 I want to say thank you guys before I start the vlog for all of you that purchased tickets to our hands-on class This coming September 12th in New Hope, Pennsylvania There's a ton of you guys out there that purchased tickets from all over the country So I just want to say thank you for that and I'm looking forward to meeting all of you guys. Let's get started Here's our vlog. Here we go Seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, go Hey guys, welcome to the vlog today What we're gonna focus on is a men's haircut and the cool thing about today's cut is that there's not really any Disconnection so it's a very Versatile cut that you can do multiple times in the salon. This is the cut that we're doing today We're focusing on a men's business type haircut. You guys have been asking for that for quite a while So I figured today Why not do it? So that's the cut we're doing today. I think you're gonna like it I think you're gonna take a lot from the technique. Make sure if you do let me know in the comments below also hit the like button on this video if you do like it and Here we go. Let's get started. Alright guys, so we're gonna start off by parting on the left-hand side This is where you want to figure out where your guest parts their hair So if the guy parts it on the left and part on the left if he parts on the right Then build it off of the right. We're gonna create a triangle section on the top going from back mid crown down to just below the recession point of the head and I'm gonna create a small triangle on The opposite side just below the part which will give me a little bit of that weight that I can play with later So you can see that little triangle there. There's the bigger triangle line coming across the head Now I'm gonna go in and prep the hair for clipper cutting I like to do this with a comb a blow dryer and just go through and smooth the hair out in the Direction that I want to cut it so this I want to work the hair kind of back off of the face So I blow dry it that way. We're using our andus supra zr And I'm gonna go through and just take out the bulk first. So this is the ys park 209 comb I'm gonna use that to go through. It's got nice wide teeth. It's got a nice handle on it It's great for barber cutting clipper over comb cutting So I'm gonna work with that comb pretty much throughout the bottom part of this haircut So again, like I said, we're going through just cutting the bulk out The reason I'm doing that is because it just makes it easier when I go through and do my clipper cutting later With a guard so I'm not working with as much hair So we're gonna use our foreguard and I'm gonna use the blade completely open open means at the widest point and then close Would be the shortest point on the clipper, so I'm gonna go through I'm gonna do a scooping motion You can see that I follow the head shape a little bit And then I allow the curve of the head to kind of be where I pull that clipper out What that's gonna do is give me more of a graduated feel give me a little extra length around the corner Around the pridal ridge area and it starts to build that weight line Now you want to decide how much of a weight line you want to have Based on what type of cut you're going for with your guy this one I don't want to have an extreme weight line and that's why I have those The top section off because that's gonna be where the majority of my weight line is So I just run that clipper up build the weight line slightly and then I'm gonna build into it later on So watch the clipper as it goes up And this is the angle I'm gonna show you with the comb that I'm taking with the clipper So I go up into the hair and then I ride that crown out What that's gonna do is give me extra weight in the back, which I'm gonna cut Later on in the cut to kind of blend it in but I like having that little bit of extra weight in the back It gives me a nice shape on my men's cuts So just a nice little tip there for you guys now I'm gonna work the opposite side What I would normally do is ask my guest or the guy in my chair Does he like that length before I move on to the opposite side just make sure that I don't have to do the haircut twice at the very end So just finish it up You can see that angle just making sure that you keep that clipper running up the head and then out Which is gonna build up the weight right around the crown now. I'm gonna go in with my andist This is a cordless t-trimmer I like using the t-trimmer because it makes it easy to work around the ear so it gives you that little extra length on the blade to Work around the ear so that the clipper doesn't get in the way So we're just gonna go through and fine-tune the reason this is a business man's haircut is because it's nothing It's not too tight to the head You could have it that way if you wanted to you could take this a little bit tighter But I like just having it more lived-in look same reason I'm gonna go around the bottom here and kind of round off the edges. I want to follow the hairline So I'm not trying to create too much of a square look in the back This is again a way that you could customize the haircut to fit your guy Maybe he likes it more square in the back but I like to just kind of round off those edges make a real nice natural hairline and then Here's where we're gonna start working into the top. You can see where that weight line is So I let down my first little triangle section and now I'm gonna blend that into the sides And what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna work diagonal back, which is gonna allow the hair to kind of flow off of the face But I'm gonna work straight out from the head and then as I work up more towards the parietal ridge I start to drop my elevation what that's gonna do We all know is to build up that weight line and allow the hair. So using that diagonal back Parting and then low elevation gives me a weight line that flows back along the head shape So one thing I really want you guys to focus on is allowing the head shape to create your weight for you We're just being aware of the head shape and what it's doing and how much weight it's creating Because the more I bring up from this section the more I move up on the head and keep that low elevation The heavier it's getting because of the way that the head is curving So I'm using the head shape to create the weight now if they had a really thick density Hair then as I worked up the head I would probably want to do a higher elevation because My weight would be too heavy in the haircut So you've got to be aware of how much density the guest has and the head shape as you're cutting So now this is my favorite part. We're creating a blend right into the recession point But what I'm doing is using a stationary guide and keeping that heaviest point towards the tip of my fingers So what's happening is it's building Extra length towards the back towards the parting of the hair So and with that extra weight gives you a little bit more height and density in the top of the head So we wanted to kind of kick up The hair so it stays back, but then blends on the side That's what separates this from kind of that normal disconnected haircut that you're seeing nowadays This is what makes it more business friendly because it has that blend on the side So keeping that blend you can see how it blends in but then that kick of longer hair on the very top Which he can slick back or slick over and it fits really nice if you're wearing a suit or any kind of business attire or You can mess it up and wear it however you want in your day-to-day life So finishing up the haircut with a little bit of point cutting to blend the back and then I go in with my blow dryer Now a lot of guys don't use a blow dryer But I'm telling you now if you're not a hairdresser and you're watching this trying to get ideas for your next haircut at the Salon or the barbershop? Blow drying is the key to creating your style if you want to have a style that stays all day You have to use the heat from the blow dryer to get it the shape that you want So you push the hair in the direction that you want it to go and then You use the product just to hold it there So you could see I haven't put any product in this mannequins hair yet, but I've used the heat now I'm going in with my brocado car, which is one of my favorite products It's a texture cream or texture icing they call it and I just use a fingertip of that I start by kind of working it into the sides then through the top Slowly applying the product throughout but just make sure if your hairdresser watching this which you probably are Make sure you coach your guys on this because this is something that a lot of guys are afraid of a blow dryer But it really does make a style count and those of you that are looking to get good Instagram photos and things like that Blow drying it exactly where you want it then applying the product is the key to getting that good picture The the finishing touches are what it's all about in those little details I use the brocado maximum hold hairspray to get my final look in there and to hold it all day and That is the haircut.
