I purchased the Masterclass the year before Covid. I have been cutting my own hair ever since. I bought the 360 degree mirror that was recommended and use it when I cut and color. I have been coloring my own hair for at least 20 years, but I learned some excellent tips in the class.

[@justinhickox]

Hey Karen! That’s awesome! Thanks for trusting me! Im SO glad to hear you’re loving the course!!!

[@cathierobb8712]

Can I use that slant cutting from the long bang to the bottom

[@karenkoss5664]

@cathierobb8712 that would be a @JustinHickox question. My guess is yes just be careful not to cut too far back.

I love that you’re teaching people how to give themselves some fresh looks at home. I figured out how to do this myself about 9 years ago, and it is easy. I watched how my hair stylist did my hair each time. She moved away, and I wasn’t stuck. 😃 This ability to do my own hair saves me so much on haircuts. 🤙🏽

Just bought the course and I am SO EXCITED that you offer this!! I became my own hair person during Covid and like many of us...ruined my hair by making every mistake possible and having zero clue what I was doing. Then my hair was falling out due to a medication I took for a year. Now...I am on the other side of that hellish nightmare and my hair is growing back. My hair journey will be simply growing it out and trimming it myself this year, allowing time to do the rest. I already feel relief from watching the first intro video. It will help confirm some of the stuff I learned the hard way. Thank you so much for being here. Happy 2024.

I would love to see you cut thin on top curly hair, for over age 50. So far everyone that has cut my hair, cut it wet. I ask if they know how to cut curly hair, and they say yes. I end up with shorter hair in the front, and much longer in the back because my side curl more. Love your videos. Thank you. Wish your shop was closer to me. I am about 2 hours south.

[@worldadventuretravel]

This is an overall confidence-builder in that the video is not shot by the person cutting their hair, but of the person cutting their hair, and the specific instructions are great. But I wish the person that demonstrated did not have such short, layered hair already. I really needed to see it done with long hair that has the layers all grown out to see how to cut a clean line when there is no visual from other layers to guide you.

Hi Justin! Love this tutorial, I have been cutting my own hair for years because it's long, curly, voluminous but thin and, at several hair salons, despite asking to just layer it, they always cut my length a lot. Now I'm the one who cuts the ends every now and then and layered. I took a look at your videos, I've seen some, but I don't see much about curly hair... Do you think it's an unflattering hair type? You really don't see many celebrities or high society people with curly hair. What do you think?

[@brenda5511]

Susana, just do you! I started embracing my curly hair a few years ago, and it’s ME. I don’t want to look like a celebrity or someone I’m not.

Just watch a different channel. I've been cutting my curly hair for years, and this video might help somebody, but honestly it is a joke to me. Starting right away with "flat iron it". I laughed, bc I haven't used heat on my hair or owned a flat iron in over a decade.

[@justinhickox]

Many times, when people can't find a stylist they love, they still want a cut they like. In those cases, they deserve to have a tool to achieve that for themselves. The idea that at home tutorials somehow discount salons is a lack mindset view of the landscape. I've taught clients my entire career, how to cut their bangs at home so they didn't have to make a special trip to me for it. I still had clients....and they still needed bang trims at times. It'a a bit like microwave meals. Just because people have the ability to cook easy meals at home doesn't stop them from going out to eat. It may entice some people to eat out less but it's still an entirely different experience. I also don't feel that cooking at home discounts the skills of a good chef. I would argue it gives people a better respect for how hard it is to be really good at it. I think, in many cases (I'm not talking about you since I have no idea how you approach social media), stylists saw a landscape that changed through Covid but didn't change their business to adjust for it. I actually attribute some of this to companies that dove into education for stylists during Covid, but only taught them more cutting/coloring skills instead of how to adjust their social media to grow a business when they COULDN'T actually cut or color clients. It truly frustrated the crap out of me that theses large companies wouldn't help stylist learn to earn money when they couldn't get behind the chair because it didn't help sell the companies products. I still see stylists being taught (and doing) the same old thing with social, posting a back of the head photo on Instagram or Tik Tok of their recent work OR letting people know how many openings they have that week etc. That may have worked a few years ago but now, they just get lost in the crowd. Everyone does that so all the feeds look the same and new clients can't tell the difference. Covid brought in a culture of education for everyone. I would love to see stylists spend less time showing their work (which is still important and valid) and more time educating clients on the problems the client is facing and how to help them solve those problems. After the salons were re opened (and I had taught many of my clients to do their own hair) I found that not only was I able to "share all my secrets online", it was the act of sharing those secrets that grew an audience and had me booked solid for a year with a waiting list, and new clients flying from all over the states for appointments. That is NOT a humble brag (trust me, I'm VERY aware there are SO many extremely talented stylists out there, many have more talent than I will ever have), it's simply to express the importance of using social to add value vs simply sharing a portfolio. Solve peoples problems and you become the authority.

Maybe too young to understand people which is a huge part of customer service, or perhaps just angry at the world but your words are 100%fact.

When coloring or bleaching your Hair @ keep fabulous and healthy you must use oval Plex in your bleach or your colors. You will be amazed how your hair becomes healthy when you condition use cool or Warm water only and don’t strip all the conditioner off your hair. You don’t necessarily need to condition your scalp every time. Also, don’t shampoo every day and don’t use Violet shampoo each and every time but you can condition often without shampooing. Hope this helps.

[@MusicInMotion_67]

Let's say someone parted their hair straight down the middle front to back, pulled one entire side, including the hair from the back of it and done this than done the other side the same. a) would this put layers all through including the back? b) how would the back turn out? Would it be even and would the ends be super thin and wispy? c) would the back be in a "v" or "u" angle, or would it be straight across in the back?
