Hi, my friend Sam, via here at the style studio in Miami Florida, so excited to be with the Styles app that's right, the Styles app st yl e-z. Now here's what I want you to do. Take your phone out, go to your apps and download the Styles. App: here's why I'm so happy to be here at the style studio because I'm loving their content. They, our culture's, are very similar, there's so much about education, so much behind the hairdresser. Not only that, but they compliment growing your business behind the chair by actually connecting with a consumer, also make sure you check that app out. I'M excited because I have the beautiful Olga with me here today and what I want to do is talk about salon scenarios that come in. I just want to give you a profile view of her hair in terms of what you see now. This is true in terms of what you see look at the finest of our hair, the density into that area. So what I'm going to do is put some strength back in this hair. Let'S go up and look at the top, and if you take a look at the top, you can just start to see how we really need to put some strength back into this. My inspiration on these pops that I'm starting to see is Julianne Hough. Take a look at that silhouette in that Bob. It'S absolutely beautiful! So that's an inspiration in terms of the silhouette, but I think it sometimes. You have to really personalize to the fabric and the canvas the client that you have sitting in your chair, so we're gon na use that, as instance of inspiration and let's get started in the back area. Why am i cutting it dry? I'M kind of dry because I want a soft edge in my bob now, and I really want to be able to see that so dry cutting is a visual exercise in the front area. We want to detach that at the moment just set it aside. For a moment, so watch what I'm going to do see where it's weak in this area there's strength here. So, let's start in the front area just by eliminating hair that we really don't want to cut yet and that's this week area that she has in the front. So we don't want to go after that. We'Re just gon na isolate that and just keep that out. For now, and just keep it right there so to keep it isolated, all I'm gon na do is grab a small elastic and I'm just gon na put the elastic just on this, and just so it's kind of just gathers that hair. So you can see, I didn't even twist the elastic or anything just gather the hair by placing the small elastic there that guarantees I'm gon na isolate that area and not pick it up until I'm done, then you'll see how start to detail that into the existing Lines: let's come over to the opposite side, and you can once again see the transparency there. So let's just isolate that once again and get that out of the way and once again just taking the elastic it's not about. I sliding this tight just so it stays separate from where I'm gon na be working, I'm going to be starting in the back area, and what I want to do is I want to come through and just start to keep everything just more to the round of The head: I want it to sit to the route of the hip that I'm just gon na drop my length off a little bit not going to go too extreme on my a line cutting to Joy once again, so that I can see that visual edge and What I'm gon na do to that vigil is: is I'm going to actually scan that and we'll talk about that when we get to it now, this left back area. What we want to do, instead of cutting, is such a wide area and turning my finger position. What I want to do is just find where the natural transition happens. If we place a box on top of her Olga's head you'll, see, there's a left corner there. That corner is where I'm going to intentionally blouse the hair up and see and allow it to split on its own, and when you do that, that's telling you where her head wants to change directions. That'S where I'm gon na position my fingers to actually ensure that I get to the round of the head, so we're gon na isolate this section. Let'S see all of these isolates so there's going to be four panels that I'm actually gon na place in the back area. What'S so important in order bus blouse, this properly take the white teeth of the comb comb with growth pattern with growth pattern, growth pattern and then, when you hit that prattle Ridge gravity takes over. So now, let's take a look and let's see where the box is just gon na eyeball. I take the comb place that on the transitional Ridge sometimes referred to as a bridal Ridge and then the back and see where they meet those two lines. Let'S blouse right here, look at that. You can just see where it wants to separate on its own soon, as I lift it. Okay, so now we're gon na isolate this area and now, if we isolate this area, you're going to see four areas now, let's talk about the. Why, behind this, if I take such a wide area from center back all the way to behind the ear, I'm playing a guessing game and turning my finger, if I put the comb to this, and I have Olga look up at the ceiling and I placed the Comb here isn't this interesting. The comb comes off this point and this point, so this is a more of a flat area. So the way the Comus positions is exactly how I'm gon na position my hand most people would kind of bob was square it off this way. If I do that and hold my hand square, I'm actually over directing the outside left side of the panel and that's giving me more length underneath look at that, you can just start to see where the comb comes off. That'S how you position your hand when we get to this side area. You can see how I'm gon na place my hand here. So now take a look at this. If I place it here - and here you can see - that's where that corner is because the head is round these two points that meet and intersect will actually round themselves off. So, let's get started, we're going to start in that right center back, I'm making sure that I've got this. Even I will accept that and this is where we're gon na start. When we cut this, I'm gon na take her head down. That'S gon na give me a little bit more room to play with I'm kind of dry once again, because I'm going to actually scan this and you'll see what I mean. I want the edge of my Bob's to be have a little bit more softness to it. That said, I'm gon na work with a sage 6 inch Signature Series swivel by having a swivel shear rather than putting my wrist in this position, because I'm going to scan I'm going to simply swivel and now look how straight my arm is so remember. Every tool has its reason and its purpose, just like a butcher understands the process of how a steak knife works. Butter knife each tool has its own reason now. Watch. Let'S read there. It'S gon na tell me where to cut this Bob look as soon as I start to blouse it. I see I should start my bob edge right there, so I visualize that we come in with a comb look at the comb, so I come through. I'M take that section and I position it to the comb: hey eliminate the comb, sometimes when I'm cutting like this, the comb gets in my way. So what I want you to do is hit the pocket of your thumb and index finger and roll it, and this way you can see it's not in your way. Now, I'm not going to cut this down to the skin and the reason I'm not going to cut this down to the skin is because I want this bob to have a soft pliable edge to it and by just going in and just doing that, you can See I'm gon na get a nice edge to it. It'S gon na have the balance that I'm looking for, but this edge as it grows out. It'S going to be much softer and pliable for her to maneuver. Let'S take our next section. Consistency is very important in your sections, so Sammy, are you gon na wear this out? Well, if you take a look at Julien house haircut, it's got a little bit of graduation in it. So, yes, I am gon na wear this out and Olga has asked for a little bit more volume on the top. Now what we have to be careful of is we have to be careful of how we lay our fine hair and we'll talk, and we get to that on the top back to the perimeter edge. I clean with my fine teeth to the comb I set up. My tension with the white teeth, and now I am ready to cut and, as I said, it does not bother me to have this in my hand, because I'm looking for that soft edge, we're just going to continue to work. This section down coming through and scanning notice and I'm trying to keep the points as easy night as I can, but I'm not deep point cutting this, because this is fine hair and it needs that weight to it. Let'S come through next section, we're going to continue to work up the rectangle section, my last section on top, I want you to notice how I've deliberately taken my time to scan each section. I'M also aware of what my tension is, so I'm not applying too much tension so allow the fine teeth of the comb to clean the section come back in use the white teeth to set up the tension. Look at the comb placed that's how I'm gon na place my hand and now I'm just gon na slide. The comb. Look at the comb bleeding my hand to it about an eighth of inch away from where that guide is now I'm coming through with a swivel. Now watch me place the guiding blade of the swivel on my ring blade and now all I do is just slide across move across. I scan across that ring finger and you probably think of Sam. This takes so much time. My friends, it's not about me! It'S about this, it's about the fabric and it's about the client. What'S best for the fabric and what's best for the client. Okay, now we're going to move to the left of center. Okay, we're going to take a horizontal section, and so then I get a nice guide for this. I'M just going to come back to this slice that out and now isolate and now it kind of gives me an idea where I'm at and where I need to go. Remember use the comb where it's at how it fought collapses. So, in other words, what I'm trying to share with you here, I'm not coming down turning my hand and cutting across the straight line box when we have a natural common tendency to do that. You are over directing this area slightly back by doing that, that's just going to give you a little corner and added link that you're gon na want to come back and cut off stay with the shape of their head fine teeth to clean. Why teeth to set up my tension and watch my finger come in, look how soft I am with that. Okay make sure you have your ring finger in there and that's going to be my resting point for my guiding blade. I believe. What'S so important, is you take a step back and look at the big picture when we stay too close in you're, looking at small picture, so let's just take a step back. Look at the big picture. You can start to see how I'm dropping down here. So if I'm close here, I'm not really going to see that, so I need to change just my finger angle, just slightly okay. So now I'm down with eye level with that. So, let's stay here, you can just start to see where I just extended just my guide slightly, my friends, I'm not gon na stand in front of you say: I'm perfect, I will make mistakes, but it's only a mistake if I don't learn from it. If I learn from it, then it's no longer a mistake. Now I'm liking that much better. I'M just gon na go ahead and take this one edge that I see here now, I'm ready to continue once I've got that guide. Let'S go back drop out. What we've cut and let's come through and take our next horizontal slice, I'm going to continue to work up to section horizontally last section within this rectangle. One of the most important things to remember is get this hair and natural form where's. It want to go if some of it wants to overlap to the other side and that's where it wants to go used. A wide teeth of the comb come back in nice, even tension now we're continuing to the side area. This is where I'm just going to start to change my angle just slightly, and it's gon na change. Naturally, as it wraps around the head, you could just start to see how that angles just naturally drops down the problem. Here, though, is this is the area I want to cut. If I took my first slice, slice is such a small slice of that area. So what we encourage you to do is go up above the ear and bring this in. So you can marry your entire line. Okay. Now, let's turn our head. So here watch all just place: the cone okay, so I'm just gon na continue that line there. All the way, through last section on the left side, look at how we're putting the integrity back into this I mean before I do anything in terms of cleaning up or anything. I want to go through and complete my other side, I'm going to show you show you a cool way how to cross check this before we do that. Let'S come to the opposite side area here, just take a slice. Remember I'm filling in that whole area. Where are they just starting down at the nape area? Let'S fill that line that hair in so we can continue that line through and see the line. Now before I do that. What I want to do is just tip a guide from one side to the opposite side and see where I'm at here, so I'm going to come to the opposite side. Okay, this is the hair that we are eliminating right now, I'm gon na come through and I'm just gon na take the hair. I have here, okay, just a piece right in front of it here. This is gon na just come through, and it's just gon na give me a kind of a dot, 2 dot concept of what to cut so I'm looking here and what I want to do is take the hair from the opposite side. At the same point, at the same point, and I'm just going to marry it in front and center, it keep it down low and cut. Now, let's take a look. This point will now represent that point to this point now her shoulder sometimes can get in the way. So I want you to hold the shoulder and turn her head. Anyone hold that position now. Look at that point in that point, and now it's just a matter of connecting those two dots look. I use my comb just to see where I'm going a member, I'm not changing this line in terms of diagonal deep, I'm just softly changing my finger angle notice. How I'm taking my time, cutting this with intent and purpose and we're going to come back and start to layer it out when they get a little bit more comfortable, just give it a little bit turn back because I've cleared the length. So I feel fine, sometimes where I see I start to drop off in my line place your finger there. So you know where to go. You'Ll know what area needs to be taken care of now, let's go back through and let's just start to cross-check now. What do I mean by cross-checking a one length haircut? Sometimes, when you cut a bob, when you see the hair move and she shakes her head that underneath it has little pieces of hair and sometimes it's it's cut perfectly, but it's just the underneath - it doesn't swing, it doesn't move. So here's what I'm going to share with you a good way to take care of that underneath hair and don't panic now. So you see all that underneath is what I want to take care of so watch. What I do I'm going to take my comb and I'm gon na comb it on a diagonal. I comb it on a diagonal now. This is the one time I'm going to come in at the skin, and you see where I see that line see that line. I'M gon na eliminate everything off of that line just really below that line. Now, what that's gon na do is I've actually combed this diagonally and over directed, and you might think how he's cutting up into his line now watch when I lift her head up. What'S happening is watch because I comb this over here, I didn't touch the top, but what I did get was that bottom, underneath there see how you don't see that in that area now remember we're gon na be layering this out. Let'S tilt it this way and watch again comb, especially when you get to this front area. You ever see these Bob's and they've got that length there. So I'm gon na come through Sam. What you said you were holding your finger because you want to keep it soft, but now you're down on the skin. This is a great way to cross-check that underneath that's why I'm down on the skin. So let's go right here! Look so you can start to just see it once you just start to take it both ways. You'Ll know what needs to be taken off. I'M gon na warn you, you cannot be afraid to cut it, you're afraid to cut it. Then it's still going to be there. Okay. Now, let's just start to take a look at this side. Mm-Hmm, I'm gon na just ask her to shake her head shoulder to shoulder. Okay - and you can just start to see this side now - has a much more of a solid underneath to it. Let'S take a look at this side. You can see. I need to come in just underneath here and get some of that all right. So, let's go back just a great hot tip in terms of cross-checking. These one length haircut watch see that all of that underneath Sam, I don't understand how that works. Well. Watch I'm combing this out of its natural fall. So therefore the underneath is shorter. It'S barely moving, so this line is my guide, and what I see here is what needs to come on once again, a great way to get all the underneath hair off with a client that doesn't want to undercut it watch how that length will come right back Over that move it a number of different ways walking to the front now see if there's anything that wants to come into that front all right, so we've completed our one leg shape now. What we want to do is shake your head. Keep that up right now. What we want to do is we want to start thinking about how we're going to start to attach this back area now I want to start to get that shape, to do this. Okay, but with fine here, I have to be very careful how I choose to go in and layer this, if you ever want it Bob to have some bevel and roundness. I know a lot of times. We pick our Flatiron and our comb and get it nice and smooth, and we just start to bevel look what Sam has this hand. I'Ve got my the sleeker, the Flatiron and a thermal round brush now. What I want to do is all I want to do. Is just put the eye on the brush and watch me just flow the iron I'm barely gon na close it, and what, if I had you, put your finger here like right now I feel heat and I haven't even closed. The iron heat starts to alter the bonds in the hair, so watch watch the irons just barely close on that line. So what I'm doing is just creating bevel. That'S all I do it's just creating the hole very softly and then I'm using the brush and the iron, because I know that this iron it gets hot on the outside. So that's all I want to do is now take a look at that now it has just a slight amount of bevel to it, based upon where I've been so just number one again, another way to work it differently, and this is a great easy technique that The client can do you can see already the difference from one side to the other. So now you can see how we've gone through we've refined our shape. We went in through working with a flat iron and a round brush move your head shoulder to shoulder. Then you could just start to see by cross-checking that underneath you just get a really nice clean line, you're not seeing any of that hair. That'S underneath there now it's time for us to go in and graduate this and layer it and what I want to cut. This first is because I wanted to build a guideline. That'S going to begin from the neighborhood watch, what we mean, let's eliminate our side area which in this particular case we're going to go slightly behind the ear and that will enable us to fill this hole. Yeah we're gon na section this off on both sides. So I'm way past that top of the year once again, just filling in right behind that ear, now we're going to go in and we're going to cut that back area, so we're gon na find the natural transition of our nape, where the comb comes off. Just at the top of the ear, so now what we want to do is this: is the hair we're going to cut this hair? I want to maintain this weight on fine hair. What I don't want to do is start coming in and layering at that nape area now watch what I'm gon na do. I come through divide this in half, I'm going to start on her right side. Why? Because I'm right-handed so take a look at what I've done in my name area. Okay, now I'm going to start my shape and I'm gon na work. This all the way up to the crown area working with the shape of the head, so we're gon na work with the shape of the head, but we're gon na use that as our guide. So what we're going to do is it's going to give us some layering? What I don't want to do is go back down in here and just start to start to graduate to much we're going to start to lose the length and lose the heaviness that we built so we're using this point here. That'S my god! That'S gon na ensure from here we're gon na start to round and layer, and you can see how that's gon na start to round the bottom. So here's my nape area, there's my god. Alright, now we're gon na go over the shape of the head, and what we want to do now is all I want to do is once again just keep this nice and soft. So in order to keep this nice and soft, so I'm gon na switch tools. I'M going to switch to our streamline and I'm gon na switch to the streamline six to five okay. So what I want to do is the streamline is a smaller handle so because I'm gon na go on layer. It'S just going to give me a little bit softer on my hands in terms of being able to control the shear instead of a bigger handle. So streamline is for those of you that or a smaller handle streamline. Is your shears choice vertical section? We know the nape area is going to be my guide, so let's take a look. I'M gon na elevate and just cut to the shape of the head, see where that's at okay. So what I want to do is it elevates shape of the hand there went that guide and now just start to point cut now. What I want to do is keep this soft and then you'll, see blonde hair is tough to layer, my friends and it's tough to layer because of the idea of you can see every layered effect to it. So what I want you to do is courage. You don't cut a blunt line and then try to come back in and soften it watch what Sam's doing I'm notching it and then I come back and now I just start to soften that line that I just created by Fanning and not going so deep, which Is why change to a streamline not as long as a blade and now I'm going to start to get the softness or the roundness I'm looking for in that shape? Another pie shape section that is over directed to the center. So, let's take a back view of this notice, I'm combing everything towards me so my hand sits in the center. So how do I ensure Sam that? I don't over comb this towards me because the way you're standing this is the spine of the comb when the spine of the comb hits that line that center line. That'S when I comb out that will always ensure me that my hand is in the proper place. If there's any tool that's going to get in trouble, it is the comb the shape of the head. It'S gon na give her a nice casual sense of volume to it. I'Ll give you start to give you a profile, and you can just start to see how they start to change. The silhouette. All righty pie shape section over directed to the center using the spine of the comb to determine Center and combing straight up. Working with the shape of the head. Whatever reaches is what I'm going to take all right. You can see how we completed this side and look when I just tickle. You can just start to see how you get a little bit of movement to that. But now you also start to see just the the silhouette. How that silhouette is just starting to change and you're, getting a little bit more roundness out of that. That'S what I like to just using that Napier as a guide, especially when you're coming through and you're walking with fine hair, it's so important with blonde hair. A lot of times we can see the layered edge, I'm looking at as I apply with it. I might switch to a tool just to refreshing something right freshen, some of that when we get to our refining and detail, let's go the opposite side, let's drop, and now you can just start to see, let's tickle the heavy side and tickle the movement side. Big difference between the two we're gon na continue to work with pie-shaped partings. Then we're gon na go with a pie, shape parting. I already have a guide, so just lift and you will see it let's fold them up for it. You can see there. It is there we go right there so now in that center, now we've completed this back area and you can just see when we just start to tickle and just use your hands to move it. You can just start to see how we're getting a little movement out of this and remember how we started very, very fine here. It can just start to see the silhouette that we're starting to build there. Now we're gon na go into the top area and I want to go into the side areas just slightly. So how are we gon na handle this all right? So, let's release - and I want to go in and get a little bit more of a visual blend in that particular area, so we're gon na get a little blend in this area, but I want to leave this. I actually like this a long bit here but suggest the idea of getting that to get a blend or hold on that and let's go into this top area in this top area. It'S not so much about going in and doing some ggressive layering to it. She'S really been through some chemicals and what's happening is because just start to see it's been compromised just slightly. So what I want to do is just go in and just put these strengths back into this without coming in and getting so aggressive with my layers now. Why am I saying that, because remember the hairline is jumped up automatically, does more massive hair in the back area, so you have to be particularly careful how we're elevating and graduating this side area. So I want you to think very casually so watch what I'm doing up coming up. I see where the integrity is lost. Now I'm gon na bring it down to my black shirt so that you can see. That'S all. I'M doing is just something so with blunt closure of the shear. It'S giving us that integrity that we're looking for okay, now watch, I'm gon na take work my way down just a diagonal section. Coming back, that's gon na. Allow me to make this link travel a little further to get back to this, but remember it's just not about me blend it's about. Where do I see it's weak? That'S what I'm taking them! If I go too deep with this meaning that I layer this too aggressively, remember you're gon na just make this front area a little bit more fine in this area. What I'm looking for is just some movement that kind of moves in that side area here see you can see. I don't want to get too aggressive with this. Just lift up. Look for the integrity, see that's integrity right there. Let'S get rid of this right here and that's it don't get carried away and feel. Oh, I got ta blend this. You start blending. My friends, I guarantee you're gon na. Take all this weight out away from that front area. Okay, now watch what I mean if, let's just, for example, bring this up. If I bring this up, most people might be like this and take this. So if I cut you there once you see what happens, you see what happened now. You'Ve lost this lengthen you've allowing it round it out. So when you get in density like this, that's why we encourage you. I select this and then come back and marry it in without going in and aggressively layering this area, let it fill in a little bit. Okay, we'll come just take it just to diagonal just lifting up, not looking for blending just looking at the integrity. Okay, so see how that needs strength right there, so blunt closer over sheer, will add strength softened by deep point down. I'M going slightly on an angle why I want to maintain integrity, give it a little bit more of a blunt edge. Then vert elevate, just looking for this, just bring it down my shirt so that you can see so most people would get really deep in this. All I want to do is just soften that I'm just looking for movements, because when the hair moves, if there's any hard hardness, you're gon na see it when it moves right now, just really satisfied later that side, all right, let's go into this side area now, On both sides now here the goal is, I don't want to go in and blunt this off. I'M actually kind of liking this bit, but it means you can see. It'S lost that right there. So here's what I wan na do just take it from the back. Just tap tap tap tap, tap, tap tap tap, so it's almost like that is there, but let's make sure that we got a blend, a visual blend on that. So you can see how it's just basically dropping off right now. So let's go back through okay. Let'S continue to refine and detail now, let's do it visually and see if we're really satisfied with what we see. So, let's just have her shake her head shoulders shoulder with us just looking at her thank good now, there's one thing: that's really bothering me and it's just this detached, but these pieces that we want to kind of get a slight blend to, and I'm just gon Na go in and just take it off with a blender, so I get a soft edge still. So you see, I still have a soft edge to that and look at the difference on that. So, let's just visualize that line and see it textures here y-you could see what I did with that. So, let's just turn remember all I'm doing is so I'm not thinning the hair, I'm trying to get it at scanned edge to it. So some cases I'll just go and use a texture share, and that way I get that hey, let's go through take a look. I'Ve just bring her to the front, see more on that. Okay! Now, let's bring this to the front here and just see. If there's a little corner of anything to take off here now, I'm personally liking this in terms of where it's at just because you know the fineness of her hair and that she like that attachment. But then we talked about it and we both agree. Let'S take that off in the side. That'S look great, okay, let's just detail when we find this opposite side and I think we're good to go now. You saw how we started with Olga in terms of where her hair was, and I think now I think, Olga's hair looks twice as as thick as it did prior in terms of what we see and how it's working now. So I think sometimes, my friends, even though plants want to have their hair long, it's so important as a professional. We help them understand. What'S gon na work best for them, give me some options. I'M not gon na talk a client in this game. I'M gon na give them option a B or C. Remember, don't talk them in into any look, give them option a B and C based on fabric and based upon the cameras. Last thing we're doing is we're gon na pick up some wax blast. Ten! Think of a spray wax, that's exactly what I have in my hand: a control of ten ten times stronger than water working with a blow gun, and I want to just go in and just bring back some of that texture. I like doing that, because now it gives the hair some texture gives it a little bit more wall looking and now just work with our hands and now look at the sense of volume and a sense of movement that she has and just working with your hands. Sometimes you ever find do a haircut in the salon and it makes your day you know. Have you ever done that and you're like I'm so happy, I'm proud of it and then you're kind of like following the client and you're clipping things and you get to the front desk and then all the sudden you go back to the back room and you're. Like how'd you, that was a beautiful haircut, Sam how'd, you do it and you're like. I, don't have a clue. I just learned it, but I got to tell you guys it is fun to really find other ways that you can cut hair that really work for you in terms of behind the chair. To give you a profile view, just start to give you a little back view and then back to the front. So now, let's recap the haircut. What we did is we started out with one length, hair thinking of a one-length bob. We divided four panels in the back area, not just left back, left side and right side, there's a corner that happens there when you're cutting here pay attention to that corner. It tells you where to position your hand when you're working with bombs, we work for the scanning working with a six-inch Signature Series swivel here, so I could put my hand or gehrig anomaly in the proper place scan that reason we chose to scan. That is because we want a pliable edge as it grows out. It could be much easier for her to work with once we did that, then what we did was we left out that side area just in front of that fringe area. There remember that was it was so weak. We didn't want to pick it up at all. We wanted to keep it down low and just clean it up when we went to the edge at the end. We took off what we had detached and just gave her a little bit of a longer length in the Sun area, but gave it a little bit more of a visual blend in the back. How do we start to New York layer? I knew I didn't want to do a typical graduated bob, underneath I think it would be taking too much hair underneath or too much length off in the back for her this. The first time I've cut her hair next time. Baby won't go for it, but what I did was cut that one length at the nape area: that's where they had transitions, so highly recommend when you want to leave the weight on fine hair use that point at the may at the top. That'S your guide and now just take everything and cut it to the round of the head and we went in there and we point cut of that and we were taking pie-shaped sections and overdressing to the center. When we got to the front area. We took diagonal back sections, we lifted them, we were not intentionally blending, we were lifting to see what was needed some strength, those little flyaway hairs. We went in just took those off and he still got a little bit of a somewhat of a visual blend. I hope you enjoyed watching this.

johigg: What a masterpiece.... her hair looked beautiful. Just goes to show you that when a hairdresser takes the time to really assess the clients specific texture and needs it produces a beautiful outcome.

Allison Pruette: This cut is amazing! I used to have a lady cut my hair like that, and I could walk right out of there confident it looked good enough to go shopping right after. Never been like that with anyone since she retired. I'm embarrassed to leave most places with my hair full of static and stuck to my head.

Cassie Canter: This was so intriguing. I couldn’t stop watching. Your video makes me think I’ve never actually had a really quality haircut.

sunshinelizard1: When somebody has the gift of being a natural teacher, like Sam they are a gift to the rest of us.

Amy Taint: Great pointers for my at-home bob, hasn’t looked this good in years - thank you, Sam!! ❤️

Wendy: I wish more stylist could offer this!!!! Love your technic! A bucket full of class has been poured on you!!

knit_bear2.0: this is fantastic I have exactly that type of blonde hair and was about to bob it but wanted more texture so this was perfect thank you so much!

Realtruth-Sherrie: Fantastic cut ! I wish I could find a stylist like you. I would definitely love my fine hair cut by you.

Fancy’s Folly: Wow! Such a talented man...he approaches his work almost scientifically. So precise and exact...and what a beautiful result! Baby fine hair is hard to handle

Orsolya Minik: I’m a huge fan of dry cutting-it’s amazing how much more personalised the end result is!

Beth Walker: I love this tutorial! I've been a hairdresser for most of my life but never quite got the essence of the blunt cut! You've solved every bit of anxiety I ever had at doing this cut! Thank you and you're definitely a one of a kind and I really enjoy listening and watching you teach. Amazing that I was fixed on your video from the very first moment! I'd like to see other videos you may have out! I especially love the way you cross check your cut. This is not done by very many hairdressers these days. I would just die and go to heaven if you'd ever do my head? Really can't remember the last haircut I've gotten that I totally lost my shit over? What's funny is I went to get a asymetrical blunt cut at a salon and color! The cut was awesome but could've used a little more prudent angels? Too conservative for me but worked! The color did not keep! Terribly disappeared. My hair is fine but very very thick! I went to a lady that is notorious for her colorings and she told me she needed to go into my cut and straighten it out? Nervous I told her it's asymetrical and not suppose to be even? She said she understood? By the time she was through my hair all over was as short as my longest layer! And I looked like a little man! So that's what $200 got me! I haven't been anywhere since! Sorry so long but I haven't been this excited about a cut video in a long time! Excellent doo! Thank you! Next time you're in Columbia, SC, if ever, please look me up for I'd gladly pay your price for a style from you! I'm on Facebook Just Silver by Beth!

Cynthia Hass: Love this cut and tutorial, thanks so much for posting! My hair is super-fine (and not too much of it!). But after numerous surgeries and anesthesia, it's gotten crazy-wavy. For many years I wore my hair in a bob, but it never looked this good. Would you use the same technique with my waves? I've just let it grow long, but it's time for a new style. This seems ideal.

Jen Carlson: This was amazing! So so helpful like no other video (and I’ve watched a LOT of bob hair cut tutorials in order to learn!). Thank you Sam!!

Lisa Cherry Beaumont: Terrific tutorial! I’m NOT a hairdresser and simply want to understand how my fine hair can be optimally cut for volume in a bob - as most hairdressers ASK ME (the client!) if I want layers!!! I’m like, “That’s your job to know what layers I need!” As we’re presently in quarantine and hence all salons are closed for a while, I’ll be trimming my own hair and at least having a clue of what I’m aiming at will be helpful. Thank you for a great video!

Donna: Gorgeous cut. LOVE it. I wish you would do mine Sam.

O L: I wish more stylists took the time to give a quality haircut like this. I feel like most stylists just cut everyone's hair the same way, not taking hair texture into consideration.

Danye D: What a great teacher and professional you are ! It's the first time I see a such respectful stylist ! especially with thin air ! It's a real pleasure to watch you perform ! you're so inspiring ! Thanks !

geniusjen78: Sam, thank you SO MUCH for being educated in the art of cutting fine hair! Her cut is beautiful! I've had a few pretty good cuts but mostly ended up with over layered or textured hair that layed even more limp on my scalp than when I walked in. In the last few years I've learned about how challenging fine hair is to cut properly. Thanks for empowering stylists and clients to obtain a great cut! I've gained knowledge to communicate effectively with my stylist going forward!

Lilik Hadiwinoto: Hi Sam ☺️! Can this technique be used in a thick hair also ? I love this style ❤️ thank you so much for this tutorial

molly Satinado: WOW what an amazing haircut!! Geez how could anyone give this video a thumbs down?? I wish this guy could cut my hair, he's phenomenal!!! New subbie, can't wait to binge watch!

Christine Walters: Thank you Sam! Once again, you have taught me a whole bunch of techniques!

Wendy: I wish every stylist would take the time to cut hair in general ,I know there are restrictions on time but I would rather take my time and have repeat customers great job Sam wish there were more stylist like you,that could offer this !

Petra Z.: Fantastic video, amazingly skilled guy who explains in calm manner, satisfying video to watch and awesome advice! I have finer hair and was after a blunt bob yet this was so cool to watch!

Claudia Larsson: Thank you ! I’ve never seen a stylist do this. Not to mention the time and devotion you give. Thank you. ❤️

Katherine Wold: That is a NICE haircut!!! I love the way it flows but you don't see any cut lines. I wish I could find someone in my area who could do this with my THIN and FINE hair. Masterful Sam : )

Eileen H: WOW - so impressed. I have baby fine straight hair like the model...I wish there was someone around that knew how to cut it! This cut is spectacular!!

Mario Cuadros: You truly are a master at what you do. Thank you for your video, I have learned a lot. I am a dad who cuts my own hair and my teen boys hair, and now I am going to try my wife's hair for the first time. I am very impressed with your teaching style and your professionalism. Thank you. Ps. I need to learn how you maneuver the comb and the shears with one hand....that is cool man. Thank you.

Julia Walsh: Straightforward tutorial with good, pertinent information. Thanks for your humility and professionalism, Mr. Villa!

Dawn McFarland: Oooooh! The way he went back to get the hair underneath so you don’t see it! This step was missing in every bob I’ve ever had! So clean!

silkesilke100: Great tutorial, definitely going to try this in the salon!

Amy MCGINTY: Wonderful haircut! Great technique and explanations!

The Righteous Cry: At first I was like 40 minutes for a thin haired Bob?! But only a few minutes in there is a goldmine thank you!!

MonicaF57: I'm impressed! Great job of cutting hair! She looks beautiful !

CariitoCatMora: This video is pure gold! I loved it! <3 I will try that hairstyle for my thin hair!

Michelle Marostica: Thank you for this tutorial Sam! It's awesome and so are you!

Claudia Hurtoi: Thank you so much for this video! I manage to cut my own hair following your advices . Is not perfect but is good . I’m more then happy

Julie Francois: Oh my goodness, I would give my right arm to have him cut my hair. Just like that. Simply beautiful.

Lizzie Beth: Beautiful job as always and very informative! Thought you had Chrissy Teigan in the chair for a second! Thanks for that brilliant technique.....no more flat iron lines/bends in my hair!

🌺 Always be true 🌺: I love this style hair looks so much healthier

Janet West: This was excellent. I’m looking for a hair stylist with this type of creativity, who is willing to do cuts other than by the formulas learned in class. Sigh.

Irish4dillon: I would love this haircut. You are so genuine. I wish all hairstylist could cut fine hair as beautifully as you do.

Fatima Avila: Loving this in depth tutorial!

Kare Store: I use your technique while working and get a beautiful result; all my clients are satisfied and happy.Thank you so much .

Kamila Grieve: I love this, she looks beautiful my hair needs extra volume at the top to look reasonably good

Julie Z: Amazing! We need more of you as stylists.

amyexner: That’s a good hair cut; I never thought to actually somehow apply layering with very fine hair when cutting a bob; excellent .

Lori Miller: Amazing!! I have fairly long fine hair and I still don't believe anyone could make my hair look thick! So impressed ..... let me know if you need another subject! I'm frightened to have short hair! lol I found your channel trying to figure out what to do with my pandemic hair! Sad but True!

Allyson Sixx: Would love to see Sam bring in some wavy & curly girls! Cutting curly hair is so much different from straight.

Cheri Green: The model is gorgeous and to me looks like Claudia Schiffer. The haircut is stunning! The stylist is a fantastic artist!

Lidia Palomino: I like what you did to this lady. I always have bob hair cut and everybody does the angles cuts different and that bother me because I do not see consistency. However, your video shows how a professional cut must be done and how beautiful it looks on the model. Thank you. I will down load the app to take it to a hair dresser and see if your tech can be follow. Thank you for your great talent. It comes from above, in other words is a Jehovah God bless to you because very few can do how you do it and you still share it. Thank you again.

Dodo Bird: Sam....Thanks for sharing your years of experience and knowledge. It shows that you are self confident and not fearful of others that are in the same industry.

Carmen Bula: So nice watching your tutorials. Very educational! Thanks for sharing

sunshinelizard1: Love the cut and love your respect for the client

Synthia Payne: Thank you, Sam! I learned more in this one video about cutting my own fine blonde hair than anywhere else! If I'm ever in Florida I'll look you up!

Sandy Schuyler: Absolutely wonderful! Learned soo much.

Laura Hess: Ooooh my - cannot wait to share with my hair dresser who has cared for my hair since 1975 - he will not be insulted as he is like me - wants to learn something new every day. Thank you for this educational tool. In my humble opinion- you are a genius-CHEERS ❣️

Darlene Anthony: I did this cut on one of my fine haired clients and she loves it! I told her I just gave her a "Sammy" $300 haircut for $45! I've learned so much from you! Thank you Sam!

Pinky Cookson: So beautiful,well done

Joanne Lahiff: Awesome education! Thanks, Sam! Great tips!

cck: He's so great! No one knows how to cut hair anymore. They cut my hair like I'm at a kiddie haircut shop wherever I go. That's why everyone has long hair. I love a "haircut" not a "hairstyle". I'd like to fly to wherever he is and get a haircut.

Mirche Samardjioski: Thanks for the tips!!! It’s pleasure to watch you. You do fantastic job I learned I lot of things, from you. But can you show same tips for short hair ?

tracy gray: Unreal tutorial xx you're an amazing teacher

Ac Haley: Bravo Sam! Your experience shows tremendously! ❤️

Azabujuban-Hito: I thought that my super thick, dead straight hair could not be cut into a bob...however my stylist cleverly thinned away sections and also 'carved' away my hair ( i dont know what exactly carved away means..thats what my stylist said ),..the result was really mindblowing! My newly bobbed hair is swingy ( which is hard to do with super thick hair ), and easily curved under ( which is normally impossible with super straight hair ). Love it !!!

Maame Konadu: Great tutorial Sam not being perfect is actually perfect ! I actually learn more if I make mistakes...All these judges here dont even know how to hold sheers

Gloria Natalia: Sam You are Amazing! not only you are a fantastic hair designer but a one of the best educators in the industry, I met you many years ago because I was an educator myself for Revlon Professional I tough hair color both English and Spanish, Many years ago I also created the bilingual section for Modern Salon called Salon Internacional. You are the inspiration for all of us Hair designers. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us , I keep learning from your videos.An by the way you never age. Congratulations for all you are doing to help other stylists.

xmarksthe spot: In the past, I was a wig freek because it was too much work everyday to deal with my hair. However, there was one day in my life that my hair was amazing. It cost several hundred dollars but a real professional styled my hair. It was perfect and even Farrah Faucet commented on how nice it looked as she replaced me in the chair. Yes, it was Jose Eber. It was the best hair day of my life. I have never liked my hair but that day when I left, I felt like I was wearing a crown. What a gift a professional hair dresser has to give!

Tara: Now this is about how my hair is. I’ve been trying to find a video. So I could cut my own hair. But I don’t want it this short. U do such a good job. Thanks for the video!

jan alex: What a great cut! So hard to find a good hairdresser for fine hair

Beverly Hale: Please do a haircut on wavy, curly hair. We like bobs too but we will never have broom stick hair on a daily basis.

Tyler Warren: Could the diamond technique work as well while using your blending shears? I really liked the volume it created and it seemed to add a bit more height...if that was what the client preferred. could it work? beautiful haircut!!

Frank Rosier: Love when Sam show cut and products using. Many time i use wrong products on hairthanks Samyou are amazing

Jay Atkinson: Oh, how I wish you lived near me, Sam! I actually paid a lot of money once to have a professional cut in London and I loved it, but can't always afford to pay that amount of money. If I were a hairdresser, you would be my GURU! XXX

Bc: Great job! I have very fine hair and it is really difficult to find a stylist who knows how to work with it. Most stylist miss the corner thing. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to trim my right corner so it’s not flipping up. The re-trim of the under nap hair, excellent. My nap hair has a different texture and slight curl so it flips up or sticks out in the back, another good catch! And last but not least you cut by layers, yeah...there is a great tendency to just blunt cut fine hair around the bottom. There is no movement and the grow out is ugly because the under hair is flipping up no matter how you style it. Lots of smart techniques here. Thank you! this was cool.

Sue Penn: Great hair cut, great tip. Thank you, Sam

julie manniche: Great video easy to follow

Yvonne Yetman: My hair is pretty much the same as your model You are an amazing artist Beautiful hair cut

Darla Rubottom: SAM, I love how you explained every step and why you did it. The softness of the cut is beautiful. What would you recommend for an older woman with fine hair and is super thin on top, not completely bald yet, but you can see through to my scalp, with a round face and dark brown hair. Also, I"m on the plump side. I only ask because no one seems to know what to do with it. They all say to keep it long. Well, I did that for many years. I got tired of it, so, my husband cut the length off just above my shoulders. It"s all one length. I don"t like it. I would like some sort of style. Any thoughts? Thank you.

RM Mea: How I wish you could cut my hair! Fabulous job on her hair

Neil O'connor: You're great Sam, loved it, going to do it on my sister if she let's me

Carol Bierman: Simply beautiful ❤

Rhona O'Connell: so educational i wish you were my hairstylist .my hair is curly and fine im lucky if the stylist takes 10 minutes

Ivana Alvez: Meu sonho é cortar meu cabelo com você... Você é Fantástico. Abraços.. Brazil

RvBadlands2015: She has my hair but grey. Wish my stylist could do this. Love the Bob.

Sharon La Tour: SAM!!!!! I LOVE THIS HAIRCUT. Makes her hair look so much fuller!

Allyson Sixx: Oh yea! That wax blast really brought the thickness factor to another level! Wax is like a “handle with care” type of product bcz it’s so easy to overdo.

Luann Nielson: That is a Fantastic haircut!!! You are the best Teacher and I have learned a lot from you!

Milena Djordjevic: I love you! Nobody did this for me, and that's the one and only bob I ever wanted... Olga's hair is exactly like mine....

sandra hulbert: Gorgeous cut!

Renodevon: Thanks so much for sharing. I just wished I knew someone that could do this for me. God Bless.

Jazmin Raine Montgomery Ministries: Remarbly gorgeous wow you really do care about your cut great job

RustySpoons: My GF went into Fantastic Sam’s with lower back-length hair. She asked for a maximum of 2-3 inches to be cut off to make it look healthier. She wasn’t facing the mirror during her haircut and walked out with jaw-length hair and a tissue full of tears. This guy probably should’ve cut her hair.

Whispering Truth ASMR: I always go to a stylist wanting them to tell me what's going to look best on me. Of course I have my own ideas, but I always wanted one that is real with me about whether I should have long or short hair, brown or blonde. I haven't found one yet.

Rosenda Chatman: I've always loved your videos through the years,and have learned a lot if your techniques....I love him. He is the God of hair cutting

MIhaela Desaga: She looks amazing with this bob haircut x
