I have been through so many stylists that cannot grasp what I ask for. It's so frustrating. I'm a dog stylist for 36 yrs and I understand how hair flows. If I could reach around my head I would cut my own hair. I can't even get stylists to look at photos to help explain the look I'm looking for. I have the perfect texture and thickness for this cut. I may try the ponytail shag cut and do it myself. Thanks for listening to my vents ;)

You did such a good job, but she looked totally ungrateful the entire time.

oh my god. This is the perfect shag cut. I've been researching forever for something not as CHOPPY as the ones I've seen. When I first fell in love with the cut, it was just like this.

I knew we would be seeing the cool early 80s rock looks again. 37 years in the industry and this is one of the most powerful feminine styles for a woman. It exudes strength and sensuality.

Absolutely V Den! I couldn't agree more! Love the easy of these styles, plus it has such a timeless feel.

I've been a hairdresser for many years, and have cut lots of shags! I love watching videos like yours because I always learn something new 😊 I think it's SO important for stylists to continue to learn & grow. Our craft is ever changing and we need to stay up with the changes through constant education 💯 Thanks for making these videos!

WOW !!! I just tried the bang portion on my bangs and they have NEVER looked BETTER !!! ( Unfortunately, my hair is much thinner, and head shape is different, so mine aren't as thick as your example ) , but nonetheless, I am sooooo grateful for this fantastic demonstration ! You are so talented and an EXCELLENT instructor - TY so much !

When you said "this is where the fringe lives..." ... how very bob ross. Haha. Love it

Omg, I just cut my bangs and they turned out amazing!! I took my time and did a bit at a time, so worth it. Thank you for your video and your clear explanations, so easy to follow. I watched several videos and decided to follow your technique because it was the easiest. Thank you, thank you!!! Now if I could just gather the courage to cut the rest of my hair, that would be great too. I have long wavy hair and I’m terrified to mess up something in the back that I can’t see, lol.

This is such an amazingly executed educational video. As a barber I see a lot of videos on youtube or even insta ( especially for a shag or mullet) that you can tell the stylist doesn't have a routine for cutting and just fumbled around and ended up with a resemblance of whatever cut it may be and thought "that kinda worked" then put up a how to video, where as its obvious you actually work in a salon and know how to properly do the haircut and have clean and confident sections and know exactly how the cut is gona turn out!! That really makes me happy its a one time watch and a competent stylist can easily now perform the cut, knowing the exact way to cut each section..really a proper educator and thats really refreshing/exciting to see. Definitely gonna subscribe! 🙌

@@dumdum7749 hey that’s awesome! I hope you’re feeling better, I am all too familiar with that feeling & I know that sucks. I honestly just love bangs, I have had them on and off my whole life, and then when I found the best hair dresser I’ve ever had back in 2016 I trusted her to do the bangs, and she actually gave me a shag haircut with curtain bangs from what I told/described to her I wanted and it was awesome. I maintained that with her for years, then like 10 weeks after a cut I was like I need a bang trim I can’t see 😆- she was out of town and I was like well how hard is a bang trim it’s just what I have, but shorter - well a guy literally cut my bangs straight across, didn’t point cut and all of the hair I had framing my face was now a THICK A$$ bang. That was in 2019 and now my hair is finally manageable! I was so embarrassed to tell her I went to another guy! She softened them up and taught me how to do a trim (she was just short of an hour drive) so she knew I was committed to just seeing her. Then enter the pandemic - so now that I’m confident with the bang trim I really want to go for the full shag cut on myself. If you read that journey thanks LOL hair is a big deal to me. Have you colored your own hair?

Thank you so much! This is so beautiful

Old school stylist here. Everything old is new again!! Old fashioned face framing. I believe Paul mcgregor created it for Jane Fonda ! To my knowledge it became popular because it was her that was the first well known person to have it , doesn’t mean someone else didn’t have it. And the term shag i think he coined because of the styles unkempt appearance. At the end of the day it’s just a layered cut. A good one but just layers. Great styles never go away !! Love the video !!
