I KNEW it was because of layering, I keep telling my hairdresser I want layers and she just keeps giving me long layers “so your hair’s all one length” NO! DON’T WANT IT ALL ONE LENGTH, I WANNA LOOK LIKE I JUST GOT OUT OF BED, BUT ALL THE TIME

So true, soooo many attempts to get good layering at salons and in the end I've ended up doing it myself for the past few years. It feels like stylists don't get excited about doing a cut. They like doing color.

OMG ! You are a master, Jake ! You cut hair like Jay Sebring, who was my mother's friend. He cut Jim Morrisons hair of The Doors. My mother learned his method, so I remember her doing a lot of these cuts in the 70s. I appreciate the tips now that she's gone since I'm not a professional. I'm learning so much from your vids ! Thank you & God Bless you !

My mom was a hairstylist in the 80's now I am too and I saw her do layers just like this, I do too, actually now that all the girls want it, I'm very popular right now. It wasn't called shaggy then just feathered layers.

Always loved the shag as far back as I can remember. I've been everywhere from lower end salons to high end ones and your right NOBODY can do this cut. I'm done with salons. I love your tutorials, their the best ones out there. You've helped me so much! I'm going to get the right tools and and cut this myself. Thanks Jake!!

This is quite simply the EASIEST shag tutorial I have ever watched!! Thank you so much!

I am In long island ny,and after 8 months of growing out bad layers done in Florida I watched several of your videos on shag cut which I love,and so we are having a heat wave here this week and yestarday I was tired of my bun,and took another shot and went to salon asked for layers ,told her like a shag and showed a picture,well I didnt get it. I came home didn't cry cause I know hair grows back. What I did was get a jar and put $5 in it and the lable I made reads, " Saving For A Jake Thompson Haircut" so there it is ill see you in 6-8mons it will take to get my length back !

In the 80's I cut so many of these. Still wear a shag of sorts today!! Great video as usual!

Thank You sooooo much! None of my shags have looked like shags! They all look like long layers! Now I got it!

I agree 100%. Just been to two hairdressers in the past week asking for this I still have more of a boring Bob, it’s not not layered and it looks square. Thank you for this!! 🙏🙏😘😘

Jake, I love that you give a fabulous shag & it’s not complicated. This is a keeper..and so are You! Thanks Jake! 😁

I'm going to save this and tell my hairdresser this is how I want my hair cut and do it just like he did. Awesome hair cut 💇‍♀️. Tfs.

Please please!! Been trying for years to get a shag! Still no luck. I have the best hair for it, a bit wavy! Just like you said, I wouldnt have to style at all,,bed head look, I'll be a hair model for free!! You wouldn't be disappointed

lack of layer angle seemed to be common in early pivot point (common US technique) although over and under direction of cutting angle was present in the teachings. Vidal Sassoon, credited as it's creator, taught the Shag as one of his must know haircuts which was crazy stuff for the day! I learnt that version in 87 and still use it to the surprise of most hairdressers today ...

Love the old-school technique. We did this everyday in the 70’s. 👌💕

You are so right........simple is better.......all the extra time spent by stylists over cutting the hair after drying undoes what they did do.. Very nice demo of a truly well done layered shag. Thanks.

Hi Jake..love your channel and watching you do your magic! I did this cut on my front section and it turned out so good! I was stunned as my hair was a bit uneven on both sides and square looking as I'm growing out a bob but my back section was already somwhat slightly Shagged...if i could come to you for a haircut I would but I live in Australia...it is so hard to find a good hairdresser who knows what their doing and have the technique, experience and passion like you do..your amazing and I admire your talent and giftedness.

I used Jakes tutorial to give myself a shag haircut & it turned out AWESOME! Thank You so much for the videos,I can't really afford to get my hair done but with Your help,my hair looks good!! Thank You!! I wish I could post a picture,You'd be proud of Me!! Lol

I always know if a stylist knows how to cut my hair - if they start from the bottom, they don't. I had a stylist tell me the other day that they needed to cut the length first for a "perimeter". I was like, "Nope". Thank god she told me this over the phone, now I know not to go.

That's right,I've never had a shag cut I liked. It always looked out of proportion. It would always wind up a little below my neck to, the very bottom would be so thin to. I gave up on it. I always had to style it or it looked terrible every time.

Love your tutorials. I wish you lived in the Northern Virginia area!! I love the shag haircut but I can never find a professional that does them good. Coming to VA anytime soon?

That's how I do it start like I'm going to do a Mohawk and use thinner sections of hair I get a ton of layers that way takes a little longer but it's so worth it

I am in North Texas and can't find a good hairdresser! I used to love my hair so much, now it's short and don't know what hairdresser to chose. If you can give me some advice on where I can find a good hairdresser. Thanks for your video.

My hairdresser says my hair is too fine to layer too much. My hair is fine but it has a nice wave to it which makes me think this would be a great haircut on me. Can this be done on fine hair? I’m saving this in a file called “bring to hairdresser “😂

Hey Cathy, yes it can be done on fine hair. The only thing your hairdresser needs to do is cut your layers & bottom length with a more blunt line, avoid adding any texture or making the ends thinner etc. I talk about cutting for fine hair in this video(kzread.info/dash/bejne/lIOqkpV7m6bPoKw.html) Good luck Cathy!

Yes awesome i just need the camera zoomed in a bit more oft, so i can see your lines & cuttings ..lol i too am an older gal, hairdresser, good to see if i cut any layers like u, love and appreciate your vids!!! The vid where you were cold and dressed warmer u talked of being older & NOT liking the cold as much now. Yes i hear u! Don't you hv at least 1 heater in your hair yt studio!? 🤔

Love this cut 😃🥰👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Texas Lady😊

Just going to be honest, you look exactly like Nick Kroll with longer grey hair. And I live for it.

I was considering using your DIY shag video. But now I’m wondering if I should do this one on myself. Is it possible to hold my hair at that angle for the front and back and cut it? I sent a video to a stylist before like two weeks before my appointment and we talked shag and lots of layers at the appointment, she only trimmed my perimeter, texturized my bangs and used thinning shears to remove weight from the back. I was so disappointed. I have a large step in back of my head/hair and looks very weird.

Wish you wer in uk hairdressers dnt seem to get anything right over here .

It all seems so easy when i see your videos, I've just been cut by a salon and the layers are just not layering!!! Problem is, how am I going to do this on myself? AND how can do it if I already have cuts in my hair... I'm too scared to mess up my hair haha

What is the major difference between a Shag and a French Shag Cut? Cannot find video on French Shaf.

How do we book with you?

I was told thinner or finer hair should not be layered, so a shag is most suitable for normal to thicker hair I presume

Guys!

So, if hairdressers can't do this, how do I find one who can? I just relocated from SoCA to NoCA and I have no idea how to find a hairdresser who can cut my thin hair into a shag.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Too many hairstylists leave the layers too long. It’s an after effect of “the Rachel”. I haven’t been able to get a good shag since that stupid haircut became popular in the 90 s

Very true, they are ridiculous 🙄 made me crazy hair cut 💇‍♀️ they failed many time... they need more education n guide...

❤️🙏👍

My theory is that current hairdressers are more into coloring because that's what makes more money. Another thing is that they're used to women not cutting their hair much because you see the Bella Hadids, Gigi Hadids, or the Kardashian-Jenners with long waves. A boring look if you ask me. So many hairdressers get comfortable and don't hone their skills when it comes to haircutting. That's my humble opinion.
