Hello my friend Sam, over here at the style studio in Miami, Florida, very excited to be with the Styles app. That's right, the Styles st yl e-z app. This is what I want you to do. Take out your phone, go to your apps and download the Styles app. That's why I'm so happy to be here at the style studio because I love their content, our cultures are very similar, there's a lot about education, a lot behind the

dresser, not only that, but they complement the growth of your business behind of the c

hair

. In fact, connecting with a consumer also make sure you check out that app.

I'm excited because today I have the beautiful Olga with me here and what I want to do is talk about the upcoming ballroom scenarios. I just want to give you a profile view. of her hair in terms of what you see now this is true in terms of what you see look at the

thin

nest of our hair the density in that area so what I'm going to do is put some strength back into this hair let's go up and look at the top and if you take a look at the top you can start to see how we really need to put some punch back into this.

My inspiration in these pops that I'm starting to see is Julianne Hough. Check out That Silhouette on That Bob is absolutely beautiful so it's an inspiration in terms of the silhouette but I

thin

k sometimes you have to customize the fabric and canvas of the client you have sitting in your chair so we'll use that as an example of inspiration and let's start in the back area why I'm cutting it short. I'm a little dry because now I want a soft edge on my bob and I really want to be able to see that the dry cut is a visual exercise. in the front area we want to take that off for now just set it aside for a moment so look what I'm going to do look where it's weak in this area there's strength here so let's start in the front area just removing the hair that we don't really want cut yet and that's the area of ​​the week that she has in the front so we don't want to go any further we're just going to isolate her and keep her out for now and keep her there. so to keep it isolated all I'm going to do is take a little elastic and I'm just going to put the elastic right on this and so it just gathers that hair together so you can see I didn't even twist the elastic. or anything just gather the hair by putting the little elastic in there which guarantees that I'm going to isolate that area and not put it up until I'm done, then you'll see how to start detailing that into the existing lines, let's move on to the opposite side and you can see once again the transparency there, so let's isolate it one more time and get it out of the way and once again just taking the elastic, it's not about sliding it tight just so it's separated from where I'm going to be working.

I'm going to start in the back area and what I want to do is move forward and start keeping everything more in the round part of the head. I want it to sit in the hip route. that I'm just going to reduce my length a little bit, I'm not going to go too extreme in my line cutting Joy one more time so I can see that visual edge and what I'm going to do with that vigil is "Actually, I'm going to scan that and we'll talk about that when we get to that. Now, this left back area, what we want to do instead of cutting is a very wide area and rotating my finger position, what I want to do is just find where the natural transition happens if.

We place a box on top of Olga's head, you'll see there's a left corner, there that corner is where I'm intentionally going to blow up the hair and see and allow it to part on its own and when you do that, that tells you where her head wants change direction, that's where I'm going to place my fingers to make sure I get to the head round, so we're going to isolate this section, let's look at all of these insulations so there are There are going to be four panels that I'm actually going to place in the back area .What is so important to order the bus blouse?

Correctly take the white teeth of the comb with growth pattern with growth pattern and then when you get to that chatter, ridge gravity. takes control, so now let's take a look and see where the box will go. I take the comb place which on the transition ridge is sometimes called the bridal ridge and then the back and see where those two lines meet, let's blouson nicely. Here look at that, you can see where it wants to separate on its own as soon as I lift it up, okay, now we're going to isolate this area and now if we isolate this area, you'll see four areas, now let's talk about the why behind this, yeah I take such a wide area from the center back to behind the ear, I'm playing a guessing game and turning my finger, if I put the comb on this and have Olga look up at the ceiling and I put the comb here, right is it so interesting?

The comb comes out of this point and this point, so this is a flatter area, so the way the Comus is positioned is exactly how I'm going to position my hand, most people would kind of bob. square it off like this if I do that and keep my hand square I'm actually leading the outside left side of the panel too much and that gives me more length underneath look you can start to see where the comb is coming from that's how you place your hand when we get to this side area, you can see how I'm going to place my hand here, so now look at this if I place it here and here you can see that's where that corner is because the head is round.

These two points that meet and intersect will actually be rounded, so let's start, we're going to start at that right center back. I'm making sure I have this, I'll even accept it and this is where we are. I'll start when we cut this. I'm going to lower his head, that will give me a little more room to play. I'm a little dry once again because I'm going to scan this and you'll see what I do. I mean I want the edge of my Bob to have a little bit more softness. He said I'm going to work with a 6 inch Signature Series swivel with a swivel shear instead of putting my wrist in this position because I'm I'm going to scan, I'm just going to rotate and now look how straight my arm is so remember that every tool has its reason and its purpose, just like a butcher understands the process of how a steak knife works, a butter knife, each tool has its own reason now.

Look, let's read there, it will tell me where to cut this Bob look as soon as I start blouseing it. I see that I need to start my bob edge right there, so I visualize that we go in with a comb, look at the comb, so I go out. I take that section and place it on the comb. Hey, remove the comb. Sometimes when I cut like this, the comb gets in the way, so what I want you to do is hit the pocket of your thumb and index finger and roll. and this way you can see that it is not in your way now.

I'm not going to cut this to the skin and the reason I'm not going to cut this to the skin is because I want this bob to have a soft cut. flexible edge and just by going in and doing that, you can see I'm going to get a nice lead, it's going to have the balance that I'm looking for, but this lead as it grows is going to be a lot softer. and flexible for her to maneuver, let's take our next section. Consistency is very important in your sections, so Sammy, are you going to use this well?

If you take a look at Julien's house haircut, it has a bit of graduation to it, so yeah, I'll do it. use this and Olga has asked for a little more volume on top, now what we have to be careful about is how we place our

fine

hair and we'll talk and get to that on top. back to the clean perimeter edge with my

fine

teeth up to the comb I put tension on it with the white teeth and now I'm ready to cut and like I said I don't mind having this in my hand because I'm looking For that smooth edge, we'll just continue working on this section down and scanning the notice and I'm trying to keep the stitches as easy as possible overnight, but I'm not going to cut this with a deep stitch because it's fine hair. and you need that weight, let's move on to the next section, we'll continue working on the rectangle section, my last section at the top.

I want you to notice how I've deliberately taken my time scanning each section. I'm also Aware of what my tension is, so I'm not applying too much tension, so I let the fine teeth of the comb clean the section. Use the white teeth again to set the tension. Look at the comb placed. This is how I'm going to Place my hand and now I'm just going to slide the comb, look at the comb, indenting my hand about an eighth of an inch from where the guide is. Now I'm going through with a twist, now watch me place the twist guide blade on my ring blade and now all I do is just slide, move, scan that ring finger and you're probably thinking Sam, this takes a long time, my friends, no It's about me, it's about this, it's about the fabric and it's about the customer what's best for the fabric and what's best for the customer, okay, now we're going to move left of center , okay, let's take a horizontal section and so I get a good guide for this.

I'm going to go back to this portion that comes out and now isolates and now gives me an idea of ​​where I am and where I need to go. He remembers using the comb, where it is, how he fought the meltdowns, in other words, what I'm trying to share with you here. I'm not going to go down, turn my hand and cut across the box straight when we have a common natural tendency to do that. You're directing this area slightly back too much by doing that, that's just going to give you a little corner and an added link that you're going to want to go back and cut stay with the shape of your head fine teeth to clean up why teeth to set my tension and see how it goes in My finger look how gentle I am with that, okay?

Make sure you have your ring finger there and that will be my resting point for my guide sword. I think what's so important is that you step back and look at the big picture when we're too close, you're looking at the small. image, so let's take a step back, look at the big image, you can start to see how I'm falling here, so if I'm close here, I'm not really going to see that, so I need to change just the angle of my finger. just a little bit okay so now I'm at eye level with that so let's stay here you can start to see where I just extended my guide just a little bit my friends I'm not going to stand in front of you say that I am perfect.

I will make mistakes but it's only a mistake if I don't learn from it if I learn from it then it's not a mistake anymore now I like it a lot more I'm going to go ahead and take this advantage that I see Here now I'm ready to continue once I have that guide. Let's go back, leave what we cut and go over and take the next horizontal cut. I'm going to continue working until the horizontal section, the last section inside. In this rectangle, one of the most important things to remember is to get this hair and its natural shape, where do you want to go if part of it wants to overlap the other side and that's where you want to go, use the wide teeth of the comb to go back in.

Good even tension now we continue on to the side area, this is where I'm going to start changing my angle slightly and it will change naturally as it wraps around the head, you could start to see the angles forming naturally. However, the problem here is that this is the area I want to cut if I took my first cut. The cut is such a small cut of that area, so what we recommend you do is go up above the ear and bring this up so you can marry your entire line, okay, now let's turn your head, so look at everything , just put the cone in, okay, so I'll continue that line to the last section on the left side, look how we're putting the integrity back in.

This I mean, before I do anything in terms of cleaning or anything that I want to go through and complete my other side, I'm going to show you a cool way to check this before we do that, let's go the opposite. side area here just take a portion remember I'm filling in that whole area where they just start at the nape area, let's fill in that line with that hair so we can continue that line and see the line now before we do that. What I want to do is just tilt a guide from one side to the other and see where I am here, so I'll go to the opposite side.

Okay, this is the hair we're removing right now. come in and I'm just going to take the hair that I have here okay just a strand right in front here this is just going to come out and give me kind of a point 2 point concept of what to cut so I'm looking here and what I want do is take the hair from the opposite side at the same point at the same point and I'm just going to marry it front and center, keep it low and cut it now, let's take a look this point will now represent that point up to this point now your shoulder to Sometimes it can get in the way so I want you to hold his shoulder and turn his head anyone hold that position now look at that point at that point and now it's just a matter of connecting those two points look I use my comb just to see where I'm going .

I'm not changing this line in terms of diagonal

depth

. I'm just gently changing the angle of my finger. Notice how I'm taking my time cutting. this with intention and purpose and we're going to go back and start layering itwhen they feel a little more comfortable, just turn it around a little bit because I've already made the length clear so sometimes I feel good when I see I'm starting to fall into my line put your finger there so you know where to go you'll know what area it needs to be attended now let's go back and start to check now what do I mean by checking a haircut of a length sometimes when you cut a bob when you see the hair moving and she shakes her head that underneath she has little strands of hair and sometimes It's cut perfectly but it's just the bottom part, it doesn't swing, it doesn't move, so this is what I'm going to share with you, a good way to take care of the hair underneath and not panic now, so you can see everything What's underneath is what I want. to take care of so look what I do I'm going to take my comb and I'm going to comb it diagonally I comb it diagonally now this is the only time I'm going to get into the skin and you'll see where I see that line look at that line.

I'm going to delete everything outside of that line, right below that line. Now what I'm going to do is comb this diagonally and over direct it, and you might think about how it's cutting. His line now look when I raise his head what's happening is look why I comb this here I didn't touch the top part but what I did get was that bottom down there look how you can't see that in that area now remember let's layer this, let's angle it this way and look again at styling, especially when you get to this front area, do you ever see these Bobs and they have that length there, so I'm going to go through Sam, what you said.

You were holding your finger because you wanted to keep it soft but now you're on the skin. This is a great way to check that below. That's why I'm on the skin. So let's go here, look so you can get started. to see it once you start taking it both ways you will know what to remove. I will warn you that you can't be afraid to cut him, you are afraid to cut him, then he will still be there. Okay, now let's start taking a look at this side mm-hmm. I'll just ask you to shake your head shoulder to shoulder.

Okay, and you can start to see that this side now has a much more solid foundation. Let's take a look at this side, you can see. I need to go right under here and get some of that, so let's go back, just a big tip in terms of cross-checking these single length haircuts, let's look at all of that. below Sam I don't understand how that works right look I'm combing this to take away its natural fall therefore the bottom is shorter it barely moves so this line is my guide and what I see here is what that must appear once again. a great way to get all the hair out from under it with a client who doesn't want to trim it, see how that length will come back through, move it in different ways, walk to the front, now see if there's anything you want goes into that front, so We've completed our one leg shape now what we want to do is shake our head, keep it up now what we want to do is start thinking about how we're going to start Attaching this back area now.

I want to start shaping it that way to do this, okay, but here I have to be very careful with how I choose to go in and layer this if you ever want Bob to have some bevel and roundness. I know. A lot of times we take our Flatiron and our comb and we leave it nice and smooth and we start beveling look what Sam has in this hand. I have my fancier Flatiron and a thermal round brush. Now what I want to do is all I want to do is just put my eye on the brush and watch me just flow the iron as soon as I'm going to close it and if I had put my finger here like now I feel hot and I haven't even closed it the heat of the iron starts to alter the bonds in the hair so notice how the irons just barely close on that line so what I'm doing is just creating a bevel that's all I'm doing just creating the hole very gently and then I'm using the brush and the iron because I know this iron gets hot on the outside so all I want to do now is take a look at it now has just a slight amount of bevel based on where I've been. number one again, another way to work it differently and this is a great and easy technique for the client to do.

You can already see the difference from one side to the other, so now you can see how we've traversed, we've refined our shape. We start working with a straightener and a round brush, move your head shoulder to shoulder and then you can start to see by verifying that underneath you get a very nice clean line, you are not seeing any of that hair that underneath there now is the time to go in and grading this and layering it and what I want to cut this out first is because I wanted to build a guide that will start from the neighborhood, notice what we mean, let's delete our side area which in In this particular case, we're going to go slightly behind the ear and that will allow us to fill this hole.

Yeah, we're going to split this both ways, so I'm already past the peak of the year once again, just filling out nicely. behind that ear now we're going to go in and we're going to cut that back area to find the natural transition of our nape where the comb comes out right at the top of the ear, so now what we want What I have to do is this is the hair we are going to cut. I want to maintain this weight on fine hair. What I don't want to do is start going in and layering on the nape of the neck area.

Now look what I'm going to do. I come, I divide this in half. I'm going to start on your right side. Because I'm right-handed, so take a look at what I've done in my name area. Okay, now I'm going to start with my shape. I'm going to work this up to the crown area working with the shape of the head, so we'll work with the shape of the head, but we'll use that as our guide, so what are we going to do? What we do is it's going to give us some layers. What I don't want to do is come back here and start graduating too much.

We will begin to lose the length and heaviness that we built up. We're using this point here, that's OMG, that's going to ensure that from here we're going to start rounding and layering and you can see how that's going to start rounding the bottom, so here's my nape area, there's my gosh okay now let's go over the shape of the head and what we want to do now is all I want to do is once again keep this nice and smooth so to keep this nice and smooth I'm going to change the tools. switch to our streamline and I'm going to switch to streamline six to five, so what I want to do is make the streamline a smaller handle, so since I'm going to layer, it's going to give me a little bit more smoothness. my hands in terms of being able to control the shear versus a larger handle, so streamlined is for those of you who or a smaller streamlined handle is your choice of scissors.

Vertical section. We know that the neck area is going to be my guide, so let's take a look, I'm going to raise and just cut to the head shape, see where that's okay, so what I want to do is raise the hand shape, there was that guide and now I just start aiming and cutting, now what I want to do. is to keep this soft and then you'll see that blonde hair is hard to layer, my friends, and it's hard to layer because of the idea that you can see every layering effect, so what I want you to do is have courage not to cut. a blunt line and then I try to go back and smooth it out look what Sam is doing I'm notching it and then I go back and now I start smoothing out that line that I just created with Fanning and I'm not going as deep so I switch to a line aerodynamic not as long as a blade and now I'm going to start to get the softness or roundness that I'm looking for in that shape, another pie shaped section that's too directed towards the center, so let's take a back view. of this prompt I'm combing everything towards me so my hand sits in the center so how do I assure Sam that I don't comb this too much towards me because the way you're standing is the backbone of the comb when the backbone of the comb hits that line, that center line, that's when I comb, that will always make sure my hand is in the right place.

If there is any tool that is going to have problems, it is the comb, the shape of the head it will give you. It gives you a nice casual feeling of volume. I'll give you a start to give you a profile and you can start to see how they start to change the silhouette, all right, pie shaped section directed towards the center using the spine of the comb. to determine the center and comb upwards working with the shape of the head, whatever I reach is what I'm going to take. Okay, you can see how we complete this side and look when I tickle you, you can start to see how you get a There's a little bit of movement in that, but now you also start to see the silhouette, how that silhouette is starting to change and you're getting a little more roundness, that's what I like, just using Napier as a guide. especially when you're going out and walking around with fine hair, it's very important with blonde hair a lot of times we can see the layered edge that I'm looking at as I apply it.

I could switch to a tool just to refresh something right, refresh a little bit of that when we get to our refinement and detail, let's go to the opposite side, let's drop and now you can start to see, let's tickle the heavy side and tickle the heavy side of the movement. Big difference between the two, we'll continue working with pie-shaped partings, then we'll go with a pie-shaped parting. I already have a guide so just pick it up and you'll see let's fold them over you can see there it is let's go there so now in that center now we've completed this back area and you can see when we start tickling and you just use your hands to move it, you can start to see how we're getting a little bit of movement out of this and remember how it started very, very well here, we can start to see the silhouette that we're starting to build there.

Now we're going to go to the top area and I want to go to the side areas just a little bit, so how are we going to handle all of this? Okay, let's release and I want to go in and get a little bit more visual blending in that particular area, so let's get a little blending in this area, but I want to leave this. I actually kinda like this here. but suggest the idea of ​​getting a mix or keeping that and let's get into this top area, it's not so much about going in and doing some aggressive layers, she's actually been through some chemicals and what's happening is Because I'm starting to see that she's seen slightly compromised, so what I want to do is just go in and put these strengths back into this without going in and being so aggressive with my layers.

Why do I say that? Because remember that the hairline jumps. up automatically creates more massive hair in the back area, so you have to be especially careful how we lift and grade this side area, so I want you to think very casually, so look what I'm doing. I see where the integrity is. it's lost now I'm going to lower it down to my black shirt so you can see that's all I'm doing is something like that with the forceful closure of the shear it's giving us that integrity that we're looking for okay now look. I'm going to work my way down, just a diagonal section coming back, which will allow me to make this link travel a little further to get back to this, but remember it's not just about my mix, it's about where I see it being. weak, that's what I'll take if I go too deep with this, meaning I layer it too aggressively.

Remember that you're just going to make this front area a little thinner. In this area, what I'm looking for is just some movement of that type. in that side area here look, you can see, I don't want to be too aggressive with this, just lift, look for integrity, look, that's integrity there, let's get rid of this right here and that's it, don't get carried away and feel. oh I gotta mix this up start mixing my friends I guarantee you will take all this weight off that frontal area okay now see what I mean if we mention this for example if I mention this most of people might say this and take this, so if I cut you there, once you see what happens, you'll see what happened now, you've lost this elongation, you've allowed it to round it out, so when you have a density like this, That's why we encourage you to select this. and then go back and join it without going in and apply aggressive layers in this area, let it fill in a little bit, okay, we'll come, just take it diagonally, just lift it up, don't look for blending, just look at the integrity, okay, so look as. that needs strength right there, so a blunter over transparent approach will add strength, softened with a deep point down.

I'm going slightly at an angle because I want to maintain the integrity, give it a little bit more of a blunt edge and then lift up vertically just looking for this just Bring it down my shirt so you can see so most people get really into this. All I want to do is just smooth, I'm just looking for movements because when the hair moves, if there's any hardness, you're going to see. that when it moves right now I'm really satisfied after that sideokay, let's go into this side area now on both sides now here the goal is I don't want to go in and dull this.

I actually like this part. but it means you can see it's lost right there, so this is what I want to do: just take it from behind, just tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, so it's almostthat's there, but let's make sure we have a visual combination so you can see how it's basically decreasing right now, so let's go back, okay, let's keep refining and detailing now, let's do it visually and see if we're really satisfied with what we see, so let's have her shake her head, the shoulders and shoulders while we just look at her. Thank God, now there's one thing that's really bothering me and it's that separate, but these pieces that we want to get. a slight blend and I'm going to go in and remove it with a blender to get a soft edge still, so you see, I still have a soft edge and I'm going to look at the difference in that, so let's visualize it.

Line and see their

textures

here. You could see what I did with that, so let's just pivot. Remember that everything I am doing is to not thin my hair. I'm trying to place it on the scanned edge, in some cases. I'm just going to go and use a shared texture and that way I understand that, hey, let's go over, let's take a look, I just brought it to the front, see more about that, okay, now let's bring this to the front here and see if there's a little corner of anything to take away here now, I personally like this in terms of where it is just because you know the fineness of her hair and that she likes that attachment, but then we talk about it and we both agree, let's take that. on the side that looks great, okay, let's detail when we find this opposite side and I think we're ready.

You saw how we started with Olga in terms of where her hair was and I think now I think Olga's hair is visible. twice as thick as before in terms of what we see and how it works now, so I think sometimes my friends, even though plants want to have long hair, it's very important as a professional that we help them understand what will work best for them. . give me some options I am not going to talk to a client in this game I will give the option to B or C remember do not talk to them about any style give the option to B and C according to the fabric and according to the The last thing we will do with the cameras is that Let's go collect some wax.

Think of a spray wax. That's exactly what I have in my hand. A control of ten. Ten times stronger than water. I work with a blowgun. And I want to just come in and get some of that texture back. I like to do that because now she gives the hair some texture, gives it a little more of a wall look and now we just work with our hands and now we look at the feeling of volume and movement. that she has and just working with your hands sometimes you find yourself getting a haircut at the salon and it makes your day, you know if you've ever done that and you think, I'm so happy, I'm proud of it and then "It's like follow the customer and you're cutting things and you get to the front desk and then all of a sudden you go back to the back room and you're like, 'How did that beautiful haircut turn out, Sam, how?' You do it and think: I have no idea.

I just learned it, but I have to tell you, it's fun to find other ways to cut hair that really work for you in terms of behind the hair. chair to give you a profile view, just start giving you a little view to the back and then back to the front, so now let's recap the haircut. What we did was we started with one length of hair thinking about a single length bob, we divided four panels. in the back area not only on the left, back, left side and right side, there is a corner that happens there when you are cutting here, pay attention to that corner, it tells you where to place your hand when you are working with bombs, we work to the scan. working with a six inch Signature Series rotary here so I can get my hand or Gehrig's anomaly in the right place to scan, that reason we choose to scan is because we want a flexible edge as it grows, it could be a lot easier for her Work with once we did that, so what we did was we left out that lateral area right in front of that marginal area, remember it was so weak that we didn't want to lift it up at all, we wanted to keep it low. and just cleaning it up when we got to the edge at the end, we took off what we had chipped off and just gave it a little bit more length in the sun area, but gave it a little bit more visual blending on the back.

How do we start with the New York layer? I knew I didn't want to do the typical graduated bob underneath. I think it would be taking too much hair underneath or too long in the back for her, this is the first time I cut it. your hair next time, the baby won't accept it, but what I did was cut that length in the nape area, which is where they had transitions, so I highly recommend that when you want to leave the weight on fine hair, you use that point in May at the top that's your guide and now just take everything and cut it into the round part of the head and we went in there and cut that out and we were taking pie shaped sections and dressing too much towards the center when we got to the front area. we took diagonal sections of the back, lifted them up, we weren't intentionally blending, we were lifting to see what was needed, some force, those little stray hairs that we stuck in, we just pulled them out and it still got some visual blending, hope you enjoyed watching this, my friends, the most important thing about the Styles app is that it gives you information that you can use behind the chair, so I really encourage you to go to the Styles app, go to the app on your phone, pull it up and press.
