HOW TO CUT LONG LAYERS LIKE A PRO | BEGINNER FRIENDLY HAIRCUTTING TUTORIAL

[@matthewbarefoot3465]

I’ve never cut hair before. I watched this and my wife’s hair turned out perfectly. This video made it really simple. Thank you.

[@youtubingbabs]

Awwwww. Relationship goals. My dad used to paint my mom's toenails, she told me. It's so sweet.

[@lifeasgeb2836]

Ok so I graduated cosmo school almost 2 1/2 years ago I tried to work in a salon after school but was never actually taught how to cut hair. I finally feel like a lightbulb went off after watching this video. Thank you so much. Please make more videos because u don’t understand how much this has helped me!! Thank you so much.

[@Speyes13]

KZbin videos have been more helpful to me in my cuts than beauty school.

Thats so cute❤

[@emilylee2156]

Thank you so much for this! I’m in cosmetology school but we’re shut down right now and I feel so anxious about not getting my hands on experience! This really helped me understand cutting layers better.

[@PanickedPluto]

Emily Lee dont worry I once took a 3-4 month break in cosmetology school during summer and once I got back it took no more than a week to get my hands remembering the movement. Just keep watching videos and reading from your book. I took state board just before the shut down and got licensed just this March.

[@glossymane]

Omg me too !

[@Ri-rp7ly]

Me too! I’m so stressed out I don’t want to graduate without knowing how to properly cut hair

[@phichau6126]

Omg your video was the most easiest to understand! You described everything so well and it all made sense. Thank you!

You are a great teacher Sam, thank you so much for this video and for all the details you gave, leaving nothing out. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!❤

[@sybildisobedience9969]

Sam you’re amazing! You really are very good at instructing. A skill set that is worth gold in Silicon Valley. Thanks so much for this tutorial.

[@Carm-se3fn]

I am so impressed with the generosity of people like you. I’ve been in quarantine for months and my thick hair was out of control. I originally had layers but when I cut off some length I had “triangle head.” I watched your video over and over and followed you as best as I could on my own head. I think I got it! I know it is not professional but it’s way better than it was and no more TH! Thank you. ❤️

[@pattiscarborough6275]

This is the best long layer tutorial I've ever seen! Thank you so much!

[@veevzkdzr]

Hi! I’m currently in school now and I just can’t grasp cutting as much as other specialties. I did layers on my doll head today and now on the look out for a video that gave me an “aha” moment. This video was the one. Thank you! I’m going to try your technique tomorrow.

[@alyssa4157]

It’s so kind of you to share your skills with us especially at a time where we’re all unable to go to the salon. Thank you!!

Sam….You NEED to teach!!!! You are amazing at it😄😊🤗💕💞

[@jennymaysonet-delatorre2853]

With the holidays coming up, I just couldn’t afford to go back to my salon! This was the best tutorial ever! I’m very pleased with my layers! Thank you!

Ya he visto varios videos y éste es uno de los mejores, explicaciones simples y estructuradas 👍 Gracias

Thank you, that was very easy to watch and good explaining all through the style cutting 👍

[@brittanyrice1820]

This was absolutely amazing!! I’m so happy to have finally found this. I haven’t found a hairstylist yet and in my 30’s who has been able to give me long layers without chopping all my hair off. You did amazing thanks again ❤️

[@Elithia.m]

Your explanation and visuals gave me confidence. My little sister asked me to trim and give her layers so I’m definitely following this video! Thank you a ton!!

[@annabenitez833]

Thank youuu!! My hair looks better than when I pay $75 for a cut! I was able to get rid of all the unevenness and dry ends without taking off much noticeable length and now have beautiful layers! Obsessed with my at home cut....thank you, thank you, thank you!

I found your long layers hair cut tutorial very helpful and easy to understand. Thank you Sam for your video and hopefully more videos like this posted in the near future.

[@Rukiachan05]

This tutorial was so easy to follow compared to the others on youtube. It finally makes sense to me, thank you so much!

[@madelinebrown5240]

Hey Sam! As a video series suggestion, could you start a DIY haircutting at home series for all of us in quarantine? There's some videos on KZbin already, but it's different doing it on yoursef versus cutting hair on a mannequin.

[@styledbysamvay]

True... but then I know people are going to give me shit for not actually cutting my hair and showing what the final result would look like lol

[@madelinebrown5240]

@@styledbysamvay I mean you could try wearing a wig and just show what it would look like that way?

[@Mandapuggo_]

Sam Vay Can you do bang trimming? I have bangs and since I can’t go to the salon to get them trimmed I’m forced to either learn how to cut them myself or grow them out. And I know nothing about hair cutting lol

[@courtneylynn1854]

@@madelinebrown5240 the wig is a good idea actually, I've only seen one girl doing that on KZbin, I don't remember her name. I love these videos with the mannequin as well tho.

[@AprilQuintanilla-um2ol]

I lost a lot of hair last year due to post partum hair loss, change in medication, and covid. The new hair growth is finally long enough for me to try and blend it into my hair. Long story short, I accidently cut too much in the front, and this video helped me fix that and achieve the layered look I was going for to begin with. Thank you!

[@afri.latina8912]

You are the best teacher!!!! PLEAAASE do more!!! :)

[@Partybigsis]

@samvay where did you get that stand? Love your work by the way 😘

[@janamedvedova1307]

Thank you so much for this video! ❤️ I am wearing this type of haircut basically all my life and I grew so sick of it! ... Every single time I get to go to a salon (not often at all), I ask for a blunt cut and to even out my hair to finally get rid of those layers... And every single time, all hairdressers used this kind of a technique on my hair which is just soooo wrong. All the time I have been blaming my own hair, thinking it was a spontaneous hair breakage in the back of my head or something like that. Now I understand! I don't know what and why the ladies I visited misunderstood about my request (maybe something about my mother language but I really doubt it)... I guess I am going to show this but mostly your another blunt-cut tutorial video to my mom or my boyfriend or whoever because that's what I am asking for since years! Thank you sooo so much, it's a life-changer for me! ❤️ Ps: Of course, you have a new subscriber. Best wishes! 😊🌸

[@SparkElleBeauty]

This was definitely the most helpful video for layering my own hair. I went through tons of videos to see what the easiest way to cut my hair without making it look ratchet, and this is exactly what I was looking for. Not too complicated & you made it very simple to understand and follow. Thank you so much for this!

Great tutorial. I’m a student with a layered cut tomorrow so this was extremely helpful! Thanks!

[@hayley7916]

thank you for this! i love how detailed this video is too, way more helpful than other videos i watched

[@StinaBaby1221]

This was so helpful! I’ve been cutting my own hair (super curly) and I went to someone I thought was reputable and they made one side of my head look like a box and seeing where you match up your lengths cleared some stuff up for me. For the past couple of weeks I would just randomly cut a curl that stood out like a couple of end but every day I cowash or refresh

[@lorenae3000]

You should watch Farah Dukai's hair cutting tutorials. My curls never looked better, nicely layered and full of volume.

Wow Sam You rock for this you made it so easy for me thank you thank you thank you 😊

[@angeliquehernandez819]

I was cutting hair for 6 months with a corporate company and I loved doing layered haircuts. I would say do perimeter first and then work on the layering process so you have an idea of the longest length you have to work with. This was a good refresh especially with the face perimeter!

[@stacyreed6798]

Girl you the bomb. You explained it perfectly ❤️

[@emilyharrison6770]

Finally, the first video to explain layers! Your beach ball/pie explanation was super helpful! Can you also take it a step further and explain how you might use thinning shears in addition to layers for us thick-haired gals?

I was wondering why you directed the hair to the back on the left side of the model and why not on the right side. And also, could you please tell me what would happen if i bring the section all the way forward when cutting the side layers? Thank you so much and sorry 🥺 I'm asking too much I think. Thank you so much for all the amazing content on this channel. TBH if it weren't because of you, I think i would've gave up on becoming a hairstylist 🥺♥️♥️ thanks again!

[@styledbysamvay]

Aw thank you! I directed the front hair back on both sides, watch it again ;) And you can bring the side sections forward when you cut your layers if you want the sides to be layered more, it just depends on how you want the hair to fall. Before making any cuts, just hold your fingers in place and see where the hair would fall once you let it down. The great thing about practicing on a mannequin is that you can test out different cuts and you don't have to worry if it comes out weird or too short :)

[@josemartinchilet1810]
