    This actually helped as a cosmotology student, my teacher didn’t really explain this all that well this I feel gives me the actual concepts/techniques that I would use instead of just a sigular haircut idk if that makes sense but this is very helpful:)
  • @ronnied8482
    Do I wanna cut my hair or am I just having a breakdown
  • @blonded8741
    u might have just saved me from embarrassment and a night of crying update: nope i stand incorrect i still fkd it up
  • @jottrn2359
    For some reason, that background makes me anxious.
  • I am in beauty school and have been looking for someone to help me. I just wanted to thank you for your videos
  • @pmc2737
    Some helpful notes, I hope: 1) pull camera back to view entire cut, so you don't have to stop and move it up or down, easier for viewer. 2) yes, too much info in one video, becomes confusing because there are three different cuts on one head at one time, transitions are so quickly illustrated. 3) perhaps make several 'How to Make Layers' videos and name it accordingly, such as Layers, part 1- Sides; Layers part 2- Bangs/Front ; Layers part 3- Short, Medium & Long; Layers- part 4- Thick or Wispy; Layers part 5- What Works, What Doesn't ... etc. 4) This could be like a teaching class and still stay on an every other day schedule. Your instructions are easy to understand, just slow down a little. Just my suggestions as a viewer, not a pro like you. Thanks so much!

    After watching this (again) I was able to do this cut on myself and it came out really good! I mean it took a long time because my hair was wet and it took a while to make sure everything was even but your tips helped to make sure everything came out nice and even! Thank you! Keep up the great videos!
  • @peaches76100
    I appreciate you so much for sharing this technique with us! This was very Helpful and clear, keep them coming!
  • @guynorrad
    Hey Salon Guy! Guy here, thanks you for the great tutorial! You seem like a natural at teaching, easy to listen to and understand. I’m preparing to cut my beautiful gf’s hair and it’s so long and nice and I was quite afraid of effing it up on her but thanks to you and this video I’m feeling the confidence in my soul now! She seems to be less worried now too! Cheers 🙏💇‍♀️✅
  • @susiepoo51
    Thank you so much for this info! I needed this layering so much, and was able to do it myself, without paying up the ying yang for it. Love it, and you’re right about the weight it took off! Looks great too! Thanks again for sharing your time and talent with us 💙
  • @toeast8212
    This helped a lot this looks easier than starting at the nape of the neck. I tried doing layers and ended up making a 90 degree haircut (I don’t know how but I did luckily it was only a mannequin) . I’m going to try and practice this, thank you!
  • @Terecita47
    Oh dear. I am so unbelievably thrilled to have found you, this video and the video you made about layering the back of your own hair. My Covid hair journey has taken me on a wild ride and I am pretty sure I have made every classic mistake. (Which is actually hugely helpful for learning!) I don't know why it wasn't "clicking" before when I watched other tutorials or cheat videos. Now I understand. I did a couple of layers to take the hideous weight out of the back of my hair and can't wait to really take my time and try this. Instant lightbulb moment. Thank you!
  • @toribond5218
    Straight to the point and focused on different techniques. Loved it.
  • @blackmoonpearl
    This was an awesome tutorial! You explain the many different ways to layer hair. I have problems connecting the side to the front. Can you do a video explaining this and what not to do that will create steps when cutting layers. This especially happens with thick hair. Thanks for all your videos.
