Licensed stylist here who’s been watching you for a few years… I love your honest and clear explanations of these haircuts and styles. The ppl making ugly comments are being a bit too general and just don’t understand how tailoring a not so great short style can make it much more flattering to the eye. Ps- I love the amount of detail you go into. Some of us love a visual with a thorough explanation and don’t want you to “get to the point”. That comment was not speaking for the rest of us who don’t want our hair chopped up carelessly. Thanks for making quality content with your own flavor added👍 👍

[@justinhickox]

Thank you so much! I truly appreciate this. I find stylists can be the hardest on their peers. So I always take hairstylists support deeply to heart! I’m really glad you appreciate the deeper explanations. That’s the way I learn so it ends up being the way I teach. I totally get that it isn’t for everyone but I do think, it’s a better route to ensure that people understand the why instead of just the what.

There's a major difference between dictating and making recommendations. And you always say that people should wear their hair the way they want and what makes them feel comfortable.

You do you by helping us do the same! * blows kiss*

I love the way you explain everything in detail-that’s how all teachers should be. I’m not a professional stylist but in all walks of life, you learn more by explaining in detail. There is nothing worse than going into a job not knowing everything that it entails. And, yes, you do not have to watch these videos. I do believe (whether you agree or not on his methodology) you probably learned “something”.

[@justinhickox]

Thank you! I appreciate this a lot! I totally understand I talk a lot! That's fair, but I prefer a deep explanation rather than me having to ask tons of questions to get the answers I need. SO, that's how I teach things. I'm glad to hear you like that too!

Thank you so much! I truly appreciate that. It’s funny, I received a comment from someone a couple of weeks ago, saying how terrible I was, and how stupid the video was, etc. When I clicked on their profile, I realized they also have a KZbin channel. I quickly responded with “your opinion is yours, that’s fine. The sad part is someone who has their own channel likely knows how hard it can be to put yourself out there. It’s unfortunate that you feel the need to be so rude about it”. Within less than five minutes that comment was taken down by the original poster. Once people realize that you have the ability to respond to them, it’s funny how often they get very quiet about their very loud opinions! Lol.

I have worn a bob haircut of one variety or another for several years, and have had some of these "mistakes" inflicted upon me by adventurous hairdressers.

Thank you so much! I truly appreciate that. It’s funny, I’ve had clients that got upset with me because they would come in and tell me to do whatever I want. In the situation, I typically ask the most questions. I’ve always felt, it’s a relevant what I think a client should wear. It needs to be a style that they feel good in. Where I come in, is helping them adapt the hairstyle they want to work best for them.

The thing i loved in this video is that you took the styles that we would ask for and showed us how to get what we want but so much better. I just went to a new stylist that did the exact same thing and I'm so happy with my cut. If she'd given me what I asked for without explaining why she thought i should modify it, I would have been so unhappy. She was very experienced and she was right. She wasn't pushy and I know she would have cut it my original way if I had insisted but she had valid explanations.

My hair used to be thick enough to layer but with age it has become too thin to layer. For the last haircut I got, it was recommended that instead of making a front downward slope, that as you say requires layering, I should get a slight U-shape front and no layers. Well I was sceptical lol, but why not try it. It looked amazing! So could you please include discussions regarding thinning hair? Thanks for your expertise and excellent explanations.

[@amyfazzio9425]

Oh my!!! I so agree with you! I have to wear a hat to work everyday and it has caused my hair to thin terribly:( I need a new style but it's so hard to find a style with thin hair!

Hi Justin, Thanks for a great video detailing how subtle changes can make a big difference in various "bob" cuts. I don't find you arrogant, personally, I appreciate your direct and detailed nature. Since I am growing my hair out and looking to change it up a little for fall I was looking for ideas and watched this video, and was glad I did. You provided the details I was looking for in a few cuts I would not consider without the changes you suggested (with the why included), so thanks for that! I found a great cut and color combination in the video as inspiration to bring with me to the salon next week. If people do not like the content, they are free to move on to another video 🤣🤣🤣

[@gilfam823]

This was great. I’m 51 and I’ve worn my hair in some version of a bob for most of my adult life. This helped me to be clear about why some of my past cuts didn’t work. I also just watched the video on medium cuts, and even though I rarely let my hair get past my shoulders, that helped me understand why the layering didn’t work on some of my cuts

[@miracurls]

I've been doing hair since 1979, & I agree with your assessment on the Bob haircuts. Unfortunately a lot of the "younger" generation of hairstylists assume they know better than the rest of us! The attitude I've always had in the industry is that, you're never too old to learn something new, or old in some cases, & if you think that you know it all.. then it's time to find a new profession! Kuddos to you for your amazing contributions to all of us! Thank you! Miracurls

I found a good hairdresser but she treated me like a number, whisked me in and out, and could never remember who I was, even mistaking me for someone else and telling me to leave, when I had just booked the appt about an hour earlier. So I just can’t go back to her. When you’ve had me in your chair multiple times for 30-45 minutes each time, but you can’t ever remember who I am, it’s rather insulting. I’m a person, not a number. Thank you for the excellent tips.

[@miracurls]

I’m sorry that you were treated so poorly! No person should be ignored or treated so inappropriately! Even if you’re a difficult client, you “kill them with kindness!” Unless you have caused some serious faux pas ! It’s there loss, and reputation at stake, & if they continue to treat clients like this, it will get out, and it will hurt their business in the long run! Sounds to me that you’re the lucky one! Ask around! Word of mouth is the best advertisement! ❤

I wore that angle bob for 15 years it’s so hard to find someone to do it right. I agree completely with all you said. Thank you!

Hairstylist here, doing hair since 1985. I learn so much from you! Don’t change a thing! You’re the bomb!💕

[@helenm6732]

Just like the “wash, set and spray” set will always be around, so will someone who “disagrees”. I’ve always admired haircutters/stylists (I don’t know the preference). They’re creating living art under a time constraint. Who else does that? The more detailed explanations you give the more consumers understand, have their eyes trained and can have something to show a cutter/stylist what they want. Insure your hands, keep cutting and explaining.❤

[@beverlycofer6610]

Justin, I started styling hair in 1978 while still in high school. I always felt that sharing knowledge was the best way to improve my abilities and continue to help improve the industry. However, I am disabled and can not stand to have any of today's stylists touch my hair. They are not being trained how to apply, process or shampoo out the color. I went home one day to discover the color still on my hair and scalp. Some stylists do not understand how to use end papers when wrapping a perm. Also are not familiar with guidelines and sectioning for a brilliant hair cut. In my day my clients and peers always praised my "perfect" haircuts. Whether male or female. So I love seeing your videos and your advice on what to look for in a great cut and style. You are not "handing down commands on how a woman should wear their hair. Only things to consider to improve their own choices for the styles they chose.😊 Much love and blessings to you and your wife.

[@fas10furious]

I think you are fantastic. You take the time to put these videos up for consumption. Those who aren't pleased with them don't have to watch. But I find your observations great, having been a hairdresser in my earlier years. And you are NOT dictating what everyone must do - you are only voicing what you have found to be the best techniques for whatever topic you are talking about. Just ignore the haters. You have enough people who appreciate you.

[@TRB50205]

I’ve been licensed since 1984 and I found this video to be informative. It wasn’t anything I don’t already know, but I can appreciate the time it took for you to make this video and I’ll go one step further..you are obviously a very skilled hairstylist with valuable pointers to offer those who’ll listen. Don’t give these uneducated fools any airtime by reading their comments. Boo yah!!

[@justinhickox]

Thank you! I truly appreciate that! It means a lot coming from a stylist with your experience behind the chair! I appreciate that support.

[@brendathorn315]

I completely agree with your advice Justin. 😉 I recently cut off over half my hair, went back to a bob haircut, and I get tons of compliments from complete strangers wanting to know who cut my hair. My bob does not fall into those "don't do" categories. I'm always amazed at how people are so quick to jump on the "drama bandwagon" when all they have to do is move along, and look at something else. Sometimes the truth can sting a little, but you were polite, cordial, and very respectful in the delivery of your helpful message. Yes, YOU are the expert. Have a blessed day! 👏

[@julieyallop9354]

I’ve been hairdressering for 37 years now. Love my job and watch videos like yours for added inspiration. You’re never too old to learn. Cutting has evolved over the years. Usually for the better. Although in my experience, many people ask for the so called blunt bob, it doesn’t work a lot of the time. But some clients want it. Even though i sometimes plead with them to rethink! Take from the videos what you want lovely people. Always open your mind to learning. Thank you for your videos. ❤

[@mary5827]

Regarding this week's video and last week's comments: Don't change anything!!! I love how you explain things! I'm not a hair professional, but I do have hair, and it's a constant challenge. Your videos make me feel better and give me ideas. I even borrow some of your genius when I'm talking to my hair stylist! As for the indoor/outdoor thing...I have no preference. 😂❤

[@MillieBarnes]

I'm a little confused about all these nasty comments. They're dead wrong. This was a nice presentation and as a woman who wears a bob haircut and has for years I agree with every single point you made here. It's about the Aesthetics and the flow of it and making the hair move correctly and be flattering flattering. Well done.

[@jackiekaasa8059]

I had a nail salon for 20 years before they were so popular. I understand how people try to tell you how to do what you do…lol…I love your input..I just found you ..thank you..

[@justinhickox]

Nice! You TOTALLY get it! I'm all about constructive criticism, but rudeness cracks me up and gets zero respect. Where was your salon?

[@jackiekaasa8059]

@@justinhickox it was in Tri-Cities Washington…eastern Washington..I am retired now…it was called Nail Biz. Back then people told me I could never make it as a “Nail Salon”. Well we were a hit and I had a wonderful career.

[@jackiekaasa8059]

I love hearing what you have to say about our styles. ❤

[@justinhickox]

Thank you! I'm glad I can help!

[@alenagilley4703]

I am Hairstulist from 1990 !!!! And I absolutely appreciate your professionalism !!! You are FANTASTIC !!! Thank you very much for your work to make this Channel !!!! 🙏👌👍

[@marciakean8685]

As someone who is currently wearing a layered bob haircut I appreciate that you go in depth. It is your field of expertise after all. And it's free advice from an expert! Thank you.

[@noway5529]

I have wavy hair so some 0f this stuff in the vido doesn't apply to me but same

[@SpiggyBee113]

Don't listen to the haters Justin, you give great advice. I got the Laifen hairdryer on your suggestion and my hair thanks you for that a million times over. I think it is awesome when you can film in the great outdoors with your lovely wife. Thank you for sharing your advice and expertise, it is muchly ; ) appreciated.

[@marybrennell5537]

I stopped at 12:30 to make this comment. People who disregard your stylist opinion do not understand that this is your craft, your passion, and your expertise. I found your site because I'm a 64 yo woman with long gray hair (3" below shoulder), very thick and can get very 'frizzyful' in the humid Missouri weather. I'm surfing for a cut that I think would work for me. Your advice is very helpful. So stfu to the haters!💕

[@PauliesChannel]

Thank you for giving us the necessary information to be able to make a well informed choice when getting our hair cut and styled. After all, women worldwide spend much time and money in trying to make themselves look good with hairstyles, skin and makeup, and fashion. So of course we want your professional opinion when you are trying to help us look our best. Your channel is much appreciated, thank you again.

[@illia-z1l]

Hi Justin, I love watching your videos. Thank you so much for making them and explaining the why behind your thoughts and statements. Everybody can then make up their own minds on what they like and what their style is. I very much value your professional expertise and opinions. Please keep making these videos so I can learn from you. I appreciate you. All the best, illia 💕

[@sara4tears]

i was lucky enough to have a really cute bixie from a bob being over cut.

[@doribooks]

thank you Justin, you are not arrogant or dictating style. I watched your video because I was looking for help and advise, and I got what I was looking for! For those critics, why are you watching if you don't care for his advise or don't agree with Justin's style sense?

[@stefanimerritt1185]

I've been trying to find the right cut for me, and watching your videos really helped me think about what I need. I haven't got my hair done in a salon in years. Now, at least, I know what I want when I do go. Thank you ❤

[@MsHappyredhead]

Hi! I just found your videos and this particular one will save me a huge hassle next time I get a haircut. I’ve worn a bob cut for years, sometimes short, sometimes long. At 68 years old I have found my favorite haircut is longer front and a little shorter in the back, easy to style and always looks good…to me.🤣🤣🤣 What I learned from you in this video is a few layers on the sides will give my hair an even better shape. Have a fun day and thank you! ☀️🌻

[@karenplummer4811]

I've been a hairdresser since 1974 and totally agree with everything you said. Just found your channel today it's brilliant you made me laugh out loud at the comments section. Please please continue with the excellent work. I'll be back as Arnie would say.😂

[@littlelambs7044]

Just watched this video (first time on your channel for the first time). While I don't have short hair, and it is up to each woman how she wants to wear her hair, I appreciate your professional opinions based on face shapes, and it's very helpful and appreciated!!

[@angelashepherd1371]

Jason, I have learned so much from you since I’ve been watching. Like how to properly dry hair, cutting bangs properly, different hair points, etc. Thanks for sharing your skill on this platform. I enjoy tuning in weekly. It doesn’t mean I agree with everything, but I do appreciate learning from your experience. A BIG thank you!

[@xoXOtique]

Hey, thanks for featuring my photo in the #4 example of what not to do. I hear you about technique and all, but please consider that some of the more extreme versions of these hairstyles are worn by people who are typically eccentric artists or part of underground subculture. Subculture is culture. That said, it was still helpful hearing your explanations. All the best~

[@vw9579]

Thanks Justin. I think my hair stylist must know a thing or two about bobs. She styled my shoulder length hair recently after years of me saying "just a trim please". Since having it cut I've had many compliments . It seems my stylist understands your suggested do's and 'don'ts' in my cut. I had been worried that cutting my hair shorter would not suit my plump aging face as well as does for young or slim, model types but the bob still gives me enough hair framing my face an inch or two past my chin , while being a bit shorter at the nape which works well.

[@noway5529]

I definitely don't like the longer in the front though, just looks super unappealing to me

[@MikaSL53]

I'm fairly new to your channel. I've been trying to learn how to cut my own hair as I'm disabled and it's very difficult for me to get to a salon. My hair seems to grow so fast the older I get. Went from a soft, layered bob just above my shoulders to just above my waist from about when Covid started, to this year. I've been watching videos & cutting away, making sure not to take so much off that a stylist can't "fix" it to my usual bob. Your videos are very informative and I love the detail. I find you likeable and easy to watch. Thank you, and please don't change because of rude people that feel they have the right to pollute the internet with their close minded, opinionated, views.😄

[@jeanninesmith2366]

Thanks for this video and your suggestions. My hair was cut into an all-one-length straight bob at my request. I see now that a layered bob will be more flattering to my oval shaped face, especially because I curl the ends I appreciate your examples in this video because you show different options. Not all of us look good in the same type of bob haircut. You have shown us the changes we can make. If someone doesn’t like the bob haircut at all, they can move on to a different video.

[@juliafay7661]

Jesus man! So sorry you have to deal with that kind of stuff. I’ll never understand the need to hate watch or say such horrible things to another person but I guess some people have issues they don’t want to deal with so they lash out at others. Just keep being you. Your subscriber base is large and we keep coming back for more so you must be doing something right. Much love and thanks for the content!

[@justinhickox]

Thank you so much for this! I truly appreciate that support. I feel so lucky that I have a community here that is so supportive! Thankfully now, after years of doing this, I’m at a point where I can sincerely read these comments and laugh versus take them to heart. I feel worse for the people that write them as their life is clearly far harder than ours.

[@tbascoebuzz4782]

I’m 72 and have worn a Bob for almost 30 years. I’m surprised that I’ve adhered to all your positive points without knowing what was wrong or right. It’s just what I like on me. Short/tight stacked back, slightly longer, layered sides that are ever so slightly bowed in the middle & almost straight on the ends. (Incidentally, the insert photo is a wig, & nowhere similar to my bio style). Thanks for the lesson. Well done.

[@katecalloway5750]

Great advice actually, which I appreciated. You started with disclaimers, so I don’t understand the negative comments. If they don’t appreciate any comments on the hairstyles why do they watch the item ? I found it practical & helpful, thanks

[@mariabutler4156]

Hello, I am new to this channel and so appreciate your expertise & advice. I am approaching sixty, on a fixed budget, yet want to look my best. Professional perspectives, such as yourself, is so incredibly valuable and helps viewers (that want to improve appearance) build confidence. My two-cents...not give too much 'air time' to negative comments in the Q&A. Onward! Thanks much!

[@audreyholmes1631]

I have been a hairdresser for 38 years and love learning from you. When you think you can’t learn anything new it’s time to move on. Thank you.

[@justinhickox]

This is the biggest compliment I could ever want! Thank you! You just made my week!!

[@kitschmygrits4836]

So true!

[@heidimarifilipiak4430]

Thank you! 🙏These tips (addressing these issues about the width when it comes to thin hair) were exactly what I needed! I highly appreciate your videos!

[@lauriew.6458]

I think you are great! I truly wish I lived closer. I would love to get my hair cut by you!

[@justinhickox]

Thank you1 If you liked this video, I think you're going to LOVE next weeks!

[@linda6131]

Justin, isn't your goal to help with PROFESSIONAL tips and guidance. I have never heard you attack anybody's personal style, so why do ignorant rude people think it's ok to personally attack you, calling your beard stupid OMG. I can only assume they aren't able to see they have the problem, not you. Thank you for delivering extensive and free content. Keep doing what you are doing.

[@justinhickox]

Thank you so much for this! I truly appreciate it. I think some people just like to be keyboard warriors and are unhappy in their own life so they want to spread it to others. It’s truly unfortunate. I feel very blessed that I have a Community folks like yourself on my side! Thank you for that.

[@rachelross8200]

I completely agree with your helpful advice! Thank you!

[@dianekurley4963]

Thank you for helping us become more aware of what we want in a personal hairstyle. ❤

[@TheresaEnglish]

Great video! I’d love to see this same video but pertaining to naturally wavy/curly hair.

[@shawne2681]

This video popped up on my feed and i can appreciate it!!! I am a hairstylist and I agree with everything you’re saying. I like the do’s and don’ts. I 100% agree good layering adds value to any haircut especially a bob of any sort. Blunt one layer bobs do not have movement to them
