In this video, I show a quick technique on how to achieve short laters on top but keeping the length on the back & sides. A lot of me or scene haircuts & hairstyles are like this. Please be careful and do NOT cut your fingers. Use a ponytail holder if possible.

I have been trying to get a shag from professional stylists for years, but for some reason they can't frigging do it and I always walk out with something else (that is usually way shorter than I'd wanted). Thank you for this video. I'll definitely try it.

[@kareng1765]

I had the same problem in the 70's - just could'nt get the shag I wanted.

[@donnaarmstrong1193]

Thank you so much! I've been just pulling my fine, straight hair back into a ponytail or bun for years and I'm sick of it. Then I searched "layered bob salonguy" and this was one of the many videos you've uploaded. I decided to give it a try and it came out perfectly but also released my hair to the waves I'd forgotten I had. I love it!

[@cheyennesromero2396]

You are such a genius you're literally the only KZbinr that does haircuts for pretty much every look I'm looking for please keep doing more videos especially on crazy texture and layers you really help us beginners!

[@galemaurer2123]

Awesome, my sister is a hair stylist in n.j and would go to hair show's in n.y all the time, she paid a couple hundred dollars for one show she said lasted maybe a half an hour, and this was what they showed, one of the most simplest styles to do, but one of the most used. Love it

[@pauladavis115]

I was in college with my thick curly hair and I looked a fright. I knew a hairdresser socially. I walked past his shop and he saw me and dragged me in to his chair for a cut. Best hair style I ever had. Everyone who knows how to do this has retired or died. When I was younger I could do it myself.

[@barbbethesunshine8632]

You are so right...they don't get it ( I'm 55) Thank you for giving us a true gift!! I'm off to do this cut on myself!

WOW!! I ACTUALLY CUT MY HAIR LAST WEEK LIKE THIS, EXCEPT I DIDN'T TIE ALL OF IT UP LIKE YOU DID, I JUST SEPARATED MY BANGS AND THE FRONT OF MY HAIR, PUT THE REST UP IN A CLIP, CUT MY BANGS & THE FRONT OF MY HAIR, THEN CUT SOME ON TOP!!! IT TURNED OUT GREAT!!! NEXT TIME ILL TRY THIS😊😁😁😁😁 YOU HAVE TO BE CREATIVE, HAVE FUN WITH IT AND TRY NOT TO CUT TOO MUCH OFF!!! IF YOU DO , WELL IT WILL GROW RIGHT BACK! LOL🤣🤣🤣

[@diananavickas1689]

This is how I learned one of my first haircuts (the shag) when I was in beauty school in the early seventies, but we just weren't sure how to finish it! How funny how everything in hair (and fashion, for that matter) just comes around and goes around. This was a great tutorial tho!!... Thanks! :0

[@TheSalonGuy]

Thx so much

[@ivorwm2291]

It's 2018 and I'm 63. I've finally let my hair grow into a shoulder length. I think this is how I'm going to cut it. Thank you for the tutorials. I used to groom dogs. LOL. Good luck and best wishes for continuing success

[@sweetnsassy4329]

I learned in a similar fashion by making the first cut at the top of the head and just bringing all the rest of the hair up to the length of the first cut.

[@d1i2a3n4n5e6]

I was licensed in 1975.. I hear ya sister! it was the Farrah cut and the Dorothy Hamill staple cuts of the day. LOL. God, those Farrah blo outs.. took forever.

Word

[@devilsdaughter3877]

+TheSalonGuy you don't really cut the hair correctly where emo hair is cut up in three sections 1. The fan out 2. the wave/bangs 3.just the ready of your hair

[@devilsdaughter3877]

I meant rest of your hair

[@chrissy1310]

I am going to do this method and curl it back for a Farrah!!!! Thanks buddy!

[@angelrose9117]

My second time cutting my hair using this method. I went shorter this time, as I cut less off the first time just incase. Wicked stuff. Thanks again. My only question would be how far back is the positioning of this meant to be on the head, as it's a little hard to tell front on but hopefully I got it right.

[@jocelyngail4196]

This works beautifully... I just cut bangs eyebrow length after , cause I can't stand pushing hair outta my eyes all the time Thank you

+TheSalonGuy.........Thank you! I visited my parents today, and I told her about your video. I showed her my new cut that I did on myself. She said to me "That's is the best haircut I have ever seen on you!" (And I usually go to get my hair cut by stylists). I told her to watch your video later. You are a great teacher......real, approachable, down to earth. Everybody needs every penny these days, and this will save me so much! Plus, I look forward to when I give myself another haircut. LOL. From now on, I won't give a splitend a chance!!!!!!!! Hahaha. Thanks again! :)

[@carol7365]

I agree Angela. I'm going to try it also. The last few haircuts I PAID for were awful. So I was out the money and had to put up with a terrible haircut. Thanks for giving me the courage to try this myself!

I can't get past the idea that this could go so wrong XD I've seen way to many hair cut disasters on KZbin to try these. Doesn't mean I don't trust your technique, I just don't trust my skill.

[@calypsowarrior9061]

This is awesome thank you, cause i cut my hair and screwed it up big time and now I can fix it.

[@ruekico]

Will it work with a curly hair?

[@squigwart]

I just did this tutorial like 30 mins ago and it turned out great!! XD My hair was about the length of the mannequins maybe a little shorter. I used regular scissors and only did the stump part. Ill prob trim my bangs tomorrow though. And I made the stump bigger because I didnt want my hair (bangs in particular) to be that short in some places. This worked really well and I will def do this again. P.S. this was my first time ever cutting my hair. If anybody has questions about it id love to answer

[@UrMom-cg9pe]

Is the ponytail supposed to be like on top of your head, or let it sit a little back

[@squigwart]

@@UrMom-cg9pe like on top of your head kinda like where that bump is on a baseball hat or where you let your headphones rest

[@amberkoon2919]

Ugh so it's supposed to be all of your hair in your hand though right? The hair in the back in the video is just wouldnt stay in your hand at the top of the head right?

[@squigwart]

@@amberkoon2919 not sure i get quite wat ur asking, but not all of the hair on the back of my head fit in my hand at the top of my head. If thats wat ur asking. Just make sure u dont use a razor if u decide to shape it- or atleast use a very sharp one, cuz i gave myself really bad split ends and ended up shaving my head a few weeks ago to get rid of them. Now i gotta let it all grow back lul :P

[@sonyjobin1896]

[@saminanaveed5334]

very nice and simple way you gave us to understand .thanks .plz do some more simple ways of complex hair cuts.

[@Eclecticajewels]

I just did this (in a minimal way - I tested the technique first by only cutting a small amount of the ponytail - I raised my hand holding the ponytail so only a few inches would be cut) and IT WORKED GREAT!!! My only questions are these; 1) if I don’t want the overall length to be as short as your demonstration.....HOW Can I do it again but not cut as much ? 2) my hairdresser gave me the layered bangs I’d asked for but her “BANGS” go as far down as my CHIN!!!!! How she thought I meant “BANGS” which I said I wanted LAYERED to mean “down to my CHIN” I have no idea?!?!? (Note: my hair is just about shoulder length or about an inch below) How does a hairdresser think I wanted my “bangs” on shoulder length hair to be at my CHIN?? Lol, I don’t have an ostrich sized NECK! So, how do I trim my bangs so they’re at about the length to around the middle to tip of my nose??

[@TheSalonGuy]

Just cut them but not as short and do it on dry hair.

[@Eclecticajewels]

TheSalonGuy I followed your demo from this video with my bangs and the length part w/your ponytail cut/trim section (for my length and shoulders angling) and I’m 110% PLEASED with the results!!!! 👍👍 It’s the FIRST time I’ve EVER been so bold and brave where my hair is concerned, actually cutting it this much myself and I just want to thank you SO MUCH!!! I really couldn’t be HAPPIER! 😁 Your videos are GREAT and so helpful. Once again, TY for taking the time & effort and for also sharing your talent with all of us😁😁👏👏👏👏👏

[@geekysonic3359]

im so bad at cutting this is a neat trick. Thank you!

[@RavenVargas27]

That is beautiful I love layer cuts

[@bookishyogi]

Awesome. I appreciate the professionalism too. I did it and added my own side swept bangs about eyebrow level and vertical down. (My profile pic is prior this cut btw). I am very happy with the results. However, I purposely did longer layers (cut closer to the ends then in this video) thinking I could always do it shorter if decided. I ended up keeping it this way! The longer layers keeps the funky look but more idk, mature? (I’m almost 30 now alright). I was concerned at first because my part is pretty far right and if you cut it in the middle like you do in this video then part it to one side, it makes one side shorter than other... well turns out the asymmetry is part of the look I wanted and doesn’t stand out the way I thought it would. I also have really thick hair and was concerned it would be hard to cut straight across because of it... it was hard and my hand was cramping for how long it took to get through it all lol but it worked the same.. Love this cut, thank you so much. Not the first time I’ve cut my own hair by any means but it’s the first time I did and felt like I’d just walked out of the salon, so fresh and purposeful looking (as opposed to a botched diy). iiiiiit’s a keeper.

with the hair that falls down when you pull it up; If I were to bring a section down with the hair that fell, do you think it would blend after I cut with this technique? I hope I'm making sense.

[@TheSalonGuy]

Yes and you can always bring the pieces up that fell to make sure or blend just over direct so you don't cut the length
