I totally agree with others who state this is the best hair cutting tutorial seen. Well explained and demonstrated. Thanks so much for helping me figure out how to cut the back.

[@sharonsellers9887]

I'm so excited that I happened upon your at-home hair cutting tutorial! I'm 58 years young and this is the exact style I've been looking for and I've watched a LOT of hair cutting videos. Thank you for doing this video! You are a beautiful young lady and I wish you all the best!

As a hairstylist myself I always cut my own own ....you do a great job explaining how to cut hair ......and I get great tips also lol ...sometimes I still mess it up haha......your better than me lol.

[@stylebyariel]

Oh my gosh girl thanks so much 😭 I'm sure you're not giving yourself enough credit!! We all mess up sometimes haha we're human! 😊

[@karoonboomie2813]

I absolutely love your short Lob, it’s so adorable on you, I dig the layers too. Very, Very Nice!!!! Thx for sharing & describing your hair cutting tips, it will definitely come in handy!!!

[@JBeautyNFashion]

You have inspired me to trim my hair more often at home. Great detailed video! Keep them coming! 🙂

[@stylebyariel]

Aw thank you! Will do!

[@SamtheMan0508]

I watched so many videos about cutting hair at home and your first video was the only one I saved. When I finally got the nerve, I did it and no one could believe I did it myself! I got so many compliments! Now I want to do some layering around my face and yours is the best I've seen for shorter hair, so as soon as I get more courage I'm going to try it.

[@stylebyariel]

Ah that makes me so so happy to hear. Thanks Michele! If you’ve done it before you can do it again! You got this!! ❤️

This is so helpful! My hair is thick and wavy and pro hairstylists never do a very good job on it. I feel confident cutting it myself next time just taking it slow and following your directions. Thank you!!!

LOVED ❤ the other video now you have two??? Whatttt?? 😄 So excited to try!!! This one is equally as awesome as the other! Thank you for providing great content and easy to follow instructions 😘

[@stylebyariel]

Haha aww yay!!! Thanks girl!! So glad you liked it ☺️❤️

[@sheila1013]

Thank you again for this. I too play around with techniques and experiment a little but I think your tutorials are the best and easiest to follow. I see a lot of myself in the way you assess each step. I often talk myself through the stages and find it helps. I am learning more and more, including lifting hair at various angles and how it affects the length etc. Great stuff. My hair has never been better and costs nothing, especially now that I have let my grey hair come through. 🙌❤️.

[@kathysangel56]

Looks great well explained and love it

[@TheSilenThunder]

[@mdhhthh8593]

Thank u for making this. It is exactly the cut and length I want. I haven’t had a cut or trim in a year and a half due to pandemic, been unemployed due to rona, and I am super broke but also needing to clean up my look while trying to job hunt. Can’t afford to pay someone to cut my hair so I’m giving this a try today! I’ve watched a a few dozen diy haircut tutorials and this is the one most closely matching the cut I’m going for and with the clearest instructions.

[@gingermaters4101]

It’s obvious that you are a professional. You’re good about explaining techniques & why its important to do it a certain way. Thx

[@lorrainejoseph2220]

I love how you explain what you do and take your time. It looks nice are you on a journey back to healthy hair. i am growing out my hair. It was cut bad by a other stylist. Before my old stylist came back from israel after 7 years. She cut my hair into a mullet. I liked it but also hated it. The back is so much thinner and longer then my hair on top. But she says we let your hair grow longer and then longer . I want that part cut. But she cut not more then 1 cm. What should i do. And cutting my hair by myself will be a disaster. I just need two inches of and i am good to go for my other 3 cm months. My grows 2 inches in 10 weeks.

I can honestly say this is the best hair cutting tutorial I've seen. Really well explained. My hair is now halfway down my back as the salons have been closed for months. Desperate to get my hair back to the same length as yours. Got the shears, comb and cape. Just need the courage to do it. Subscribed x 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

If spacial awareness isn't your superpower, cover your fingers in micropore tape, that way you don't slice ur fingers. coz hairdressing scissors SOOO sharp.
