 So I want to talk about something that kind of secretly launched a couple weeks ago. I really wanted to do a soft launch of it because I wasn't sure how it was gonna go, how you guys were gonna react to it, but even as a secret program that we started, you guys found out about it. Lots of you have signed up. We have hundreds of stylists already in the last couple weeks, but it's the FSE partner program. What it is is it's an online training. So it's $10 a month. It's not free. It's live online classes that are pretty much weekly. You can see the schedule on FSE on demand.com. So we do live classes. Now that's not necessarily what you're paying for. What you're paying for is we have a listing on a website called hair salon locator.com also on freesaloneducation.com and all the stylists that train on these live videos get put on a map so that people that are requesting looking, customers that are looking for a great salon, a stylist that is doing extra training, following along what we're doing at FSE, they can find them on that map. So we're kind of building this big army of stylists all over the world. This is not just in the US. We have partner stylists all over the world at this point. So you could sign up anywhere. You pay the $10 a month. You get the classes. You'll get notifications. I stay up to date with you through email. I tried to throw a bunch of stuff in there that made it basically free. There are so many benefits to being a part of the program. Now, if you don't want to pay the $10 a month, you like the free education. We're still doing free education. Obviously on this video, I'm doing a free haircut. I'm going to continue to create free content nonstop all the time. That's not what you're signing up for. You're signing up to be a part of a program that puts you on a map and makes you available for customers that are constantly reaching out to us, trying to find good stylists all over the place.

And that's really what you want when you're looking for a great salon. So hope to see you part of the program. Let's get on with today's video. Here we go. What's up guys? Welcome to today's video. So on the video today, what we're going to focus on is cutting a face frame. Now we're going to be creating a ton of texture, which I think is pretty modern now, a little bit of a shag feel to this haircut. We're going to be cutting it with a center parting. And then also this is a great haircut for thick hair because I'm going to show you guys using the Donald Scott carving comb, which is one of my favorite razor tools just because it's so versatile. There's so much you can do with it. It has a 100% cutting side and a 50% cutting side. So we're going to use our 50% cutting side to debulk. And then we're going to use 100% cutting side to cut our line. So we'll debulk cut a line. And I'm going to show you guys where to do that on the head shape, where the density shifts. So that's going to be some of the key things you'll learn in this video. Excited to show it to you. If you have any questions, let me know in the comments below. Let's get started. Here we go. All right guys. So we're going to start off by sectioning straight down the center. Now the focus of this cut is to create a really nice face frame. Take out some weight. We talked about that. So first things first, got to grab your guide. So I do my parting straight down the center. Then I take a little piece for my guide out of the right hand side. And then I'm going to take another little piece out of the left hand side. And then I'm going to cut my guideline. Now I hold that down right where I want that hair to fall. But I also don't hold it with a lot of tension. A lot of people want to pull the hair tight. Just hold it down where you want it to be, which for me, it was right around the chin. And then I cut it with the 100% cut side on the razor. This is the Donald Scott carving comb. We talked about it. We do sell it on freeslineeducation.com. It's a $40 tool. It's one of my favorite razors because it has a 100% cutting side, which is what we're going to use now. So I take a diagonal forward parting over to direct the hair to me. And then I use that 100% cutting side to slide the razor over the hair to create my line. Now my line is going to run parallel to that parting. So you'll see I slide my hand down, create that angle. And then as I work down the head shape, so as I continue to take those diagonal forward partings, I start to get where the hairline drops down into the temple area. And when that happens, that's when you get more density. So when you look at where I'm cutting currently, there's not a lot of density. It's basically the forehead to the middle of the head. So now, as I pull into that hairline, that hairline drops to the ear. That's when I start to get a little more density. So I'm going to change up my technique, which is using the 50% cutting side. I slide that down the mid shaft to end. Then I cut my line. What that's going to do is take out the bulk from the mid shaft area to create just a little bit sleeker feel to the end result to the layers. So you can see I 50% cut it, then I 100% cut the line. Just keeping that same angle, same elevation, wrapping the hair all the way around the head till you run out of hair. So and then I glide through there with the razor and give it a cut. So you can see that shape that we really created. We push the hair off the face. So for me, there's three different types of haircuts. There's open haircuts, which is opening up the face, pushing the weight back on the head. And then there's a closed haircut, which is pushing the weight towards the face. And then you have a balanced haircut, which is balancing the weight throughout the haircut, no over direction, just coming straight out from the head. So using an open layered haircut technique, it's really great for medium to longer hair to really make that hair kind of flow off of the face. So it's not hiding your guest's face. So keeping that over direction, working my way all the way to the hairline right at the temple area. Then when I get that extra density in there, that's when I go in with that 50% cutting side, take out 50% of it, then I go through and cut my line just gives me a nice sleek feel to this haircut. So one thing I want you guys to think about when you have your guests in the chair is that everybody's head is different. So I'm saying that this is a great haircut for high density hair. We're doing the 50% cutting side, but I'm not necessarily going to do that on every single head. Everybody's densities are different. So really focus on your guest's density. If they don't have high density, then don't do the 50% cut side, just do the haircut the rest the way the same way I'm doing it. Now I'm going to go in, I'm going to style this haircut so you guys can see the end result. I'm using Palmatial Neuro style reshape. It's a memory styler. So basically means that I'm going to style it this time. And then if she sprays a little water in her hair, reblows it dry or whatever, it's going to stay in the hair and help her restyle it whenever she wants. I'm going in with Palmatial Pro Tools blow dryer, give me a little bit of volume nozzle off so that I can get that extra volume in there. And I work the hair until it's about 80% dry. And then I go in with my paddle brush and I kind of work the hair mid shaft to ends to really pull some smoothness to it, because that's what I'm looking to do in this cut. So I don't want to just open up the cuticle and toss it around. I want to blow it dry, power it dry. So I'm not spending a lot of time on it. And then go through, smooth it out with the paddle brush. And then I've got the California Dreams new iron from Palmatial that they sent me. It's totally my color. And I'm going to use that to style it. I love using a wand to style the hair. I go through and roll it back away from the face. We did an open haircut to open up the face. So I go in with the wand and I pull the hair back off the face, just going to help create that style, really showcase that end result. So I'm going to finish it off with invisible wear undone texture hair spray, create some texture, really get my hands into it once that curl has set. And you could see that shape. Like, here's the thing that I love. What you'll see is how it builds up that volume on the top, but then in the sides, it gets nice and sleek. I understand the ends look a little weak. It is a mannequin head. I wanted to leave the length so it looks long. But on your guest, obviously she has shoulders. It's going to look a little bit different. Hope you guys like it. Let me know in the comments. Okay. So there's one thing I wanted to share with you guys that you may have noticed about me before, but that is the fact that I wear one type of shoe. This is the only shoe that I wear. I don't like to over complicate outfits. So this shoe is a Vans all white shoe. Obviously, as a hairdresser wearing a white shoe is not the best thing ever. But what I wanted to share with you guys is the fact that Vans, which is not a sponsor of this channel, but could be any moment if you want to. So could Zappos. Vans came out with a series of shoes that is actually for people that work in the service industry that are on their feet all the time. They're super, super comfortable. So this shoe, the one I just showed you is not that shoe, but this shoe is that shoe. So as you can see on the shoe, it says right here that it is made for the makers. So it is slip resistant, molded drop ultra cushion sock liner for all day comfort, spill resistant, treated on the upper, and then moisture wicking lining. Tough shoe for tough jobs and the people who do them slip and stain resistant with superior comfort. So again, not a sponsor. I wish they were. I buy these shoes pretty much every month. So I would love it if they would sponsor. But if you're looking for a great shoe, go check it out on Vans and the shoe for the maker. All right, guys.
