Emo or Scene Haircut - How to Cut Short Layers - TheSalonGuy

In this video, I show a quick technique on how to achieve short laters on top but keeping the length on the back & sides. A lot of me or scene haircuts & hairstyles are like this. Please be careful and do NOT cut your fingers. Use a ponytail holder if possible.

I have been trying to get a shag from professional stylists for years, but for some reason they can't frigging do it and I always walk out with something else (that is usually way shorter than I'd wanted). Thank you for this video. I'll definitely try it.

[@kareng1765]

I had the same problem in the 70's - just could'nt get the shag I wanted.

+TheSalonGuy you don't really cut the hair correctly where emo hair is cut up in three sections 1. The fan out 2. the wave/bangs 3.just the ready of your hair

[@devilsdaughter3877]

I meant rest of your hair

[@diananavickas1689]

This is how I learned one of my first haircuts (the shag) when I was in beauty school in the early seventies, but we just weren't sure how to finish it! How funny how everything in hair (and fashion, for that matter) just comes around and goes around. This was a great tutorial tho!!... Thanks! :0

[@TheSalonGuy]

Thx so much

[@ivorwm2291]

It's 2018 and I'm 63. I've finally let my hair grow into a shoulder length. I think this is how I'm going to cut it. Thank you for the tutorials. I used to groom dogs. LOL. Good luck and best wishes for continuing success

[@sweetnsassy4329]

I learned in a similar fashion by making the first cut at the top of the head and just bringing all the rest of the hair up to the length of the first cut.

[@d1i2a3n4n5e6]

[@pauladavis115]

I was in college with my thick curly hair and I looked a fright. I knew a hairdresser socially. I walked past his shop and he saw me and dragged me in to his chair for a cut. Best hair style I ever had. Everyone who knows how to do this has retired or died. When I was younger I could do it myself.

[@barbbethesunshine8632]

You are so right...they don't get it ( I'm 55) Thank you for giving us a true gift!! I'm off to do this cut on myself!

Glad to congratulate you on 4 years of making tutorials and helping me and other people finally get the hair that we always wanted now I have another request its about pop punk band As It Is vocalist Patty Walters now it looks like he has an undercut but with the hair going to the front and with bangs, its unique and its sick and I would like to try this out cus I'll be going to prom in a few days and would like to try a new hair due, anyways thanks man again congratulations and have a good one peace ✌

Thx dude

[@donnaarmstrong1193]

Thank you so much! I've been just pulling my fine, straight hair back into a ponytail or bun for years and I'm sick of it. Then I searched "layered bob salonguy" and this was one of the many videos you've uploaded. I decided to give it a try and it came out perfectly but also released my hair to the waves I'd forgotten I had. I love it!

[@carmenchards]

Thank you so much!! During this quarantine I needed a haircut badly to chop off my damaged bleached hair. I am in love with my hair!!

[@aprilwilcher3311]

Carmen What is it about this quarantine that makes us want to do stuff to our hair😂. I cut my bangs the other day. Now I’m going to do this! If I keep this up I won’t have any hair left 😱. Stay safe Carmen.

[@angelrose9117]

My second time cutting my hair using this method. I went shorter this time, as I cut less off the first time just incase. Wicked stuff. Thanks again. My only question would be how far back is the positioning of this meant to be on the head, as it's a little hard to tell front on but hopefully I got it right.

[@cheyennesromero2396]

You are such a genius you're literally the only KZbinr that does haircuts for pretty much every look I'm looking for please keep doing more videos especially on crazy texture and layers you really help us beginners!

[@Smiling0018]

I want to do this but I’m nervous that my parents will get mad at me, because I cut some of my hair already and they got somewhat mad and told me not to do it again, I really want this haircut, may someone please give my advice on how to go on abt this! Any advice will be appreciated

+TheSalonGuy.........Thank you! I visited my parents today, and I told her about your video. I showed her my new cut that I did on myself. She said to me "That's is the best haircut I have ever seen on you!" (And I usually go to get my hair cut by stylists). I told her to watch your video later. You are a great teacher......real, approachable, down to earth. Everybody needs every penny these days, and this will save me so much! Plus, I look forward to when I give myself another haircut. LOL. From now on, I won't give a splitend a chance!!!!!!!! Hahaha. Thanks again! :)

[@carol7365]

I agree Angela. I'm going to try it also. The last few haircuts I PAID for were awful. So I was out the money and had to put up with a terrible haircut. Thanks for giving me the courage to try this myself!

[@imprinceshandy]

can you post a video tutorial about short sides and back but long hair on bangs and top.

[@johniautumn6847]

Tease it, straighten it, and dye it to make this look emo. It's just a shag cut with a punk looking twist to make it emo.

[@seapearltoo1]

Yes...it's the basic shape that is the foundation of an "emo/scene" hairstyle. i appreciate this because other tuts i found only showed how to do a trim on an already cut foundation and since i am not starting from that point, i needed to know how to cut it initially. Thanx Salon Guy! :D

Awesome, my sister is a hair stylist in n.j and would go to hair show's in n.y all the time, she paid a couple hundred dollars for one show she said lasted maybe a half an hour, and this was what they showed, one of the most simplest styles to do, but one of the most used. Love it

the result is so amazing ..but my question is,does this work with long hair with undercut ..my hair is very long but the problem its undercut..

[@royalpain777]

Duee I cant believe I found this comment. My side on both sides of my head are growing out and I cant do anything with my hair except leave it down covering my mess.. I'm thinking of doing this cause it's kind of close to what I got going on now...

[@shannonhitt3226]

with the hair that falls down when you pull it up; If I were to bring a section down with the hair that fell, do you think it would blend after I cut with this technique? I hope I'm making sense.

[@TheSalonGuy]

Yes and you can always bring the pieces up that fell to make sure or blend just over direct so you don't cut the length

[@karenskloset898]

I think you're techniques are very harsh on the hair when your cutting like that on dry hair your not prepping it your not doing cutting correctly. You should check out free salon education I think his name is Rick Beck...

[@Eclecticajewels]

I just did this (in a minimal way - I tested the technique first by only cutting a small amount of the ponytail - I raised my hand holding the ponytail so only a few inches would be cut) and IT WORKED GREAT!!! My only questions are these; 1) if I don’t want the overall length to be as short as your demonstration.....HOW Can I do it again but not cut as much ? 2) my hairdresser gave me the layered bangs I’d asked for but her “BANGS” go as far down as my CHIN!!!!! How she thought I meant “BANGS” which I said I wanted LAYERED to mean “down to my CHIN” I have no idea?!?!? (Note: my hair is just about shoulder length or about an inch below) How does a hairdresser think I wanted my “bangs” on shoulder length hair to be at my CHIN?? Lol, I don’t have an ostrich sized NECK! So, how do I trim my bangs so they’re at about the length to around the middle to tip of my nose??

[@TheSalonGuy]

Just cut them but not as short and do it on dry hair.

[@Eclecticajewels]

TheSalonGuy I followed your demo from this video with my bangs and the length part w/your ponytail cut/trim section (for my length and shoulders angling) and I’m 110% PLEASED with the results!!!! 👍👍 It’s the FIRST time I’ve EVER been so bold and brave where my hair is concerned, actually cutting it this much myself and I just want to thank you SO MUCH!!! I really couldn’t be HAPPIER! 😁 Your videos are GREAT and so helpful. Once again, TY for taking the time & effort and for also sharing your talent with all of us😁😁👏👏👏👏👏

[@squigwart]

I just did this tutorial like 30 mins ago and it turned out great!! XD My hair was about the length of the mannequins maybe a little shorter. I used regular scissors and only did the stump part. Ill prob trim my bangs tomorrow though. And I made the stump bigger because I didnt want my hair (bangs in particular) to be that short in some places. This worked really well and I will def do this again. P.S. this was my first time ever cutting my hair. If anybody has questions about it id love to answer

[@UrMom-cg9pe]

Is the ponytail supposed to be like on top of your head, or let it sit a little back

[@squigwart]

@@UrMom-cg9pe like on top of your head kinda like where that bump is on a baseball hat or where you let your headphones rest

[@amberkoon2919]

Ugh so it's supposed to be all of your hair in your hand though right? The hair in the back in the video is just wouldnt stay in your hand at the top of the head right?

[@squigwart]

@@amberkoon2919 not sure i get quite wat ur asking, but not all of the hair on the back of my head fit in my hand at the top of my head. If thats wat ur asking. Just make sure u dont use a razor if u decide to shape it- or atleast use a very sharp one, cuz i gave myself really bad split ends and ended up shaving my head a few weeks ago to get rid of them.

[@BarbaraLovesDogs]

What haircut would you do to make rather thin hair look as thick as possible?

[@amara3898]

I wanna know, too!

[@stephaniesenpia1624]

Any haircut with layers either way no matter how thin your hair is it will layer

[@BarbaraLovesDogs]

Miku Hatsune hmm I don't think so. Layers always make the hair look thinner. The haircut shown in the video does make the hair look thin and choppy as well. It's cool if that's what you're going for, it usually just doesn't look good on thin hair.
