I see so many comments here saying it already, but I have to say it again, you are a wonderful teacher! Incredibly detailed and thorough, yet simply stated and to the point, plenty of repetition without feeling repetitive, it's so easy to follow and understand what you're demonstrating. That gift is not to be underestimated! Thank you for sharing it with us!

[@fluffypink6217]

I just want to say thank you. I restyle old wigs into newer styles. Specifically Irish dance wigs. I am currently working on a wig for a cancer patient. I needed to learn how to cut layers. I watched your video until I memorized it. Then I watched it some more! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you! I My layers are stunning. Thank you from my heart.

[@reneekh3599]

Many of us stay blunt, even though we need layers, because we can't find a stylist who knows a variety of layering techniques & what to apply to who 🙄

[@samvillahair]

[@alexvillafranco9030]

I’ll keep this in mind on my hair journey

[@celesteb3380]

Fantastic video showing me the technicals of a true layered bob. My salon overbooks and then when I ask for more layering it is done in 3 minutes. Now I can do my own to my taste. I cut my own hair during the pandemic lockdown and did a good job. After watching this video I am now confident enough to cut my own hair and put in the feathering/layering myself. Thank you so much for this video. You are truly appreciated because are a true stylist and excellent teacher. ❤ from Montreal, Canada

[@elenaadorno76]

I absolutely love your video’s! Your explanations are great & easy to follow & it makes sense. You’r a fantastic Teacher!

[@taraduddy7687]

I love the comb trick, laying the spine of the comb over the parting and combing straight up, that way you aren't overdirecting. I agree that the inconsistencies are caused by the comb as well. Thanks for the great video!

[@Auburnyf]

Hello Sam, I went to Cosmo school with you ... I run across your products at beauty supply and now ran across this vid. So impressive and I congratulate you for all you've achieved. You are super talented, and were always ala Mr. Precision cutter I well remember. Your teaching in this video is precise and thorough. Kudos. Be well, Gwenn Jones.

"Support you from behind-the-chair." Aw, that's clever. Skilled teacher and great attention to detail. 😊 Suggestion: before and after photos (or video clips) at end and in the thumbnail would be powerful!

[@loriepyper1033]

Thanks again Sam!!!

[@mahmutyavuz2123]

your a legend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@bigwhiteheron]

It's hard to see the shapes of the layering because of the dark hair coloring and shots not always up close.

[@bakkiyalakshmibalakrishnan6670]

I've been watching your videos and you are explaining each technique and nuances excellent. Should this "cutting layers technique be applied only for classic Bob or can be followed for all short hair long hair layering pl? Thank you. -BuzzyBee

[@housejunky777]

Beautiful cut! Can you do this technique on an a line Bob grow out sitting at the shoulders ( hence to preserve length and continue growing)?

Such a great teacher, very detailed. Thank you 😊

Very good

[@Antonio-sr8po]

You are the best !!!

[@Iaminfinite18]

I am unclear what you used for the first guide. Is it the length of the bottom part?

[@parlorbeautysquad]

I am curious about when you say "ignore the disconnection" is that because of the clipped out reserved hair or is it from a previous unrelated cut?

[@artvandelay6186]

I was wondering the same thing

[@sheilamullen2861]

Thanks Sam

[@janismccaghren9581]

What about the line at the nape?

Hola Sam saludos desde México

[@anaf4414]

I've asked this to my hairdresser today and she wasn't able to do it. It's pissing me off. I wish I could do this to myself

[@Andrews2490]

Were the guides cut into the hair before you started layering? Oh, never mind i see you used the bottom edge of the horse shoe as the guide.

[@johnroekoek12345]

Even the hair is isolated these days.

[@amandalee1242]

LMAO 😂

[@mahmutyavuz2123]

when is the next live broadcast.. answer me pls

[@michekids]

Beautiful

[@elenataylor4611]

I've payed $60 for layered bob and my hair looks so horrible even after recut the next day.

No way to cut in back of head yourself.
