'Me and My Middy'~ How to ask your Stylist for a Middy Haircut

The Middy is a hair cut from the 1940's that consists of even layers all over the head. A staple of vintage hairstyling for traditionalists.

This is a great video. I am a hair stylist and I say that the explanation is a good one you could give your own hairdresser. If you aren't good at talking a cut over with your stylist, bring in a good photo of the cut you want (not styled) and explain to the stylist what exactly what you will want to achieve with your hair after the cut. Hearing your goals with a cut is so very helpful to us!

It looks great! I took it to my stylist and she was all "oh uh... this goes against everything we were taught in school, I'll see what I can do but it probably won't be exact" or something like that. Time for a new stylist. Though, what she did do came out all right, I don't think it's perfect.

thank you sooo much ashley i have been waiting for this for sooo long! I'm glad that this video came out before i went to my hairdresser, i've waited so long to grow out my angled bob so now i can get a longer middy :3

[cranky1chick]

@tkmaz Oh, definitely a look I want to to try, but not in winter. I might go shorter for spring, but I want some hair to cover my neck in the winter months.

Anytime I want a very specific haircut I always go to my friend Missy, it really does help to have a friend who knows what they're doing.

[Mereope]

I don't know if I'd want mine this short, but I'm pretty sure that I'll be making an appointment to see Rachel!
