How to Create a Modern Shag Haircut

[@gdhhayes2129]

Fantastic tutorial!. Had I received this kind of training 25 years ago, the confidence I needed would have been instilled so as to complete school and get licensed, instead of dropping out after 1100 hours, because the mindset given was we would learn once we were in a salon; as a mother of young kids I didn't have the time or money to sacrifice only to flop once I hit the salon. There was no internet and KZbin back then, so my only source for training was school, and where I was properly detailed training simply wasn't availed to students. Through these training videos I've gained understanding that has reignited my passion for hair. So, thank you for these wonderful training videos. I hope younger people recognize how fortunate they are to have these resources.

Fascinating to see how much geometry and engineering goes into a well-planned haircut.

[@rsteph8105]

i m a french hair stylist and this is the best shag haircut that i never see in you tube ! thank you Sam Villa your technique become my technique for this cut . I LOVE THIS CUT!!

[@rain3743]

Agreed.

[@plumshoejeff]

Totally agree!! Most hairdressers mindset it to cut from top to bottom . I LOVE this method because it stimulates the mind and starts making you “think” . Loved this tutorial Sam !! Thanks you !

[@piagracietesilva3433]

hi there, can you cut my hair? where in france do you work?

[@LulyTubee]

I'm not a hair stylist, but I love me some Sam Villa. So talented and great teacher. God bless you. 😘❣🍒

This is the haircut I’ve been asking for in every salon I try-and no one knows how to do it correctly. The last time I tried, I said, “I want to look like Linda Ronstadt” and the stylist said, “Who’s that?” 😭😭😭 Thanks for this tutorial. Sam. Maybe I can show it to a stylist so they can cut my hair like this!

[@terihavlik4628]

I’m right with you on this!

[@mariacromero]

Teri Havlik I feel so old. How do people not know who Linda Ronstadt is?!

[@mirzanadiafateema7107]

"Who's that? 😅" I am really sorry for you. I am with you dear. I am dying to do my diy cut now.

[@frannyp.7325]

My gawd they don't know Linda Ronstadt?! She's a rock legend for the love of gawd! And they don't know her?!

[@mirzanadiafateema7107]

Dude... I have never EVER seen a video that makes more sense than this. He really knows how to explain things!! 🙌 good job 👏

[@samvillahair]

Wow, thanks!

[@NatNat4Tally]

Absolutely love Sam, he's the best teacher. He intuitively knows the question's us stylist's would ask (why) and answers them. He makes you want to immediately jump right in and try it with confidence.

[@tallisinwonderland4724]

I think this is a really flattering haircut for most face shapes, it’s lovely and soft with movement.

[@smichael01810]

I just LOVE this approach to a shag. Well done, Sam Villa. You are the man when it comes to teaching all forms of hair design. Thank you for all you do for us.

[@AvonandUs]

Im glad i stumbled upon this ONE..i ENJOY the elevation in older thinning haired clientele..fullness at eyes and. Hair line..

[@samvillahair]

Thanks for sharing!

[@Maryam-wy1hm]

Wow , that was the most beautiful hair cut I have ever seen , Real professional artist you are. Thank you for this fab revers graduation tutorial hair cut. All the best.

[@Junie115]

I watched this video and gave myself this haircut as I watched it again to guide me through. It's obviously not perfect, but my last stylist really blocked off the crown section of my hair and it looked awful! I did this entire cut and holy buckets, my hair looks amazing, truly its like the previous mistake never happened! Thank you for this wonderful video!!

[@angelapalenchuk8456]

Such an amazing Educator! If only we had Sam Villa as our Educator when we went to hair school, the difference it would have made! This kind of education is priceless.

[@310fanatic]

Thank you! I have worn a shag for 10 years as in my profile pic here . I can’t get away from it because I’m complemented on it at least once a day! Shags are very pretty and different. Thanks Sam, my hair stylist is losing the cut these days and I’ll show her this video to help get my cut back on track ! Your cut is the cut I had in the beginning but straightened. I LOVE it!

[@ellenparashis2487]

Love your approach With this You have done a great job adding a modern twist I have been a stylist for 45 years I'm grateful to always remain teachable I will be following you and look forward to your creative ideas Ellen P

[@denissegoatcher-avila3113]

Gentle, kind, and effective Teacher, Mr. Sam Villa, ladies & gentlemen! A gem! Such great demonstrations & modeling. Such a timeless, yet edgy haircut that can be varied slightly to adjust to different tastes, yet gives off the same magic! Bravo! Encore! 😍

[@sheila1013]

Excellent tutorial and easy to understand. An artist at work👌

[@kimmy0868]

My mind is BLOWN! not the reverse graduation on the sides but the horseshoe on top!! I can see the texture and lift that it gives and it’s beautiful. However, this haircut should never ever be done on a client with fine straight hair, ever. Love it and hope someday I can find the right client for this cut, Thank You for opening my mind 😎

my hairdresser told me the shag is back. I remember and had the original shag. My hairdresser is in her 20's. I am in my 60'a. I am getting a shag again before I leave this earth! I don't care if I look like "old face young hair". LOL.

[@lolaottinger3038]

I wore a shag in the 70’s, didn’t really love it because my hair was straight as a board and it required soooo much work, then got it again in the late 90’s and used a curling iron, I loved it. Now that I’m older than dirt, my hair has developed some curl, but at 79 and looking everyday of 79: I think I’m too old for it, and again, I don’t want to spend a half hour fixing my hair. What I do now is after washing my hair and let it air dry almost completely, I pin curl it all over my head and when I brush it out I can do several styles with it. 🤗

[@samvillahair]

love this! ♥

[@MesaMynx]

I wish there was someone in New Mexico near ABQ that was trained in your method of cutting. This style would work beautifully on my thick, course, wavy hair so well.

I used to have the exact haircut for many years when I was living in my country now 9 years later I am still trying to have it done here in Dublin-Ireland they simply will refuse to do it. I actually have given up trying to Explain myself to several hairstylists from the junior to the most experienced stylist it is very frustrating generally I ended up looking like if my hair was cut with an 🪓 axe literally 2 layers one far far away from the other one lol I’m soo desperate to have it that I’m considering cutting my own hair! Thank you for this exceptional tutorial!

Sorry you are not getting the haircut you want! I’m sure it’s very frustrating.
