Hi there hope you're having a great week welcome to today's video. If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you may have noticed recently. Somebody got a haircut. I don't know really what inspires me at any time, but sometimes things just do and I feel like I need a change, and so I was feeling the need to go a little bit shorter and I went rummaging through some photos found some things that piqued my Interest off to the salon, I went, and here we are which leads to the topic of today's video, and it is a no-fail way to get the hairstyle that you're looking for now. Let me start off by saying this, and I've had a lot of you reach out to me over the years inquiring about different haircuts and people would say. Well what do you call that? What'S the name of that style and I'm a little reluctant to just give out a name, because this is a long pixie with texturized ends and a lot of piscina surround the nape. Now, if you were to go to a hair salon with that information, you are now leaving it up to interpretation, and every stylist has a different view as to what it is that I just described, and so you may see it one way your stylist may see It another and then you walk out of the salon completely unhappy and then you're mad at me, and I can't have that. So what I want to do is present to you the way that I go about a change and it's a process. You know I'm a journalist, and so it is my nature to research and that's what I do so before I go anywhere. The first thing that I will do is get on Pinterest my favorite site of all time, the catalog of ideas from A to Z, hair in the middle. I love Pinterest, so I just go into the search bar type in what it is that I'm looking for. If it's a long pixie, if it's PC, if it's whatever you type in your keywords and poof images, start coming up when I see in that, are interesting to me, things that I would like to emulate. I will then save them into my photos so that I have them on my phone, so I will assemble a collage of photos. Different looks a little bit of a longer version, a shorter version. Then I will find photos that have the hair color that I'm interested in because again I don't want to leave that up to interpretation as well. So once I have amassed these photos that have give an idea of what it is that I'm looking for, I am then armed and ready to go to the salon. Now, if you've been following me for the past couple of years on this channel, you know that I have a couple of dear friends who were in the hair business, two of the most extraordinarily talented, sweet, wonderful human beings that I am so proud to call a Friend and I go to Cerrone, usually when I'm going for longer looks and I visit a meal at salon or mez when I'm going a little bit shorter. So today I went over well not today, but a few days ago I went over to a meal salon and I was armed with my photos and my ideas and here's how it all played out. Hi hello. I love you. I love you more. I love you most Big Dave. Thank you cut off her today. Yeah Danielle is gon na. Do fabulous, highlights yeah, but we're gon na do the haircut afterwards. Okay, so we can see to the haircut according to the highlights, because it's going to be totally different but she's the kind of woman that, even if you shave her head, she's dead, gorgeous, highlights in hi hi, I'm Daniel how JEWS I love lies in car light. So we're mixing fight, colors! Okay, don't try this at home. This is the appetizer. Oh, I see, okay, the mousse looking yeah okay. So what colors did we decide on today? What we decide? You have a kind of light red Brown, gray and bloody red, whether it's a lot and, of course we need to keep volume here on every woman volume, less good, that's true! Everybody needs a little lift. Absolutely so what's your technique! Well, after you do the etching of the cut or you do we do all the lining that you want. Then you do a lot of slicing to give details to the cut and you go longer longer where you get to the bangs. You do either side. If you even the bangs out either side, you do should go well, so you can flip it you're not committed to one side, and everyone should do that because if you keep rubbing the same spot, your hair is going to get weak on that spot. Hmm! So always switch parts, it's always good for your hair and of course, after you blow dry, it shows what sides are sick thicker than the other mm-hm. And then you do a little bit of slicing to even it out accordingly, but after you've, after blow-drying, it makes sense. Now, I'm gon na do a lair taking this angle. This way this one would be a bit shorter coming this way right. Well, we still keep length of your hunt. Yes yeah, you can always cut more yeah, not that's chance, so you take it's gradual. I like that conservative approach. Thank you from the peanut gallery back there. What'S your favorite haircut to do my favorite haircut is what looks good on that person with the type of hair that she has Danny wants to know why you're not dancing yeah you catch me up on cracks me up, no dancing while slicing Danny. If you know this, it's left long enough to where he resides. You want two years right, like it's big Jessie. If you do one side, your many years right, I can slick it all the way back and punt this up right with nice lawn and make the ends real straight a meal. Although this rain outside is going to kill me yeah, but there's something it's an invention called umbrella, yeah that colors good all kinds of stuff. Thank you. Oh that's! Awesome! That'S really! Good! Color! All around you look. You really look fantastic! Thank you. So I can go. I can go. I can do that. I can go back. I I get you a slice in the front going at an angle like this now when you decide to do it from this end yeah, but you would have even more height right opposite right, both right. This wind that you flip it 100 see. This is good. Oh look. You gave me a highlight over here yeah when I go this way when it Sun. This short, I think you're missing, yeah yeah, oh yeah! Yes, are they so cool? So what, throughout today? That goes flat right just run my fingers through the back. Just like this, I love it. I think it is just it's wickedly cool dude. I know thank you guys so much so so so so cool. Thank you very, very hip and friend. Oh look at the canvas. We have to work much ways you're like a piece of art that you can take everywhere. You don't have to hang on walking art yeah, I'm water. I got ta get back, yeah yeah, get back to business; okay, bye,
Comments
Afroditi Kanellopoulou: You always make me wanna take care of myself; I decided to cut my hair when I saw how easy it was for you to style your short hair. And, of course, I was not disappointed! You are such an inspiration for me, Dominique! Keep on going! Greetings from Greece!
Just_Jo: I cut 18 inches off my hair! I now Fe free and beautiful! My family was emotionally attached to it, but I had been over it for years. Best thing I ever did for ME! Thanks for the inspiration, love your spirit!
Jennifer Krzewinski: LOVE it❣️ you’re my hair guru Thanks for giving us a peak into your salon visit!! I always share your videos with my hairdresser!!
Barbe _74: So gorgeous! The short hair looks so great on you! I have to admit, that I always liked the haircuts AND color from Hermes much more than the other hairstylist where you got your extensions/olaplex and keratin treatment... I think Hermes is a real hero when it comes to haircuts!
Denise N. Wheatley: Thank you for the updated hair video! This cut is fantastic. I love your boldness when it comes to your hair. I’d gotten a terrible haircut earlier this year and your videos really helped me through that. ❤️
DragonScorpio: As a cosmetologist for 30+ years you truly are the perfect canvas. This cut will also look super cute curly as well! Thank you for the video!
Tracey Rowan: Gorgeous cut! My hairstylist passed away very unexpectedly about 9 months ago. It's been a real challenge finding a new one. I swear he could read my mind when I wanted a new look. And he wasn't afraid to say that he didn't think a particular look would suit me. I miss him not only because he was a great stylist, but he was funny and loving just like your stylists are!
Berenice Bloom: Your hair videos are always my favorite ones. I truly admire what you pick for yourself, it always suits you and you are talented enough to style it afterwards. Concerning the two salons: This guy is mastering his profession, just looking at the environment, he does not need to distract by fancy interior, he knows what he does.
Reg Vass: I love this cut!! I wish I had the nerve to cut my hair short again! I feel I am too old to wear short hair anymore, but you are beautiful and look great in this style!

Michele Kernan: The timing of this video is spot on for me!! Thank you and you look beautiful as always!

Susette Gorak: Dominique, you are my hair guru! Every cut looks gorgeous on you. I love your hair so much that I recently traveled to Houston from San Diego just to get an appointment with Emile.

Gina Sparks: So glad to see a new video pop up today:) Love, love, love your hair and color. Emile is correct..what a fabulous canvas to work with!!

Yolanda Bernal: WOW! That's the exact haircut I need. I've been thinking about cutting it short and this definitely convinced me. Time for a change. Thanks, Dominique.
Amy Galvin: Love the vibe in this salon. I’m considering going short. Your hair take along tutorials are always a favorite.
LadyArachnea: dear Dominique, thanks to you & your great videos, I've finally made the move & cut my hair to a short bob a bit like yours I knew that long hair was not perfect for me & with 41 it just made me look older ... Now all my friends & fellow at work tell me that I look 10 years younger ^^ thanks again for your nice tipps , God bless you !
Princess Sela: I recently went to a 5* rated salon. The hairstylist went darker than I have ever had and dried it very curly. I was so disappointed when I got home. At the salon, there is so much hype with people telling me how good it looked. Now my hair is layered more than I like. Make sure you have a strong back bone when going to a new salon.
T. Girl: I just discovered your channel this week & happened across this video tonight. Too funny.... After scrolling thru tons of Pinterest pics, I chose a style much like your new "do" & just cut my hair today. Loving it!
Melissa Parker: Love your hair! You're absolutely gorgeous with any style! I adore everything about you! You inspire me as I'm sure you do many other subscribers! #BeBold #BeBlessed
Cora Ines: I’m doing that I’m into Pinterest too I save those that I d like and show them to my hairdresser. Thank you loving your video ❤️❤️❤️ you’re blessed and beautiful x
Dawn Baby: I love it! I'm tempted to go shorter now and take your video with me xxx It's very similar to the style you had in 2015 xx
Pamela Hartling: Hi Dominique!! I just started following your videos. You are wonderful!! I love your " many" different hair cuts & hair styles you wear! Whichever you choose, looks absolutely beautiful on you. My hair is like yours; curly, & wavy. I go from short pixie to pixie bob, to longer bob. Currently I have been growing it out into the longer bob. But..... after watching this video, I may have to go back to a shorter pixie bob. Thank you for inspiring us more "mature" women. ; )
G. Renoir: You are definitely the Queen of Short Hair! I am terrified of getting my hair cut because I have had long hair most of my life. I got a short bob once and cried till it grew out! Then, even with my long hair, I got bangs. I hated them! Covid has at least given me the patience to let them grow out. I'll never get bangs again! Even though I'm definitely keeping my long hair, I do want to lighten up some from my black hair when I go to the salon again. So, I will get highlights. Dark honey blonde ones, I think.
Karen Kaza: So awesome--5 colors! What a great team you have. And you're so right about the communication. Looks fab!
Six Strings: So very beautiful inside & out. Thank you SO much for all of your help!
christy nall-mathis: Beautiful as always! Like I've told you before, I love your hair short like this!!! It really shows off your nice facial structure!!
Maranda Rorie: Thanks for this! Im going to get a pixie tomorrow and I will be sure to ask that she cut the front so I can part on either side... Great tip! I didnt realize that parting on the same side would weaken your hair.
Robyn Garver: I LOVE Pinterest! So many ideas to choose from to create your own look. I have always loved your hair in a short style and this one is just as beautiful as the others! Thinking of going shorter again myself and this is just the motivation I need, thank you Dominique!
Alicia Ward: I recently went to a salon armed with my photos and came out looking like I cut and styled my own hair. The ability of the stylist has a big play in whether or not you get what you want ☹. So happy I found your channel, you bring a smile and laughter ro my face with your joyful personality
Deb Ronca: OMG I had a similar haircut and decided to grow my hair out but now i am missing my short hair seeing this video. I love your cut looks so gorgeous!
chavel98: Love this cut! I need a no fuss, super easy hairstye. I am a homeschooling mom of 6 kids and as of now I just have my super long hair in a bun on top of my head everyday! I have thick, coarse and semi wavy hair with a round face. I would love your opinion on if this is suitable for my hair type and easy enough for my lifestyle. Thanks!! Love your channel!

Mari Kraut: Wow! These guy are great! I love how they work together to get it just right with the cut and highlights! You look stunning!
H2Cindy: Such an awesome style!!! Perfect for you
Diane Rafferty: Thank you, Dominique, for your terrific show. Beyond giving us lots of useful, well thought-out information to those of us in need, I particularly appreciate the way you present it: clear medium-paced unaccented voice with a friendly, not hysterically gleeful-tone., talking too fast as if it made you sound more intelligent, high-pitched, giggly, Essex accented trend in England tied up with class (Essex is a county that is overwhelmingly middle class). You are decidedly not among the many women on TV that talk as if to their best teenage friend. Nor like some men who find every product they are showing ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS, ETC, ETC. You speak to us with a warm politeness, as is to someone you struck up a friendship with during a very long flight and exchanged numbers with. Thank you, thank you.
mimicrono: You three were absolutely right. HE is an angel cutting and styling hair, his WORKMATE did a great color work and YOU are the perfect canvass to work with. Congratulations to you three. I have really enjoyed the video.
Diane Grant: Greetings from Canada! With the cooler temps and the leaves changing colors it is quite beautiful. But the snow and the doldrums of the winter I am looking forward to something new and fresh with a color and cut. Thanks for the tutorial. And also thank you for all the work you did for Houston,God Bless you and yours.

Elianne D: "You may see it one way, your stylist may see it in another and then you walk out of the salon completely unhappy"... that's me a month ago when I wanted to have a lob and walked out with....the exact opposite of a lob ! Great advice Dominique to save a couple of photos on the phone. I will remember it for sure next time. Gorgeous haircut and you look stunning!

KJ Wu: GORGEOUS. It’s so funny you did this video - I take photos of YOU and YOUR hair, on my phone, to my stylist.

Love from Toronto, Canada!
N D: Thank you for the video. Such a nice show, mood lifting. And one secret ingredient for perfect hairstyle is to find a stylist that adores you.
thinkxxxaboutxxxthis: Thank you so much for your HAIR VIDEOS - I've watched them all in the past days, and thereafter cut my hair myself! It looks great, as all my girlfriends say! I live in Austria in the mountains, and we don't have that kind of fancy hairdressers around my place - so before I walk out of the salon with a haircut I don't like, I made it myself... You look gorgious any time! I have the opposite hair quality - very straight, very heavy and very much - so I need to put a lot of products into the hair, and still it won't last for more than a few hours, that it will come down again.. anyway - thanks a lot and greetings from Austria!
Mommabell6 Bell: Absolutely love that cut , so youthful yet really sexy and sophisticated ! Beautiful as usual Mrs D, thank you!!!!!

Thanks for sharing and making short hair fabulous!
Tara Firma: So cute! I actually went to him after seeing that he did your hair. He did a fantastic cut. Unfortunately it is 1 1/2 hours away and just not practical for me. Even with his cut as a guideline my stylist could not cut it like he did. He truly knows hair.
