[@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!

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.

the person responding to you in such a negative way is actually reflecting their own insecurities. It's nothing about you and all about them. Ignore it. I'm personally very grateful for your videos.

They are reflecting their own insecurities from their incompetence. I have a feeling that stylist had clients show her Justin’s videos and she couldn’t replicate his results. People are realizing what a good haircut and styling should should look like now!

[@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.

[@Joelswinger34]

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.

[@cathyhopkinson865]

I’m a retired hairstylist and honestly I would have LOVED having you as a resource when I was a stylist. No two stylist are exactly the same and everyone’s technique is slightly different. We were always learning by watching other stylist in the salon. Haters are gonna hate and you can never please them, so go on about your day. ❤

[@justinhickox]

Now that's a good stylist! You really can't please everyone. Thank you so much for your support, Cathy!

[@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.

[@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

[@annerohrbacker6097]

[@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?😂❤❤❤

[@justinhickox]

Wow - to go from crying to dancing - that's big. Happy that you found someone who communicates and works with your wishes each time. Asking questions is SO important. Thanks for your support - I appreciate it a ton.

[@part.9094]

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😊

[@justinhickox]

That's great to hear. Love that your stylist is always learning and open - that's awesome. Thank you for watching!

[@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.

[@kathygann7632]

Please, please, please continue to show me how to fix my hair myself! Even if I spend a fortune at a hairdresser’s, if I don’t know how to get the look at home, it’s not going to look good. When you video the process, I can go back again and again until I get the results I like. I don’t “get” it fast enough at the hairdresser’s to recreate it.

[@justinhickox]

Thank you so much! This has always been my purpose for my channel and I’m so happy to hear that it’s working! I appreciate your feedback, a ton!

[@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!

[@justinhickox]

Thank you for always promoting the stylist! That's huge for us.

[@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. This time volume bs control and asked my stylist to show me how to control my hair back from my face so I could show off drop earrings. I absolutely loved what he did, it made me look younger!! You give us the language that allows us to communicate more effectively with our stylist. Thank you.

[@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

As a cosmetologist myself over 30 years, I appreciate the opportunity always for continuing education that you and some of the other professionals provide in your content. I have picked up a few helpful tips along the way. As far as it hurting the industry, 1, not a lot of people attempt to do their own hair cuts at home ( at least ones I know) and 2., a lot of what I learned in hair school was for the license exam. The really useful practical experience I got was on the salon floor after I finished school.

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.

[@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.

[@janellewilson6144]

As a hair client, I think the more knowledge I have about the whys, how’s of hair, the better. Can’t understand why anyone would think otherwise. Keep up what you do here with your educational videos. Your content and teaching ability for us not in the profession is well organized and just makes me appreciate your profession even more. So, in my opinion, you definitely not “off base”. Thank you!😊

[@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

[@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!

[@ShaRaeBurr]

The “public is putting bread and butter on their “licensed hairstylists” tables so they should be educating their clients better vs hating on someone like you who is actually helping educate the “clientele “….massive props to you for sharing what you share💓newest subscriber!xoxo

[@justinhickox]

Thank you so much! I appreciate that a ton and welcome to the family!

[@sandydwilk]

Thank you for explaining how we can continue the haircut blowout at home. As a client it is frustrating to get a great haircut and not recreate it at home. Thank you again.

[@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!

[@kimbohaze1382]

I have been watching your videos for a couple of years now and I still get regular haircuts and have the same stylist that I have had for about ten years. These videos have allowed me to better communicate with my stylist. There's always someone with a chip on their shoulder that wants to be critical. Keep up the GREAT work and it's about time for you to go on a hike and give us some "views that don't suck!"

[@justinhickox]

It's getting warmer here, so hikes are in my near future! Thanks for watching, Kim

[@dawnyamohs9828]

I got a blunt bob cut 24 hours ago and this education video has taught me so much, please ignore the cranky comments. You are a treasure!

[@rOnda88]

Sharing styling tips like this actually makes me want to run to the salon! Most people I know aren’t that great at blowing out & styling their own hair, even when they know how. Speaking for myself, I get in a hurry, my arm starts to hurt, & my hairstyle ends up looking flat & frizzy. So, any instruction is very beneficial, & I appreciate it!!

[@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.

[@maryparadis1573]

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

[@lauragilkey4921]

You're talking about the 'cowlick' right?

[@sherriboyer2859]

Your videos are definitely a help and not a hindrance to the industry. My daughter-in-law is a hair stylist, and her clientele continues to grow leaps and bounds. As the public becomes more educated concerning professional techniques, the more they desire the services of a true professional in order to achieve the styles that they have seen online. You merely help the public to understand from a stylist's perspective what it it is that they truly want. In the past, I didn't always know the exact verbiage to use to describe what I wanted the stylist to do. My lack of knowledge and ability to properly communicate what I wanted caused me to be disappointed in the outcome. I didn't always get what I was trying to describe. The more I watch your videos, the more I am able to correctly relay to my stylist what it is that I am wanting. Consequently, I now get the color, cut and style that I desire instead of the former hits and misses that resulted from using the wrong words to describe what I wanted. Additionally, you provide tremendous help that helps me to maintain the style in between services. So helpful. Thank you so much!

[@renwot3435]

I personally am infatuated with hair and have been since I was 14 years old, I'm now 53. I have always coloured my own hair, trimmed it and also cut my family's hair, not always very well I might add but I love to give it a go. I'm not trained in any way to do hairdressing and do not wish to have a career in hairdressing, however I will never stop experimenting with cutting and colouring hair. So, it's people like you that I am truly very grateful for ♥️. The reality is that there will always be people like me who like to do their own hair or others hair, without needing a diploma to do so. The Tips and tricks that you provide are priceless and provide us with a better understanding of the World of Hair. Thank you so much for your wonderful videos. The hairdresser who commented negatively perhaps has a lack of confidence in their own skills and therefore feels a little threatened, they may not be as good as they wish to be? I believe that professional hairdressers will never be out of business if they are good enough and don't overcharge. Please keep doing what you are doing and listen to the majority of comments as they are the true voice ✂️✂️✂️

[@rebeccasarver8674]

Your videos help me to learn how to style my hair and communicate with my stylist so that I get what I want in my haircut.

[@justinhickox]

Thank you! That''s my whole purpose, I'm so glad it's helping!

[@daisyrosario3438]

Your videos are excellent easy to follow I am sure that others think so too! Thank you Justin!

[@justinhickox]

Thank you so much! I sincerely appreciate that.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@lisadavies9967]

people havent got the time or money to correct what they are doing wrong with the tools they use on their hair, thank you for showing us and going into depth and advising what to do, im saying keep going on what you are doing your helping so many people cx

[@justinhickox]

Thank you! I truly appreciate that and I'm so glad to hear I'm helping!

[@navajoredpilled6028]

I do not want to go into a salon. The waiting, I think they take longer than necessary and I am not one for small talk. Your videos are what I need. The comments shown, I think are haters. Keep doing what you are doing!!! Thank you for your instructions and thorough explanations. 👍👍

[@pbear7814]

You have taught me how to trim my bangs, flat iron, what products to use, and what to ask for when I get a hair cut AND, no matter how MUCH you teach, I am STILL going to continue going to my stylist because I HATE doing my own hair. Thank you for all you do, Justin.

[@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!!!

[@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.

[@kerrykent1427]

You are not off base ! I appreciate your knowledge and demonstration. I actually save videos to show my stylist and he has no problem with it. He wants to make sure I'm satisfied with my style. So , I say please, keep doing your videos and demonstration. Thank you!

[@heidikern1719]

I think what you provide is valuable and not off base at all. I used to have a stylist who would turn my back to the mirror while she styled my hair so she could turn me around and give me the wow effect when it was finished. I explained to her that that didn't teach me how to give myself the same style at home in-between salon visits. What you do is far better and much appreciated. Thank you. Ignore the haters!

[@justinhickox]

Haters have been ignored! Thanks Heidi for your sweet words. I appreciate you!

Good morning from Colorado

Morning! What part of Colorado?

[@cherylprice979]

Western Colorado, Hotchkiss

[@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.

[@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

[@janne6957]

i really appreciated your teaching that lady how to style her bob. I don't go to the beauty salon every time I wash my hair, so I need to know how to do it myself at home. I also appreciated your telling me how to get my bob cut. I told my hair dresser what you said, and she finally understood what I've wanted for the last six months (Not that she didn't try to do what I wanted before. She's a sweetheart) And for heaven's sake. I'm not going to try to cut my own hair because you showed me how it's done. The professional's job is still secure.

[@cynthiadurant7804]

Question, my hair is falling out, what do I do?

[@justinhickox]

Great question! It depends on what's causing it. I actually have a video coming out next Tuesday that talks ALL about that! You'll love it!

[@cynthiadurant7804]

Well I really think it’s because of Covid, not sure! I’m going bald on the top of my head! Thanks

[@amandaharvey6683]

You absolutely are not off base. I have always struggled with styling my hair, and your videos are exactly what I have needed. Also, we are representing your work so, you as a stylist, should give us the best tools to display your talent. I work in physical therapy, and we explain to a patient why we want you to do a certain exercise and how it will help. Same logic, I think ?

[@sirensongpamc5408]

You are not off base! It is so hard to explain what you want to your stylist in the correct terms. This helps me to understand what my stylist does to my hair and why and helps me understand why when I ask for specific things it will not achieve the result I think it will. Love your content. Doesn’t mean I want to cut my own hair or be bothered to color my own hair. My current stylist knows how to get the color I want-I don’t. 👍🏻

[@justinhickox]

I'm glad your stylist has it figured out for you! Thanks for watching.

[@UESGrl21]

I really love detailed explanations like this. You’re a gifted teacher. That poster’s comment is funny to me. It’s like selling someone a Ferrari and being offended when they want the care/maintenance details.

[@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 !

[@mamacon5]

You are a wonderful educator, in hair styling and care. I use to be a hairdresser. You are so understandable, give such good tips and on top of it all, you are nice guy. I trust you with hair care and styling, more than anyone on KZbin. Keep on doing what you are doing! Don’t let criticism get in the way of your expertise.

Thank you so much for this! I sincerely appreciate it. Always means a lot when it comes from another professional. How long did you do hair?

[@peace-luv533]

You are helping women explain exactly what we want &/or don't want. I think it's fantastic that you take the time bc everyone's hair is different & you do a wonderful job at helping us understand why our hair doesn't do what the girl in the picture does. You make us aware of our face shapes, what's is aging, or how to lift the face... thank you so much for your expertise & your time!!!

[@janetthompson4453]

[@kye51961]

You are very informative, and help us all to achieve the look we want when we get home. Like most other jobs/hobbies, there are always some who do not want the general public to know the helpful behind the scenes tips, and insist on keeping the info to themselves. I found this exact problem in a photographic club I joined, with several top members bluffing over any questions I had. Caro

[@barbarasellitti4406]

I missed the self cutting videos but weren’t they during Covid when everyone WAS home cutting their own hair! 🤔 On the contrary I find your videos, as well as some others, to be very beneficial and actually help the industry. I couldn’t afford to go to a hairstylist every few days to style my hair, nor did I I have the time or want to! For decades, yes I’m that old, I have said to hairdressers I need someone to teach me HOW to use the products & tools! Eh, I got a little instruction but nothing like this video! You nailed it! Now maybe I won’t complain as much about the hairdresser & the cut they gave me cause now I have a better understanding how to work with it. From your videos you’ve also given us the knowledge & terminology to be able to talk to our stylists. That’s HUGE ! I can’t thank you enough ! ❤ P.S. I’m sure sales have gone way up from the products & tools you recommend, hence helping the industry 🤷‍♀️
