A part of this tuesday show as well so uh very excited to get started um. Let me break down the first. Look that we're gon na do so we're gon na do two different bob haircuts today, um this cosmopolitan uh online, i'm not gon na, say magazine, but online is saying that these are 2021 trends. I'D love to hear, if you guys think uh, if you guys think that these are trends coming up or if they've already been trends. In my opinion, the one length bob has been a trend for quite a while they're saying it's going to be even more trendy. So uh coming to spring 2021. So let's take a look at the first look that we have here pop it up um, so just straight straight bob uh one length. So that's what we're gon na cut today! This can transfer into cutting any one length. So the second thing i'm gon na do uh will transfer over if you guys want to cut this longer. If you want to cut it even shorter, you can do that as well, and then we're going to transfer this haircut into and just do a couple tweaks and we're going to change it into this cut right here, which is, i believe, going to be the more Popular one of 2021, because i think it's handmaid's tale possibly on netflix um, a lot of hairstyles are popping out from that is what i'm reading and it's the flipped out look. So it's kind of crazy because uh when i was in beauty school in 2004, this was a trend where the hair kind of flipped out a little bit. It was more layered throughout the top. Some of you guys remember that um, but it was a. It was a trend. Everybody was kind of wearing their hair with these winged out uh pieces, so pretty cool to see that they're, taking kind of a one-length bob we're going to texturize the ends a little bit and uh and then cut that textured fringe. At the end, but that's what's going to change this look from being. You know just that one length center part bob to then becoming this haircut so cut pretty much the same until the very end where we uh change those couple things um all right cool. Let'S see so, if you guys all right wondering if you received my email or text in the order i placed so adrian um. If i didn't get back to you, it means that i probably did not receive that. Let me put you over here: um, but just email, matt, freesalon, education.com and i'll get back to you today. So because i want to make sure you get your order, obviously or answer whatever your question is so um all right, yeah, it's very edgy, but it's kind of bringing the flip back. It is kind of bringing the flip back, which is what i think is a little unique. You know how styles come in. They come back out, they go back in so it's gon na be um. It'S gon na, be you know, pretty cool so aryan. Let'S not start negative vibes, i'm i see you now so post your question. I will answer your question. The chat is flying through look at this, so let me just see show you guys here oops. So this is all i see right so right here. I think i hopefully it didn't freeze, but you guys can see here that it's coming through and as people are chatting. This is what i'm seeing right directly in front of me so sometimes um. I i miss the cue that's why you have to put a cue because because of that, so instead of writing, i'm trying not to aryan, write your question. So i can answer because i'd love to answer it right now before we get going, the name of the app is fse. Now let me put that up on the screen. Let me spin back around here so here is and let me go back to the main camera all right, i'm trying to look for the question at the same time so fse now i have like three times. Okay, you don't have to ask it: it's cool um! I can only do what i can do guys. Try my best. So fse now is the name of the app. So there we go. That'S uh, that's the uh! You could download on the app store on whatever phone. You have all right cool. So, let's get into the show we'll be using the tri-razer. I will use the try razer at the end, to cut the the fringe, which is our new tool it's available on shopfse.com. So i will post that link in a little bit, but it's shop fse. We came out with this tool in december. It'S been selling like crazy. You guys are so awesome for buying it. Thank you so much. It has three different razors in it cuts three different ways, so we're going to create texture at the end of this cut. I want to do a blunt edge with a scissor to start the haircut and then i'm going to do a there. We go and then i'm going to do a softer edge using the try razor at the very end, all right. So arien. I see your question. Do you only teach your classes on monday? Will you teach on any other days besides monday? So as of right now um, we seem to have a pretty tight-knit group on mondays that are available on monday any other day that i've done uh. So far, people couldn't make it so monday seems to be the best day i, but i do foresee other days in the future. That'S what we're uh trying to, because i'm trying to add multiple different things for the virtual cutting club, so uh. His question is about the i think it's uh is about the cutting club um. We do up mondays, like i said at 11 a.m. So, if you guys are available at that time, it's cool to sign up, because you get a lot of hands-on work. I can see you cutting hair over zoom and i can talk to you and you can ask questions and it's just a very interactive group. It'S super fun all right april. Yes, tuesdays, love, it adele says: mondays are the best very cool um, all right guys. Let'S get uh what shears do you like i'll talk about that as we go all right? Let'S get started okay. So when we talk about the first haircut, um sectioning is the most important thing that we're going to go over today. So let me zoom in a little bit alright, and now we are going to comb it back straight back and this haircut is built off of a center parting. So what i want to do is i want to find that direct center. I'M going to look right at the bridge of the nose here and i'm going to follow that line back and then i'll show you guys what the move we make after that. So right here straight back, find the bridge of the nose and then i'm going to draw my line straight down the center, we'll part it there we go and then once i have the center parting, then i'm going to move to the back and i'm going to Follow through into the back now, there's one other parting that i'm going to make, and this is kind of an optional parting right. So obviously this one is not this one. I would always make straight down center back there. We go so now: we've split right side and left side now. What i want to do is i want to split front and back so now, we've got front and back. How do we split that you could say right at the ear? That'S what i learned in beauty school for me: i've i've learned to shift back a little bit. I think sam villa was the one that really brought that to light. For me, uh was finding that hairline. So what i'll do is you if you look at your uh haircut, that you're doing here see if i can zoom in right under here? You'Ve got this hairline that comes down now. All clients are different. Some might have a little bit more of an angled hairline. What i would do is just find the thickest density part and go straight up from that so right here i will comb the hair down from the top of the crown here all that hair that wants to fall to the back, and i'm going to section it Down and i go right into that hairline area now, i'm going to take just a little bit more of that section just like that, and i want to get as straight of a line as possible. So here we go. Let me do it again and what that does for me is, as i comb, that hair down this works in a very straight line and i'll run this into the ground. For you guys, i've talked about every single class that we do. But the fact is that this density here, all the way from here to here and around the head to that same point, is the same density same thickness. Now, all this density to the front here is all the same thickness as well. So i want to separate that so that i'm aware during my haircut of what my density is that i'm working with so you'll see right there. Let me section it up with a clip clip that away. We got that nice and tight and then you've got your back alright. So same thing, i'm going to move to the opposite side and i'm going to comb the hair from that high point or that high point of the crown down the hairline go a little bit further over same thing here, comb this hair to the front nice and Tight, so i want to work that root area. Oh my hair's getting dry work that root area. Here there we go and then once i get that comb tight, i grab my clip and i clip it away. So now we've got the front and back separated and we've got the right and left separated in the back okay. So now next section is going to be right across that occipital bone area. Haven'T you had those clients that have different densities on each side? In the back, so i mean chris, that's like yes, i would say there probably are people like that um. You know that density to me can't be that different. I mean it's not going to be that different unless something happened and they have a scar or something so they're missing, quite a bit of hair. But my biggest thing is the stretch of hair, so where it's, it is from nape to high point of the crown. That'S all consistent um, as opposed to here, where we're only top of the ear to the high point of the crown. That'S going to be a lot less hair, so that difference to me is a big deal. Also when you're cutting around the head. It'S good to be aware of where this goes up on the hairline so that as you're cutting you can decide. Do you want to follow the head shape? Do you want that head shape to be exposed in the outer perimeter, or do you want um? Do you want to hide that that outer perimeter from being mimicking the hairline - i guess you could say so um, so that's kind of where i'm at with that? I don't. Obviously some people could have differences, but i feel like that's. You know something you just have to address on when that happens, because it's not that it's pretty rare, i would say, but yes, i believe it could happen. I can't recall anybody, though, all right so now i'm going to go right horizontally across the occipital bone here. I'M going to comb it nice and tight just like that and then clip it away so i'll slide that clip up underneath and do the same thing on the opposite side. Here come right in draw my line across now based on density. I could take this a little bit shorter, like i could take less hair um we're working with medium density to to low to lower density, so a little bit less hair a little bit finer hair so medium to fine um. So i can go all the way up to occipital bone and cut a nice blunt line in there and have no issues whatsoever so just base that on the density, if you need to break up, this section feel free to break up the section all right. So we got our scissor um. Now i'm going to pop her up a little bit. Will this be a layered cut so aryan? It will not be a layered cut, we're cutting it one length there will be a slight bit of layering in the second look. Probably more graduation than layering, but we will not be elevating the hair for this particular look. So now, let's talk about shape so just because we're cutting it one length doesn't mean we don't want to think about the shape that we're going to cut as well. So do we want to bring and over direct the hair back and cut it, so cutting it more in a line here? What'S that going to do as the head starts to curve around right here that over direction starts to happen to bring it to the back? What that's going to do is push a little bit of length to the front and that'll start us on a path to create more of an a line. That kind of follows the jaw, as opposed to a nice kind of rounded line that goes with the head, shape that way for me today. I want to cut it going with the head shape, because i want this to just be a nice blunt, solid line that works its way around, so that so i'm going to choose not to over direct everything back. I'M also going to use the wide teeth of my comb to hold things steady as i cut, because the wide teeth are going to give it not too much tension, but they will hold it in place, which is nice when you're going into cut. And you don't want to elevate the hair at all, so i just use my comb, pull it down and cut. I also want to make sure i have even saturation on the hair when you're trying to get a really nice blunt line and the hair starts to dry. Up. What'S going to happen, is you're going to start pushing the hair when it's dry, because a scissor tends to push dry hair a little bit more than it does when it grips wet hair, it's just the reality. So here we go everything's, nice and saturated. Now we talked about shape a little bit um. Now i want to talk about body positioning, my body position for this. Let me see if this will give us a good view. So if let's say i'm working in the back of the head here, see if i can zoom in a little bit yeah, it's pretty good all right, so um knock stuff over so body position wise. I want to make sure that i'm standing directly in the back of the head, so if i'm here and my partings are here, just shift this a little bit that one's sunk down a little bit more than the opposite. Okay. So now, if i have, if i'm standing in the back of the head like this, i don't want to tilt and come in here to cut. I also i don't want to stay on the side and cut because it's really hard to cut a straight line. If you're standing there like this - and you lean in to cut your line, your eyes then shift right. So if my eyes shift like this, how it's a lot harder to cut a straight line throughout the haircut? That'S just what i've found in the past! So what i'm going to do is i'm going to stand directly behind i'm going to comb down like this and i'm going to keep my eyes level with the comb so i'll comb down, keep my eyes level and work my way across the hair. This way and just cut a little bit at a time and then start working my way into the round of the head there. Hopefully that makes sense all right. So i understand that that camera angle this was closer, but you couldn't see my body position, so i want you guys to know the body positioning and now you can watch me cut it close all right, so carrie fun fact here she's saying she wishes. I was closer, so i could cut her hair, um fun fact: well, don't take new clients, but what i do is we built a website called stylistlocator.com stylistlocator.com, so any stylist that has signed up for our app will have a profile on there. So if you go to stylus locator and you um search your area, you'll put your zip code in and then from that it'll pull up stylus that use our app that are in your area and you can send them a message directly from the website and it'll. Go to their account on fse now, so pretty cool so just make sure, go on there put in your zip code and find somebody now if they have a blue check mark next to their name uh. This is one cool fun fact. If they have a blue check mark, it means that they're part of our virtual cutting club, so they literally meet with me every monday and they cut hair with me uh and i get to make adjustments and we talk about hair cutting and we get very in-depth With hair cutting uh together, so that's a really cool way to know that somebody's really uh in contact with me throughout the app um delilah you're. Very welcome. I'M glad uh! You like that idea all right. So here we go! I'M gon na comb down, like i said my body position, is what i was talking about. So my eyes are flat with the head. I'M looking at my angle here and how i'm going about it and i'm going to come in here and i'm just going to cut my blunt line. So i'm going to start working this blunt line across. I don't do too much at once. So i'll get this hair out of the way. So here and now i don't mind dipping into this corner a little bit so knowing that see where i'm at there we go, so i don't mind coming in here and then just dipping into the corner a little bit and cutting around. So i am slightly angling. My comb forward, but it's not as much as if i over directed the hair, back, see how that starts to go away. That'S because i i rounded the corner. So if i didn't round the corner, there would be hair right here and it would be a guideline that came across like this. So i wanted to round that corner a little bit, but i still want it to drop and kind of follow the jawline. I just don't want it to extend down too much so now. We'Re gon na do the same thing. On the opposite side, what i'm gon na do is i'm gon na comb, the hair and now i'm gon na work, a backhand cutting technique which will allow me to cut the hair in the same direction. I cut it this way. So if you look at here, if i start cutting - and i work the scissor this way - i'm cutting pushing the hair this way. So then, what i want to do is i want to flip the scissor start from the middle here and now cut this way so that i'm pushing the hair the same in both directions. You could i've seen people. Do it both ways. For me, this just works. A little bit better, i can still keep my eyes kind of flat and uh parallel to the section, and i just go through - and i cut my line here so i'll go through it a little bit more comb in. I just use the tip of the scissor to cut through that line, because the tip of the scissor is not going to push the hair as much so i just kind of chop through it. If you try to do too much at once, you're going to push hair and you're going to get an unbalanced line so now i'll go through here in the back, i'm going to comb the hair down and see where i'm at and then i'll just clean. This line a little bit if i feel i need to keeping my eyes still flat, so just like that now i don't need this to be perfect, because i'm going to go back in in the blow dry and define that line even more. So, there's no reason to keep it perfect throughout we're going to work here, i'm going to continue up the head shape so i'll. Take another horizontal line that wraps around the head a little bit, i'm going to comb that hair down, get the rest, nice and tight, get it ready to re-comb in a little bit back out. Okay, so i comb the hair down and now i'm not even going to use comb tension, i'm just going to go through and cut with my eyes parallel to the section and follow around the head shape. Just like that, and i'm going to continue up this section. I want to do this kind of in salon speed because uh, it's obviously very repetitive, but the real details come in the dry cut, so follow along with me as we get through here and we work towards blow drying. So i comb everything make sure it's consistent from scalp to ends and then i go through and i cut another little rule little tip is, i don't mind, cutting just each section, just the tiniest bit longer than the previous. What that's going to do is give me a little bit of a bevel on the end, which kind of helps throughout there siddhorn. I appreciate it very much glad you're enjoying the video so i'll do a couple more actually what i like to do change my mind. A little bit i like to change my mind, that's one thing: i'm going to work the opposite side for a few sections and then i'll go back to it. That'S something i've been trying to get more in the habit of so that i keep a more balanced line and length and shape so clip it up. So now, i'm working the opposite side make sure that the head is not tilted anyway. Weird, let me go over here, so just like this comb, it down no tension, cut your line across and don't be afraid to round off in that corner, depending on the look you're going for cool a couple more trying to stay out of your guys way. There all right very light tension with the comb. If you guys haven't noticed, i got this p color 339 comb. These are coming to the shop. I don't know i don't think they're up yet we just got to inventory them, but they're coming to our shop fse real soon all right coming across. Let me see if i can zoom in even more oh yeah. Look at that wow all right. So, as i cut i want to see, if you guys can see, my guide is right: there, i'm going to cut just a little bit below that guide work my way through again. That gives me the slight little bevel into my shape and i'll define that line more when i get it dry. Okay. So now i'm going one past the other side. Your density will define how thick of subsections you can take i'm working with pretty fine hair. So i'm taking about one inch subsections at this point of the cut keeping my eyes parallel to this section, then i'll bring down the last bit and just make sure that you're combing everything scalp to ends, and i would really encourage you guys if you go sign Up for the virtual cutting club that the first video you unlock and watch is the comb control video that we did a couple weeks ago, because that to me is the key to getting better haircuts all right. So that is that all right so again break this. In half comb the hair down, so we got a new subsection here, i'm going to work across last bit and again, you could give it a little life like as i'm combing through this i'm. Actually, you know it's things that i don't think about all the time, but you just kind of naturally do um, i'm lifting the hair just a little bit and letting it drop down, because i don't want it tight to the head. It'S not going to live like that. So if i pull the hair tight and cut it, it's not natural. It'S not going to flow right after the blow dry, all right! So that's the back nice blunt edge on it again. This could be transferred into a one length. That'S this long. You know this long could be even further down that subsection that we did. You know it can kind of play into both all of it. The biggest difference would be you'd, be cutting more of a square line in the back because they have shoulders. So when you bring it down you're going to be flat on the shoulders cutting it, so it will be a little heavier towards the front, but that's all going to sit in the back anyways and you kind of want that throughout aaron uh. Do you cut your sections lower each time to get that beveled? Look! Yes, i do um laura. Yes, comb control is crucial. Exactly uh elizabeth yeah elizabeth, i didn't see your question uh thanks for the help there, though um katherine thanks for sharing the website, you guys are the best if you could keep doing that. That would be great when people ask where to get the tools and all that the ogs you do me a favor. Just let people know what's up all right, here's my spray bottle there. It is all right. So now we move into uh the right side. Now it's crucial - and this is why i like to do this kind of separate, separate the front and the back. It'S crucial to take a look at both sides and make sure they match up nice. If they don't you've got to go through and correct it if they match up, then obviously your sides will fall very similar as well now is it always perfect? It'S not always perfect, you might have to go in in your detail, work and take one side a little bit different. That'S where a lot of people don't show you that stuff. This part is the simple part just going in and cutting it. The hardest part is going in and actually detailing your work to get it to be. That final, look, that's what i think really separates. Uh different stylists is their ability to detail a standard haircut um. You know these are just hair cutting basics that we learn in beauty school, but if i blow this dry right after i cut these sides - and i leave it like that - that's not going to be a very advanced looking haircut, so here we go comb it down. Now you could decide with your partings. Do you want them to mimic the jaw um? What i like to do is i like to decide where what kind of line i want in the front and then draw that as my parting? So if i wanted an angled line towards the face, i would draw that because i would use that once i comb the hair down and use that as my guide today, i want a more blunt edge, so i kind of want this round line to work its Way around the head shape, so i'm going to do that in my parting, so i'm going to come around just like that and that's what i'm going to follow. So here we go. I think this blue is going to have a really cool pop to it. In the end result excited for that. Okay, so now same thing, i'm going to be cutting backhand, but my eyes will still be parallel to the section so comb down. If you want um, depending on what makes it easier for you, my client's head is going to be straight up and down, so i'm not tilting it at all, because i want it to be at natural fall. The other thing is that the um uh ear could stick out a little bit, so you could have a client whose ear kind of pops a little bit pushes the hair out. So what i like to do is just comb that hair natural and then, if you need to you, can tap the ear to just relieve a little bit of that um uh tension a little bit in the section in the subsection. So here we go comb it down and now i'm gon na comb or cut across and follow my guide. My guide is my party, so just like that, hopefully you can see. So you see my parting, you go down to my line, they're very similar right. So i'm just going to continue working just like that. Creating that guideline make sure that your parting stays similar each time comb. This hair out of her face clip it comb it down from the scalp work with my eyes, parallel through still cutting from back to front from back to front, so you guys are killing it. Today i can see. There'S a ton of people looks like we got about. Maybe we have today about a thousand on live right now, so you guys are sharing. I can tell keep hitting that share button and you know it'd be cool and something i've been thinking about a lot and i'm not saying you have to do this, but i know there are people in here that are, you know, not hairdressers and that's totally cool. I, like that, you get the inspiration and then i understand your struggle of finding a good hairdresser. What i would say is if you have it your hairdresser and something that always inspires me, and this is going to sound a little crazy, but i've been thinking about it. So let me talk to you for a sec, so it's going to sound a little crazy but like getting a cone, a new comb or a tri-raiser or a new brush. Things like that can be a pretty big inspiration uh for somebody just like um. You know you buy a new car and you clean it more than you ever cleaned your other car, like all of those things. So if you're looking to bring up conversation, uh talk to your clients, you know you could say that you saw a cool video and you get them a little gift that maybe is like a comb or a try raiser or something that's going to inspire them. And i got this idea because somebody emailed me and said that they were buying the tri-razor as a gift for their stylist, which i thought was super cool. Because if they liked that look and they bring this unique tool to the stylus and then introduce them to free salon, education, it's kind of a cool way to uh to to bring up that conversation and maybe ignite a little fire and make them excited again. So you know it's little things like that: it's possible possible to be uh. You know something cool for them, so just something to think about. If you're uh watching all right, if you're a hairdresser too i mean anytime, i get a new comb or clip, or you know it just makes me excited. I guess so i'll go across same thing, work my way through, so almost through this side. Let me get back to uh salon pace here: spray in the face drop it down a little bit, so donna you can get it at shop fse. So somebody could post the link for me to the tri-raiser, my tech friends in here. That would be awesome. So it's shopfse.com it's right on the front page of that, but if you guys have the link and you could post it you'd be doing me a huge favor, all right so again, combing it down no tension work my way through a couple more. I actually think i can just do this in one, because we had some layers in this cut, there's not much left. I want to share with you guys a little tip that um i learned the other day shooting watching listening to my friend ryan belmonte, who works for paul mitchell. I thought this was a really cool tip, which he said he combs the hair when he cuts a one length around the face around the cheek bone and then that way, when the client wears it to the side which they're going to instead of bringing it down. Like this and cutting it because they're not going to wear it up against their face like that, you bring it over here and you cut your line that way and then that will give you just a little push to the front and then, when we blow it Dry, we can detail it, but i thought that was a really cool way to think about it. So, right here down anytime, i'm around somebody, i like to try to pull whatever i can from what they do. That'S how we get better so super cool. You get that length you comb it back now. Obviously, when i comb this down, it's gon na have a little disconnect from over directing it i'll deal with that in a dry cut and see where we're at all right, so we're gon na do the same thing. On the opposite side, here michelle, i thought that was a great tip as well paul thanks for sharing the website so robin i want to address that a little bit, uh robin's, saying that we should only let licensed stylists in here um i disagree, um and which Is totally fine? I can have their own opinions um. I disagree because i think this brings awareness to the amount of skill that goes into what we do and the amount of thought that should go into what we do and i think it brings awareness to somebody that sits in a chair and there's a stylist. That does not uh put that much thought and effort into it, and it makes them make a better decision. So i think it's good for both. I think it elevates the industry and anybody that wants to spend the next 16 years of their life, trying to figure out hair cutting like i have and wants to get, as you know, to know as much about hair cutting as i do more power to them, And i think they should be able to, and it's the same but they're not going to learn it watching a youtube or facebook live they're not going to be able to just they might mimic something i'm doing but they're, not they won't know and if they mess Up a little bit or their line gets a little bit weird because they don't really know what i'm talking about. Then they're going to really struggle to fix that, because it's years of practice that allows you to know how to do that. So i like being able to show off to customers consumers clients how much i know i do it behind the chair as well i'll talk to my clients about what i'm doing, how i'm doing it. Why i'm doing it? I think that brings a better relationship between me and them and it's all about not being afraid of them being able to do what i do and, like i said, i would love to encourage any of them, because all of us have a story of cutting hair Before we were licensed because we just loved it, maybe they love it, but i could change the oil in my car, but i don't want to so i don't i take it somewhere, but some people like saving the money they like changing their oil in their car. You know so i think it's, i think it's a good thing, that's just my opinion. Um, not everybody will share that opinion and that's totally cool. That'S what makes us all unique all right here. We go, keep taking i'm going to keep taking these sub sections. This is so harsh. I want to stand over here and comb, but then i want to go over there and cut so we only have a few sections left and then we'll start blow drying. You guys will really see the detail. Work that goes into the finished result, plus another cool like fun fact, is that somebody, that's not licensed, cannot cut, hair and make money doing it. So you know they're not taking clients from me. They might cut their own uh, unsuccessfully, probably the majority of them um, but they're, not taking my clients, because my clients want a great haircut and they want a licensed person to do it. So all right, i think we get upset too much. I'M not talking about robin now, i'm just saying in general. Just got ta work hard and you don't have to worry about anybody else, learn every day and you don't have to worry about anybody else, because when they watch that youtube video, i already learned more things. Like my tip from ryan all right, almost there guys almost there finish, line's awaiting i'm gon na turn her like this, and do this in two subsections. So i got the one and i'm starting to comb it back into the rest of the hair. Now and a good point to to understand where to start combing it back into the rest of the hair is right here at the hairline, so the hairline starts to go forward a little bit. You'Ve got that recession point so it starts to go forward. So i'm going to comb that recession point into the rest of the hair and drop it down. So there we go and now cut across it's a little harder because i don't want to stand in front of you guys. But i don't want my eyes to be tilted: either one's got to give all right so combing, this hair back all right. So i comb this back into the head straight down all right and there we go so now. We'Ve cut our shape. Take a look in the back, make sure everything looks good cut across so now we've got our shape in. So what i want to do now is blow it dry, i'm going to use a couple different products. Uh! Let me see here. I just want to make sure i got everybody's questions here, um donna, thank you. So much uh see your special days of times, easter time he's on schedule, so donna i'm doing. I do this class whoa. That is the largest comment ever sweet um. I got ta move that up, so yes, so i do these classes uh every tuesday at um, at uh 12 o'clock, every tuesday, at 12 o'clock virtual cutting club meets every monday at 11 a.m. Eastern time, that's all eastern time, uh, let's see any queues. Any cues live chat. My friend request, laura so amy totally agree and i'd like to have this conversation. I wish you know. I want to do more podcast-ish to have this conversation but um. I i totally understand i mean i've. I literally have a salon right there. So, in the other room that is struggling to have clients as well, but that's not like people if they were afraid they would just let their hair grow. I think i think we get caught up like people. Don'T love their hair as much as we love hair right, so we love hair. We love doing it. People deal with their hair um because they have to so some some of our clients love their hair and those are probably the clients that are coming back right. Now the people that are struggling uh with the virus, they don't want to come into a public place. Those kind of people like that cuts the business the government uh, the governor of my state, you know cuts the business in half doesn't allow as many customers there's a lot going on right now. This is not the. This is not it's real, but it's not like. The norm so we're all getting through it and i don't think somebody you got ta think like people aren't learning every single haircut they're also not learning like if they get good at haircutting like they just get good at it and they cut their own. But that's not going to happen, um! That'S not something that i worry about, because i'm definitely like. I'Ve never had a client leave me because they wanted to cut their own hair until this pandemic. I could name a few that are not coming to me, but i've. Never had a problem with a client not coming to me, because i keep myself educated and i push through it. Some of the stylists that are struggling right now should make sure that they're, focusing solely on education and growing and getting better because the better you get the more in demand. You are you're not going to be in demand. If you haven't studied since beauty school or you randomly, went to a hair, show and didn't sit in classes, uh and just went around shopping. Like that's, you know, these are all things that are reality and now that's not you. That'S not necessarily any of the people. In this chat, i think you're on this to learn um, but at the same time you have to push yourself and for 16 years i've tried to learn as much as i can every single day every day and i love cutting, i cut mannequins all the time. That'S how this whole channel started was that i was obsessed with learning and getting better. No one can replace that and no one's going to work harder than somebody that works the hardest right. So you just got to keep working hard and work harder than than you did the day before. Don'T worry about anybody else, don't worry about clients at home, cutting their own hair. I have zero worries about that because i know i know more than them so when they screwed up they're gon na come to me and i built a reputation of people that want to come to me because of how much i study and how much i share And how much i love what i do and i have a passion for what i do. That'S the that's, the um, the recipe for being successful in this business. It doesn't matter if they kind of figure out how to cut a line. It doesn't matter. There'S so much more that goes into it, so much more expertise. Now, if you don't have that expertise, you're gon na lose in a pandemic, you just are so, if you're afraid of that my goal, my thing for you would be to study, study, study, get better and better cut every day cut, but don't cut clients at a Rushed pace cut to get better at what you do like cut to um. Do it slow? That'S why i like mannequins. Everybody gives me a hard time about cutting mannequins all the time a mannequin doesn't set me a time limit. I can take my time. I can pause, i can do whatever and i can focus on getting better at all the little details of cutting hair nobody's going to learn that on a youtube live or facebook live they're, just not they have to watch. A hundred of these then cut 10. 000 haircuts then watch other haircutters to learn even more like you can't just learn that we get out of beauty school. We barely even know how to do real haircuts, so a license like is a license because then we get to charge for it. But what makes you professional is somebody that works really hard. My wife is not licensed at all. She doesn't color hair for money, but she's better at coloring hair than most people that i know so because she's been around it, we've done it together. We'Ve had fun with it, you know like it's, just the license makes it so you have a job, a successful job, but it's not gon na be successful. If you don't study and learn so sorry that i went on that, but i just feel like people need to hear it, people need to understand that nothing else. It'S your fault, if you're not busy as busy as everybody else right. So i'm not saying that you're going to be as busy as you were in 2019 2020 was the worst, but then you go into you know coming out of it getting uh people more comfortable uh, making your salon more comfortable. Making your salon uh feel like it's safe and then being very educated. Are the the keys to moving forward and people actually wanting to to take that time and be with you and spend time with you all right, chris lang, i take time and not rushing. I totally agree with you: uh aryan you're welcome, um cool. I hope you guys, you know no offense to anything. I just think hard work is the key and not hard work like working all the time, hard work, as in focusing in on what you do, why you do it, how you do it and getting better and moving uh and doing that, so i'm gon na blow Dry cue, overcoming cowlicks, that's a great question um i will talk about. I want to break down calyx in the dry cut, because that's where i'd really deal with them, the most um, because uh calyx can be the worst in the wet cut. But i did a lot of light tension right, so we used the wide teeth of the comb. We used no tension in some places. I scooped up the hair a little bit in some places um. So that's going to help with calyx in the wet cut and then when we go into the dry cut, there's other things that we can do janet. I learned something every day, very cool, all right, actual hard work does pay off. It'S totally true. I respect your opinion, although it slightly differs from mine, that's that's great amy. I honestly we should all have different opinions and it should be okay to have that so um totally cool. I just get to yell mine out and you get to type yours and that's you know, but it's all good. Everybody has their own opinion and that's fine uh cool all right. So, let's move into the blow dry um. What i want to do is i'll, obviously play a little bit of music for you guys. While i blow it dry um, i'm going to blow dry it smooth i'm going to do a flat, wrap technique. Um, let me see, let me grab my brush, i'm going to use my ergo diamond head brush. This is my favorite brush on the planet. Um. It is available on our shop as well. Ogs, please post the shop in the chat, because everybody's going to ask here: is the ergo diamond head brush, so here's a regular size, paddle brush and then here's the diamond head diamond head just came back in stock. I love this thing because it's like a mini uh paddle brush, but it has the same tension as a petal brush. So when i'm working with shorter hair, i love this. When i work with longer hair, i use obviously this guy ergo paddle brush, but so it just depends on what i'm working on product choice today, thanks to paul mitchell for being a part of the show, i'm gon na be using, which i would choose this product. Anyways soft style quick slip uh. This is a kind of cream based product. It'S got a medium flexible hold. They actually say it's soft hold um, so not a ton of you're not going to feel any stiffness in the hair from this product um. One of my favorite stories, so my dad, actually he passed away a few years ago, but um this was his favorite product. So every time i even smell it, it's uh pretty pretty awesome, but he loved this product and i don't even know why he loved it and he would go. He didn't live near me, so he lived a thousand miles away, so he would go to nojo. Like i think he went to walmart to like the the cut that cutting place in walmart and they sold paul mitchell and he would buy it and he put it in his hair and he'd. Be like oh. I love my hair like this, but it literally has no hold so i i don't know what what he i mean. It has a little bit. I guess, but it's just funny that he had short hair and he just loved putting quick slip in it. So i like quick slip for uh medium length, hair uh. He would also tell me stories that you know he would go into that that hair place and he would tell them all about free salon, education, which was pretty funny too so good times all right. So now i'm going to go through i'm going to blow dry, the haircut and uh and smooth it out and then we're going to go in and we'll do some dry cutting at the end.
