Thanks for watching! What are two things you want to improve on from your last self-haircut?

[@Visper84]

Thank you. It seems like every video on YT is a skin fade.

[@bruinkloppenburg94]

What kind of wax are you using?

[@Nate_4545]

You need the cordless Wahl Detailer and Wahl Magic Clippers 🔥 so much easier to cut your own hair with no cords

[@AlexKouras]

@@bruinkloppenburg94 I actually don't use product unless I am going out to an event! But when I do it's usually a Hanz De Fuko product!

[@mydog7492]

Alex Kouras well if you enjoy just cutting hair why don’t you go get your license because you would be a great barber. I was going to school for it but quit

I'm a Licensed hairstylist. When he pulled out those BLENDING SHEARS and did it to his hair - I almost fell out of my chair. Also, LINING up the back is pretty hard if youre doing it to your own head. He got SKILLS. RESPECT.

[@johnpaul4301]

licensed hairstylist is basically a fancier way of saying legal barber

[@stmark4181]

@@johnpaul4301 Theres a BIG DIFFERENCE between Licensed Stylist aka COSMETOLOGIST and a Barber. For one - Cosmetologist graduated from Cosmetology school and Barbers graduated from Barbering School. TWO - Cosmetologist can do BOTH men and women's hair, while Barbers can only do Men's hair. There are other more examples of DIFFERENCE between the two. EDUCATE yourself and look it up.

[@stmark4181]

@@Ahmed____ Yeah, BUT we both cut hair DIFFERENTLY. Dont believe me? Get your haircut from a Barber in a barbershop, then get a haircut from a Stylist in Salon and COMPARE the two haircuts.

[@JAREDGRAF8181]

What was wrong with the blending shears?

[@stmark4181]

@@JAREDGRAF8181 There's nothing wrong with the blending shears. It's just that some professional barbers and stylist don't know how to use it - yet this guy who did NOT go to barber or beauty school is using the blending shears like a PRO. Even more remarkable is that he is using it on himself - which is hard to do.

[@IsabellaDuren]

For me this is the best self hair cutting video sofar ..During Lock down, Tried some other videos but never satisfied..until seeing your skin fade but I skipped number 1 guard and got a medium cut like this..However fiIn nding this today, I realised I was right..My way Thinning sheers were not used Instead used the comb and clipper without guard and clearing top of head within minutes perfectly 😅😅😅🙏..Thank you so very much for the idea of guidelines..💖😍

[@samuelguimaraes9186]

Damn, you're my quarantine life-saver 😂 I've been following some other channels but the whole close, halfway and an open guard is always confusing. Thanks for showing in your machine the guard position! Besides, it's always nicer to have narration over the video than machine noise 😛 Keep on the good work! Greetings from Berlin 👏

Soooo, I obsessed over your video Alex. Also, my name is Alex too, but I go by Alexander! I watched your video so many times and at one point took notes to help me remember your process. I can't tell you how distraught I was about cutting my own hair. But it was getting to the point where it had to be done, especially since we're all on lock down. Well, I'm happy to report that my very first ever self haircut was not tragic!! I even braved giving myself a hard part! I'm happy with the results for the most part, and it's all thanks to you my man! Thank you for the thorough how to video. I'm feelin good!

[@stephentrinh640]

Lol I went for it and kinda just winged it. I’m not upset with my attempt. Kinda wish I did this technique though to have a more systematic approach. I’m having a hard time blending the hard lines though. Update: I finally finished after like 3 hours. I’m happy with my results. I see some mistakes after washing my hair, but I’m proud of my results! I’ll give it another go in a few weeks now that I have the shape.

[@theodoor7394]

As someone with 0 experience holding clippers and pretty bad with a comb, let me give you some tips after attempting a self haircut: 1. The clippers felt super clunky in my hand and I struggled making that first line. Practice the motions first for everything 2. Go one level higher than what you want. If you're new like me, you are probably struggling every step of the way. Practicing with longer guards will let you fix mistakes and you can go back after getting the hang of it. 3. Be patient. Expect the haircut to take a while and don't rush it. No one is a pro on their first try. 4. No shame in asking for help in the back. It's way harder to using a mirror to see the back of your head than it seems. You'll build muscle memory over time but if you are like me, you will be there fumbling for a while. 5. Don't be afraid of failure. Your first haircut won't go exactly as planned. You'll get better with each attempt. My cut honestly wasn't bad. Could use some work making the fade cleaner and I definitely need to get used to looking at head with 2 mirrors. Will definetely do this again and feel much more prepared for next time.

[@burin72]

Great video, Alex! I cut my hair for the first time by myself - and it worked! Amazing. I also cut my fingers twice, but who cares :-) Thanks to you, I will cut my hair by myself for a while. Cheers, D.

Cut my hair today from the sides, took me 4 hours as I almost messed it up and then my trimmer (battery powered) started to die on me. Overall satisfied with the result as I have to go office even in this half lockdown so I have to look sharp.

You’re amazing being able to do this. I just trimmed mine using scissors. It turns out a lot better than expected. When I start to trim mine, I was like “90% of the time I’ll be at home, and when I have to go out I have my baseball cap to the rescue” if my hair trimming turned ugly 😝

Very nice video. I've been going to a stylist twice a month spending $120/month. Over the last few months, my husband asked me to do his (I always groom the dogs ; ) Then decided, with unemployment, to do my own. NO one noticed the difference! So, I'm putting that $120/month in my pocket and going to invest in better equipment. Saving time and money... although, the clean up in the bathroom is a pain as my Sicilian hair goes everywhere and sticks like napalm. Thanks again!

I'm a hairstylist And yes ur sections are great and but maybe for beginners it's easier to get all one length haircuts But instead of working one side to the other.
