My mum, who is a retired 80 year old hairdresser, used this tutorial to cut my hair into a shag. I am so pleased with the results, just getting to grips with styling it well with rollers. Mum said the tutorial was excellent and super easy for her to follow. Thanks again!!

I did hair for many yrs, but it has also been many yrs, since in a shop or doing it on a regular basis. Almost 50 yrs ago, (eeek lol) when I was 8 y/o, I wanted a shag so bad, but they told us they wouldn't do it, bcuz my hair was stick straight..I was so bummed! Lol Now, it's just been long, about middle of back now, as I just took about 3 1/2" off of it a few mins ago, but since it started graying, it got wavy, and I could totally do it now! 😀 I have longer bangs already, that frame my upper face, but it's fine, and has thinned out some, so this is perfect for some body around my crown & sides, as I have a small head & slim face, so it would also help to add some fullness in my face, w/out having to take really any more length off. I've done my own hair for the last 12 yrs @ least, and I need a change! 👍 You made it so easy to understand & follow, especially since I've done it so long, that I'm pretty sure I can do it myself as well, as I don't trust many ppl..why I got into the business!! Lol I made it a priority to LISTEN to what ppl wanted 💜 It will be a drastic change, but I'm ready! Thank you for making these videos! You have a talent to teach! Take care! 🙋

God bless your mom! She has the soul or a real hairdresser: always learning and loving anything new!!!

i watched this right before taking my first shag cut client & she LOVED IT. said it was the best haircut she’s ever gotten - thank you!!!!

Just finished cutting my own shag. I have curly hair and it’s perfection. This video is going to save me $$$$$$$$$$$$$$

You’ve literally explained this easier than anyone has… almost every video is either exceedingly too long, or the videos sort of close to the length of your video are included with way too many steps… brilliant! Thank you!

In 2023 this is a very sound tutorial to follow for new and seasoned stylists. Very much appreciated

I'm 62 and I've had the shag cut since I was 14yrs old,I have over the years tried different styles,most recently the bob cut,I tried to put up with it but it's a style that always looks perfect and neat,nor not for me like my hair scruffy and shaggy.

Same here. Same age, same haircut since around the same age too!

The results of this really looked absurdly good for how absurdly easy it was after your great tutorial. Thanks so much.

A few months back after 2 years I went to the hair salon again to get a shag haircut and the hairstylist just ruined my hair, I'm excited I found your tutorial, I'm going to try and cut my hair ^^

This is literally the most perfect shagg I have ever seen. 😍Thank you for the clear instructions! 👍🏻

Glad you appreciate the video thank you for your comment

I'm at work (at the salon) and needed a refresher for a shag, and I found this. It's different than how I usually do it but I tried anyway and it turned out BEAUTIFUL. 10/10 Just make sure you're still doing the extra detailing work once it's dry and it'll be 🤌🏻

Just did it! With my mid long hair I am not a hair dresser but I am really proud of the result TY for sharing your knowledge

i cant thank you enough for creating this straight to the point video. Simple and easy to understand. I get really frustrated at the tutorials that are 45 minutes long for no good reason

Just did this cut on a client, total game changer! It was adorable, thank you so much for the tutorial!

This was the hairstyle I grew up with. Farrah Fawcett kinda started it but Stevie Nick's, Ann and Nancy Wilson had it and every girl in my generation had this cut. Going forward a couple decades and I could NOT FIND hairstylist that had even heard of it. Try describing it... it's hard. Saying yiu wanted "Feathered Hair" was a start but... again that wasn't a descriptive description used in the hair styling world. When I saw my first video about the "Butterfly Cut" and the more complicated version "the wolf cut" I was so happy I cried! Not kidding!! I could FINALLY get my hair back to looking fabulous and i could do it myself!!! And so I did and it looks AMAZING??? I'LL never have to pay for a haircut again!! Thanks to All the people taking credit for this cut. Us good looking "Cougars" are gettin' our Groove back! Now if only Disco Bars would come back in style again, our lives could once again be PERFECT! ...Oh.. the Black Angus Restaurants had the BEST LIGHTED DANCE FLOORS EVER!!! They had mirror balls hanging everywhere! The guys looked so good in their 'Angel Flight" suits. They came in blue, yellow, WHITE like John Travolta wore in Saturday Night Fever!! 😎Oh I'm making myself cry here. I have SUCH GREAT MEMORIES from that decade! I wish we could go back! I'd trade in every computer, smart phone, Smart TV, Smart watch, Starbucks card, EVERYTHING invented in these past 40 years... to go back to those sweet, simpler times in a heartbeat!!🥹

Omg!! You and me both girl!! If only we could just go back for a short time!!! I miss those days so much!! I get lost in thoughts as I reminisce about those wonderful, simplistic times, when living was fun, and very relaxed. No crazy computers, or cell phones. Just the good ole days, going to concerts, cruising the “drag” in our classic 67’ Camaro’s, or any cool car for that matter. Cranking up the tunes of April Wine, Journey, Yes, Styx, Pink Floyd, Boston, and many many others. And I too had that Farrah Fawcett cut, as did everyone in the early 80’s. After graduation, I went on to the Beauty School for the 9-12 month program. I never finished tho because my brother was killed in a car wreck, and I just couldn’t go back. That was the only part of my life back then that I get sad about. But I know my brother, and he wouldn’t want me to be sad, so I’m a lot better than I was…and that was 40 yrs ago!!! Thank you Susan Martin for your post, and I’m so glad there are people out there that are still very much in tune with those great yrs.❤❤❤

@OliveYoo864 we need to meet each other. I think you'd be a great friend. ThisI've NEVER had someone respond to one of my comments like you did, ever before.! I'm Susan and I'm 65. I graduated in 1976... the Bicentennial wooo!! Not. They made us wear red, white and blue cap & gowns for our graduation and we were all SOOO PISSED! Our school colors were green and gold! And the gowns came with this stupid looking sash with a liberty bell on it. Nobody knew how or where to wear those things, so we just faked it! 😂😅 300 seniors had our graduation pictures were ALL WEARING THEM BACKWARDS!! They were supposed to go down the back of the robes. We all looked like patriotic Mr, T's coz we wore them with the gold bell hanging in front😂. It didn't matter! We graduated highschool!! Every thing you said made me smile! Check this out. I found Bewitched on Tubi. I've been binge watching every single season from start to finish! I can't explain how it's made me feel. So nostalgic. Olive green dial phones with a cord in the wall. Olive green and harvest gold EVERYTHING!!! Our kitchens looked exactly like each other's. There is a little can on the shelf in Samantha's kitchen. It's tin has little Asian (we said "oriental" and that wasn't racist ). My mom had the same exact tin can on the shelf in our kitchen. Oh my..I have gone on haven't I? Forgive me. It's just so nice to read words written by someone from MY PLANET!!🤗🥰💚💛...oh my ! I just realized your name IS Olive!!😂😂🤣. Nice to meet you Olive. I hope to see you in here again! Good bless the 60s and 70s. .. the 80s were OK but certainly not the same at all. We were in our 20s then... things weren't as cool and easy then. That was when we had to find jobs and pay for our own stuff! I was never a college girl. 🎶MEMORIES...LIGHT THE CORNERS OF OUR MINDS🎵 🎶LA LA DEE THE WAY WE WERE!!

I know exactly what you meant when you said the olive colored items. Remb the shag carpet? The either green puke looking kind or the burnt orange?!! And the guys and their silk shiny shirts, and us girls with our leather chockers, bell bottom Levi’s and gunny sack dresses!!! And that bright blue eyeshadow and pale pink lipstick!!! I’m a 64 model, lol but I will be 60 this coming August!! I really would like to meet you!! Did I pick up on an English sentence from you? Let’s see, I lived in England back in 1992-93. My job sent me there on special assignment. (It wasn’t as glamorous as it sounds, lol) but nevertheless, I toured 8 dif countries during my time off. No way would I have been able to afford to do that had it not been for my work as a modular machine operator. Hey, do you love to rollerskate? I LOVE to but the rink here where I live closed down! I used to go and skate to the Doobie Brothers Black Water, and Earth Wind & Fire, kool and the gang, even a little Rickie Lee jones with chuckies in love!! Anyway, sure let’s keep in touch!!

Just did this on myself… I’ve never had bangs before. Omg I’m in love!! Perfect tutorial, thank you!! ❤

I’m not a hair dresser should i try this?

This is the best tutorial I’ve seen on this! I’m a former hairdresser but it’s been a long time and I never learned how to cut my own. I was able to do this on myself with success. Thanks so much-I love supporting my stylist but I pay so much for color, I appreciate the savings of cutting it myself.

Thank you so much! I always love a shag on my hair because it makes my waves look great, but it's very intimidating to cut yourself. This is an excellent tutorial

Just did this on myself and it's SO cute. I went a little longer than my endplan, and I think I'll go back and shorten my bangs after I see how it sits in a few days. Thank you!

Just did mine 5 mins ago and it turned out great. I’ve been doing this haircut since hairdressing school in 1988, lol. I kept my bangs between my nose & chin as I don’t do bangs bangs. I left my length which is nearly to my bum but gave myself lots of layers and angled it towards my face. I took very little off the back as I didn’t have much when I pulled it up for the center sections. I blended it with my razor knife, and used my thinning shears to take out any of the straight edges. I point cut my bangs as they were still really long and pulled right over to left eye & left side over to right eyebrow to cut it to get the angles I wanted.

I tried to cut my hair like this, and it turned out really well! I’m not experienced in cutting hair at all but video was really easy to follow so thank you‼️

Love the shag!! Thanks so much for your tutorials!!! 🙏🏼🤗

Thank you so much for this!!! I can’t wait to use this technique today on my client. Thank you for giving such clear instructions, every step of the way. I was a little bit nervous, but now I’m excited. Yay!!❤

Omg thank you so much for posting this! I had been trying to find an easy shag haircut tutorial and wasn’t having any luck. This worked perfect!!! Thank you!

Just did this on my own hair and works great! The hardest part was sectioning my own hair with one hand while holding a mirror in the other lol

Just did this cut and couldn't be happier!! I had straight hair down to my hips that was cut straight across. Followed this video and just made a few adjustments for the length of my hair. First round was at about my check bones and did two more sections in the back that I pulled forward the same, but cut one at my shoulders and one at the end of my ribcage. Then I went back and made a few pieces around my face about the length of my nose. Looks like Nicole Kidman from the movie practical magic 😍 Thank you for the easy and well executed tutorial!!!!

Two more sections from the back? From the back section? How did you divide it? You pulled it to front and cut it square like the rest in the beggining of video? If you wouldn’t mind I would love to add you on some socials so you could send me a picture there (visual representation might be better than talking, especially since I’m not a native speaker). I would appreciate it so much, it’s my dream to finally cut my hair, but since my hair is the same lenght yours was, I’m afraid I might mess it up looking at tutorials of much shorter hair 🥺♥️

Wow! Great technique. My hair looks so cute. Thanks so much!

Thank you! I’m not one for putting my hair in a ponytail and chopping it off LOL! Excited to see a tutorial where you can adjust the outcome easily. Going to try this tonight 😍

Just did that myself and it turned out great! Thanks for sharing the knowledge!

This is my favourite haircut and I've been able to do it myself and maintain it thanks to you 💜xx

Best tutorial ever!!!! I love my hair now 😍🥰 thank you for explaining this so easily!

My mama went to cosmetology School in the mid-60s and this was a haircut that she learned and used often. My sissy wants to get one now and it seems like a lot of hairdressers just don't know how to do it. Thank you so much for this tutorial!

Thanks for the instructions, it turned out great. I left the bangs a little longer and it looks great. The cut is perfect for my waves.

I wanted this cut when i was very young. It's absolutely perfection.

Amo esta clase 😄 love love love! You are an amazing teacher. Muchas gracias 🙂

Awesome - thanks for this. I agree that sometimes the back looks too thin and wispy. I also think sometimes it looks like a bowl cut from the ears up - too heavy & separate. But I like this cut. Thank you again.

Scared to go back to a salon. I had them put a perm in my straight as a board virgin hair and they burned it. It broke off in the front and was frizzy in the back. It was a mess. I just went for it having never cut my hair on my own and it worked. Might not be exactly even but it is cute....thanks

Thank you so much! that was so diy too... you rock cutting hair 2, dont let anyone say other, -d

I already have a lot of layers from doing the unicorn cut (pulling all of my hair to the front of my head in a ponytail and chopping) on my hair, can I still do this as well?

Honestly wasn’t expecting it to work but DAMNNNNN. Never had something work so easily

How often do you get the right type of hair ,length volume and youth, coming in for a cut easy on a silent model.

Planning on doing this to my own hair! I'm gonna do a Long Shag, I have 45inch so I'm 100% sure I'm gonna struggle + I'm gonna be doing Curtain Bangs

Just wondering if it will work on my curly hair. I'll try anyway!

I’m gonna do this when I get home

Just used this to do my hair (its down to my butt and i kept most of my length I took bout an inch of the ends too but, otherwise..) I took cosmo in high-school and used to love this cut and would rock it most of my high-school years but, it's been awhile tho so figured I'd use a tutorial as my safest bet lol...its not dry yet like, it's still damp.. buuut so, far it looks cute..

Magnifique ❤❤

Nice one!

Love it!!!!!!!👌👌

i love the look of a shag but my sides are shaved (think super grown out mullet), would i still be able to do the sections with that side bit of hair missing?
