How to Layer Your Own Hair at Home - TheSalonGuy

[@coasterkat4432]

I have only had 2 professional stylists who could actually cut layers properly. Having a license doesn’t necessarily mean they can cut hair so thank you for sharing this information. I get so tired of spending a LOT of money on crappy haircuts & ending up having to fix it at home.

[@ooohlaa13]

oh this is so true which is why I am now doing my own grey roots and my own haircuts. Luckily we live in a very forgiving "Anything Goes" era, where people deliberately cut asymmetry and shaggy, etc. I have almost never had anyone cut my neck hair the way I wanted so this is why I finally decided. Layers I am really scared of so I am going about that a few at a time. Also I cut my hair every few days here and there to make it better and better. Olaplex system really helps to keep my lavender grey hair looking healthy and I am always surprised to get compliments all the time from all kinds of surprising varieties of people.

[@michemash8860]

Truly, the license is 90% about not spreading infectious disease among humans. There is a practical method segment to it but it’s really outdated (speaking to MA state.) it’s mainly for the purposes of determining motor functions. The only way to know the modernness of hairdresser technique other than trial is to know where they had formal training. Not all schools are created equal.

[@lisad1532]

The town in which I live I fear allowing anyone to touch my hair. I will attempt this as I cut my husband's hair and he thinks I have become better than any barber around here...wish me the best!!

[@sthom4bad]

Truest thing ever written. I have had about three good hair cuts in my life. Sometimes the stylists themselves can't replicate what they did. Rest were meh to awful. May as well screw it up myself than pay someone else to screw it up.

Since I have a ton of hair (literally every hairdresser has said, "I had no idea you had so much hair ") mistakes are par for the course. I'm a jewelry maker, and pretty dexterous, so I really can't do worse than that one lady at supercuts who left me looking butch when I showed her a picture of Jennifer Aniston's hair and said "Do that".

@Maddie S - I found Steven's channel in Fall 2018, after ANOTHER horrible haircut... I have also a lot of wavy, heavy hair. I need a symmetric layered cut, otherwise it is never looking good. I am now 4 1/2 years in to cutting my own hair after Steven's various videos and instructions about (symmetric) layered haircuts. Sometimes pretty short, sometimes a bit longer, and I can proudly say that I have never gotten so many compliments from women AND men about my "absolutely gorgeous" haircut/s. And questions who cuts my hair, they want to go there too. LOL. I am using my big camera tripod, where I clamp a mirror on. I look into it, and I see the back of my head in the big bathroom mirror. Have some clips and a good haircutting scissors. Takes me between 30 and 45 minutes, depending on how long I did not cut, on average I cut every 2 months. And once in a while I watch again some of my fave Steven's videos which taught me so much.

@@streetofdreams4538 what's gonna happen is you will probably end up with very marked layers that may make your hair appear thicker on top than the bottom, it may puff up adding a lot of volume to your head. It also depends on your hair texture. If you're hair is wavy to curly, you will probably end up with an 80s shag. If it is straight, the cut will probably be more noticable if there are uneven parts, you will look like a chopped Barbie doll.

[@carolweaver3269]

They keep getting worse and worse. Part of the reason is they have to now wash the chairs because of COVID after each person. You must pay for every single thing that is used on your hair or anything to do with you So cleaning the chair and all detergents and lotions or styling gels etc you will be charged heavily. People who are capable of wearing a straight cut along the bottom of their hair ( especially is long) will just do it at home. They will not need to frame their face or try to layer. So it is easy to let it just hang straight and cut. Some can wear that style very nicely, some cannot. Those who can are very lucky with prices high and COVID etc. They have now learned to do it for themselves and others and save money I guess?

I cut my own hair all the time, but always made mistakes. I'm not a hairstylist. This tutorial gave me perfect layers and I'm psyched!!! Now I can perfect my haircuts!!! Thank you!!!

[@hillasarig-bahat8746]

Thank you very much for sharing your professional knowledge with us. It took me over an hour to cut my daughter's hair by your instructions, and the result is just fantastic! This is our third time and it's an excellent experience for both of us- sending our gratitude!

[@Thefamilyjules710]

I wish I just could pop my head off like that mannequin 😭😂

[@lorimiller4301]

I often wish I could take my hair off especially at night. I have enough hair for 3 so it gets a bit much at times. It'd be nice to take my eyes out and let them have a soak in some cool cucumber water too.

[@chloewright1]

These comments are brilliant! 🤣

[@quietgiant474]

You can, but only once.

[@susanisrael9779]

Omg I’m dying at your comment 😂

[@whateva0072]

You are awesome!! I just had a bad haircut from a so-called salon professional & I felt like crying! Followed your method & voila it looks a 100 times better than that "professional" gave me. Money wasted but hair saved!

[@oneminuteofmyday]

Thank you for fixing my head. I had followed a tutorial by someone else and my hair looked horrible. You gave such clear guidance that I was able to figure out how to repair it without shaving it all off.

[@dianamodeanalini]

Thank you! Excellent tutorial for those of us who would very willingly pay big bucks for a flattering style but find it harder and harder to find a stylist with your expertise.

[@catherineblackburn1066]

l have been waiting a lifetime to find a fantastic hair stylist, l have finally found you, thank you so much❤️kate

[@joyceswart2365]

Thank you so much for teaching so that amateurs can understand and confidently follow. I have always cut my own hair from teenage and have learned by trial and error. After your tutorials I know there'll be less "error". Love your talking one through all the way, and love your sincere presentation with bits of humour coming through. Please continue!

[@lisanow6856]

Using your video, my husband cut my hair today, my first haircut in a year. It looks great! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise and knowledge during these difficult times. 💗

[@pamelahicks4429]

I appreciate your direct, basic approach. Recent new stylist professes her talent as “rocket science”. She had no idea that is my profession! Will seek another stylist with your approach. Many thanks.

[@traciesammut1882]

This was EXTREMELY HELPFUL thank you for showing me how to do layers at home. The more tutorials I take would make me a better hairdresser. I am a visual person and enjoy watching you and your training. I am a trained salon assistant completing my pre apprenticeship course and itching to start my Certificate 3 Hairdressing at TAFE NSW

[@Torgaddon]

This video is great. I've watched a couple this week as I prepare to cut my fiance's hair but this is easily the best because you show the entire cut step by step. I know it's a stopgap until we can get back to a salon eventually but I appreciate the guide. She has already cut my hair three times already since March. Hopefully I won't screw hers up too much.

[@barbarariordan3194]

Great tutorial going to try it out. Since $ does not go as far as it did several years ago, additional funds for a stylist are almost last in the list. I love my layered hair but after 15 months, it's more of a shaggy dog than a style. This video gives me hope! Thank you.

[@a.plucked.flower]

Love this tutorial. I have very dense, coarse, long and wavy hair. I just did this at home to take some weight off of my hair and it looks great. I went for shorter layer and my curls look healthier now. Thanks a ton!

[@melissahaley861]

This was a great video. I learned a great deal. I'd like to ask if you could possibly show is how to thin out your hair..my hair is super thick.

[@brittanykeith9561]

Using this tutorial for the second time and honestly the best tutorial I've watched. I've honestly watched hours and hours and none have made it so simple! Loved the result far more than any paid cut I've ever had, kinda ticked I wasn't given this all the times I asked for it and didn't receive it lol. THANK YOU SO MUCH! Love your down-to-earth approach that doesn't make us feel like cutting our hair at home is utterly ridiculous and that we will never manage a satisfactory result! I added your sweep bang tutorial to this one and just simply love it...I won't be changing anything for quite some time!

[@missa3805]

Great tutorial. This tutorial made my hair look really nice. The front is blended nicely. Easy face frame helps to blend the hair around the ear with the front and back hair. I learned three new things. How to even the front face frame. how blow drying to the front compliments this cut. And the face frame cut helps to blend the front hair with the back. I used your technique in 10 sections. My right and left side had a top front, bottom front, back top, bottom top, and then the whole section above the ears. My hair was already straight expect for my bangs so i started with the layers then the face frame.

[@lourdesgonzales1103]

Best video I've seen on doing layers!! I actually watched as someone else's video and I messed up my hair, it was very choppy. But I watched yours and followed it and omg it saved my hair!!!

[@andreapannucci3409]

This was TREMENDOUSLY helpful. I actually used this to add layers to a ball jointed doll wig I made and will save for the others. This was easy to follow and really appreciate the frank talk. Thank you!!!

[@TheSalonGuy]

Thank you!!!!!

[@Mrspatriciafry]

Yes, do my own hair. Had a hair cut and color in the fall $270 CAD and now in March $230 CAD. I can't do this every few months and I honestly (Aspergers - Very much dislike the Salon experience, the brushing and blow drying hurts, find the shampooing very uncomfortable and concerned about soap in the face and eyes) So this is great I can follow directions. Thank you thank you thank you.) I love your videos. I bought pro scissors.

[@Beajacks]

Great demo! I used to be a hair stylist and this is exactly how I would cut this style. My own hair is also this style, and I gotta tell you ladies, even as a stylist, its not an easy thing to cut your own hair. Its difficult to get at it!! Rather like painting your own nails, one side is always easier than the other.😂Worth giving it a go though, its very well explained.

[@elviramowbray7224]

Absolutely love all of your videos, you are always so informative and do them at a watchable speed, unlike some others. Recently got my NVQ3 Hairdressing but due to COVID and working full time in another occupation, not able to do much practising, so find your videos invaluable. Thank you, keep up the GREAT WORK.

[@CarnivoreHeals2]

I have been cutting my own hair since I was in high school. I think I have the knack since I always get lots of compliments. This is a great tutorial. My hair is long and all one length for the first time ever and I want to try something new. Thank you!

[@julesservantofjesus972]

You are an excellent teacher! I haven't been a professional stylist in over 30 years. I am now having to use my old skills to cut my hair at home as I am high risk. I've been wanting to cut some shorter layers so I am really thankful for your video! I think your jokes are funny! My husband is bald & Beautiful! God bless you! Stay safe! 🙏🏻✝️🙋🏼‍♀️😊

[@leahj6566]

This was extremely helpful. I have cut my own hair for many years. It’s done in layers also I followed your video and did a pretty good job. I was a professional hairstylist many years ago. But had to leave due to medical issue. I appreciate all your tutorials. Thanks 😘

[@dianebennettlegare5634]

Thanks Salon Guy! This actually helped me go from a disaster to compliments. From a gal who pulls no punches. I am no whiz but carefully following along “oh what a relief it is!”. Recommend.

[@angel061607]

This was EXTREMELY HELPFUL thank you for taking the time to show us how to do layers at home

[@sandram4225]

Very much helpful. Thank you

[@jamiegomez2159]

This video was helpful. I already do a lot of these tips when cutting just the length of my hair (no layers). I will need to watch it a couple more times before I attempt to cut layers into my hair.

[@cdex00]

Thank you for posting this video. I've always been someone who has gone between cutting my own hair at home and going to a professional. There's more to going to a salon than just a haircut. Having a great customer relationship with a stylist is fun too.

[@EllieM_Travels]

Thank you! I’ve been doing this for 15 years, and this is confirmation I’ve been doing it right. The only thing different is that I just grab it and cut, I don’t section it off and take my time. Lots of practice behind me, though. Your video was the best I’ve seen!

[@TheSalonGuy]

Thx sooo much

[@tHIS-Way911]

Thank you for this tutorial. I did just as you said and gave myself a beautiful haircut that my husband loved. Thank you as I am a visual learner and your instruction was fabulous. Thank you

[@rhondad7616]

I really appreciate your technic for keeping your hair in balance. You have done a wonderful job of explaining how to layer hair and I particularly like how you reaffirm not to cut the length of your hair. Thank you so much for sharing how to properly layer hair! I really appreciate you!!

[@wendybrannen4973]

Great instructions. Thanks!! I’m doing myself during COVID but do appreciate professionals and will return :) I actually found the layering to be the easier part (thanks to your step-by-step directions!).

[@chandraflowers]

i’ve been obsessed with all your videos even the ones that don’t pertain to female hair. it’s very relaxing to come to this channel and see how much you love your craft ❤️

[@TheSalonGuy]

Thx!!!

[@teresafraser3049]

I have been cutting my own hair and dying it for 40 years now and must say I've never been happier with my creations 👌🤗👌 I know this gentlemen is trying desperately to convince you that you should go to a hair stylist but let me say that you can do it yourself!!! It isn't as difficult that he is saying it is so all you need to work on is self confidence that you CAN!

[@almarodriguez3100]

I'll try to cut my hair the way you teach. You've explained very well and I fiund it quiet easy. Thank you for your explanaition!

[@kenzieleigh4628]

Awww he’s so sweet, thank you for this!! I know if I cut it I’ll definitely have a mess up, but it’s okay! Instead of being angry at myself I just remind myself that I’m not a pro, I made a choice, and I dealt with the consequence :)

[@eowyn_arwen796]

Thank you sooooo much for this tutorial! I cut my hair straight after watching this video! I kept referring to this video step by step as I was cutting my hair, hoping for the best. The result? I love it! I recently invested in an inexpensive hair dressing set. It has a pair of cutting shears, thinning shears, 2 hairclips & a hair dressing comb. Thanks again!

[@trollbbqer1267]

Thank you for posting this in such detail! I have thin, coarse hair (to my waist in back) and may let my daughter attempt a long multi-layered cut from long bang legnth in front to longer back. I wondered about the vertical scissor cutting and appreciate a seasoned professional's opinion/tip. I will share this with her. (She's been cutting and coloring her own hair better than any nearby rural salon for at least 5 years!😁)❤

[@pickachuandbobvideo6262]

This is a one of a good tutorial I’ve watch in KZbin, easy to follow . I want to try this to see how it work

[@MarySmith-kw9bc]

This is super helpful!! I cannot find the time with work and caretaking family members to care for myself. I am 50 years old and have self cut before in an emergency, but this gives all the helpful tricks. Thank You!!

Hello I'm watching From Laguna Philippines

[@joanallen2187]

Talk about disasters...I've had so many at the hairdressers. I'd love to know what your philosophy is on thinning thick hair. So many hairdressers have been too scissor-happy and ended up chopping into my hair so much with thinning scissors, leaving unsightly gaps and unintentional shorter sections. Traumatising..

[@SteakCutFries]

This is why I actually started cutting my own hair, I felt like I couldn't trust people, it was one too many hack jobs or getting overly excited with the thinning shears. Just that word makes me cringe now - Even with photos they would always do something to change it to what they thought looked better. I'm sorry, I'm not paying that much money to walk around feeling badly and self conscious about my looks for the next 2-3mths

[@ilax6662]

Yes today I finally learned if they turn your chair so you are not facing mirror. You are not in good hands.

[@raedinsmore7732]

This is why I looked up this video. The woman who cut my hair SHREDDED my hair to thin it. Which is fine, if it's hidden underneath, but she did it on the top layer. My hair looks frayed and unhealthy.

I've been a licensed hairdresser since 82....been cutting my own hair nearly as long....I do most everything like u showed....mine is cut shorter n front n on sides....but, I like how I cut my layers ....u r so right about a point n the back...I have my daughter take that off.... TFS Shelly from Colorado 😉 great video

[@susanaiaulds3494]

Dang. This tutorial is so awesome. I’ve tried some seemingly easier, gimmicky layer cuts, but this is the way it’s done. And I think I can do it! After a year of COVID and bad DIY cuts, my hair is in pretty bad shape and this is just what I need to get it back into shape. Thank you!

Thank you! I have had the same cut since I was 14. I haven't been able to find any one that can do it like it's supposed to be. I have been cutting it myself for the last few years. You have helped so much. You are awesome!
