[@nowaynohow1275]

One of my pet peeves regarding hair stylists is, once they have cut and styled your hair, they turn you out of the chair without any instruction on how to style at home. So, naturally, I go online and find you...someone who is more than happy to put in the extra hours creating content so clients of OTHER stylists can learn how to style the cut. I appreciate you and Dionne for all of the extra hours you put into to these videos. It must be like having two full time jobs! Just keep on keeping on...spreading knowledge and most of all JOY ❤

I'm not a cosmetologist. I'm just a regular person with curly hair seeking knowledge about hairstyles, styling, etc. Thanks for sharing your tips and tricks, Justin. It is so helpful.

[@jhawkjewel]

what are your thoughts on those blow-drying brushes? Do they help with volume or do they just make the frizz worse? They do seem to dry hair faster, but I'm not sure if they are really great for my hair

[@dawnsfields]

Any information shared is always worthwhile. You explaining HOW to cut hair doesn’t mean I’m going to stop going to a stylist, it just helps me to better COMMUNICATE with a stylist.

[@justinhickox]

EXACTLY! Thank you! It seemed so crazy to me to have a cosmetology instructor say I was being unethical for instructing clients. I think it's unethical to NOT help your client get the best results regardless of how they achieve them.

[@KayKell1215]

@@justinhickox If this person’s logic is true, which in my opinion is completely incorrect, then all the dermatologists, makeup artists etc who create content teaching would be “unethical” as well. To me it doesn’t make any sense how this is unethical. Teaching gives people valuable information and more confidence to be able to make better choices!

[@karenknopick45]

No you are NOT off base. I have always thought part of going to your stylist should include how to style one’s hair. I always leave loving my hair but when I style at home, I hate it. I love what you are doing.

[@Lhilton64]

As a hairstylist for over 40 years I think it’s 100% our job to educate our clients in how to style their hair properly! In my area ( rural small town ) a lot of women don’t want to bother but the ones that do need to know and often ask what do I use and how do I make it look how I do! It’s our livelihood walking around out there and if they get compliments right there is a referral to you and hopefully a long time client. You’re doing the right thing and don’t let the few that disagree stop you from these awesome videos!

[@justinhickox]

I couldn't agree more! Thank you for this amazing support. I can tell you're a solid professional. I appreciate you.

[@heatherclawson1308]

Exactly! That is how I found my hairstylist in the first place. And now I get A LOT of requests to know who my stylist is and happily share her info because I love her so much! A huge thanks to excellent professionals like you both who are more concerned about their clients so that they are happy with their cut and keep coming back, rather than being frustrated by not being able to replicate the fresh-from-the-salon look. I have dumped many a stylist because I couldn’t make my hair look like they did. Truly my cuts could last me many months but I religiously go every 8 weeks because I love the feel of a fresh cut and color. And I love my current stylist.

[@cherylK228]

As a former cosmetologist, I think it’s good that you teach clients how to work with their hairstyles. So often people complain that they can never achieve the same look at home that they get in the salon. Your videos have taught me a lot. And your wife has even inspired me to cut my long hair shorter. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.

[@marthemorais7636]

I find your videos are helping me doing a better job at setting my hair Very helpful and appreciated

[@justinhickox]

Wow, thanks Cheryl for the kind words! I will let Dionna know you inspired her

[@corinneburque]

Knowledge is power which equates into confidence. This helps is communicating with my stylist in a way that makes us on the same page so I walk away as a happy customer. It’s a win for both of us. Thank you

[@ColeenHein]

This is the best point - that people come out of the salon after a cut-and-style with this "great" look only to not be able to re-create it at home! What is the point??? There is FAR more value in getting taught how to make your hairstyle great everyday than to just go in and get a bob and wave good-bye and have it fail the very next time you wash and style it! I'd pay more for that kind of service - I don't get it at my salon, sadly, but this video of yours has given me so many tips, I'm so grateful! (I'll also caveat that by saying I've never asked for good tips, either, so there's that...) Also, I agree that it really does help to have this kind of info when working with my stylist. So kudos to you! Those folks who think you're hurting the industry and spilling "secrets" need to take a good look at their own fears and deal with those instead of lashing out at helpful folks like you. ;) I'm going to re-watch this and take notes now for tomorrow morning when I style my own new bob. :D

[@March5546]

As a client, this would be where I’m coming from. I want to know what will and will not work for my hair. In fact, it’s helped me understand to stick with a stylist and communicate what I want, instead of stylist hopping.

[@pamelamanning99]

Considering the millions of people who go to hair dressers, I find it hard to believe you can "hurt the industry" by teaching. That complaint was silly. Your generosity is greatly appreciated.

[@Ariadne76-k3d]

I agree. I am not ever going to a salon unless it's for a color and cut. I would never go just for a styling, so no one is losing and business.

Justin, as per comments at end, you’ve taught the public how to care for hair properly in between our visits to our favorite stylist.

[@sherrysimmerman2515]

I am not a cosmetologist and I watch your videos so I can intelligently answer my hairstylist when she asks, “So what are we doing today?” Your videos help me feel less dumb when speaking with her about what I want my hair to look like when she is done.

[@mary5827]

I'm surprised by the comment posted by that hairstylist. Now, I can't speak for everyone, but for myself, your videos made me realize that I wasn't thrilled with my hairstylist or my hairstyle. I thought I was communicating what I wanted, but every time I left, I wanted to cry. She was a wonderful person, but I just wasn't equipped with the right communication tools to express myself and so she kept giving me the same haircut. Finally, during covid, I called a different hair salon. I won't lie, I was scared. Hairstylists can be very intimidating. But they were so kind! The stylist asked me a lot of questions (no one else had ever done that)! Thanks to your videos, I was able to tell and then show her some ideas that I liked. She was so nice. She respected my wishes about keeping a certain length and since my grey was showing, and the ends were turning redish, she came up with a solution to save me from having to get color every 6 weeks. Anyway, recently, you had a video where you talked about texturizing. I went last week and asked her about maybe shortening my hair, adding bangs (I had pictures), and texturizing. She lit up! She said she could do a little or a lot depending on how I liked it! I'm already talking too much, but I ended up telling her to go for it since I trust her now! But I got ALL of my ideas and my nerve to speak up from watching your videos and taking notes! This last haircut is amazing! I love it! I was dancing when I left the salon and couldn't wait to show it off! So please, don't stop doing what you do! Goodness! Where will I get my ideas for my next style?😂❤❤❤

Where have you been all my life?! So glad I found you. Finally a professional that cares to TEACH us, the client, how to actually style at home. I learned so much in this video. The rationale of why you blow dry down the shaft explains why my hair gets frizzy…and learning how to communicate to my stylist is invaluable. Thank you for what you do. This info will NEVER replace the need for our beloved stylists once a month. It just will help us enjoy the work of the stylist more until next appt.

[@suep4999]

I, as many women, have walked out of a salon frustrated with not knowing what to do at home to get the look I want. A stylist has limited time while I’m in the chair, that time is consumed with whatever they are doing that day. There’s little time, if any, for them to have me style my own hair while in their chair. Bottom line if my hair looks good and someone comes up to me and asks who cuts my hair then I’m promoting the stylist. Please continue to show us the tips as a lot of us need all the help we can get!

[@bethbasilone5927]

Exactly! If I were to ask her to teach me how to replicate how she styles my hair, it would take up her time that she could be working on her next paying customer. Sometimes she has a few extra minutes to teach me a little, but never as much time as just 1 of Justin's videos.

[@lindahall7177]

Absolutely agree with these comments. Learning so much - loved the video explaining thick hair bs lots of fine hair.

My hairdresser has asked me to send videos like yours before my appointment. She told me videos like yours help her to improve her technique when cutting hair. Because she already has training, she is able to implement your techniques and get a great cut. It’s also great to watch how you instruct the client how to style at home. My hairdresser does take time to show me how to style at home, but with her limited time, she can’t take 20 minutes to do step-by-step instructions. I’ve watched several of your videos and find them very helpful to learn to style at home. I think most women (at least) would love to be able to share one of your videos with their hairstylist instead of trying to explain exactly what they want and coming out of their appointment frustrated that they didn’t get the cut they wanted because of miscommunication. I know my stylist greatly appreciated when I shared a video with her on how I wanted my hair cut😊

I love the education I get from your videos. It helps me to better understand what to ask for from my stylist and how to better style my hair at home. This in no way hurts my stylist. I'm not sure what that person was complaining to you about. You are helping many people with your videos and I appreciate you. Thank you!

[@justinhickox]

Thank you! I appreciate you! Yeah, it seemed so crazy to me to think that an actual cosmetology instructor would say I’m being unethical by educating clients why we do what we do and how we do what we do so that they can get better results.

[@AW-gl6yn]

I love these videos. I’m not a hair stylist, I’m a client and I’ve always had thick long curly hair. You are very good at explaining the style process.I think that clients need to learn how to style their own hair but most don’t take the time to style it every day. You are helping everyone because it’s so much easier to explain what I want to my stylist when I use your video as a reference. So helpful. ❤ I don’t feel that you are taking business away from salons by teaching everyone these techniques, I think you are encouraging good communication which creates harmony at the salon. ❤

[@VeiledDancer]

Insecure with their abilities as stylist. They don’t want their clients to have knowledge of what may work best for them. They seem to forget that they are there to provide a paid service to clients. I’m glad you’re not just giving a “haircut“, you’re educating them, because not all heads of hair are the same. I have learned so much from you.❤

[@justinhickox]

Everyone (including me) is learning all the time

[@dmcm4574]

Hahaha. You explaining the process, and helping me understand better how to style my hair and/or better communicate with my own stylist…does not mean that I’m gonna stop going to a hairdresser to get my hair cut and/or colored. Although I have always done a majority of my upkeep coloring anyway (long before YT, or even the internet) was invented…as my stylist is well aware..and she & I both know I do a great job, and truly can’t be running in for root touch ups constantly (I have fast growing gray hair). I do have her do the occasional cleanup/reboot of my color, and/or highlights, etc…, but I’m literally NEVER cutting my own hair. So glad you’re not scared to share. Love your videos, content & style…keep them coming!

[@MaryEllen505]

I'm not ashamed to say I'm a nerd. I LOVE learning... about almost anything. I very much like the technical info you give. I worry about a professional seeking to hide what they do from their customers.

[@justinhickox]

I know, right? We are all learning, all the time. Thank you for your support - I'm a nerd too!

[@debradenton6765]

Justin, You can give ten people one recipe and it will come out ten different ways! It's not the knowledge that is so valuable. It's the ability to implement! And from what I see watching you, yours is a gift that you have honored and grown! The real value is in teaching the client to better care for their hair! I LOVE that you INFORM us! Really, it is a beautiful tribute to the stylist when we can apply what you've given us (the style and the tools) and go out in the world looking fabulous! I've always know that if I want a good hair dresser to find the individual whose hair looks fabulous! THANK YOU! ~Debra

[@elizabethvillalta8906]

I have a lot of hair & when I lost a good portion of my hair after the virus I was looking for answers. Part of my search was how can I style my hair to look fuller because this was now new to me & that’s how I found you…so grateful because it made me feel better learning how to. Your tips are deeply appreciated!! My hair all grew back & now I want a bob again 😊

[@justinhickox]

Thank you for your kind words. Sounds like a bob is in your future!

[@renee5430]

Justin, You are giving a gift! I was a hair stylist decades ago and would have benefitted greatly from your videos. You are sharing your expertise at no cost to your viewers. That is sheer generosity! I believe your videos are a win-win for both client and stylist. It baffles me that you are receiving negativity. BTW: I have never written a comment on any platform, but truly want to support you. Renee

[@sherrydance144]

This is excellent! Now I know how to treat my cowlick. Your instructions do not hurt stylists. It enables people to better communicate with their stylists and learn how to better style their hair at home. If people feel more comfortable with styling their own hair, they might be more daring with the cuts they get, and then might go to their stylist even more. Keep doing what you are doing!!!

[@debbiedalton3936]

I think you are absolutely amazimg! Your information is sooooo helpful. Our stylist don't take the time to walk us through the how to's and it is so nice to have someone to explaim everything from blow drying, creating volume, products and so much more. Also amazing to see the different cuts and styles to learn from and consider. Please don't stop doing what is so helpful to most of us! ❤

[@uscitizen898]

I LOVE that you get technical! It shows us non-stylists the "why and how-to" so much better than just a video showing how a pro like you can get the right look 👍 Admittedly as a DIYer for my very fine/thin hair, I've learned SO much from watching your videos... I've yet to find a stylist who truly has given me a good cut/style. They 'say' they can work with my hair type and then I walk out with a horrible cut for hair that grows so slowly I'm relegated to hat-wearing! Ugh! YES yes yes! Keep doing your videos with all that info. I think it's the cosmetologists who are insecure who dislike you giving away "trade secrets" IMO. And P.S. I love your sense of humor! 🥰

[@justinhickox]

Thank you so much for this! It sincerely means a lot. I am so happy to hear that I can help in anyway! And I totally agree, every strong and secure stylist I’ve ever met, has been more than willing to give away any secrets they have because they fully recognize their value. I also believe that that is a large part of the reason they are so successful. What seemed crazy to me was that a cosmetology instructor could say that I’m being unethical by teaching clients why we do what we do so that they can get better results. To me it’s unethical to hide things from your client That could impede them from getting the best results.

[@joyceschetter5871]

I love the session today where you’re actually teaching the client how to take care of her own haircut to get the desired results. I too will never quit going to my hairstylist. Watching your sessions convinces me that my hairstylist really knows what she’s doing because she’s doing most of what I see you doing. I want her to teach me how to style my own haircut.

[@Joan-qh8lw]

I love your tutorials. If only you lived in my state. It's hard to find a good stylist who knows how to cut and style all types of hair.

[@justinhickox]

Thank you so much! I’m so happy to hear that I could help! I sincerely appreciate the kind words!

[@mazie65]

I like that you are teaching people how to use the products and tools to achieve their desired look at home. Knowledge leads to successful/desired outcomes. Keep doing you and what makes you happy. You cant please everyone.

[@belindacoffin9413]

As for the comments from the hairstylist......they are forgetting that we fix our hair 99.9% of the time at home. Of course we need to know how to style our own hair correctly. The more educated we are at taking care of our own hair the healthier it will be. Isn't that the goal? We will always go to our hairdressers for haircuts. We appreciate you teaching those of us that want to learn.

[@denisefissel7998]

I feel that educating your client makes them a better communicator. They go home and work with the knowledge you have given. When they come back for a trim, a major cut or color , they can say what worked and what doesn't. I also believe that by educating, the client is willing to take more risks when trusting the stylist. I have naturally curly hair and did not have any idea how to work with it until I was 43. I had been to very expensive stylists over the years in NYC and would leave loving the doo but hated when I couldn't replicate it. It's one of the reasons we jump from one stylist to the next. Communication is key! Thank you for what you share.

[@lori900]

Justin! You keep doing what you are doing. Don't stop being you and using your heart to share. 1. I can help my hairstylist know about what I want, not just saying "I'll let you do what YOU think I need" - been there, done that and never completely happy. 2. I can help keep my hair styled and healthy IN BETWEEN my appointments, so I continue being happy with my hair. 3. I may need to make some minor trim to my fringe area that I don't need to pay or take the time at the salon for. So may I say, THANK YOU!!!! My stylist has me returning without missing a beat.

[@justinhickox]

Thank you so much! This truly means a ton to me! I’m so happy to hear that I can help in this way. You’re awesome and I always appreciate your support!

[@micheleteeple2564]

Justin, you don't give out too much education! It's useful info for us, the clients, but most of us want a professional to teach us how to manage our fabulous cut. I think your educator/commentary is feeling that we are all gonna cut and style our own hair forever and leave him/you flapping in the wind! An informed client is a continued client.

[@alfsilvia1]

I am very grateful that you teach us how to style our hair. It always makes me very disappointed when I get a great cut and style at the salon, and the next day, my hair doesn't look as good as it did in the salon.

[@justinhickox]

Yes, that is frustrating, but I will keep these videos coming

[@deel657]

You’re the best instructor on how to work with our individual styles and hair textures, naturally we, who choose to watch, will need our local stylists to maintain an optimal style! ❤ Thankyou Justin, I value my 61 year old full head of hair and appreciate all the advice on keeping it healthy and beautiful 🌟

[@debrajonas6201]

I think it’s great that you are providing education for us to pass on to our stylist

[@justinhickox]

Thank you! That’s how I think about it as well which is why the comment was so confusing! I appreciate your feedback.

[@annettewilliamson2369]

I have thick wavy hair and I'm in my early 50s. My style of choice for the last decade is various length bobs. I am So happy to have discovered your videos. I have never had a stylist instruct me like you do. Please don't stop educating us.

[@maryparadis1573]

You’re the first hairstylist I have ever heard explain how to manage a Calic.

[@lauragilkey4921]

You're talking about the 'cowlick' right?

[@gloriarodriguez8045]

Yo también soy peluquera jubilada! Y adoro y aprecio tu generosidad.Bravo !! Continua haciendo este tipo de video, se aprende muchísimo contigo gracias Agustín eres genial.

[@thatwitchlori]

IMO, a stylist that is offended by their clients educating themselves is greedy and full of ego. I would never return to someone with that opinion.

[@kathynewkirk683]

I’m not seeing that! Learning a lot from him….

[@thatwitchlori]

@@kathynewkirk683 He asked for opinions about stylists who have commented that way.

[@jodicraigie5012]

Speaking as a client who wants to be educated about the best way to explain my haircut/style preferences to my stylist, I appreciate all of the education that your channel provides. Many times the words that make sense to me, perhaps do not translate in stylist terms, so it helps to watch and listen to the tips that you offer to better communicate what I want. I also tend to get the 'sausage roll' at the ends of my bob/sides and learned from this video that its likely how I'm holding my wrist that is causing the issue. Going to keep this in mind when using my flat iron in the future.

[@Zer0rchestra]

lmaoooo. I watch SO many technical hair videos on KZbin but I still go back to my hair stylist when I want a cut or bleach. I've mastered my semi-perm colour at home and my stylist encourages me to do it. She knows it's costly to come to her for it since semi-perm fades out so quick and I'm dedicated to keeping it bright. She says she loves it because I take such good care of it so it helps her work last longer out in the world too. Teaching people how on KZbin is not as demonic as this person is making it out to be. I still do and always will go back to my stylist. Videos like this just help in between when I don't want to bug my stylist but also want to learn a new way to style my hair or "troubleshoot" a problem I'm having with it.

[@justinhickox]

Thank you! That's exactly what I thought! I was so shocked to hear an educator say what I do is unethical! I think it's unethical to NOT be honest with your clients and help them get the best results for them, regardless of how they get them.

[@Zer0rchestra]

@@justinhickox I don’t even have a bob; I have hair down to my waist but been thinking about cutting it. This gave me an idea of what I’d be in for with shorter hair. Helped me to make the decision that a bob is too short for me, so thank you!!! At least I can show up to my stylist with a decision and direction in my head now. Your videos help clients make confident choices.

[@stephaniereed9046]

I love learning how to fix my bob and get more volume. You're not hurting the industry we still need our hairdresser but we cant count on them to do our hair ever single day and who doesn't want to look good every single day? I sure do. Thank you for the tips and tricks I've learned a lot from watching you.

[@bethhelen574]

Sounds like some insecurity with the commenter. Your instruction has taught me what to discuss with my stylist. She always listens and appreciates - knowing I will be a happy client. Knowing what and how to communicate is key. Please keep your format.

[@justinhickox]

That’s awesome! I have found that confident hairstylist are also open to learning and sharing everything that they know because they recognize their talent and value they bring.

[@soniarios5049]

No matter what “a client” does on their own, the end result is never going to be the same as when a professional does it. Technique and products are a percentage, but for me personally, it’s the much needed & loved self care of going to a stylist. Also, my stylist appreciates when her clients know what they’re doing because she doesn’t have to constantly be fixing screw-ups! You’re great, keep doing you and helping people be there very best! 💜

[@tracisawyer7681]

You are not off base at all and I’m afraid this is probably a beautician who doesn’t listen to her clients. I run into this a lot, and I've gone through a lot of hairstylist because they will not communicate with me. You show a picture. Tell them what you want in detail. They shake their head with no discussion about your hair type and lifestyle and then do what they want. One of the main reasons I watch your videos to get more education so that I can talk to the beautician and we are on the same page. I'm not trying to tell the beautician how to do their job which some of them interpret it as that. Believe me at 60 with thinning gray hair it has been very hard to find a beautician who will work with me

[@justinhickox]

Thank you! And this is exactly why I create videos! I’ve always thought, it’s not about telling hairstylists what to do, it’s about explaining to clients why we do what we do and how we do what we do so that you can get better results with your hair. It seemed so crazy to me to hear a cosmetology instructor tell me I was not being ethical by Teaching clients what we do.

[@judywelday9387]

Don't change anything, your information is so valuable to any client. We do want to know what is going on and the questions we need to ask to get the look we want. Very much appreciate the technical aspects of cuts and styling, thanks so much!

[@brendashafer6529]

the cosmetologist that doesn't like you teaching us is being short sighted and self centered. I cannot go to a hairdresser every week to do my hair so It's good to be able to do it at home. Chef's teach us how to cook because we cannot go to a restaurant every night. jeesh

[@lgf7254]

I love how you asked your client to demonstrate how she styles her hair at home, it’s a great way of learning as a client on how to do it right! As a client I just go home I figure out on my on! Thea I you for your videos, this is my second video of your that I watched.

[@trinirhorer1010]

I am a stylist. I also explain to my clients. This is a gift to the client. When they have a better understanding of the process they are better able to recreated the “look” on a daily basis. This has created a large client base for me as well as providing great resources of referrals. Keep doing what you’re doing. You make a difference, and you are raising the bar !

[@debmoz37]

PLEASE DO NOT STOP GIVING HAIR TUTORIALS! You are the 1st stylist to explain how and why you do things, and the consequences of not doing them. I’ve never really had to style my hair before, it was very long and curly. But after losing my soul mate 4 years ago, I chopped it all off and now it’s right at chin level. Now I have to style my hair or I look ridiculous. I do not know what to do, how to do it, or anything. You’re the 1st to explain it to where I can do it myself.(sometimes) I consider myself fairly talented or skilled in a lot of things. Styling hair is def not one of them! So THANK YOU SO MUCH AND PLEASE CONTINUE TO DO TUTORIALS!!

[@TinaRoworth]

Don’t stop the videos!! One of the most frustrating things about getting a new hairstyle is that the hairdresser can do it well but it is harder for us to achieve at home. I would never stop going to my hairdresser because of your videos- they just help me understand how hair works! Love it ❤️❤️❤️

[@antoinettewebb3774]

I love how you explain all the blowdrying/cutting it has helped me alot. Lots of tips. Keep doung what youre doing. There will always be people that criticise. You cant please everyone.

[@strawberryjam119]

Justin, as a client I appreciate that you educate your clients and us followers and that would not make you lose me as a client but gain my respect and trust and I would be recommending others to you for that very reason. I am not surprised that your clientele increased and your followers and I hope to find a stylist like you one day, oh that would be the dream! Thank you again, Justin, you are the dream hair stylist we all want to have in our neighborhood!

[@lynnejohnson9442]

We rely on our stylist to give us a cut so we can achieve these results at home. Many don’t have the time to teach us the blowout in the detail you do. If they’re criticizing you for doing so, it’s their insecurity and resentment of time constraints imposed on them. I am very appreciative of your instructions - they have helped me and my bob a lot! Thank you!

[@elenamarie272]

You are definitely not off base! I could binge watch hair tutorials all day every day. I have always been fascinated on how stylists cut hair and I completely enjoy and find it extremely helpful learning about what does and doesn't make a great haircut. I've forever been in search of how to achieve that perfect blow dry and style for my bob, and I believe I have found it here! Thank you for making these videos. Keep doing what you're doing! It's so beneficial!

[@ladyfirst7853]

You are not off base. Watching your videos have helped me with being in control of styling my hair at home. My stylist can cut and color my hair, but I’m learning the tips and tricks of styling through your channel. So, please continue your instruction and inspiration for all of us! I appreciate your channel so much and look forward to watching them all.

[@Michelle-Gx3jq]

As another poster said, just because you give such great instruction on now to style and work with various hairstyles and types certainly doesn't mean I will stop going to a salon. Not every stylist takes the time to SHOW you how to dry and style your hair. I really appreciate your videos and find them extremely helpful❤

[@hotironmom]

I just discovered your channel and have to say "thank you!" You've taught me more about how to style my bob and what I'm doing wrong in two videos than in a year with the stylist. She does a great cut, but it never looks as good as when she does it, but I had no idea why. I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos.

[@alphadog3384]

I would definitely follow a stylist who helps with understanding the needs of the client, that's how you build a relationship and customer supported services. Really good tips.

[@janetthompson4453]

I love that you go threw and explain, I am a cosmetologist & love seeing other people's insight and what works well for them. I love that you show your clients how to achieve the same look. Great job!

[@JillJacobs-in8wp]

I love that you teach the language of cosmology and you demonstrate how to use to each step to get the results. It helps me explain to my hairstylist in her language what I want when she cuts my hair. I'm an accountant I don't know cosmetology. Having you show the techniques and explain them is a Godsend!

[@eiebaby]

Your input and visuals outside of the salon chair is why I watch. I want to see what and how you do what you do from outside the box. What to do and what not to do is a great example of communicating with your clients and members of your chanel. I love it.

[@Rmharris11]

I just had my long hair cut into a bob and with all this recent humidity it has been a nightmare! I am extremely grateful to you for sharing all of these tips as it has been a hair saver for me ❤. To be honest, I have never had a hair stylist take the time to show me how to care for my style when at home so I am thankful to you for sharing this with us 😊
