How to layer fine hair - tutorial for hairdressers

[@sheilahsstudio6121]

This guy is a tremendous teacher. It is a real gift to be able to explain technical information in a way that people outside your field can grasp.

If only hairdressesr like this lived outside of youtube.... There would be so many happy people in the world that would not be looking at this great videos

[@charleshall9755]

That is so true! I can't seem to ever get a decent cut and if I could find a real professional I would drive a hundred miles to get a good haircut!

[@silvermont331]

Charles Hall always when you walk to a new salon ask the reception to put you with a master stylist or the most expert stylist that salon has. Be prepared to pay what that professional stylists weight in term of experience and education. I guarantee you you will be so happy you got what you asked for. Real educated stylists it’s hard to find .. you will only find them at very high end salons not the corners cheap ones ! Im s H stylist and I’ve attended high education classes with this company and those classes are very expensive - but only driven and real professionals know how to. And that’s why you will pay a lot of money for that haircut u really want . My hair cuts starts @ $150 + why?bc I’m well educated in my field and I know I’m worth it!

@@silvermont331 I agree with you that a GOOD stylist is worth investing in developing a relationship..after all being pleased with your hair is crucial to maintaining a great sense of positivity about your appearance- that expertise is the reason we aren't in the bathroom w/ our cutting shears and trying to follow ourselves a KZbin video.. Here's what I don't understand..often the great haircuts I remember getting as a teenager, when $16.50 - $22.00 was the going rate for a ' master stylist ' can't reliable be had, without getting lucky and being told you need to spend $150.00 before a 20% tip and to maintain at home..that much again in ' quality products '.. What's more I see stylist here confirm that when they were in school 40 years ago, this was the way they were taught to provide a haircut! I go into a salon looking for someone who received the basic education in learning these techniques to begin with-- The additional ' expertise ' should be the result of learning to apply these principles to a variety of different hair types and individual features, not learning to cut hair successfully. While it is a fact that everything costs more..my bill..your education.. we both have the responsibility to determine that we are making wise purchasing decisions.. A happy customer is a repeat customer..one who will provide you with a plethora of referrals from other customers who share that commitment to patronizing an establishment they trust and the resulting Faith to purchase both your up sell services for color or treatments and the product referrals that add to your bottom line.. Yes hair services are more than than were in the 80's and 90's but you guys have to recognize that most of us don't make 8-10 times what people did back then. Business success still comes from offering a quality service at a great price point- your ability to deliver this will provide the competitive advantage that allows you to have the financial security and working conditions that suit your desires.

[@kday9993]

This is really helpful. I always ask for layers at the salon, since my fine hair always has more body, more even curl, and more volume when it has layers. The stylist will argue with me every single time, insisting I need to stick to all one length with fine hair. After arguing awkwardly about who knows my hair better, I fold before I become angry, she cuts it all one length, then it just hangs limp and the natural wave is off-kilter. Then I give her money. So frustrating, and it's the same routine at every salon! I now hate going to the salon. This video is encouraging, and I might just try this myself!!

[@jeremysmith3318]

I agree. There are too many incompetent stylists out there who don't listen, and, unfortunately, they tend to be males. I had a problem with my daughter's hair where her thick, wavy hair was extremely dry on the top layer and constantly matted. Her godmother had been taking her to her salon and I had suggested layering it. My advice was ignored by all and the problems persisted. Too many salons seem to focus on high maintenance hair styles and selling products. I ended up personally cutting her hair in layers and that solution worked great. Her hair looks much healthier and is much easier to maintain - tangles are almost non-existent.

[@suesmith3744]

K Day I do sympathize , but remember at the end of the day it is YOUR hair , you have to live with it every day not your stylist ❗️. If your currant stylist refuses to listen to you find one who WILL 👍🏼. 💕

You are SO right. Hopefully the techniques in this video can become a standard for all stylists.

[@tonyaphillips8251]

@@suesmith3744 I am 54 and have had only ONE stylist in my adult life do it as asked, its not as simple s to find another stylist. i live in the Dallas area and have access to 'master" stylist and have paid as much as $125 for a cut, and NO, it was no different than the $35 cut. I even went to a redken school in July, was given a typical hair cut and after asking for a technique to help my crown area ( the reason for going there in the first place because of a sam villa video/technique ) was told there was really nothing that would help other than teasing it and using a few redken products. shrug shoulders. I FB Sam Villa and was instructed to use redken salon locator, it directed me to a Walmart salon ?????

[@frankieaddams3937]

I have super fine hair. I have lived with it many many many years. I stopped going to hairdressers 30+ years ago and now cut my own hair. NO ONE knew how to cut fine hair back then. And I only do a "passable" job now, as I cut my hair when it's dry, and I don't follow any rules except to angle the scissors to try to achieve the layer I want. I hope present-day stylists watch your video because you absolutely nailed it. If you lived near me I would start going to YOU to cut my hair. Hopefully your technique becomes a STANDARD in your industry. Thank-you for sharing your expertise.

[@heels4heal]

No one knows how to cut super fine hair still. I refuse to pay money for the job I can do myself! I've been given an axe job on my baby fine hair way too many times.

[@brookashlee6992]

as a stylist who has a lot of clients with incredibly fine hair- and trouble with letting go of fundamental lessons- this was so helpful. I’ve always grown really frustrated with not quite having the same results in the sides that I do in the back, and have this fear that my clients aren’t getting what they want. this was really eye opening and definitely something to add to my repertoire of techniques for fine hair

[@theoryofpersonality1420]

Being able to cut fine hair and curly and wavy hair dry will definitely set you apart. As well as using square layers on fine and wavy and curly hair. Almost no one can do these. Its making people turn away from the industry and towards videos like this to do it themselves.

Great tutorial, this video has inspired me to enroll at my nearest cosmetology school. My wife has thin medium length and for the last 4 years she complains that she cannot find a stylist to cut her hair the way she would like it due to their lack of experience for addressing "thin" hair so she just flips her hair over and cuts it with some cheap scissors but her hair still needs some finishing touches. Because of this video I am going to help my wife, she will feel more beautiful and confident. Thanks again for this awesome video post. I need to order the same scissors from Sam Villa (thank you Sam)

I have been to many hairdressers and most do not know how to cut. I love this video. You are very good.

[@HeyyyEverybody]

Is there some language I can use to ask my stylist for this? She always tells me my hair is too fine for layers.

[@Iloveflowers2024]

Mine says the same thing. I don't get it.

[@annagarza6623]

Make sure you ask for a long enough consultation so your stylist has enough time or contact them before and just say hey I came across this Sam Villa video for layers on fine hair and I was wondering if this would be a technique we could try on my hair! If she truly cares about making you happy, she’ll watch the video and either try it out or explain to you why it may not be right for your hair. If she doesn’t want to watch the video then find a new stylist because we are here for YOU,we should always be learning, and personally, I love learning new techniques and Sam Villa has great educational videos.

@Heyyy Everybody! Change your Hairstylist !!! There are always better one you can search for.

[@Mailmeprotons]

I always used to end up having to show them a couple pictures for us to be on the same page-but DEFINITELY have them explain back to you what you want done once they say they understand, in as much detail as they can. That's helped me immensely---worse case scenario, at least you'll be able to tell how far off they may be.

[@jaythethinker3994]

Ask for concave layers. If they ask you what’s that then fine a different stylist.

[@gigilaroux762]

So many on KZbin with trendy cuts forget to keep the density. Then they look so heavy thru the cheeks. This is fantastic how you explained it with regards to behind the ear corners.

WOW!! You are seriously one of the best communicators and educators I’ve heard in my 30 yrs of cutting hair. I really look forward to your haircuts. They help me stay current and better my skills. YOU ARE AWESOME❣️

Thanks so much Shelley!

[@girlinterrupted9145]

Love all the tutorials .. had no idea there were professional stylists offering their educational videos on here. I have been cutting hair for years. I’ve had a little training but my career took a different direction:) so I just give hair cuts to friends and family. I’m truly enjoying learning about the different types of hair as well as how hair grows at different points and the cuts that work best for each type . I appreciate these videos and can’t wait to try out the new techniques..

[@cthepower]

I took just enough cosmetology classes when I was in high school to be confident enough to cut my own hair and my family’s hair. I’ve always struggled with doing layers in my fine hair especially because I like to wear it longer than shoulderlength. This was so helpful and I appreciate it very very much. I almost broke down and went to a beautician to get the weight lifted out of the top part of my hair. I’m just so glad that I was able to do it myself with your guidance. It’s much easier for me to except small errors that I might make then to deal with a huge one mistake that that I’ve paid for and takes a year to grow out. Immense gratitude! 😘

[@candi_7]

Luv how he took his time, explaining slowly & calmly(not rushed). I've been using this technique but never really realized why. Thanks for breaking it down. Looks great!

[@GrizzlyUrsusArctos]

Beautiful. It’s so hard to find a stylist who can layer my fine hair. Great tutorial.

[@kalimatayyeba7746]

I have no words to express how thankful I am. It is truly amazing tutorial

[@katiemccalltv]

As a person with long fine hair I really appreciate this! People literally give me mullets with zero hair left on the sides and they texturize my hair into these airy pointy layers that do nothing for me. I end up with what I call “air hair” because it’s like sections of it will be so thinner that they end in points of 1-2 hairs. Why do hairdressers do this? How can I as a client get what I’m asking for? I’ve said “don’t connect, don’t face frame, cut it blunt, no more texture needed” and I get ignored most of the time. I’ve had one person disconnect my layers and the next person comes in and reconnects them so all the growing out I just did for a year is GONE in one haircut. 😐 if you can give me help with language I would LOVE that. I want long fat layers no back layering a bit of layering on the sides and a side-swept bang. I’ve referred to this as a child’s haircut because the simplest cut is the best on MY hair. People take chunks out of it and my clip in extension collection shows it! They take the hair I NEED. And I have to “borrow” all of my back hair just to have any on the side!!

[@rain3743]

You want movement in the sides and no layers in the back right? They need to build graduation at your face frame, so when they cut for a face frame, the elevation is lower and the hair is combed forward and down, as opposed to high and angled. I section out the side perimeter and don't include it in any layering to avoid that cut away feeling. I visually blend very fine hair and cut it dry. A side swept fringe should not be an issue. I don't understand that problem.

[@justdawndb]

@@rain3743 apparently you don't understand because you already know what needs to be done for a great result. What I see so often are stylists that are "stuck" in the way they were originally taught, their safety zone. Continuing education is a must. I contented to show my stylist two of these great tapes before she touches it again! I'm glad there are stylist like you that know and LISTEN!

Awesome video thank you! I cut my daughters fine hair and I have the issues you discuss at the start. Last cut I did had similar angles to this but then I had to take a diamond section at the crown to kindof blend the layering because of her crown being much more dense and the layers starting as a bit of a shelf. This seems like a better and quicker method. Thank you!

Andrew you are by far the best haircutting teacher! You explain concepts well and take your time to allow us to absorb it all, LOL. But I must ask for more of a reason about the back layering technique to understand -- What's the difference between turning your cutting angle to horizontal on a 90 degree horizontal layer from simply combing and cutting the layers at 45 degrees instead? Does it create a curved cut or something?

[@johnroekoek12345]

7.39 The reason why more and more people don't visit a hairdresser anymore. The client wants this haircut, but the hairdresser MUST blend for his/her own safety feeling. So the costumer goes home with the wrong - but blended - haircut, looks disappointed in the mirror 15 times a day for 2 months, while the hairdresser can't remember her anymore, and she tries to find another hairdresser who does the hair she wants. She considers cutting her own hair.

I will show this video to my next hairdresser with any shame. Thank you🙏

Ive been trying to find a hair stylist to do this type of layering. This is old school layers. I tried to explain this method before I saw this video to my current hair stylist and she looked at me like I was crazy. You know, the "you don't know what your talking about" look. I am going to get a wig like this and bring it with me so I can demonstrate. 😂😉

Great video! I have fine hair and androgenic alopecia on top of that (I.e. Thinning at the crown just behind hairline). Do you have any tips for haircuts that hide this?

[@tomjones2157]

Sideswept bangs covers the thinning front hairline :)

[@joangoonetilleke7602]

Excellent teacher! very clearly explained! Thank you.

[@Realeye66]

Cheers bro , marvellous 😊

[@samvillahair]

Thanks ✌️

[@desireeadrian5722]

This video was great! Do you have any suggestions for those of us who want this cut on fine wavy/curly (2b-3a) thin hair? I want more layers to give more wavy/curly movement and volume, but general layers thin my ends too much. I really appreciate your time and suggestions.

I LOVE this haircut! Thank you Andrew!

[@Julia-mm2tq]

What would you do for those who do not have enough hair on their temples? Such as male pattern hairloss

[@kendradaniels1831]

Are you visually establishing your top guide? How did you establish that?

[@jadesdream2212]

After so many botched haircuts.... This is EXACTLY the technique I need a stylist to use for my hair! Makes so much sense! Now my question.... would a stylist be offended if I asked them to watch this?!? Because... really....how do you explain this????

[@gailjones774]

I noticed that he took his TIME cutting her hair. He was precise. Many hairdressers grab scissors and do a fast cut and the results show it. Love how this looks and was surprised that the hair did look fuller. When you pay top dollar you deserve a nice haircut.

[@totoso9253]

I love your tutorials

[@charlesmiles85]

Always awesome Andrew! I’m not in the profession, but after years of bad haircuts as a man as well you inspire me to want to try to enter the field. I’m always fixing my own haircuts and your way of doing things is so elegant and precise and cutting edge, pun intended lol. Clearly license requirements don’t make people better even though nearly all US states require it, bogus. As always people are only as good as they want to be, and most people choose mediocre unfortunately. Great work as always. 👍🏻 Do you have a training course and how to get started and licensed? I’m completely new to the side of becoming one, where to start what to do???

[@samvillahair]

Hey Charles! You are very right... just being licensed doesn't mean they are a good hairdresser unfortunately. Licensing is really more about public safety than becoming a great stylist which is in dire need of a huge facelift in our country. That being said, really the first step for becoming a licensed hairdresser is going and visiting some schools. Also look into the laws in your state... you may be able to apprentice under someone instead of going to school.

[@SweetStuffOnMonarchLane]

Your question made me think of my own license. Here's a fun fact: in my state of Michigan, you have to have a license to cut hair, but you don't have to have a license to radiate people, as in X-Rays and Computed Tomography. Crazy huh? Patients can thank the doctor lobbyists for that! (I'm a REGISTERED Radiologic Technologist)

[@charlesmiles85]

@@SweetStuffOnMonarchLane wow crazy!

[@kassandraherrera5858]

So helpful thank you ✨‼️❤️

[@samvillahair]

Glad it was helpful!

[@maryjopozorski3455]

I have very fine (cornsilk) type hair. My last 4 stylists spend about 5 mins layering!!! Your technique would work for me but how do I ask my hair stylist to watch your video? Always looking for a great cut!! Thank you

[@samvillahair]

Thats kind of a touchy thing isn't it Mary :-) You could always just say "I was looking at youtube videos for fine hair and this video popped up. Can I send it to you to see if you think it's something that might work for my hair? I trust your opinion." That way you are still leaving the professionalism in their hands.

[@jadesdream2212]

@@samvillahair Great Tip! I was wondering how you could ask your stylist to watch the video without offending him/her.

[@avalonrawling7888]

Great video, very clear instructional technique. I feel like I could almost do that on myself!

[@nola1439]

Is it possible to have long fine hair (at least a couple inches past shoulder length) and do this? I feel like at a longer length it’ll look very stringy.

[@AZ-nb2ep]

I would love to get my hair cut by you, you seem to be extremely committed to your trade and very knowledgeable, so calm and so relaxed, you understand thin hair dilemmas perfectly, where is your salon, please tell me. Or refer me to someone similar, I live in Atlanta Georgia.

[@imogen9964]

I'd love to know how the principals of this might change if the client wears a deep side parting! Please help!

[@samvillahair]

please send me the name of the video and artist and I will ask them to review and respond

[@Tazbocat]

This is exactly what I am looking for!! Thanks! !
