Have you ever gotten a cut similar to this? Share with us below!

[@deeferz]

Never but I want to should I go for this look?

[@marulans1613]

Dede :3 yess

[@wanh3703]

Yes, now I chopped it into boycut. My hair texture are exactly same like her.

[@saraxison1725]

I got a shag a few months ago and absolutely love it!!!

[@redblue6836]

Please do one with straight hair too!!

[@graceinnocent6220]

If I ever heard my hairdresser say "even if you get a bad haircut it doesn't matter, you can just grow it out and move past it" I would bolt.

[@blushmuffin5259]

I don't think he realizes how traumatizing a bad haircut can be.

[@jusssayin480]

If a bad haircut is the most traumatizing thing in your life consider yourself very lucky.

[@graceinnocent6220]

[@ninalou4629]

@@blushmuffin5259 yes. Try going from hair that reaches ur belly button to shoulder lentgh after asking for just a trim and see how it feels.

[@lunarose5817]

@@jusssayin480 the assumption that this person thinks it’s literally the most traumatizing thing in life just because they rightfully stated that a bad haircut is awful is so ridiculous. you do realize that most people dislike people like you, right? stop acting like a prick and learn some decency

[@tattoosbysaoirsewells5204]

A better title would have been “watch me get layers” this is hardly bangs or shag 😬 it really just looks like she got some layers and he styled it

[@zky7643]

Agree LOL

[@thelarisa]

LITERALLY.

[@aushaheart8258]

I agree I was like oh ok it looks the same as it did just cut dead ends and layers. Where is the shag?

[@juliaherni5357]

This yt account always fools me based on the title....

[@Em-fz5uh]

I agree. I have trouble seeing the Alexa Chung inspired hair cut she wanted. I expected some curtain bangs that are very trendy right now (I have them myself and I'm obsessed haha) but nope.

[@aushaheart8258]

The hair is cute but all he did was cut dead ends and add layers...where is the shag????

[@roseredm1]

Not much different.

[@CC-si3cr]

He called it a "modern shag" whatever that means. I was thinking her look was going to be more Miley Cyrus "Midnight Sky".

[@halifaxdarkrecords1548]

Where’s the haircut?? This was a trim 😂😂😂

[@Juliet_Capulet]

Same...she is very pretty and the cut looks nice bit it really just looks like shorter hair.

[@argosweiss203]

@@CC-si3cr yes i was about to say that, a modern shag, not a club kid kinda of shag

[@whatever3440]

This cut isn't really a shag but the client seemed happy and the hairdresser was really nice, love that

[@jusssayin480]

That's cool. But don't call it a 70s shag.

[@elizabetharmstrong4108]

THANKYOU!! thought it was just me.

[@jgonz741]

It’s looked slightly shorter than what she had. Not much difference at all! Hope the show paid for her hair because I’d be pissed if I went to a high end salon for a trim haha!

[@dotty555]

The hairdresser is SUPER nice!!!

[@megannwalsh]

This is layers, not a shag at all.

[@JudyCZ]

Americans are so weird. 😀 They literally met like an hour ago; "I love you!" "I love *you*!"

[@GamingWithMus]

Hhaah The term is used loosely these days unfortunately. Never from the heart.

[@snowbunny8431]

@@GamingWithMus I think it's not used enough. Why does love have to be resevered for a certain time or person? I love flowers, trees, the sky and let them know everyday.

Why spread hate when you can spread love

It seems to be a very common thing among english speakers. I find it that compared to spanish and italian, english speakers tend to overuse it/use it more casually.

[@LavenderAdefolalu]

He brought her waves/loose curls to LIFE! Looks very natural and effortless, super cute on her!

[@swaraaiyer4996]

she is gorgeous and the cut really suited her!

@@refinery29 you responded to a comment I'm pretty sure was sarcastic rewatch the vid opening.

[@RachelLynneJones]

He's a really good stylist. He didn't shock her with something completely different. He took influence from the styles she referenced, but ultimately he played just outside her comfort zone. Also, his portfolio is beyond impressive. I dug everything about him!

[@chocojellys]

♡ the hairstylist. pretty sure i'm not gonna be nervous if i got hairstylist like him.

[@kellymelissa5017]

that is not a shag lmao. she needed waaaaay shorter layers for that

@@imthe4thmonth it's not hating. It's just not a shag.

[@sotrue5413]

@@imthe4thmonth it's just very misleading. If the title says bangs and shag haircut, we expect to see exactly that. It's not hard to name the video for what it actually is.

[@eagletmars]

This cut wasn't dramatic by any means, but it really brought out her natural beauty, and I love it on her❤😍

[@DontComeBack.]

“I LOVE YOU!” It’s cute and funny. The hair is absolutely nice, I wonder what types of hairstyle suits me..

[@eonarts]

I was so looking forward to the finished cut but meh! I mean where are the bangs? And that cut is NOT A SHAG!

[@lynnecartwright3976]

She hasn't had different styles as she calls it...the pics just show her with colour. I do wish people like this would do something radical instead of what is basically a trim.

[@RachelIlous89]

Yessss!!! This is everything I wanted!! I have a saggy hair style myself from quarantine Do-it yourself hair cut lol and I’m in love with it !!! Also Adir is my spirit animal!! Love his style and aesthetic 😍

[@sinnaaah]

I love how he brought out more of her natural waves, so pretty!

[@bella-nina]

i loved the haircutter too omg he was so lively and great

[@fridaychinatown6172]

Mmm yess */haircutter/*

[@mariaermides]

I loved it. As he said he wanted for her to have more of a 'modern shag', and I feel like that was the perfect interpretation for her style and look!

[@dandibambi]

anyone else love the hair stylist’s overall vibe?? if I had someone like him doing my hair every day it’d be over for y’all

[@refinery29]

+dandibambi LOL, right?! :)

[@magicpony9]

OMG that looks sooooo good. Very French/Jane Birkin/“I’m just naturally chic and gorgeous without having to do anything special” look. VERY impressed.

[@phyllisxoxo160]

I totally love having bangs ✨

[@mommabear2544]

I wish I could find a stylist like this. Someone that will actually listen, take into account hair texture, natural shape... instead of hearing "This girl wants a shag and this is how everyone else is doing a mullet... I mean a shag!".

[@southernrosetiadee]

Alice’s hair looks beautiful! Very Alexa Chung-inspired (like she wanted). I’d completely trust Adir with my hair: he has a love for hair and he really listened to Alice’s concerns and created a style that she loves.

[@JuaniqueVerde]

I loved his energy & accessories! 😍 I think he did a really great job! She’s so pretty 😍 Her hair looks 🔥 I knew she had some waves under there! Fabulous 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@sofiatsiopoulou]

The best hair transformation so far

[@doodlingpotato5655]

I love how he talks about haircuts/hairstyles like an art (I mean it is but I often forget to think about it in that way). He‘s making me want to get a haircut way out of my comfort zone lol.
