Here we go. So we I talked about it before we're gonna be cutting volume today Now volume isn't really something that you cut, but I wanted to label it that because that's what we're gonna focus on today Is creating volume? I'm gonna show you guys some different things that I do in this salon to create that Extra pop of volume. So let me move Sorry, I just got to move all my screens around here.  There we go. All right So here is The mannequin so it looks like the Erica mannequin and I talk about this a lot about pivot point mannequins This one is the Josephine.  I wish I could show you guys the difference.  I think she's more for updoos But today I want to cut some layers in her give her more kind of lifelike haircut And we're gonna base this off of a side parting. So I've gone over kind of our basic sectioning Every class every week. So what I want to do today is kind of show you a variation of that sectioning based on a side parting a little bit So what we're gonna do is I'm gonna go through here. I'm gonna create a left-hand side parting So just like that work my way across and I'm just gonna go back to that mid-crown area At first and then what I'm going to do is I'm going to section off the fringe Panel first and then work my way back We'll comb this out So how do we find the fringe area the way that we do that is I work and I look for the hair That wants to fall to the front so you guys know Working in the salon a lot of us will kind of comb the hair back right and then we'll push it forward to find that parting Well really what that's doing is it's finding the hair that wants to fall this way What I'm looking for is the hair that wants to fall this way kind of back and forth on side to side So if you wanted to you could really literally comb the hair like this and lift it up and then see that little hair That wants to fall to the front. That's what I'm going to section off So create that line and then go straight down to the hairline Now I don't want to section too much. I Don't want that hairline in in this section Let me do this here. So that's my first fringe area So basically what I want to do is I want to be aware of the hair that wants to fall to the front It doesn't mean that this section is going to be cut necessarily different than right behind it But I want to be aware of what hair wants to fall where so Clip that away spin it around So all this hair wants to fall forward, okay, and then I'm going to do the same thing on the side here So I'm going to find that section. So right here And I'm looking for the hairline so I'm trying to draw a straight line down And have the hairline fall So there we go So that all that hair wants to fall to the side and all this hair wants to fall to the front So now I'm going to clip this into my fringe section and there we go So now we're still basing it off of this side part So now what I'm going to do is I'm going to split the head in half So I want to find all the hair that wants to fall to the side and then the hair that wants to fall to the back And the way that I'm going to find that is just going from the high point here Down to the hairline in the back. So just like that. I'll comb this up and I'll twist and clip So once I get the sectioning done guys, I'll go back through and check for your questions It's hard for me to see them while I'm doing this at the same time So I'll go back through So same thing on the opposite side. So that's our Section that goes down to the hairline right there. So you can see it follows from here all the way down And now we're going to do the same thing on the opposite side here from here around Down to the hairline Sometimes I get the first try Sometimes I don't most the time I don't All right, so now this is our heavy side So one thing I like to do with the heavy side is break it in half So what I'm going to do is I'm going to comb this section up in a way But this is a lot of hair and it works on quite a bit of the round of the head So when you look Here when I've got all of this in my hand You can see right there. I'm working with this entire Curved section. So what I want to do is I'm going to break that up So I'll take it right at that parietal ridge area So just like that and I'll take it all the way across to the hairline So let that be one part of the section and this will be the second part So we've got our top and we've got our bottom Swing this around twist it up clip it away And now we're going to do the the bottom part of that section Comb that up Twist it and some of you guys might be thinking There are a lot of sections some of you Might be thinking I don't normally see My hairdresser do this if some of you guys are just watching for inspiration So here's the thing You don't have to section out But for me, I find that knowing exactly where I'm at and what part of the head I'm working on And what hair is going to go where and what it's going to do that just helps me create more success Um in my haircuts So all this hair wants to fall in the back all this hair wants to follow the side This hair sits on top. It's definitely a heavier section So now I break that into two and I know that that's how I'm going to work that section Then I've got my weak side over here That's all in one section and then I've got my fringe blocked off So I know where that is and the hair that wants to fall in the front Now I'm ready to start working Kind of cut are you doing Christine? Welcome Uh glad you're here I am doing A volumized haircut today We're we're going to create tons of volume pop it up in this haircut We're going to blow dry with a round brush create as much volume as possible Show you guys a really cool look All right So real quick i'm going to go through and I want to find uh, see if you guys Have any questions for me real quick See where we're at All right cue On your next class can you use a mannequin with curly hair? I would love to um The problem is sometimes it's hard to find uh, you either have extra curly hair Or you have pretty straight hair So we're going to cut this and I'm going to show it to you in kind of a wavier form So this is a great haircut for curly hair Use your imagination a little bit All right Actually, what's up good to see you Do half an inch off center. It's kind of what we did Chrissy, that's kind of what we did. Uh, where is your salon and shop? Stevie it is in new hope pa Um, but I do not take new clients So, uh, we get a lot of phone calls every day. Um, and I feel bags people have to answer those phone calls I do not take new clients. I teach hairdressers Uh every day to hopefully wherever you're at Make them better. Um And inspire them or whatever if you like my haircuts you can go to stylus locator.com And all the hairdressers that follow free salon education create profiles on there and you can find somebody Uh, let's see Roxy very cool. All right. I don't see any more. Oh, there's one When will you do a video for thinning hair want volume without cutting it too short? Uh, alexander, I have some videos on that subject So if you look it up, uh, how to create volume and find hair on our youtube channel, you'll find them Um, but I'll keep that in mind for the future for sure Lynn, thank you very much. Appreciate that. All right. Am I good? Q, where's your shop? Where's your shop? Um Will the club be good for students? Christina would be the best thing for students. I think Um, so we have a fundamentals course that we we run through there that starts uh in a couple weeks Um, we have creative classes. We have all different things. So student student wise It's it's a great thing. Uh to sign up for All right, let's see All right, cool. I think we're able to queue so far. So let's get back to cutting. Uh Stylist locator.com. Yes stevie. That's right Stylist locator Uh, what scissors are you using? I'll go over that. Is it possible to use live models? No, uh We're in covet times. So I try not to use the live models. I mean, I never really did anyways Here's the thing I'm going to explain this real quick because I get this question a lot and I like to just put it out there as much as possible Um, I don't do live models because I go in with a purpose of teaching one specific thing When you bring in a live model it changes the class and it becomes catered to the model and not catered to the technique and what we're learning So, um, I know that there's value in learning from a real person, but at the same time, I'm not really teaching a haircut today I'm teaching uh strategies and ways to go about creating A look but not an overall look. So, um, you know, it's just hard to work with models sometimes So from an education standpoint, that's why I picked mannequins. Um, obviously if there was different types of videos I was creating I would I would go with real people Um Hello from pennsylvania, welcome pennsylvania here as well. All right, here we go. Let's get into it Let's cut some hairs All right So what I'm going to do is I'm going to start in the back here And we are going to cut a perimeter line to start So what I want to do is I want to create a nice base of layers in the back And then we're going to move into the top and we're going to collapse those layers a little bit because um You want volume in a haircut, but that doesn't mean that you want to take out a ton of weight from the interior part, especially if they have Uh, you know medium to fine hair. You don't want to take a lot of weight out of this area This mannequin actually has thick hair, but it's kind of medium Feeling as well. So it's not like overly thick so for me to create volume I want to create a really nice kind of uh Stacked feel to the layering and then collapse it.  So and we'll create more layering maybe even like a little scooped effect on the layering Okay, so here we go. So straight down Center back Adele, I didn't see your question. Just post it again. Uh I'm looking for it now. I can see the screen in front of me Thank you zelda for agreeing Appreciate that. So we're going straight down center back here And then I'm going to go from the occipital bone over to behind the ear So actually I'm going to go a little below occipital bone to start because I want to create a nice solid line in the bottom here, so Slight diagonal forward not too much Out of the back. I'm going to comb everything nice and tight over Like this and I'll slide my clip up underneath to hold the hair nice and tight and do the same thing on the opposite side Here So I'm going to go straight across slight diagonal forward I'll step back a little bit make sure the lines match up We're good Okay, after I change my plan for the cutting club, can I still switch back to the free student plan? so Adele If you're on the cutting club plan, you're just a cutting club plan. So you don't need to be uh It's okay to not be on the student plan Because you're on the cutting club plan. So don't worry about that All right, let's be a good haircut with someone that has an undercut. Yeah for sure. Um so This part that I'm cutting now Let me see some live. I don't know why it says That up there. Let me see. Hopefully it's still working. Um If you guys are with me, just type yes in the chat. Okay um Now I'm going to work through here Uh, we're going to create a nice line in the back first So it's going to be a nice balance line if she had shoulders or a back What I would do is I would just create that line against the back of the cape Um with no elevation whatsoever because she doesn't have that I'm going to do it in my hands. Um, let me see You can just lower Camera just a little bit there. All right So I'm going to bring The hair down and I'm going to cut a nice strong baseline So what I do with my clients is I look for Where the density starts to get a little bit weak So as I'm pulling through I can see that's super weak right there So I know I want to go a little bit further up Uh on the line and this is if I'm trying to give them a nice healthy haircut. Thanks guys appreciate all the Yeses. All right, so we go through I'm keeping my finger parallel to the parting Up there and then I'm just going to cut my line across So I want to keep this haircut nice and long But I want it to look nice and healthy as well So there we go And then when I take my next section look at how my parting is here So my figure is going to come straight down and follow that Uh straight across so bring it here And then I've got my line and now I'm going to follow that as a guide I'm going to do the same thing on the opposite side here Follow the line parallel to the parting And then I'll take these two pieces and check them and make sure They make sense and they are the same length If they're not then you have to recut that line and make sure that that's the base that you're working off of So you want to make sure that uh, you're not Cutting uh an uneven haircut right from the beginning right so here we go So we're good there now Some people will continue To cut up And bring it down and cut that blunt line You don't need to because no matter what That's going to throw off kind of where you're going to start building your layers from So for me, I want to just right away use this as my guide and start building some layers Now if you wanted if you had finer hair It might be good to work up to that occipital bone cutting everything blunt And then use the occipital bone piece as your guideline moving forward So it just depends on do you want a weaker baseline or do you want a stronger baseline and build it off of that? So for me, I want to weaken the baseline just a little bit I don't need a ton of thickness in there and i'm not trying to create volume at this point or density So I don't mind it being nice and light. So i'm going to just cut So i'm halfway up the hairline only went about an inch up maybe an inch and a half So I got plenty of hair to cut to get the guide and now i'm going to use that as my guide moving up So now i'm going to go just above occipital bone probably about a two inch section above that and i'm going to section across And start cutting some layers. So we'll work this point here Oh, yeah, so Adele. I see your question now. I get it. Um, yeah, you can switch back whenever you want You know, there's no commitment timeframe or anything like that and you can always go back to a free Free plan Okay, so understand here that When I take this section across and let me i'm going to straighten her head because I want you to see How horizontal this section really is? So when I take this section across here Like that I want you to look at the head shape and what it's doing. So I'll comb this all over flip it away Now we got a nice clean parting right here, but look at the head shape And where we're working at so still working slight diagonal forward You look right here and you can see that this section that we're going to bring out Ah body Okay, so this section that we're going to bring out here You can see that there's a tiny bit of a curve, but this entire thing we're working on a curve So we have to be aware when we're layering hair What's going on with the head shape? Do we want it to be building up weight at this point? Because if I bring this straight out like this if I bring it here and cut it i'm building weight So it's going to be heavier graduated effect if i'm here and I bring it up to this point I'm about it layering right there Right, so I look at the head shape and how the hair is coming off of it So if I lift it even higher then I start really layering it and removing weight But then my layers start to get shorter So I have to be aware of that as well So those are kind of the key things that i'm looking at looking for As i'm going through this haircut and cutting it here we go Nice to see all of you guys thinking about joining the club the cutting club. It's very cool So diane um can explain a little bit about the club cost So it's $50 a month to be a part of the cutting club and here's the thing So I made it $50 a month and I was telling my virtual class this morning The reason I did that is because I want serious people to sign up So I didn't want just it flooding with a lot of people and like have some people in there And I really want it to be something that people are committed to so So I try to make it a fair price, but still make you commit a little bit So it's $50 a month, but you get up to like eight at this point I've scheduled about eight classes a month on there. So that's a lot of classes For 50 bucks. So it's like less than Like five dollars a class or something. So It's definitely I think a very fair deal Cool spray bottle. Thanks. Thanks curb Men's layer cut for medium fine hair. I like that one. I'll have to do that Sounded like a selfish one though because I could see your your profile there raw and Looks like that's the hair that you have um, all right So here we go Anise, thank you so much appreciate it. Look forward to seeing you in there. All right. Here we go. So vertical section So let me turn a little bit so you guys can see how I section this so vertical here I just couldn't grab a little bit of what I cut underneath. I don't need to go all the way down I think that's where a lot of people start to really collapse their Outer perimeter line because they'll go all the way down Um, and what that'll do is cut off all the graduation that you put in there From the beginning. So when you look at this line when I bring it out here My outer perimeter line has a graduated effect right here. So it's kind of hard to see but see if I can zoom in Yeah, wow Wowzer. All right. So if you look here When I pull this out My graduated line starts there and it works. That's the top of it So I only want the top of it and then I'm going to start building my layers off of that If I start at the bottom of this I cut all that graduation off and I cut all the density So I want to keep some of that density on my line and then layer from that point up So here we go Adele, that's another great question. Yes.  So you'll come up as featured on the front page Or you'll be able to scroll through and see those. So I think that's good I'll follow up where the class is taped or live. They're live all of them are live over zoom. So I think that that's another Great benefit. So there's zoom so I can see you and you can see me and I can hear you So we spend the time talking to each other and if you want to ask anybody like Lynn who's in the chat right now She took some of my zoom classes. They're really a much more One-on-one experience because I can see you and talk to you and and watch you work and make adjustments So it's really about becoming more of like a haircutting coach to really help you guys out As much as possible So the line that I'm creating in the back here is a balanced line. So I'm going to go to the overhead Like this So I want to show you guys I brought the first one out here and I'm just working a straight line across just like this all the way Uh Straight so I don't want to round off at all. I want this nice balanced effect at this point So we've done this before but I just wanted to kind of clarify That I'm cutting a balanced shape. So here again straight back off the head Okay, I need mannequins Yeah, mannequins are the best thing ever. So I'm trying to figure out. I got to talk to pivot point Today and see what we're going to do for For the cutting club people because I want to I want them to have mannequins when they're working. So We got to figure that out All right, so I'm just working my way across you can see Tilt a little bit so you can see a little better. So I take A little bit of the old hair just like that and then I grab some new hair and I bring it back I'm cutting this line I wouldn't normally tilt the head this far forward. So I'm cutting a little bit different, but Just want to show you guys. All right, so I'm going to go back to the other angle Just remember I'm going straight across This will start to create a slight bit of over direction because Now we're working around the round. So because I'm bringing everything back It'll push a little weight behind the ear No Olaf, it's not selfish. I'm saying the request You're you're wanting to learn a haircut about yourself Sorry, normally I'm catering to professionals. So When we look at this sometimes Sometimes people are on here and they're like, I want to learn like for me. I'd be like, can I learn a shorter men's cut of a guy who has fine hair and then But really just listen to the techniques And what I want you guys to kind of take from this is Understand the techniques what we're doing when we talk about the curve of the head all that and you can adapt it to every haircut And not just one that's very specific to you and what you want to take away for yourself If you're not a hairdresser, I get why you'd want to see something that has to do with your hair Um, but we're talking to professionals at this point Um, but I like that other there's non professionals on here that you're learning and you're getting inspired That's totally cool as well All right. So There we go. So we cut that side and now I'm going to work the opposite side as well tilt the head up Move the camera a little bit So do you always have to point the fingers down on the right side? Uh, tell another good question. I think um I do but you could go over top of it as well if you wanted but still your fingers would be pointing down. So I think that's a little bit of a personal preference So here we go horizontal line I'm working each side. I'm doing a section on each side and then moving forward The reason I'm doing that is because um, I want to make sure each side is balanced And I don't want to get lost in any guides or anything. So just keep working side to side All right. Now my fingers are going to be pointed up and I'm going to be working to my left Just like this Straight out find your guide Cut just remember everything's coming straight back Off the head not to the middle just straight back check it a little bit It looks good line looks good Got some nice layers starting in the back. So when you take a look at this You'll start to see that there's layers happening. Nothing's super extreme at this point So it's just starting to stack up. You look here You start to see some of those layers coming to life in there. It'll really start to pop when we get to the top here so now Come back over Very cool. It's good to see you guys if you could just hit the share button for me We're building up pretty nice numbers here on all the facebook channels Double in the manurva today loving it. So if you're on the manurva channel, make sure you hit that share button Love being live on their stuff Let's see. I got to get a little Tunage on here a little music for you guys I can't just hear myself talk all the time All right, so now let down this section Kentucky it's up Terry All right, so now I'm going to go right around the crown.  So here Call him this hair down Keep the hair saturated ginger texas So now I'm coming out. So Adele check this out now. I'm not Pointing my while I'm pointing my fingers down, but cutting a little bit different so here I'm going to move so you can see in my black Jackets not in the way Comb this out. There's my guide I'm going to work up See if you guys can see this way So now I'm still working straight back Grab a little bit of new hair Straight out Larry I know my jacket's black So be aware. Look at the top part of this section. It's coming straight out. This is layering So what I got to do is I cut I'm going to have to take a shift just shift it a little bit and come up Depending on where you want that weight to sit, but for me. So I cut here straight out Like this because that's 90 at that point and then I come here and I shift up And I take out this corner Keep it layered draw the same thing A little bit of that old grab some new here Serves it 90 degrees savanna.  Why don't you ask me your question here? Watching while driving don't watch and drive Cheryl um Could listen though always listen Um ask the question about your shoes here and I'll uh, I'll figure it out straight back cut Shift up And what's this doing uh for me as I bring it up and over direct back. It's pushing just a little extra weight into that side Right below the ear and basically where I want you guys to kind of focus in Is the fact that when you look at this head When you look at anybody's head Right at this point here There's Quite a bit of density in this point of the head But then as soon as you start going up the hairline now the density gets less So I don't mind pushing a little extra weight right behind that ear just to balance the shape out a little bit And that's really my my thought process and my goal through that All right Didn't see where you can add the coupon code If you use partially you can't use a coupon code If you use partially Because the payment plans are different um They just don't work that way. So unfortunately um We you just can't and that's a that's a rule that is against us at that point. Um so Either get the discount or you get the payment plan, but you can't do both All right So now i'm going to take another section On the opposite side same thing Taking out that crown area right here Working my way around Letting the rest of the hair down And that's what i'm going to work with Clip that away now.  Um, thanks nicole. Appreciate it.  So Basically the way that I look at it is Not so much like how much do I want to cut off? How long do I want the interior layers to be in this haircut? So if I want, um The kind of the body to happen right in this area That's where i'm gonna i'm going to cut the layers just a little bit longer than that so that when I Create volume and I round brush it now My shape is building up around this point. Um The way that I look at weight and kind of how you pull it through the head Is anytime I cut the hair it's pushing weight Let me turn the music down Anytime you cut the hair you're pushing weight somewhere else. So if I cut it off at this point What is it doing? It's it's putting it somewhere else. So for me In this cut It's kind of like i'm carrying the weight carrying the weight and then where do I drop it off at? Or do I just completely knock it off as much as I can and it'll just kind of shove it towards the bottom So think about it this way As I go through here and I cut the hair Right here take my section My guide will come From right there So now if I stopped at this point At this length I'm visually looking at this haircut as I'm cutting it and I'm saying to myself this top piece Right here is going to drop and fall At this point is this where I want everything to start building up Then that's the length that I want and I'll base everything on that. I'll start bringing it to that point If I wanted to to start kind of building up the layering and the volume and all that happening a little bit higher than that Then I want to obviously take this section like I'm doing And go even more 90 degrees To remove that weight off of there And then that allows me another section to then take weight up higher in the head if that makes sense so Hopefully it does so I grab hair Bring it here straight out from the head cut it like that And then lift it to that 90 point. I can see my guide for my previous section And we're good new hair Hair next to it Bring it up. So Nicole, can you recommend a really good barber? Sure. What shears Are using now and do you like the swivels? They really gave them much of a chance to get used to them. So I don't know if I like them So, um, Nicole a great question. I don't love swivel scissors. They're just not my thing, but a lot of people do um I've never really used them. So I think kind of like you're saying like I've never gotten used to them So for me, I don't really love them. I do think they help with body position in certain ways, but um I just it's not something I've ever really wanted to get used to um With that being said so a good scissor um On our shop shop fse. We sell Mizetani scissors. That's my recommendation. It's what I've used for years now um, I've sold them for years Nobody complains about the quality of them. They're just I mean, they're really literally one of the only handmade Japanese scissors left, so um You know, I just stick with companies like Mizetani like pivot point ones. I know are doing it right That's who I like to work with Uh, all right So any Mizetani scissor just depends on what you're trying to do Like for if it's a barbering scissor Then I like to just go with a little bit longer length, but from a scissor standpoint. You could really use most of them um But I like a longer length because I do a lot more scissor over comb work not doing as much precision work for Women's hairdressing like I'm doing now. This is a five and a half inch scissor. I also use a five inch scissor um Both of them Yep, it's right here. So I have a five inch and a five and a half inch These are both my uh scissor my design made by Mizetani Um, I sell them on our website The five inch I love for precision cutting. So I do a lot of that and So I like a shorter scissor because it works. It's a lot easier to work lines with a shorter scissor All right Let me get the smith fit. Yeah, that's a good choice black smith fit is a great all-around scissor good price point Uh, it was one of my first Mizetani scissors as well Uh, and I still use it to this day because it's six and a half inch. So I use it for scissor over comb All right A lot of good questions today. You guys are nailing it. Love it um Tyler you're welcome I think I'm gonna get Let's see. All right. I think we're good. You got everybody's questions Ashley. Yeah, that's uh, it's a cool spray bottle for sure They work really well. They saturate the hair really well And it's like a constant spray a nice little mist instead of that Like massive spray that comes out of other ones All right, so I'm taking a vertical section And this is going to be our highest elevation yet So I want you guys to kind of see what I do here. I'm gonna take the hair Straight up like this And we're going to work this crown of the head So I don't want to take too much length Which is why so this is what I would tell you guys right now so this here So what I would say to you guys is if I were to have started Shorter layers right away initially by the time I got up here. It would have been really short This is going to be a pretty good length for me As I go into it and I'm also going to over direct it just slightly higher So here's 90 degrees right here. I'm just going to go slightly a bit higher and I'm going to point cut into that line The reason I'm going to point cut it is because I want it to be nice and soft. So right here Just a nice soft point cut Into this line and then watch this we talked about length Drops And now we're hitting right about in this area where we want all that volume to build up In the haircut because where my camera slowly wants to just Fall back lock it in There we go All right So here we were and we came in and we point cut through So next section Still going to just work straight back on the head I'm going to push some of that length towards the front not much, but just the tiniest bit Straight back elevate it up find our guide and point cut Same thing grab a little hair next to it that's over Thank you, Nicole Nice length on the layers. Thanks Jennifer Love the cheering cheering section today. It's good straight up point cut Christina, you're very welcome Appreciate it everybody. All right, and this is all coming straight back Still point cutting the line So now tons of layers Can't really see it yet. I'll show it to you guys in a second So last little bit same thing. So now I'm just going to be body position is the same I'm going to be pushing away from myself Towards the back towards the guide Elevate nice and high find the guide And there it is Point cut through Break that in half Here's a question for all of you If you shared the class on social if you hit that share button right share in the chat I want to see who you are So we thanks so much appreciate that Hair professionals, thank you And last little bit coming from the side Mexico very cool Very cool Judy, thank you Elena. Thank you Look at these layers guys super cool So tons of layers popping through there That's the whole back. So that's everything that wants to fall into the back So you know that the layers won't get any shorter than that there Which is the goal you don't want to have two short of layers working through your cut You see right there And now we're going to create tons of volume in the side as well without cutting things too short So let's start off with our strong our heavy side, which is going to be the right side The heavy side we broke up into two sections, right? So we have our top section and we have our bottom So I'm going to start off on the Bottom and then we're going to work our way to the top. So I'll clip the top away Let the bottom out Now this you can tie into the bottom or Into that perimeter if you want to if you feel you need to for me I want to connect them through layering. So I'm not really worried about cutting a blunt line yet What I want to do is I'm going to take a slight diagonal forward parting Just like this and I'm going to elevate And this is where people I feel get too like Too into connecting everything That's not really the goal When I'm cutting hair. So I'm going to show you guys. I want to keep some weight in this drop my comb I want to keep some weight in this haircut Because I don't want it to be too layered too light. So There you go So here we go right into the front section This parting should mimic where you're going to bring the hair to So if I draw a line like that, that's what my fingers are going to do in the front Uh, that's always the goal And I want these to be nice and long.  Oh my gosh One of those days it's that day Drop the comb day All right, I bring this up And I'll cut it in the same spot what this will do is connect the sides in the back So all the way through hopefully you'll have a tiny bit to cut you can see barely anything in there I'll cut that which will connect My front and back As where you're very welcome There we go So now you can see some of these layers popping through now i'm going to do some more work on that top But i'm going to do the other side first Now here's the thing with the other side. This is our weak side. This is the side that um Is the part side so her part's right here This is going to fall and it's only going to be what it is like this side This part's going to fall over it so it's even thicker and fuller The reason I call it the weaker side is because the part from here down You've only got this much density. So you don't want to cut these sides the same I do want to cut a face frame in both sides But what i'm going to do is i'm going to take Now diagonal back partings and i'm going to work a lower elevation Line to help hold a little bit of density Then maybe i'll go in and add a little bit of point cutting layers or something like that to lighten up some of it To give it the appearance that there's some extra volume in there But I don't want to take out too much of that density Um before I actually see it dry if that makes sense.  So one thing I tried to do today was do less music today Um because I wanted to just have a little more classroom ish I do like having the music in my ear But i'm trying to get over that fact because editing things later with music in them It doesn't sound very good either. So let me know. Do you guys like the music playing while I teach or do you like this? Vibe better Let me know music no music Let me know in the comments All right, so diagonal back parting remember i'm taking a parting based on how i'm going to hold it in my fingers So what i'm going to do is i'm going to be holding it i'm going to go a little more vertical So I look at like what angle do I really want to hold it at I want to be about here So i'm going to shift My angle of my parting a little bit I'll check it out I like both okay Look we're having our own voting today. It's great cool Yeah, I think I'll I mean I'll have music, but I think like It just you know, I think it's just a comfort level thing I feel like it brings up some energy in my in my brain a little bit, but For the most part, I think it's a little distracting sometimes. All right so now You want to make sure that you kind of tie these two sides together, but they don't have to match fully Okay, so don't get so tied up in this side having to be perfectly identical to this side They're two different haircuts. So that's kind it is what it is. So look at here And now actually show you the overhead like this So when I look at these two sections here, I could literally grab a piece Make sure that these are just close enough and just know that okay, this is where they kind of match up At this point. So what I'll do is I'll take this and I don't blunt cut it off because it's a little bit thick, but I'll just Cut a little line into it. So then once I have that little line Then I can bring everything and this will be a good kind of overhead view of where I'm bringing the hair to Just straight out in front. Here's the nose So the hair is coming straight forward so just like that and then Go back to our trusty angle here So everything's coming forward Yeah, I agree with you guys. Okay Cool. Thanks So here it is cutting Now the other side I brought it all the way up and cut it that just took weight out But it didn't change what we're cutting. We're cutting a face kind of a face frame. We're cutting layers That are getting starting short getting longer into the back. So it doesn't change what we're doing. It just changes like literally the The angle the weight distribution so Again vertical Now if you went too short on this you'd obviously want to focus on that perimeter because You might start cutting your perimeter too short So just know that if you're working with a shorter even shorter layers than this Then Maybe leave out that bottom Section and cut a blunt line later Like I don't have to cut everything I could leave this because that's my length And then I could go through and just cut that one length at the end For today, we're good Because of the length we're working with but and now I'm just going to bring everything forward because We're condensed cutting salon reality thought process here Just bring it all around and now there's not much to cut So I'll just cut this off. It connects the front and the back and then I'm good to go there Connecting it. See there's not much to cut and now we know that we've connected This part side So we turn it seeing more layers popping through pretty cool And then now we're going to work this top section Zoom in I'm going to work this top section here Take that out Is it 45 degrees? So actually a good question Yeah So my elevation is not 45 degrees, right? So like I look at like where am I bringing it out from the head? I was bringing it straight out And my elevation was straight over as well So I would consider that Because this is a pretty flat area on the head. I would consider that almost 90 degrees, but then horizontally I'm building short to long in the back. So We talk about this in our zoom classes So those of you guys that have taken those will know But there's two aspects of haircutting that we really want to focus on and it's horizontal and it's vertical so in vertical Which is kind of what actually he's talking about. So that's where we would really talk about that 45 degrees If i'm bringing this straight over like this and cutting it like straight out from the head then to me Because i'm not elevating it up and down it's not 45. It's straight out. So it's 90 But then when you look at it horizontally You've got kind of an angle that goes short to long it gets longer towards the back So that's kind of a different vibe too. So you just really have to um Think about it in two two different directions horizontal and vertical for me In my brain the way that it works That's straight out from the head 45 would be more down like this and cutting Which would build up weight All right On to the top So what i'm going to do here I'm going to section everything So this is our top section that we just took out What i'm going to do is i want to connect this top section with the side Section as well But everything's going to come straight How do I want to do this?  So here's the guide At that point right there in my finger. So i'm going to cut that line Following the round of the head Now it'll give me some some layering throughout here and then i'm just going to continue back Bringing everything forward to this point As I go and it'll get longer and longer towards the back section. Here we go So bring it up And we've done this on a past class before Uh this type of layering In the front But it definitely creates a really big Explosion of layers throughout Just following around there you go like that I'm going to turn a little bit Feather haircut only with scissors Sylvia I will do that sometime For sure. All right forward you guys can't really even see Why didn't you tell me? I'm just gonna All right, let me do this Like that and I'll push forward from here. So grab a section To the front like this And cut and point cutting just creates a softer effect and I'll think there's anything to cut here Tiny bit and if you really wanted Because now we've got we've created short to long right so when you look at this And I bring some of this hair Up Now vertically because we cut it Forward so you can see Oh you can't see We'll come back a little bit like this Now you guys can see So when I bring this section up not the back, but when I bring up what we just cut You could see it's a short to long line right there But then there's shorter hair here From our back section. So when I comb that up, you'll see there's shorter hair from our back section That's a disconnect but when it falls You can see that it starts to connect a little bit more, but it's still a little bit long. So if you wanted to You could take just in that back portion because some people like to connect and sometimes with layering As I go through here, I would either go in and do a little tease cutting or whatever But if you guys wanted to you could just Kind of slide this section back and just see if there's some longer pieces and just Really just kind of point cut into those pieces Just to break it up a little bit. So it's nothing like I don't want to change anything but I just want to look for any disconnected pieces that Happen to be hanging off from The two different sections that we cut So you can see there's not really even anything, but I just soften it the tiniest bit. These are layers This is not a precision.  So you can go in and point cut it just a little bit.  I'm not cutting anything short in this fringe because this is kind of an updo mannequin and they're expensive. So I didn't want to cut it off. I just wanted to show you guys some volume today I probably even went too short with these layers, but we'll call it salon reality updos So now let the front out Thank you. Tiffany. Appreciate it. Good to see you all right, so You've got this side of the parting and you've got this side of the parting So I bring this hair over I can grab a little bit of the previously cut section and we did this in my virtual class today kind of version of this and The reason I'm going to do this this way is because If I just brought it all out and I cut it blunt like I did On the side section It would be blunt and heavier. What I want to do is I want to soften this section. So It's still going to be the same length. There's my guideline right through there As you can see it But what I'll do is I'm going to soften that line But just a little bit of slide cutting Because the slide cutting will soften The the weight so it'll it'll remove a little extra weight. So it's still I held it in the same area But it made it a little bit softer if that makes sense. So I'm going to do the same thing on this side I got a little piece I can grab as a guide from what we cut above Right, so there it is Home the rest down And now I'm going to do the same thing on this section I can do a little more Elevation on this section But I'm going to do that same slide cut Okay Looks nice and bouncy. That's right All right, so lifting the hair up and I'm going to come in here and I'm just going to cut into it So just like slide cutting Through I'm half closing the scissor as I come down Just to soften that angle So now when I look at this It's got a really nice kind of bouncy Layered feel to it. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Everybody almost there Now we're going to blow it dry and you guys will really see these layers come into life Oh Right here check it out Tons of fun. So product choice. We're going to blow this dry I'm going to use invisible wear volume whip. This is from Paul Mitchell Uh I'm just going to choose this product today. Here we go. Put a little bit of this foam in Shake it up a little bit. It's a nice lightweight foam. So Uh, I can't really use too much of it. It's not super sticky or anything Does create a nice volume smells delicious You know hits all the key factors that we're looking for Thanks guys Could use a razor for that for sure. So definitely Razor would be a great choice to create that kind of fringe area this little front piece Um, definitely Glennis, thank you What's up, Jess? See you there All right, here we go So I get that product through and once I have the product in the hair. I like to brush it in Using my paddle brush. This is the ergo paddle brush we sell it on our shop shop fse Dot com freesalon education dot com however you want to get there If you can see, uh, just a nice professional paddle brush Work that through the hair get that product on every bit of hair that you can And then I'm going to start to blow it dry now a lot of people like to go right in with the round brush I like to blow dry first with a paddle brush Lift get some volume smooth the hair scalp to mid shaft and then I'll go through with the um The round brush towards the end when I'm about 80 dry. So, uh, I'm going to turn on some music um You guys watch my hands and then we'll we'll go over it in a minute Here we go. It's coming back guys. We had a little technical difficulty there for a sec. It might even uh It's coming back. I know I know it's frozen. All right We see Coming back coming back. This is what happened So Totally just had like crazy Crazy stuff. It's okay though. We're going to go back to blow drying. Here we go All right, so um, now what I'm going to do is I'm going to section off for my round brushing Uh The reason I like to do that is just to stay organized for you guys. Uh in the salon, I don't always section uh for round brushing but Today's the day.  Um, first We'll go right here working around the crown and then Kind of what I look forward to when I'm sectioning off the crown for Blow drying putting some volume in here is like I'm not I don't want that clean sections, but I definitely Have to be clean enough to I'm not getting all tangled up. Um I'm looking for about three inches of hair Around the front of the face.  So that's something I like to do Um when I'm putting volume in the hair now, I'm going to separate the front and the back Here I'll clip that forward I'm going to work the back at first today. Um, I know that sometimes you start in the front Show your clients, you know, what they what they've been waiting for But for today, I'm going to start in the back Just get it get it going. So let me show you the other side. I'm going to split that in half As well here Comb that forward.  This also creates texture a little bit of volume feel to it. Um, Which is always beneficial Thanks, Laura.  Actually a little bit. Um, I would be a little more cautious of it I was just trying to quickly get it done But I usually have my clients tilt their head down so their hair is in their face, but it's not You know whipping them in the face. That's it's never the goal All right So I've got my ergo Round brush Right here. Let's see if it'll Will it focus? There you go. So this is the ergo brush 43 um On chop fse you can get them on there Uh professional, you know round brush has an extra long barrel Which is really helpful when you want to take a lot of hair at a time or a wider section Today we're going to be working this kind of four inch five inch section all the way around the head And that's about it. So what I'll do is I'll work Kind of vertically on both sides back All for the face and then all this top section will round brush forward Towards the face and then kind of so on so forth through the front So here we go Let's get a little little music while I sweat it out over here Actually might take my jacket off Because it's getting hot it's getting hot Yeah And just so you guys know and so that we're all on the same page watching me round brush He's about as rare as seeing like a white rhino Just so you know, so it doesn't happen very often Actually, I don't even know white rhinos exist anymore Or ever. All right Here we go. That's actually a good, um, I love it. Michelle's like they definitely exist Where I live. Okay. Good to know. We're learning all kinds of things today. So Somebody said silky smooth. So one thing I want to talk about with that Is as I'm blowing it dry So that's one of the reasons why I like to get the hair About 80 drive before I start to blow dry it with a round brush because otherwise you spend so much time doing this work Some people can just round brush for days and that's just not me So, um, I like to start with the 80 dry and then as I'm working the hair In the in the brush. I'm working the nozzle straight down So like all the air flow is coming over top of the hair Which lays down the cuticle and that cuticle is where you get the shine If you think about the cuticle as like Fish scales if they're laying down the light reflects off of those and then that's how you get shiny hair So you want to get as much shine as possible If you just get the hair a little bit dry because you're just trying to round brush it so much Um, you're not going to get that smooth So for me the hair goes from wet to damp To dry and frizzy to then smooth So you kind of go through the stages right now We're at damp and then we get to dry And then we get or we get to dry and frizzy and then we get to dry and then we get to smooth So you really got to go through those steps and keep working that air flow Over top of the hair don't fry the hair. Just go over top of it And you'll get that shine. So That's kind of some more fun facts for you guys blow dry tip day Yeah blow dry tip day Actually, let's do this we like Yes That song is the worst, but it's it'll always agree with you pegs not feeling it either All right, so another little tip with uh with working with the round brush Size-wise saw somebody ask a question about the size When you're going through and you use a smaller brush you get more volume the bigger the brush the smoother and straighter the hair gets So a lot of people will grab A bigger brush because they think they're going to get more volume with it, but that's actually the opposite The bigger the brush should just keep smooth in the hair. It's a bigger surface. This will work that route and create More of a volume kind of feel at the base And yes that song is for jokes, but apparently apparently we're not feeling it today not feeling the jokes those jokes Here we go I'll let it sit let it cool a little bit And then when I release it I give it kind of let it turn out a little bit And then I stop stretching it and I stop pulling the hair out because it's still cooling and you want it to cool in that form So I'll just keep wrapping it out of the brush and then you can see that kind of you know formation That happens in there All right, we're almost through the back the back's the only part of round brushing I don't like Then we'll get into the front which is the glory the good stuff there Yeah, I put uh sand or I put Paul Mitchell invisible where volume whip In the hair first then once I got 80 dry I went in and put some undone texture spray from Paul Mitchell invisible wear as well To give me a little hold on the The dry portion of this This would be a good point to put in some heat protectant as well She's a mannequin and I don't have it with me, but If she was alive I would go find it because it's good to have a nice heat protectant on the hair When you're working through so there's the back So we're getting there you guys can't see much yet, but you'll see it You'll see it soon enough. All right, so now we're going to work right here into the side section of the head Right here and what I'm going to do is I'm going to work up the head shape so like this Taking you know two inch sections about as thick as the brush through And working those up in the air because the higher I reach this up the more volume I'm going to get uh for my haircut.  It's good to see you But I just keep working through when I think I'm done. I got like two more passes Let it cool You could hit the cool shot on it as well on the blow dryer And then I let it out and just kind of roll out the brush. I don't touch the hair. Let the hair cool Too many people want to run their hands through at this point It's still hot and if you do that it'll stretch it out and it'll take away the volume that you just put in it You don't want to take out that volume. So I'm going to go up just below the parting here. I want to leave the parting Uh for the last section Here we go got a little bit of hair In it I'm gonna do the same thing. So just lifting up creating that volume There's gonna be so much volume in this haircut I think you guys realize it's going to explode Explode with volume Can't wait for you guys to see it. All right, so I'm going to leave the part. I'm going to start working on the other side I haven't gotten quite to the part yet. I'm just below it. I want to work the other side first and then I'll go into The rest of the or then I'll blow dry the part I'm actually probably going to do the part last because that's kind of the Let's call it like the money piece in there Um, so I'll probably do that last Matt, would you put the hair in your client's face like that? Probably not. I would be way more aware of it Much cleaner Very funny, Jeff Thank you, Cheryl Wait, Cheryl, how Not only are you listening and driving but you have to be watching and you have to be texting and driving You have to stop Tell me on instagram later something Comment on a video somewhere Comment on this video later. All right a couple more Yes, that is the Dyson blow dryer And I think it was Lynn. I'm gonna get this out I think it was Lynn. It was asking about the weight of the Dyson blow dryer. It's it's not heavy um I don't feel like it's heavy at all It's actually probably one of my favorite things about it. It's also not super loud Um Which I like for teaching because when you teach Sometimes it's hard to teach and blow dry at the same time And that's kind of I knew I had to do that today So I needed a nice quiet dryer Oh, she got to her destination. Good Cheryl Good I can't see that in the chat because it's going going by too quick. All right very cool YouTube you killed it in the numbers today. Facebook was pretty good today as well a lot of newbies on there Uh, if you've been watching the whole time, let me know in the chat And uh, if you can if you didn't share yet at least hit that share button and uh Let's get as many people in here as possible. You can even share it later If you wanted to that would be great or on instagram you could share it in your story Because it's the only way people get to know that this show even exists and they can get here and learn That's what it's all about. So now here I've got my part and a little bit of the other side This is all the part that's going to kind of come back and over So I'm going to keep this As its own section and that's going to be very my very last thing That I do right here clip it Like that if you wanted to spray a little bit that root lifter at the root let it set You could I could even take a little bit of hairspray like this is what's funny Like people talk about root lifter, but root lifters this it's not much different than hairspray Maybe a little less hold, but if you have a light hold hairspray Spray that in there. Just let it set Do my last section Here Thank you, Jess Yeah, the mannequin has pretty thick hair. You're right Lynn Straight up in the air like this Thanks bag Free salon education facebook killing it today too. Thank you guys if you're sitting on facebook right now Hit the like button hit the share button Even twitch we have somebody today Twitch this is the first day of twitch today and we got someone We're reeling them in all right Now we've got our background section. This is a little fun fact here. I'm gonna do the same thing a little spray at the root here and split this in half again, this is not Just if you don't have root lifter Fun fact So now what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna take a tiny bit of this section I'm gonna bring it all the way to the front like this And I'm gonna round brush it all the way forward So it'll be off base With tons of volume in the crown Just like that So forward could take a little thicker section than us I'm really sure what And sherry you don't have to use hairspray for root lifter like getting a root lifter is Good, but if you don't have one It's not that different. It's just got hold So then let that set Off base you can see this would be on base and we're off base maximum volume Tip for not getting the hair tangled in the brush I mean I would say for me So I take Not too big of a section try to get nice and clean sections and then Also before I start blow drying you'll notice. I'm not blow drying right now I take the brush in there and I brush it out So like right now it's a little tangled up and I'll just work it through until it's smooth and then Keep the brush in there and grab my blow dryer and now it's smooth So when I work through it I don't have any tangles and it just smoothly goes to the hair It's also good to like because I didn't I'm not using it on the wet hair I'm using it on pretty much dry hair at this point just easier. So this is all going forward off base Not blow drying the roots why it is drying the roots, but I already dried the roots with my Uh paddle brush So they're a little wet right now, but I will it'll keep like as I keep drying they'll end up drying The way they are so I don't go roots to ends always. Um That's just a personal thing. I don't even know why I never was taught that it's just something that I guess I do So now tilter head forward that last little bit of the crown area Can you do a video on blow drying techniques? Well, this is like these are pretty uh This is a pretty basic blow drying technique. I guess if I like break down the actual technique I could do that Um, yeah We could do that for sure All right, so that's forward let it cool Let it out And now so that's the crown area I'm gonna go a little bit into this is that part of the root that wasn't dry It's gonna get in there a little bit further There we go You're very welcome temple temple It is the uh dyson dryer All right, so here is now that front uh money piece that we were talking about on the part So I'm gonna bring that out and I'm gonna break it up into two sections. I want to over direct this forward We're gonna hit it at the root a little bit hit it at the root in the back a little bit And now I'm gonna blow dry it straight up. Let me show you guys how our head's tilted There's gonna be so much volume in this guys. You don't even know You don't even know we succeeded today. I can already tell So blow drying up And over now in this dryer. I mean the dryer is like 300 bucks The pro version you have to submit for it on dyson's website Um, and then there's a consumer version. I think it's 400 bucks But just so you guys know they sent this to me for free to do a video on their Flat iron, which I'm probably gonna bring out to finish off this thing Um, so I have to let you guys know that too. I didn't pay for this thing But I do like it and I paid for my other one. I have a white one, but That was before the professional one was out so All right, so here's the last piece blow drying everything forward in the bang area Yeah, 300 bucks isn't that bad especially for a professional like We do this every day Oh my gosh guys wait all this hard work's gonna pay off here. Let that set for a second No, I would not necessarily would stand there with my client But I wanted to get the camera ready Here just a little bit Thank you Nala that's a cool name. All right, let's see. Let's get this a good uh Bring some inspirational tunes back in guys so we can show you guys this end result All right, you guys are gonna love this thing Go in a little bit more. Oh my goodness. Let me take this out then, uh Get my hands in there a little bit kind of work them back Here we go. What do you guys think? Let's finish it up Whoa. Whoa. Whoa Explosion just so you guys know I don't know if he would want to take Credit for this or not my round brushing skills, but this is a good old Sam Burns Me assisting him all those years. I don't round brush often, but You can really pop some volume So see that kick up right there. That's actually the hairspray Sitting in there Need a stronger hairspray Gotta cheat. I'm gonna cheat a little bit here What do I got? That's good. All right, we're getting there. We're getting there Nope. All right, let me start showing. Look at those layers Wowzer tons of volume tons of layers What do you guys think? Do we like it? Awesome. Thank you so much. Maddie. Appreciate it. Thank you. Jess Jacqueline awesome Jan, thank you I think we nailed it guys.  I'm not really sure we haven't colored this one. This is how she came tons of volume As you see here All the layers Nothing seems like overly weighted. We got the back and the side Weak side Amanda, no way. I'm going to talk to you guys about that for a second You see Shake it out a little bit see them layers This is why I don't do a live model because look can't do this Just kidding. All right So let's talk about this for a second because somebody just asked it was Amanda If I would Ever do a video where I instruct somebody to cut their own hair while I tell them what to do. I would not Only because and let me let's talk about this for a sec. Let me see my camera on here. Oh, I thought it was broke. Um so Only because I always look terrible by the end of these things. Um Because I just don't uh believe that Like I don't even I don't cut my own hair if I do I know I'm messing it up.  Um But like I've been doing hair for a long time and I can't cut my own hair. So I don't There's always a professional that that can do it. Um, or like so I understand that some people like they just love doing hair, but they don't have a hair license They like cutting their friend's hair or whatever But you can't cut your own hair like it's just not it's not a thing And I could never teach somebody over it like we teach professionals to say that Don't do one haircut like this haircut here will not work on everybody. It wouldn't work probably on you Uh, there would be different aspects of it that might work on certain people But it won't work on everyone. So as a professional you need to understand how to um Adjust your technique to fit each client and uh, there's no way Like I could walk somebody through trying to do their hair as a funny video But it wouldn't be like I wouldn't do it as a serious thing trying to teach somebody to do that on themselves because There's just no reason To do it on yourself. And if you haven't had a great experience at a salon I understand like a lot of people send me messages and they say that they haven't had a good Uh haircut they can't find a good hairdresser. So they want to cut their own hair. That's just a To me that's a little bit of an excuse because there's always great hairdressers everywhere. You just haven't found it yet Found the one there's a ton of people that need to train to get better and so I feel bad for some people because I think it can be a scary thing trying to find a good stylist But there's always good stylist out there in every every town Every small town every large city like you can find one. So, um, my My goal is in Christina's goal as we build free salon education is to build a platform that connects people with talented hairdressers And so that's why we're launching things like the virtual cutting club and all of that to build Hairdressers that care about what they do and um if And then hopefully you'll be able to find one of those so you don't have to worry about You know, we take we take doing hair very seriously just like Like I I obsess over learning and getting better at cutting hair Just like you probably do at your job or any of you guys out there at your job Not saying that I couldn't try to change my oil or try to do certain things But there's certain things that I just know that a professional can do better And that they should do better because they study it Nobody can watch a youtube video and become good at cutting hair. It's just not not how it works You got to study for a long time and learn it and um, you know, and that's just that's how it works So let's see. Hopefully that makes sense In a good way in a good way Uh, thank you guys so much. Let me pull your reactions over here All right, um And more importantly, that's how we make our living that is important Amy. I I agree with you, but at the same time No matter what, I mean, there's not going to be enough people on the planet that want to cut their own hair To take away our living So I never really worry about that like I don't I don't care if people try to cut their own hair I think I don't think you're going to do a good job For the most part and you want to know why because I've studied for a very Long time and I still don't feel like I'm good at it. So If you want a really good haircut, you need to go to somebody that's been it's really Dedicated to it and learning it And when you get to the level of where You are good at cutting hair there will always be People that want to come to you like the one thing that I Always think about is like if somebody can watch a youtube video Learn to cut their own hair and replace you then you haven't studied enough.  So I think there's There's just as much of a challenge in our industry of people going and paying for haircuts That aren't worth the money that they're charging then there is people also trying to cut it home. It's just the reality like We both need to get better like the whole industry needs to get to a higher standard And people won't want to cut their hair at home went into it Um, let's see If you're nine million views a week don't show that you aren't good enough Jess, here's the thing though. I'm not saying that I'm not good at cutting hair I know I'm good at cutting hair But what I'm saying is every time I do a haircut or style or anything like when I just blew that drive um, you know A bunch of you are saying like great job I love it and then I think one person said something like that they they didn't like it and I agree with that person because there's certain things that I don't like about it either But I do like a lot about it and and then next time when I cut that haircut I'll do it Better and I will style it even better and I'll get better at my technique And that's the kind of stuff that for me just keeps me going and driving and wanting to be better um Ah, let's see. I would not cut my own hair. Maybe trim bangs at that It's fine. Like this is the thing. I I don't think like here here's what Is kind of beautiful about this whole thing All of us became hairdressers that are hairdressers in this chat because at one point we loved hair and we wanted to try it So i'm never going to discourage anybody at any age to want to try cutting hair like or doing whatever with your hair like obviously Certain things like coloring hair and stuff like that's not smart Um cutting hair really isn't either because you're probably going to end up with a terrible haircut But if you love it if you like it and you think maybe like I don't know. That's how we all got into this, right? Like we all liked hair at one point. So So why would I be upset about somebody wanting to you know To be into hair They might be the next educator next person the next sam via the next Whatever just because they started they saw youtube video and now they love doing it and now they go to school and they become it Or they don't go to school and they can't take your clients anyways That's what i'm saying thank you Uh, thank you.
