I purchased the Masterclass the year before Covid. I have been cutting my own hair ever since. I bought the 360 degree mirror that was recommended and use it when I cut and color. I have been coloring my own hair for at least 20 years, but I learned some excellent tips in the class.
Hey Karen! That’s awesome! Thanks for trusting me! Im SO glad to hear you’re loving the course!!!
Can I use that slant cutting from the long bang to the bottom
@cathierobb8712 that would be a @JustinHickox question. My guess is yes just be careful not to cut too far back.
Where did you purchase your 360 degree mirror?
How can i purchse that masterclass?
Her hair is absolutely gorgeous with incredible shine
I love that you’re teaching people how to give themselves some fresh looks at home. I figured out how to do this myself about 9 years ago, and it is easy. I watched how my hair stylist did my hair each time. She moved away, and I wasn’t stuck. 😃 This ability to do my own hair saves me so much on haircuts. 🤙🏽
Very clear, concise directions and so easy to follow! I have a lob haircut right now and I'm trying to grow in those front corners she trimmed, but I'm saving this for possible use in the future. Thank you, awesome video!
I'm so happy about this video. Honestly I've always cut my own hair as I had a few really bad experiences with haircuts. Thank-you. I love your channel.
I just tried the layer cut at home technique you teach in this video and I love my hair! Easy to do!! Thank you!
Brilliant video and not too long. It's with the help of videos like this that I am now able to cut my own hair. Thank you.
I just done this tonight, only at a much sharper angle (straight up and down). I LOVE how it turned out and it was so much easier than how I typically do it.
Just bought the course and I am SO EXCITED that you offer this!! I became my own hair person during Covid and like many of us...ruined my hair by making every mistake possible and having zero clue what I was doing. Then my hair was falling out due to a medication I took for a year. Now...I am on the other side of that hellish nightmare and my hair is growing back. My hair journey will be simply growing it out and trimming it myself this year, allowing time to do the rest. I already feel relief from watching the first intro video. It will help confirm some of the stuff I learned the hard way. Thank you so much for being here. Happy 2024.
This lesson was absolutely fantastic. I’m ready to give it a go. My only hesitation is how to incorporate my bangs.
Love this! I have watched her in your other video a dozen times (I play / pause the video as I am trimming) and this is a perfect add-on.
That’s awesome! Thank you! So glad you’re loving the Master Class!
What a great tutorial. Thank you for sharing your expertise!
Right on time! I color and trim my own hair and will be doing it this week. I'll be saving this video to watch as a reminder. Thanks much!
Awesome! Can’t wait to hear how it turns out!!
I saw your tip about leaving all the hair below the parietal bone all one length in another of your videos. It has made a huge difference in how thick my hair looks and feels! Thank you for sharing your knowledge, skill, and passion with us.
Do you remember which video that was and would you mind giving me the title of it? I have fine thin hair that could use that tip!
I've literally just watched it before this one. It's called 'Long hair after 50: Never wear your hair this way' The 2nd sentence might be a little wrong but the first is bang on and the 2nd is pretty close @@vikkistutzman4712
Actually 2nd sentence in the title was 'NEVER wear this hairstyle'
@@vikkistutzman4712and its currently a 2 week old video
@@vanessamccarthy7807 thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing this! I’ve been layering the sides for years and hadn’t known these techniques till now! Time to start doing it right!
You’re so welcome! I’m glad I could help!
@@justinhickox This is great, it costs so much to get hair done for our budget right now and I've been so undecided on a style that I trim areas every few wks and it's really sad even though I do know some basics lol. I appreciate this SO SO much!
Hi there I just did it and I love it! Makes so much difference thank you !
Thank you! Your tutorials are always informative. I really appreciate it!
I have cut my own hair for years with varied success. This video is very helpful. The lady in your video has beautiful thick hair.
This is such a great tutorial. I tried it and it definitely works. It's very easy to follow and I'm so happy with my results. Thank you 🙏🏻🥰💞👍🏻
I've only been to the salon a few times in my life. I gave myself cuts and then about 15 years ago i flipped my head upside-down, brushed it all even and just cut across; and when i flipped my head back up i had a great cut and to my suprise also front layers. I've cut my hair that way ever since.
My uncle did his own dental extraction using a rope and a door handle…I’m not joking.
@@Fieldsofflowers777 - ha ha ha! Not on the same level. But, that's what we did when we were kids and had a loose tooth--only we used string.
I use to cut my hair that way. It turns out really good.
If your head was upside down, how did you see it to get a straight line??
@@asaxearts I can see my hair. Probably wouldn't so easy if your hair is short.
I always learn something when I watch your videos. Thank you.
You’re amazing. You’ve been so helpful to me and my sisters. Thanks
You are great teacher... simple and easy to understand! 🙏
I love the look on her face just before she was going to make that initial cut!
Another great instructional video. 👍
Love this tutorial! Thank you
I need to show this video or a photo of this to my stylist. I always end up with a very basic, all one lenght but would prefer a cut like this
what a doll! Thank you.
PERFECT VIDEO!!!! CONGRATS!!!!🎉🎉🎉
This masterclass is huge and SO helpful and informative!…saved me during Covid!!!!🎤🎤🎤Happy Thanksgiving Justin and Dionna!!!…enjoy every moment!!!💜
Hey Linda! Thank you so much! I always love the support! Hope you and the fam have an amazing turkey day too!!
I am with you Linda!!! Watching now…
@@debrakayjones thank you!!!
I color my hair and do simple trims at home but couldn't fathom adding some layers, it looked too tough. I just made an appointment for this exact haircut 😂 Cancelling now. Thank you!!
THANK YOU for that trust! HUGE!!! I can’t wait to hear how it turns out!! Just take it slow and you’ll do awesome!
Easy but effective tips
Excellent....thank you!
ypu are such a good teacher. 😃
Love your videos!
Justin you are awesome! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your pretty wife! 🦃🍁
Thank you so much Antoinette! You're awesome! Happy Thanksgiving to you as well! Any big plans?
@@justinhickox yes going to my nieces in Texas. I’m in Louisiana. Not that far but will be with family. Y’all?
Mine needs to grow a bit - can’t wait to try this !
Gorgeous model!
Very good advice. Thank you 🙏😊♥️
I knew better than to attempt cutting on my own! Dang sir, I wish I'd never seen this video of yours. Although I'm sure plenty of people were successful... I manage to ruin my long hair. So, instead of a style I might have liked, now I have to go shorter... much shorter... grrrr. I'm not mad, just feel stupid because now I HAVE to go pay a real expert. To those that were able to do better than the gal in this example... Bravo! and I'm envious🤧🙂
This is an overall confidence-builder in that the video is not shot by the person cutting their hair, but of the person cutting their hair, and the specific instructions are great. But I wish the person that demonstrated did not have such short, layered hair already. I really needed to see it done with long hair that has the layers all grown out to see how to cut a clean line when there is no visual from other layers to guide you.
Thank you!
😛 at 5:04 I suddenly realized/believed I CAN DO THIS! 👀 😂 And I thank you. I am sooooo broke right now and just desperate for a haircut so this is incredibly helpful. ☺️
Thanks so much for sharing your skills with us. I like layers like this; anything more scares the bejeezers out of me! Lol
I would love to see you cut thin on top curly hair, for over age 50. So far everyone that has cut my hair, cut it wet. I ask if they know how to cut curly hair, and they say yes. I end up with shorter hair in the front, and much longer in the back because my side curl more. Love your videos. Thank you. Wish your shop was closer to me. I am about 2 hours south.
Isn't his salon in Portland?
thnx Justin!
Would love video for cutting short stacked hair not above ear nape about 1/2”. Love your videos
Bless you!❤
Thank you! Really hope this helps!
You are amazing 💚
Thank you 🙏 ❤
Great! Thanks 👍🏼
This makes sense. I think it would be harder to do the side of your head opposite your dominant arm.
I hear you! I find it easiest to simply cut from the bottom up on one side and top down on the other.
Excellent
Thanks!! 😊 new subbie
I wish there were videos without words
Great tutorial! I've been cutting my own hair for a few years with a similar technique. I've recently lost quite a bit of hair in the front and I'm wondering if this technique will still apply or would you approach thinning hair differently?
love your teaching do you thinking using thinning shears on wavy/curly hair a big no?
Thank you
I mean this with the upmost respect but I’d suck the bone off this man to show my gratitude for this video Finally a good and simple tutorial with clear directions. Give him whatever he wants!
Although I'll never be brave enough to cut my own hair again, this was very informative. Thank you!!
You’re so welcome! I’m glad to hear it could help! Maybe someday you’ll try it again, if so, this video should make it a bit easier for ya!
I’ve been loving your videos, especially those aimed at more mature women. I have a question about coloring that no one so far has had an answer for. My hair is naturally a dirty/ashy blonde and I’ve been coloring it medium reddish brown for decades. Now I want my grays but I’d like the remaining non-gray hairs to still be colored the medium red. Is there any way to achieve this??
What’s your view on a Dyson or shark hair dryer/styler vs regular dryers/irons thanks
I just fixed my hair!!!! Amazing!!! Mynlawyers look gorgeous Where can i purchase the masterclass....
I have very fine hair that is thinning at the crown, are there any hair toppers you recommend?
@justinhickox will this work for a shorter bob and shorter bangs, for example. A chin length bob with the bangs starting at about the top of the ear? Thank you!

Justin needs to do a masterclass on great thumbnail images
Would like to see this for very long hair. Or at least as long as in thumbnail
Thank you for this! I prefer cutting my own hair. I have had as many bad haircuts from professionals as I have given myself. I also get stylists who act weird because I am a natural redhead. It's just easier to do it myself rather than pay a bunch of money and hear all their comments.
Just saw the New makeup line Think you can purchase on line Named (. How To. Be A Blonde ) Looked Beautiful maybe you should check it out. Redheads are beautiful. This is supposed to be the first make up line for redheads only just thought you’d like to know.
Great video- but any advice on where to start the layers? I'm guessing certain heights are better for certain face shapes. If there is already a video that talks about this, please point me in the right direction. Thanks!
Wow. Thanks for sticking it to your own industry.
Many times, when people can't find a stylist they love, they still want a cut they like. In those cases, they deserve to have a tool to achieve that for themselves. The idea that at home tutorials somehow discount salons is a lack mindset view of the landscape. I've taught clients my entire career, how to cut their bangs at home so they didn't have to make a special trip to me for it. I still had clients....and they still needed bang trims at times. It'a a bit like microwave meals. Just because people have the ability to cook easy meals at home doesn't stop them from going out to eat. It may entice some people to eat out less but it's still an entirely different experience. I also don't feel that cooking at home discounts the skills of a good chef. I would argue it gives people a better respect for how hard it is to be really good at it. I think, in many cases (I'm not talking about you since I have no idea how you approach social media), stylists saw a landscape that changed through Covid but didn't change their business to adjust for it. I actually attribute some of this to companies that dove into education for stylists during Covid, but only taught them more cutting/coloring skills instead of how to adjust their social media to grow a business when they COULDN'T actually cut or color clients. It truly frustrated the crap out of me that theses large companies wouldn't help stylist learn to earn money when they couldn't get behind the chair because it didn't help sell the companies products. I still see stylists being taught (and doing) the same old thing with social, posting a back of the head photo on Instagram or Tik Tok of their recent work OR letting people know how many openings they have that week etc. That may have worked a few years ago but now, they just get lost in the crowd. Everyone does that so all the feeds look the same and new clients can't tell the difference. Covid brought in a culture of education for everyone. I would love to see stylists spend less time showing their work (which is still important and valid) and more time educating clients on the problems the client is facing and how to help them solve those problems. After the salons were re opened (and I had taught many of my clients to do their own hair) I found that not only was I able to "share all my secrets online", it was the act of sharing those secrets that grew an audience and had me booked solid for a year with a waiting list, and new clients flying from all over the states for appointments. That is NOT a humble brag (trust me, I'm VERY aware there are SO many extremely talented stylists out there, many have more talent than I will ever have), it's simply to express the importance of using social to add value vs simply sharing a portfolio. Solve peoples problems and you become the authority.
@@justinhickoxhope that commenter (that likely had A LOT of open slots on their book this week)finally understands logic. Maybe too young to understand people which is a huge part of customer service, or perhaps just angry at the world but your words are 100%fact. You’ve grown so much since Covid because you simply listened to the needs of people (keyword listened) and you hammered down with a plan. Kudos to you for your success. The world is a better place with people like you in it.
I gosh no, I don't think I could! But could u link shears u would recommend ?
Absolutely! Can I ask your budget? They can range from $100-&1,000’s.
Would this be considered just trimming rather than actual layering ?
I remember when my older sister and her friend tried to give me layers when I was 12. I ended up with lamb chops! My mom was so mad. 😆
Great video, BUT I don't have a hair straightener iron and don't want to spend the $$ on one. Anything else I can do?
What is a good style technique for letting your bangs grow out ?
The maser class pricing has bundle almost same price as separate. Is that correct? I'm just interested in hair cut not coloring. Thanks.
Hi Justin! Love this tutorial, I have been cutting my own hair for years because it's long, curly, voluminous but thin and, at several hair salons, despite asking to just layer it, they always cut my length a lot. Now I'm the one who cuts the ends every now and then and layered. I took a look at your videos, I've seen some, but I don't see much about curly hair... Do you think it's an unflattering hair type? You really don't see many celebrities or high society people with curly hair. What do you think?
Susana, just do you! I started embracing my curly hair a few years ago, and it’s ME. I don’t want to look like a celebrity or someone I’m not.
Just watch a different channel. I've been cutting my curly hair for years, and this video might help somebody, but honestly it is a joke to me. Starting right away with "flat iron it". I laughed, bc I haven't used heat on my hair or owned a flat iron in over a decade.
I'll stick to my stylist cutting my hair, thankyou.
So please tell what is the difference between this and a wolf cut if you want layers? Because it seemed to me the wolf cut was easier
💖💖🙏🙏thanks !
You are so welcome!
I went to Great Clips and asked for front layers, she cut them, not in your technique. I told her about your technique and she said “this is how I do layers” I came home and fixed the layers she did with this video, thank you! Also I’m going to a real salon moving forward
😌I’m disaster doing my own hair 😫end up running 🏃♀️ to the hairdresser to get it fixed.🤭🤭
Can you give advice of a good brand of straight scissors?? Not so inexpensive as well.! Thanks❤❤❤
For sure. I added a link in the description of this video. They’re $100’ish but that’s surprisingly not expensive for good shears. They can cost thousands.
Thanks …I needed something to trim my sons hair for in between haircuts..
Wanted to add that Tweezerman makes excellent shears, and they also have a sharpening service - had to find for us non-professionals. I've used their tweezers and cuticle nippers for decades, but discovered the shears a few years ago and love them, and they hold their edge even though I cut my mom's hair monthly and mine every few months.
How much of the cut masterclass focuses n short hair? Thanks!
Great question. I have a few videos on hot to cut short pixie haircuts as well as how to cut men’s cuts with clippers. Everything from Bob length to my length hair is covered.
Where do you get sheets that actually cut? I’ve bought a couple pairs online that had great reviews and they are terrible
Amen .
I wish I knew how to cut the length. BUT, my great wish is that Justin could so my hair! WISH!
Great tutorial for cutting the front of your hair, but what about the back? Is that in another video?
Yes it is. I linked it in the pinned comment of this video.
I may have to try this… I have all of these tools already, because I’ve been cutting my son’s hair and my husband’s hair for years. My son has so much coarse, thick, wavy hair, if I don’t thin it, he gets what looks like a giant brown helmet after just a couple weeks after cut. 😂
Can you now do one for people with curly hair
The process is actually the same. You’d just dry your hair straight prior to cutting, then leave it “too long” knowing it’s going to jump up when you dry it.
what about the back and sides?
So where the result that you show in the title of the video ?
I have very long fine hair, should I use texture scissors even though my hair is fine?
You totally can! Only if there’s a line and you need to blend it though. You may not need to use them.
What happens if you don't thin out the ends?
I'm 52 and I'm not allowed to touch my hair with scissors anymore 😢😂 Per my sister and my stylist!
Haha! You’re not alone. Luckily, sounds like you have a stylist you can count on! Unless you guys get in an argument before she cuts your hair! lol.
@@justinhickoxI've always been bad to whack at my hair if it isn't doing something right. They always have fix it after LOL. I've been banned from scissors now.
Me too!! I trimmed my daughter's bangs when she was young and it didn't go well. I kept trying to even it out. 🤦♀️ Apparently, it was extremely traumatic for her because she's 31 and is still not over it!
Do you have a link for good scissors ✂️ please. That are good for beards and hair? Thank you for your great content.
I can definitely find some for you. Can I ask your budget? Shears can get really expensive really quickly depending on how good you want them to be.
@@justinhickox up to $50, thank you so very much.
Isn’t this an angle as opposed to layers? When I tell a stylist I want this, I say I want the front angled away from my face.
Does your master class show details on how to give yourself a pixie cut?
Absolutely!
How do I as a blonde make sure that my mid to ends will be soft and silky feeling? What are the best products please! I need help. I usually use a hair oil with a leave in conditioner and a heat protectant, and still my hair feels fried I don’t know what to do….
When coloring or bleaching your Hair @ keep fabulous and healthy you must use oval Plex in your bleach or your colors. You will be amazed how your hair becomes healthy when you condition use cool or Warm water only and don’t strip all the conditioner off your hair. You don’t necessarily need to condition your scalp every time. Also, don’t shampoo every day and don’t use Violet shampoo each and every time but you can condition often without shampooing. Hope this helps.
I have this hairstyle and not by choice unfortunately but because of breakage. Tired of layers and trying to grow out.
My hair is such a mess. Such a mess. I have some thick course straight wavy and curly all in the same head. I'm 55. The older I get the worse my hair gets. Should I try this?
