to the hair brain Pro Shop. This is a hard case for your tools, pretty cool kind of like the luggage that you get. It'S got like a hard outer outer shell, durable shell, and those are pretty awesome so working today on behalf of our friends at Pivot, Point something we've been doing for years. You know pivot point in a very diverse industry as legendary education company in many ways and people like me who kind of uh spend our careers educating. I don't know if I could do what I do without Pivot Point, without these incredible mannequins, where I can come out and teach classes and guarantee that everyone gets a great, consistent lesson. Of course, it's great to work with live models, but any educator will tell you it's kind of a crap shoot depending on you know what kind of models people get um. It can be very difficult, but if you want it like, if you have a whole group of people, who've never razor cut before or razor cut like this before, which happens very often, it's so much better to get them started on a mannequin, a great quality mannequin And you know there is such a huge difference between a poor quality mannequin and a good mannequin. You know if you got it on Amazon for 20 bucks. I can guarantee you it's not going to be a good lesson same thing with tripods um. Unfortunately, the same thing happens: you want quality, you want a name, you can trust, you want consistency, and all that comes from pivot point. There really is not even a a competitor when it comes to the quality of mannequins, the quality of tripods. They also have such a diversity like this is the Erica. I think it's here. Let me make sure. Oh it's a Sarah sorry um. Sarah is a little bit of a fuller head shape. Um. It has like a really beautiful, wavy texture. They have so many textures and in the past couple of years, they've added even more there's so much diversity within the hair textures. You can get incredible lessons. All the densities are great you're not going to find any weird, sparse, mannequins or hairlines that are uncooperative. You know that's one of the most important things is that you get a real lesson out of it. Okay, you can see the sections are just curving across the back, still keeping all this hair very low, bring it all the way down to the hairline, but again, each time, opening the stroke all the way down to the hairline and opening the stroke and working through And just getting a nice natural roundness! Well, you can see it here. You see that roundness moving and again just like on the uh, the top front, You're, Building more and more length towards the crown sections do cross over to the opposite side, and I will follow them through I'll, build a little weight to into this corner um. And then I'll remove it when I work on the opposite side, now, I'm working just on one side at a time you could go back and forth, it's just a lot. It would take. You you'd be a lot of moving and resectioning and re-clipping um and part of this is about you know, being really fluid and kind of comfortable with what you're doing. So. That'S why I've chosen to work on one side at a time hair's getting a little dry in the nape there, so you either want to use water or a little bit of buttonic spray I'll, just use water to reactivate the tonic. And again you can see the beautiful roundness here. You know there are some approaches that will give you roundness some approaches that will give you squareness. I think practice is what helps you kind of determine that a question from Renee can use a guard. Of course you can use the card. Let me show you, a guard is uh. It'S up to you. You know. So one of the most popular guarded razors is also made by feather. This is the feather styling razor different handle? You don't need the fold. I like the fold because it gives me so much comfort, but you see here it's exactly the same if you feel safer with a guard or for any reason, uh. You know it's about you. It'S about your your control. You feel safer, yeah, yeah, oh, come on! Randy I've seen you cut beautifully without a guard, it might be. It'S been a while it's working distance, uh-huh and working my way in and over to this corner. You know. Obviously, it feels a little different I'll, be honest, it's harder with a guard um, because you can't feel the hair as delicately. You can't get like the feedback of how much weight you're taking out and I'd, say the biggest problem with guards. Is that it's a little bit harder to know when it's dull, so people kind of push them and can damage hair a little bit very nice? So, thank you, yeah, of course it's about you. You know. Obviously the tool comes. Second, tools are important um, but it's about you again opening that Stroke by the time I work over here, I'm going to have extra length I'll take some of that off. When I come around, but again, look at the roundness still going to be a little heavier because we have to come across the opposite way. You know so working with the kind of a bowly shape or a rounded shape, really shattering it. I'M going to switch back just because you know I just feel so much more in control now. That being said, as I said in the beginning, if you haven't been taught how to safely use this, and you don't have the dexterity and the control you need to practice, you need to get a great lesson. Obviously, we've got lots and lots of lessons here on on our Facebook page. If you want to go a little bit more in detail with higher production quality visit hblive.me, that's our Online Academy, where I've done many many razor cuts and we've had other great Educators as well, but learning how to hold it and control it. Um. It'S like learning to drive. You know you kind of you, don't just jump on a race track and learn how to drive. You got to learn the basics and it's the same here with the blade looking all the way across and the whole time just keeping my hand low. So you can see how that weight is building in such a nice textured way, probably close to running out here and then all that's left is the one panel from the other side and then we'll go in with a little bit more deep slicing a little bit Of length reaching here, you know so anyone that's been around in hair cutting for a while will remember kind of round graduated haircuts um, you know done with the scissor very often very heavy, looking kind of Princess Diana uh or ice skatery. This is kind of you know the modern kind of grandchild of that you still got the roundness. You know what you do with the edges is up to you I'll keep my edges really kind of soft and loose um, but you've got so much more to use kind of a strong word shed through the inside shred. I meant to say not shed. You got more shred, but the roundness is there and that's a very feminine head shape. You know later on. We can come in and detail some of these edges. We can see how great Pivot Point. Mannequins are the edges, don't just like poke out and do weird stuff. You can actually spend all the time that you need to doing your detailing here. We'Ll come back to that. We don't want to get to the sexy bits. Quite yet some of us have that tendency. You know I still try to really work within my zone of the haircut um. You know you can't really start to do the sexy bits, the pretty edges, the whatever your terminology, is until you've got a shape in. So I really in this case I'm working to get that shape into the hair. Then, if that shape is balanced and well executed, and that not only balanced in in shape and angle but balanced in texture. That'S what one of the things that can make razor cutting kind of tricky is it's very easy to get too much texture on one side or the other, so really having control over the tool and what we call the stroke. How open is your stroke? How deep is your stroke will really make a huge difference? So it's you know, it adds another dimension to hair cutting. So it's not just three-dimensional it actually to me becomes four dimensional because of the the texture curving through they'll, be you know the nice thing about the way I approach this is this side will have the least amount of work to do, which is good, because I've Worked pretty hard up to this point. If I had a lot of hair to cut here, you know you might start to lose focus or lose consistency, but because of the way that this has been cut, it's the least amount it'll be the easiest panel on the shape and that's because of the crisscrossing. In the back, you see, there's not a lot of hair here, there's just a bit to remove and to marry into the other side. Keep that stroke moving and keep your body moving. I'Ve been orbiting the head, it's a very rounded shape so kind of a round. Choreography around the shape, you know the tripods were very important. You know this is the universal tripod from Pivot Point as someone who's taught and I'm not lying literally in thousands of salons over the past 30 years. I can tell you right now that a bad or unstable tripod that you have to keep your foot on, or you know or something you have to kind of Bolt to a chair. It'S not going to be you're not going to be able to practice body, positioning and body positioning is, is so important in hair cutting um so worth it again. Pivot Point mannequins, tripods they're, definitely not the cheapest, but there's a lot of reasons. Why number one is the quality number two? Is the integrity, and I say this every time I work with pivot point and it's one of the reasons why I do even in countries like China, where they may have some manufacturing facilities or collect some of their hair. They pay a fair living wage and there's a global organization that has certified them as an ethical company. Now do a little bit of research about mannequins and you will find out or any kind of you know, hair and you'll find out. There'S a lot of unethical stuff in there. So not only are you getting a cheap poor quality, you know it's made with with unethical labor when sometimes when you, when you buy this stuff, just randomly where you can guarantee with Pivot Point, that's not going to happen. Okay, so I did a little detailing already on the other side, so I need to come in here and work this Edge of working through and get back in front since we don't have the mirror we have to get in front from time to time. So here's a great one, you know very often if I, if I do one of the reasons I do love this is for detail, work like if you want to get close to your fingers and close to the face and kind of pinch little edges, the guarded Razor, I use multiple razors, even within one haircut, I'm gon na try to create a little space here in the corner of the hairline, cutting a little bit of shortness right there in the corner. So when this hair moves, you get kind of an openness right at the Apple of the eye, so my shape is in through the inside. So now it's all about detailing The Edge - and this is where I can be much looser and Freer grabbing little bits working. My way through and you can feel a little bit safer because now you've got the guarded working closer and shorter into the head. This is where I'm kind of cutting a little a little bit of space right into the corner of the hairline. You know. Sometimes you have a client who comes back after a pregnancy and they've lost a little bit of hair in the hairline, and it can actually be so pretty to work with. So it's like one of those things I kind of tried to emulate is that little bit more thinness in the corner of the hairline to open it up and create a softer effect. You know this is nice about a garden razor. You can work on the surface of the hair as well. Look for that thickness same through the nape area. Pinching, you can even twist it a little bit. Pinching twisting get a nice Rhythm to it, keep moving, don't get bogged down, so you know consistent and then, of course, step back and have a look bring this up a little more. That'S why I'd really be looking in the in the mirror from the side, because something like this is too long. It can make the shape look droopy, so we left plenty at the hairline to play with, but we want to make sure we get that nice, where it really just kind of question marks in here, and it's not too too long unless you're going for something more Extreme but I tend to just go for classic pretty balances, we're now working on some of the internal weight, I'm going to come back almost in a cross check method. We all know that it's getting longer and longer towards the inside I'll. Let the hairline drop out. We'Ve already worked on that and I'll come back and backhand the razor up into the hair to create a little bit more slicing and texture pivot off the crown not too much over Direction because of the roundness of the shape backhanding in and putting what I like To call a little bit of slicing there pivot off the crown, letting the hairline drop away. That was worked, kind of very visually and again keeping that length, but getting the weight out, creating separation and movement same on the opposite side and really consistent with your pressure. The amount of slicing you don't have a lot in some places and a little bit in others into the back, I'm going to come across horizontally and bring these straight up. Now, if you do see a thicker area either because of your Technique or because of the hair, you might need to go into that a little bit more. I saw just a little bit more weight in that one corner, uh Pivot Point mannequins. They do tend to have a lot of density in the crown uh, which actually a good thing. You know, rather than some mannequins by them. They have like a bold spot in the crown, but these are so realistic that there's a lot of hair there. Now again, even with an unguarded razor as long as you have control, you can work almost freehand on the surface. Obviously, gently gently gently again: we can see that roundness of the shape with the outline that just kind of follows the natural flow right through around the ear, and you can do different things. You know with the hairline you can do a sharper detailed hairline with a textured inside. You can do different angles to it. You know again, I always take the most soft approach which to me is just kind of following the natural flow of the hairline. Okay, obviously very very gentle here: okay final is just to put we. We didn't slice into here at all this very front, especially right here in the center, and this had some of the most closed Strokes. So I'm going to put a few well-placed chisel a few slices right in there. I think that might be just enough: don't overdo it Razor's powerful, especially when you grab hair, like that, coming back with a little grooming cream to finish off, and this is where you really begin to work the hair with your hands. Obviously, lots of things you could do here with blow drying if you really wanted to, but in my case I will just work the product into the hair and let it dry in the beautiful Southern California - sunshine - really push it in. Don'T you know it takes a second for hair to absorb, especially very moisturizing type products like The Grooming cream here from Bumble and Bumble, one of my all-time favorites and to get this you know to me. This is a very kind of Bumble. Look in a way. This roundness and this kind of bittyness I think this product really complements it a little bit of width there behind the ears. Well, I hope you guys enjoyed this little kind of creative Salon, friendly application of Razor cutting and uh. Thank you to Pivot Point for the ongoing supportive hair brain for a very long time for supplying us with great tripods and mannequins and support for our community and our events and uh love to everyone out. There have a great weekend.
