How to Cut and Style a Shag with Curtain Fringe | Easy Tutorial

[@sunnygirl9691]

You did such a good job, but she looked totally ungrateful the entire time.

[@jakethompsonhair]

I felt the same way Sunny! Just a blank stare the whole time! lol Thank you!

That is so funny. Made me chuckle so much that my dogs were looking at me funny. Thanks for the humorous comment, super loved it. And so did she.

I have been through so many stylists that cannot grasp what I ask for. It's so frustrating. I'm a dog stylist for 36 yrs and I understand how hair flows. If I could reach around my head I would cut my own hair. I can't even get stylists to look at photos to help explain the look I'm looking for. I have the perfect texture and thickness for this cut. I may try the ponytail shag cut and do it myself. Thanks for listening to my vents ;)

If you're ever in Medford oregon look me up at Urban Edge salon 😊

Show your hairdresser the video, make an appointment and be patient.

[@breetomlinson5904]

oh my god. This is the perfect shag cut. I've been researching forever for something not as CHOPPY as the ones I've seen. When I first fell in love with the cut, it was just like this.

[@RebeleneM]

I've been a hairdresser for many years, and have cut lots of shags! I love watching videos like yours because I always learn something new 😊 I think it's SO important for stylists to continue to learn & grow. Our craft is ever changing and we need to stay up with the changes through constant education 💯 Thanks for making these videos!

[@heatherg2083]

Same here since mid 70s.....and the added customising and modernising is what makes it a today cut!

Hey Rebelene, thanks so much for the love! I appreciate you watching. Plus I completely agree with you about continuing education.

[@jakethompsonhair]

Love it Heather!

[@vden02]

I knew we would be seeing the cool early 80s rock looks again. 37 years in the industry and this is one of the most powerful feminine styles for a woman. It exudes strength and sensuality.

[@jakethompsonhair]

Absolutely V Den! I couldn't agree more! Love the easy of these styles, plus it has such a timeless feel.

I have watched so many shag cuts and this one is perfection! I feel like a shag can turn into a mullet so quickly and you easily showed how to keep it simple :)

That is a excellent haircut that's what I've been trying to get people to do with my hair I have long hair just like that and I love that style

[@melissamontgomery3399]

WOW !!! I just tried the bang portion on my bangs and they have NEVER looked BETTER !!! ( Unfortunately, my hair is much thinner, and head shape is different, so mine aren't as thick as your example ) , but nonetheless, I am sooooo grateful for this fantastic demonstration ! You are so talented and an EXCELLENT instructor - TY so much !

[@ninal6033]

I love this! Your angles and the editing and the way you guide me through the lesson, very professional!! and super easy to follow!!!

Nice, good luck and hope it looks amazing on you when done!

[@riaglo2472]

Me too

[@alegrisfelice]

Omg, I just cut my bangs and they turned out amazing!! I took my time and did a bit at a time, so worth it. Thank you for your video and your clear explanations, so easy to follow. I watched several videos and decided to follow your technique because it was the easiest. Thank you, thank you!!! Now if I could just gather the courage to cut the rest of my hair, that would be great too. I have long wavy hair and I’m terrified to mess up something in the back that I can’t see, lol.

[@jakethompsonhair]

You're so welcome alegrisfelice! Glad my techniques worked out for you and your hair! Thanks for checking out my videos:)

I'm sure it would look amazing on you, not sure what your face shape is like but people are usually attracted to what would look good on them. "usually" :)

[@linziRyan1965]

Me toooooo! I already basically have one but I need a professional re touch

[@pluto8822]

I asked for this and just didn’t get it so now I’m tempted to try myself...

[@shay7527]

omg same

[@dumdum7749]

SAME we should do it

[@AshlyMariKlli]

Have any of you tired it? 😃

[@dumdum7749]

​@@AshlyMariKlli i kinda did the bangs impulsively while having a mental breakdown yesterday loll. but im not maddd abt itt

[@AshlyMariKlli]

@@dumdum7749 hey that’s awesome! I hope you’re feeling better, I am all too familiar with that feeling & I know that sucks. I honestly just love bangs, I have had them on and off my whole life, and then when I found the best hair dresser I’ve ever had back in 2016 I trusted her to do the bangs, and she actually gave me a shag haircut with curtain bangs from what I told/described to her I wanted and it was awesome. I maintained that with her for years, then like 10 weeks after a cut I was like I need a bang trim I can’t see 😆- she was out of town and I was like well how hard is a bang trim it’s just what I have, but shorter - well a guy literally cut my bangs straight across, didn’t point cut and all of the hair I had framing my face was now a THICK A$$ bang. That was in 2019 and now my hair is finally manageable! I was so embarrassed to tell her I went to another guy! She softened them up and taught me how to do a trim (she was just short of an hour drive) so she knew I was committed to just seeing her. Then enter the pandemic - so now that I’m confident with the bang trim I really want to go for the full shag cut on myself. If you read that journey thanks LOL hair is a big deal to me. Have you colored your own hair?

[@litlisa2001]

I love it. So much easier to have each side the same length. I’ve been cutting my own hair since1980. Laying was fading out and very few folks knew how to do the cut. I keep my front hair layered and my back is long to my mid back.

[@litlisa2001]

I get the best of both worlds. Long hair and short hair. Living in the jet stream in Cheyenne, we have a lot of windy days. On those days, I wear my in a ponytail, folded over ponytail, or bun.

[@nikisix3375]

This is such an amazingly executed educational video. As a barber I see a lot of videos on youtube or even insta ( especially for a shag or mullet) that you can tell the stylist doesn't have a routine for cutting and just fumbled around and ended up with a resemblance of whatever cut it may be and thought "that kinda worked" then put up a how to video, where as its obvious you actually work in a salon and know how to properly do the haircut and have clean and confident sections and know exactly how the cut is gona turn out!! That really makes me happy its a one time watch and a competent stylist can easily now perform the cut, knowing the exact way to cut each section..really a proper educator and thats really refreshing/exciting to see. Definitely gonna subscribe! 🙌

[@jakethompsonhair]

Honestly Nicole, THANK YOU for taking the time to give me this detailed message. I appreciate your perspective & honesty! I also wanted to thank you for watching my video. Also I am a hairdresser in the salon 4 days a week and l teach what I do on a daily basis. Glad you could see that. So from the bottom of my heart, Thank you!

[@heatherfadden7278]

Old school stylist here. Everything old is new again!! Old fashioned face framing. I believe Paul mcgregor created it for Jane Fonda ! To my knowledge it became popular because it was her that was the first well known person to have it , doesn’t mean someone else didn’t have it. And the term shag i think he coined because of the styles unkempt appearance. At the end of the day it’s just a layered cut. A good one but just layers. Great styles never go away !! Love the video !!

The angle of the round brush for styling was a fantastic tip! Thank you for this tutorial
