00:00 Are we live?
00:02 Live?
00:04 Are we live? Perfect!
00:06 Hello my friends on Facebook and Instagram.
00:08 Here we are live in Berlin.
00:10 And we are live from a friend of my salon.
00:12 Eh, friend of my salon.
00:14 Eh, salon of my friend.
00:16 It's called Bernd Kramer Hair Design in Berlin.
00:18 In Prenzlauer Berg.
00:20 And we are doing something really special today for you.
00:22 What we are going to do is
00:24 we are going to cut a double demonstration.
00:26 So I will cut a demonstration for you
00:28 and my friend Bernd at the same time.
00:30 And something really cool about this
00:32 is that
00:34 you can ask questions.
00:36 You can ask them in English, in German and in Spanish.
00:38 I will answer the questions
00:40 in Spanish afterwards.
00:42 And whatever you want to ask,
00:44 feel free to ask.
00:46 Bernd has a project
00:48 which is called Simply Cutting.
00:50 So he will tell you a lot about this.
00:52 And I'm really excited.
00:54 Hola mis amigos en Facebook.
00:56 Aqui estamos en Berlin.
00:58 Eh, en un salon de mi amigo Bernd.
01:00 Eh, y el tiene un proyecto
01:02 muy interesante.
01:04 El tiene un proyecto que se llama
01:06 Simply Cutting.
01:08 En unos minutos el va a hablar
01:10 acerca de su proyecto.
01:12 Aqui tenemos mi modelo.
01:14 Mi modelo Martina.
01:16 Ya estaba cortando un poquito.
01:18 Y que hizo es que
01:20 estaba cortando
01:22 la parte atras.
01:24 Y estaba cortando una
01:26 unas capas
01:28 y una graduacion redondo.
01:30 Con una desconexion
01:32 en la parte
01:34 en esta parte.
01:36 Y tambien estaba cortando una graduacion
01:38 redondo al lado.
01:40 Tambien con una desconexion.
01:42 Y ahora voy a cortar la parte
01:44 arriba. So this is my model Martina.
01:46 What I already did with Martina
01:48 I was cutting like
01:50 sort of a square layer coming into a graduation
01:52 round. I disconnected this
01:54 sort of two triangles
01:56 and I will not connect them to make them
01:58 stronger. And I also cut
02:00 some sort of round gradation on the side
02:02 and also with some sort of disconnection.
02:04 So we will work something more creative
02:06 and I will show you how I'm going to
02:08 cut the top. This is my friend
02:10 Bernd from Berlin, from BIMGAM
02:12 and Ericsson. And Bernd is going to
02:14 introduce himself and
02:16 talk about his project.
02:18 Hello and welcome to
02:20 this nice evening with these little
02:22 haircuts. My name is Bernd Kramer
02:24 and this is my
02:26 lovely model Anna. And
02:28 what I'm going to do on her hair is
02:30 I already took a section
02:32 like a diamond section on
02:34 top of the head that leaves
02:36 out like a fringe part here.
02:38 And the diamond section will
02:40 be layered shorter.
02:42 On this side here in the back
02:44 I already started with
02:46 a round gradation technique.
02:48 So I'm going to work
02:50 on the outline later.
02:52 On this side here
02:54 I want to keep
02:56 a bit more length
02:58 and put like a really
03:00 nice solid outline into
03:02 here. This side
03:04 here I'm going to show you a nice
03:06 like a really nice trick.
03:08 I'm going to work with a round gradation
03:10 technique through this side.
03:12 And then later I'm going to layer
03:14 this little corner that's going to give
03:16 in the top here I'm going to layer it flatter
03:18 so that the fringe part can
03:20 fall over here. And here we've got
03:22 our disconnected
03:24 like shorter
03:26 layer part.
03:28 What I'm going to do
03:30 first is, let me just show you the
03:32 first section. It's
03:34 quite important. What I'm going to do first
03:36 is I'm going to leave out
03:38 my very first section on this side
03:40 here just to keep
03:42 some more options later on
03:44 to work with a bit more weight
03:46 into the outline. And I'm going to start
03:48 my round gradation technique with
03:50 basically with my second section
03:52 on this side.
03:54 Sounds amazing right?
04:00 Now what I'm going to do now because I already
04:08 cut this shape sort of internally
04:10 and now I will sort of
04:12 enhance it more by cutting the
04:14 outlines. I will first start
04:16 in the front opening the face using the tip
04:18 of the scissors and
04:20 following the natural sort of
04:22 hairline to make it look stronger.
04:24 Because you know the hair is
04:26 not the most simple hair to
04:28 cut because it's really really
04:30 sort of bleached hair. We still
04:32 need to do the toner again afterwards
04:34 to make it look like even. But
04:36 the hair still is, you know, the
04:38 quality of the hair is
04:40 tricky to work on but I like it because I like
04:42 to have a challenge.
04:44 And yeah I already pre-tried
04:46 the hair as well. The top is still
04:48 wet so I will cut it wet.
04:50 And you know a little trick, if you want
04:52 to follow sort of the contours of the
04:54 hairline, what you can do is
04:56 it's about using your elbow. Okay?
04:58 So what happens to
05:00 many people is that
05:02 it doesn't look round, it looks
05:04 more sort of like this.
05:06 And it's
05:08 about using the elbow. Of course what happens
05:10 to many people is that they're young
05:12 and then they remember like "Oh I need
05:14 to lift my elbow." And then
05:16 they have this sort of triangle
05:18 instead of a rounded shape.
05:20 So it's really to start
05:22 in the roundness and then with
05:24 each snip of the scissors getting
05:26 the elbow up so that your scissors
05:28 are going to move into this round
05:30 sort of shape.
05:32 I'm just
05:34 working here
05:36 in the area
05:38 just behind the ear as you can see
05:40 the graduation progresses
05:42 around here. I'm going to take
05:44 parallel sections till
05:46 I reach the part of my first side
05:48 here. And as you can see this is
05:50 my very first section that I left
05:52 out for now. I'm going to connect
05:54 it internally later
05:56 but for now I want to work
05:58 on my graduated
06:00 part here. As you can see
06:02 the sections are
06:04 slightly curved
06:06 so I really
06:08 work on my guideline
06:14 and work like into a rounded shape
06:16 because I'm working into a round
06:18 graduation technique. I really
06:20 want to follow
06:22 the head shape.
06:24 Do you have any tips
06:30 for following the head shape in terms of
06:32 body position or something like this?
06:34 It depends on
06:36 but normally when I
06:38 follow the head shape
06:40 my body position is quite
06:42 like let's say into a
06:44 90 degree angle to the
06:46 sectioning. And when I
06:48 follow the head shape I also
06:50 follow around my client
06:52 or model so that
06:54 I can really make sure from
06:56 beginning that I don't over
06:58 direct the hair too much in any
07:00 direction. Not to build
07:02 up weight where
07:04 I don't really need the weight then.
07:06 So do you want to tell us a little bit about your company
07:16 about your project, about Simply Cutting?
07:18 What is it about?
07:20 What's your goal with it?
07:22 Yeah, of course.
07:24 Simply Cutting is
07:28 a way
07:30 to
07:32 let's say it different
07:34 Simply Cutting is
07:36 designed to help
07:38 people
07:40 to have constant training
07:42 for their team, for their
07:44 employees or for their assistants.
07:46 It is based on 8
07:50 haircuts that can be
07:52 combined in any kind of way.
07:54 I'm demonstrating
07:56 the haircuts in Simply Cutting.
07:58 And what is quite
08:02 important is that these
08:04 haircuts are connected
08:06 one to each other.
08:08 So it's a
08:10 complete system that is closed
08:12 and that can be
08:14 used as a work guide
08:16 for like, let's say for new
08:18 students
08:20 and for
08:24 apprentices.
08:26 That was the word that I was searching for.
08:28 I'm going to explain that in German as well because
08:32 I have
08:34 many people watching from Germany
08:36 and I want to explain for them
08:38 in German as well what Simply Cutting is about.
08:40 By Simply Cutting,
08:44 Simply Cutting is designed
08:46 to train
08:48 people
08:50 who have their own salon,
08:52 who have a team,
08:54 to support them in creating
08:56 a consistent hairstyle team statement.
08:58 So there are 8 haircuts that can be
09:02 combined one to another.
09:04 By Simply Cutting is also
09:06 a very big and very important
09:08 theory part.
09:10 It's not supposed to
09:14 replace the
09:18 classical training,
09:20 but to supplement it.
09:22 It's supposed to take away the
09:24 work of the trainer,
09:26 which he can then use for other things.
09:28 It's not about
09:32 cutting hair for laypeople
09:34 at home,
09:36 and it's also not about
09:38 not taking care of
09:40 the training
09:42 for seminars,
09:44 but rather as
09:46 ongoing teaching,
09:48 as a teaching tool.
09:50 With this,
09:54 you can train
09:56 and practice at any time.
09:58 I work in the videos
10:00 at Simply Cutting on training heads,
10:02 so that these haircuts
10:04 can be worked on
10:06 exactly one to one.
10:08 And so you can create
10:12 a solid technique
10:14 based on English
10:16 hair cutting techniques
10:18 for the whole team.
10:20 If you are interested in
10:22 Simply Cutting,
10:24 you can either
10:26 go to simplycutting.com,
10:28 where you can book
10:30 the haircuts,
10:32 or you can also
10:34 email info@simplycutting.com.
10:36 [Sounds amazing!]
10:38 [So, is it based, basically,
10:44 for German hairdressers?]
10:46 [Is it, you do it in German?]
10:48 I do it in German.
10:50 It's for the German market,
10:52 but it will be,
10:54 or let's say so,
10:56 the idea is that it's going to be
10:58 translated into English as well.
11:00 Just to offer it to more people.
11:02 Maybe you want to translate it
11:04 into Spanish, if you like.
11:06 I quite like this part here.
11:14 I like the softness through here.
11:16 I want to connect
11:18 the internal graduation,
11:20 but I want to leave some bits
11:22 out here, and then I'm going to
11:24 come into the layered part
11:26 of the diamond shape.
11:28 [Sounds amazing!]
11:30 You can see that
11:36 I take a section,
11:38 and I just lift
11:40 the hair out,
11:42 and connect the internal
11:44 graduation, without touching
11:46 the length, basically.
11:50 So, I've got, here
11:52 is everything connected, but this part
11:54 here, I'm going to leave it disconnected
11:56 for now.
11:58 So, I'm going to come
12:06 to the diamond
12:08 shape on top,
12:10 and here I want to
12:12 cut a short
12:14 layered part.
12:16 [Music]
12:18 Hey, by the way,
12:28 lots of hello and hi.
12:30 Where from?
12:32 So, Albert Bachmann
12:34 writes "Hallo, ihr beiden!"
12:36 Hallo, Albert!
12:38 Hallo, Albert!
12:40 I've been to Albert's seminar
12:42 two weeks ago.
12:44 I was with a seminar with Albert Bachmann
12:46 in Zuckerberg, in
12:48 Rostal, two weeks ago,
12:50 with an amazing three days of
12:52 foundation hair cutting.
12:54 So, hello to everyone,
12:56 if you just joined in.
12:58 I'm Markus, I'm the director and founder of
13:00 MG Education, and MG Education
13:02 is an international education company.
13:04 That means, wherever you want
13:06 a seminar with us, we will come there.
13:08 So, if it is in Peru, if it is in
13:10 Colombia, we will come there.
13:12 MG Education is an international company,
13:14 and I'm Markus,
13:16 director and founder of MG Education.
13:18 And,
13:20 wherever in the world you want,
13:22 it doesn't matter, I'll go
13:24 to your salon, to your academy.
13:26 And today, I had
13:28 the confirmation for a seminar,
13:30 for an amazing surprise for me,
13:32 because in April, on April 1, 2, and 3,
13:34 I'm going to Peru,
13:36 to Lima, and I'm going to give
13:38 a day of "Look and Learn"
13:40 for the Masterclass in Peru.
13:42 And I'm very excited,
13:44 so, if you still want
13:46 a place for this seminar,
13:48 write me a comment,
13:50 and I'll connect you with Chan Kamo,
13:52 and Chan Kamo is organizing
13:54 the course.
13:56 So, we're really excited, we're going to Peru
13:58 in April, April 1,
14:00 2, and 3.
14:02 It's something really,
14:04 really exciting for me, because it's the first time
14:06 that I'm going to Peru, and
14:08 I love South America,
14:10 and my education is based in Mexico,
14:12 but we're not having
14:14 a space, an academy,
14:16 it's an independent academy, that means
14:18 wherever you are, we're coming there.
14:20 And, you know,
14:22 at the moment, I have the pleasure to give seminars
14:24 in Germany, I was in Warsaw
14:26 last weekend,
14:28 and tomorrow I will go to Poczarka
14:30 Academy, which is in Poland
14:32 as well, and I'm really excited
14:34 about this course, because there will be
14:36 80 people on the Look and Learn on Saturday,
14:38 and Sunday and Monday will be
14:40 a masterclass for exclusively 80 people.
14:42 So, you know,
14:44 empty education is all about sharing,
14:46 and what this means is
14:48 you can see today, we have
14:50 two different companies, we have Simply Cutting
14:52 and Bend Grammar and Design, and we've got
14:54 Empty Education, and that's cool,
14:56 because Empty Education is not about competition,
14:58 okay? Empty Education
15:00 is really about sharing, sharing
15:02 knowledge, and not creating this sort of
15:04 atmosphere that you compete to each
15:06 other, and this is not what it's about.
15:08 And this is what I like about
15:10 our industry, that we can
15:12 share, and today, you know, in times
15:14 of Facebook, even quicker.
15:16 Are there already any questions?
15:18 No, no more questions right now.
15:22 Ask questions, men.
15:24 It's your possibility. You get a free
15:26 practice demonstration, and you get
15:28 the free opportunity to ask questions in English
15:30 and German, in Spanish as well,
15:32 but you need to wait for the answer after the
15:34 Facebook Live.
15:36 [Spanish]
15:38 [Spanish]
16:00 [Spanish]
16:02 [Spanish]
16:04 [Spanish]
16:06 [Spanish]
16:08 [Spanish]
16:10 [Spanish]
16:12 [Spanish]
16:14 [Spanish]
16:16 [Spanish]
16:18 [Spanish]
16:20 [Spanish]
16:22 I'm also in Germany and Austria giving haircut seminars. From classic cutting to salon creative courses.
16:32 The seminars I give are always very individual.
16:39 I usually have a pre-conversation with the salon owner to find out where the focus should be.
16:52 I want to share something with you.
16:56 As you can see, the hair is a bit shorter here and I want to establish a more stable line.
17:03 I'm working in this area now. I take a diagonal section and connect it with my graduation from behind.
17:18 I'm only cutting a straight line in the fingers.
17:28 I'm going to create a bit of graduation, but that's not a problem.
17:33 I'll remove and check away everything that is too much graduation.
17:53 I'm taking a parallel section and draw it on the line with a slight graduation.
18:00 But not too much.
18:03 So I only have a slight weight build-up.
18:07 So Markus, now it's your turn.
18:10 I'm going to layer the hair on the top.
18:14 I'm using a round vertical cutting line.
18:17 I'm following the hair shape vertically and horizontally.
18:22 In terms of my body position and my over-direction, I need to look at the roots.
18:27 I need to pull the hair out where the roots are.
18:31 If I can't see the roots, I would have the tendency to over-direct the hair.
18:36 This is also the reason why I'm standing on this side.
18:39 Because I really want to see my roots and I don't want to have the tendency to over-direct the hair.
18:44 I was using the hair from the crown area as my guide.
18:52 I followed the hair shape all the way through.
18:55 What I did here in the front, I disconnected a half-moon section slightly rounded to keep the front longer.
19:05 And disconnected to the rest of the hair.
19:08 Because I still like the softness in the front.
19:12 But I want to have more texture on the top.
19:16 I'm cutting layers that follow the shape of the head.
19:25 Vertically and horizontally.
19:28 And it's very important to look at my body position.
19:31 Because my body is here and I want to see where the roots are.
19:39 If I can see the roots, it's easier to control my over-direction.
19:47 So, I'm cutting a half-moon section slightly rounded to keep the front longer.
20:01 This is very important.
20:03 And it's also very important to have very clean sections.
20:10 I'm only cutting sections 3 and 4.
20:15 And 3 goes to 4.
20:18 So, I don't have over-direction.
20:20 And I'm only cutting those two sections in my guide and in the part that I want to cut.
20:26 I'm just working on the part that I want to cut and on my guide.
20:34 And I just have these two sections in my hand.
20:38 Why? Because if I had section 2 in my hand, I had the tendency to over-direct more to section 2.
20:45 But I don't want any over-direction. I just want section 3 to go to 4.
20:51 So, I'm looking at the roots and I'm checking that the hair does not come out there.
20:56 It comes out there.
20:58 And by doing this, I can secure that I will not have any over-direction.
21:02 Always looking at the roots to control your over-direction.
21:05 Looking at your cutting angle to see if you're creating a square shape, round shape, triangular shape.
21:17 Ben, what are you doing?
21:19 I'm just working on my fringe part here.
21:23 I just took curved sections from here around.
21:30 And I'm just lifting the hair out.
21:33 I just elevate the hair slightly to have a little bit of graduation.
21:38 I don't want to have really much graduation as well.
21:42 I want to keep the whole fringe area more heavy.
21:46 But I work in a length where the hair still has some softness.
21:52 I quite like this length here.
21:55 And I just cut a slightly rounded line through here.
22:00 And I'm checking in the mirror now.
22:04 But I quite like this length here.
22:07 And I like especially the idea of some softness in here.
22:11 This hair here goes back and this hair here comes to the front.
22:17 So what I'm going to do next is I'm going to blow-dry the hair.
22:21 And then I'm going to work on my outline here on the nape.
22:26 I'm going to share that later with you.
22:28 And I'm going to refine this outline here as well.
22:35 But first of all, I want to have a really nice blow-dry.
22:39 And then I'm going to work on these parts here in between as well.
22:44 To bring it into a really nice finished look.
22:50 So sorry guys, I need to blow-dry some hair.
22:53 Do you want to give us some blow-dry tips?
22:56 What's your concept of blow-drying?
22:59 My concept of blow-drying?
23:02 What I'm going to do here is I'm going to use a wrap-dry technique.
23:06 So what I sometimes say on my seminars and courses when I do a wrap-dry,
23:14 I start to blow-dry and I imagine that I only want to dry the roots of the hair.
23:24 So that has a couple of benefits.
23:27 When I imagine that I only want to dry the roots,
23:32 then I get a lot of shine into the hair.
23:34 I move the hair in different directions, I get a lot of shine into the hair.
23:37 The roots are straight and I get a very natural lift.
23:43 So it doesn't look too flat.
23:45 And that's how I basically do the blow-dry.
23:50 And I like to use only the slow speed of the hair dryer.
23:59 And as you can see, I imagine I'm only drying the roots.
24:07 And I don't know if you can see that through the camera,
24:13 but you can already see that you get an amazing shine into the hair.
24:21 And that's how I carry on blow-drying basically all over the head right now.
24:31 Do you have any more blow-drying tips, Markus?
24:35 Yeah, I think it's really to understand the hair and where it wants to go.
24:41 So if the hair is kicking a lot in one direction, maybe to the inside,
24:46 you should be pushing the hair the other way so that at the end it sits straight.
24:51 Why it has to sit straight is you really want to check the haircut afterwards.
24:56 And if you still have a lot of kicks in the hair, it's really hard to check the line, for example.
25:02 And yeah, I think that's something really important for me.
25:05 And I agree with you, I'm also using medium heat, medium power.
25:10 I'm putting the heat up when I'm coming to the ends.
25:15 But you know, something really important is by using the brush,
25:19 a lot of hairdressers are really quick, okay?
25:26 So they lift the roots but they're forgetting to really wait for the ends
25:31 to leave the brush when the hair dryer is still on.
25:34 So it's really important to dry the hair, to wait for the ends,
25:41 not just like this, but really wait for the ends to leave the brush.
25:51 We have some questions.
25:53 Do we have some questions? No questions?
25:56 No questions.
25:58 A lot of thumbs up for your work, guys.
26:03 That's nice.
26:05 A lot of thumbs up.
26:07 Yeah?
26:08 It's amazing. How many people are watching?
26:10 I think more than 20 in the peak, but currently 15.
26:18 15?
26:19 Yeah.
26:20 So people, if you like what you see, there's a little share button
26:25 on the left or right-hand side of your screen.
26:27 Just push share and then we can get the knowledge out much quicker to other people.
26:33 If you like what you see, just share and we can grow the industry faster.
26:40 Nelly says, "Great work, guys."
26:46 Thank you so much, Nelly.
26:48 Nelly from Mexico? I think so. 15.
26:55 So now I'm standing on the other side, again to see my roots
27:00 and to really see, to control my over-direction.
27:10 For the people who don't know MTA Education,
27:12 MTA Education is international for the people who just tuned in.
27:16 We're going to any place in the world, wherever you want to seminar with us.
27:20 And why MTA Education?
27:24 There are loads of education companies out there,
27:27 but what makes us very special is that we're starting the seminars
27:31 in a very, very different way.
27:33 So the people in Poland, they already realize,
27:35 they have the pleasure to see how we start.
27:38 Because every seminar starts with one-hour motivation.
27:42 So you will listen to motivational stories,
27:44 you will do some breathing exercise,
27:46 you will do a little meditation to really open your mind
27:50 and to be open for cutting hair,
27:53 and then all the rest is really, really easy.
27:57 MTA Education, why MTA Education?
27:59 MTA Education is very different.
28:02 There are many companies out there that work in independent education.
28:09 But with MTA Education, the seminars always come with one-hour motivation.
28:15 So it's very interesting, I think, because people open their minds.
28:22 We always start with a meditation, with one-hour motivation,
28:28 and with motivational stories to open your mind,
28:32 and then cutting hair is much easier.
28:37 So you can really see I like this sort of layered look.
28:44 If you can look in the mirror, maybe that would be amazing.
28:48 You can see this nice little geometric shape here,
28:51 and when you look in the mirror, you can see how it opens the face,
28:54 how this part which is shorter gives you attention to this longer part there,
28:59 and creating the texture on the top
29:02 by leaving the longer length in the front.
29:06 And then you can really play around with the hair.
29:08 You can leave it flat. You can sort of style it in a different way.
29:13 And I find this really, really interesting.
29:15 When I saw her when she came in, it was the first thing that came into my mind.
29:19 And I always listen to my intuition, and this is, I think, a good thing to do.
29:25 So now I'm checking my sections on the top.
29:28 I'm using horizontal sections.
29:31 And now there should just be dust to cut.
29:35 It should just be a sort of cleaning shape.
29:38 And cross-checking means you're checking the hair the other way around.
29:42 I cut it with vertical sections.
29:44 I'm checking on my horizontal shape.
29:47 So in my horizontal shape, I can see if I use the right amount of over-direction continuously.
29:53 Now I'm doing a cross-check.
29:57 And in the cross-check, I'm using horizontal sections.
30:01 My original sections were vertical.
30:07 So the cross-check is always horizontal to see if you used the right amount of over-direction
30:13 and to clean the cut.
30:16 And as you can see, just a little bit of movement.
30:22 [SPEAKING GERMAN]
30:28 And I'm already starting to sort of flavor the hair so that I can see how the shape is going to work.
30:35 Bernd, how's it going?
30:37 I'm nearly there. I'm not finished.
30:40 I'm nearly there with the blow-dry.
30:43 So I want to give the hair a slightly little bit of flat ironing.
30:51 I just go and grab the iron.
30:54 And just for the fringe part, then I'm going to work onto my outline.
31:03 But I think it really works nice on her.
31:08 So when I iron the hair, I give you a tip for ironing.
31:14 It is quite important that when you iron the hair, when you use the finer side of the comb,
31:22 you have a bit more tension.
31:25 And important as well is that you leave the hair to cool out
31:33 so it really stays in the position where you want the hair to be, basically.
31:41 We don't really want to over-iron the hair.
31:45 So I want to have still a nice structure, but just a little bit flatter.
31:54 So you can see the difference.
31:57 This part here is flat-ironed already, and this side here not.
32:03 So what I'm going to do is just do the same on the other side here.
32:08 [Music]
32:15 When you came to the idea to create Simply Cutting, what inspired you?
32:20 What was the main message, the main idea that you had when you said,
32:25 "Okay, now I'm going to do Simply Cutting"?
32:27 All right. That's kind of a funny story.
32:31 I might tell it in German because I think Simply Cutting is a bit more interesting
32:36 for the German market.
32:39 So how did I get the idea for Simply Cutting?
32:43 It's actually very simple.
32:46 I play the piano.
32:49 And I have...
32:51 I didn't know.
32:52 Hm?
32:53 I didn't know.
32:54 You didn't know?
32:55 No.
32:56 Amazing.
32:57 And I found this course called... what was it called again?
33:02 It's called "Werde Musiker".
33:05 So this guy created an online course for piano lessons.
33:10 And I really loved it.
33:12 And I still do.
33:13 I still like it.
33:14 I practice every day.
33:17 [German]
33:21 The German people understand English.
33:23 [German]
33:26 [German]
33:51 [German]
34:03 Wow, sounds amazing.
34:05 Sounds amazing.
34:07 [Music]
34:13 You know, what I like about this sort of look about her is that she's sort of an edgy person.
34:19 She said to me, "I can do whatever I want to do.
34:22 And you don't have to tell me three times, because I'm in Berlin, I'm using what I have,
34:29 and really make me something interesting."
34:31 So now there's always the discussion, what looks good, what doesn't look good.
34:35 And what I believe is, what looks good, obviously it depends on suitability,
34:40 it depends on face shape, the bone structure, the structure of the hair, density of the hair.
34:46 But something that looks good does not always have to look good for everyone at the first sight.
34:55 Because I think, if you want to change something, if you want to change the way people look, for example,
35:01 you have to create something new.
35:03 Because if you're always doing the same thing, yeah, it's what we are used to and what we find beautiful,
35:10 but at the end, creating something new, sometimes it can look weird at the beginning for some people,
35:16 because our eyes are not used to it.
35:19 But once you do things like this a lot, and you're working creative a lot,
35:22 your eyes are getting used to new shapes, to new combinations of techniques and shapes.
35:28 And this is what I find cool about this.
35:30 And I think, you know, if you have an edgy person like her, I mean, from Berlin, with roots from Poland,
35:36 most people are a bit crazy anyway, in a positive way, along with my friends from Poland.
35:41 And I think you should use that, and you should not just wait and, you know, just really go for it.
35:48 You can see what I did now. I curved the fringe here on this side.
35:51 I really want to give it a lot of attention, this part in the front.
35:55 I will make it a bit stronger now.
35:59 So, for me, it's very important. I was learning a lot in English.
36:04 Let's see if I can translate something into Spanish.
36:08 What I was saying is that if you want to do something different,
36:17 for a lot of people, sometimes, the first time, it looks weird, like, "What is that?"
36:25 But it's normal, because if you want to change the way people see you,
36:30 you need to create new things, new shapes, new architecture, or something.
36:37 And it takes a lot of time for a lot of people to get used to it.
36:45 - Se adjustan. - Se ajustan, exactamente.
36:49 Martina is speaking in Spanish, English, Polish, French, a bit of Japanese.
36:58 So, guys, what I would like to share with you now is how I'm going to work on my nape outline here.
37:11 You can see she's got a beautiful neck, a beautiful hairline.
37:19 And I want to use the natural pattern of this hairline here.
37:25 You can see it just slightly curves.
37:28 And what I like to do is, I just tilt the head slightly to the side.
37:33 And now, if you maybe can focus on here, you can see this point here.
37:40 This is the longest point. And here is the shortest.
37:43 So this doesn't really belong to the hair.
37:46 So I'm going to show you how I want to work on my outline now.
37:51 I hold the scissors. The scissors just extends my hand.
37:59 And I use my other hand just to hold the scissors.
38:06 To support my cutting hand.
38:15 And I really work only with the tip of the scissors.
38:20 More or less like a painter. I really paint the outline into my look here.
38:35 I'm using like a chipping, like a pointing technique.
38:40 And I'm working with the mirror as well.
38:48 This hair is going to be removed now.
39:03 I'm going to put this away with a clipper in a minute.
39:08 I just work on my second side here.
39:11 By the way, Diego Vega says "Saludos Marcos".
39:28 Saludos Diego, Benito, las Cierra de Mexico.
39:33 ¿Cómo estás, amigo?
39:35 To all of you who are watching Bernkramer Hair Design or Simply Cutting through the channels,
39:45 we can't read the comments right now, but I hope you are there as well.
39:50 And I'm going to answer questions in a minute.
39:53 I'm happy if you share this video. I'm happy about likes and hearts.
39:59 Give him some hearts.
40:01 Give us some hearts.
40:03 Guys, something else about sharing.
40:06 So put this little share button, which is in the left or right hand side of the screen,
40:10 and share if you like what you see.
40:13 So you can see the shape of the nape basically.
40:18 It's a really nice, natural hair growth.
40:27 Just strengthen this outline a little bit.
40:32 Just refine this part here.
40:35 And I think you can really nicely see what I meant in the beginning.
40:42 So here is a lot of structure on top there.
40:45 And then in the fringe part we have something longer and a little bit more volume.
40:53 And in the fringe part we have something longer and something softer.
40:59 So it really falls nicely and softly one into each other.
41:05 I really like the softness of this part here.
41:14 And I only want to slice a little bit through.
41:23 [Slicing sounds]
41:32 But I quite like it as it is.
41:35 I didn't really cut much in here, but it's amazing.
41:40 Would you ever use thinning scissors or is there any reason that you don't use it?
41:49 I don't use thinning scissors.
41:52 When I want to structure the hair like I do on top now, I use a pointing technique.
41:58 But I think with these thinning scissors you can't, or you can basically,
42:07 but it's not my approach to an accurate foundation technique basically.
42:14 So I think the accurate foundation is the key to a successful haircut.
42:20 Either you can afterwards, of course you can point or slice, you can personalize the haircut,
42:27 but I think the foundation, the basic that is underneath that, needs to be like a solid and strong technique.
42:34 How do you see that, Markus?
42:36 Yeah, I see it similar. I'm also not using any thinning scissors. I'm using just straight scissors.
42:41 I think some tips when it comes to pointing, and you don't want to create a lot of texture,
42:48 you just want to sort of break into the ends.
42:51 So you pull the section up, using the fine side of the comb to have more tension, to work on clean sections.
42:59 And something really important is that the hair that you're not cutting, it is still combed nice and clean.
43:04 Because if not, you know, the hair starts to get messy again.
43:09 So I'm pulling the section up, horizontal section, and if I don't want more texture, if I just want to break the ends,
43:16 I'm pretty much going from left to right, right to left.
43:20 So I'm not doing this sort of movement, because I want a very, very...
43:27 I'm mixing my three languages again.
43:30 I'm using a technique which is vertically, and you can see it's very continuous.
43:38 So you can see I'm still maintaining my guide, but I'm breaking into the ends.
43:47 Yeah, left, right, right, left, like this.
43:51 If I go diagonally into the section, I would create more texture and different length within the hair.
43:57 And if you look in the mirror, you can see how really soft and nice the texture starts to move.
44:02 I'm still having this sort of heavier bit in the front, which I really like.
44:06 And you can see I worked on two levels in the front.
44:08 I worked on a curved outline, which sits higher, which opens sort of the eye socket and makes it look longer.
44:14 But then to balance the whole thing, I kept this curvature here a little bit lower,
44:20 and I kept this part completely disconnected in the center.
44:24 So she can play around with this.
44:26 She can sort of, you can see, she can work more texture.
44:29 She can work like really sort of geometric in the front.
44:32 And the same with this part.
44:34 As her face shape is rounded and a little bit on the longer side, I really like to have this bit here,
44:40 because if they weren't there, it might look a little bit sort of too long.
44:45 So this is why I really like this idea.
44:47 And you know, suitability is always about thinking about why are you doing things, how are you doing it,
44:52 and not just creating a shape without thinking about it.
44:56 I will use the straightening iron as well a little bit.
45:02 And I will cut this.
45:04 Just in this part here in the front.
45:09 Switch it on.
45:14 You had such a nice change, Brent.
45:19 You did cut a lot, right?
45:20 Sorry?
45:21 You did cut a lot. What was the length before?
45:23 It was before, it was like a grown out, shorter bob, bish, air cutting thing.
45:33 So, yeah. I found her like last week or the week before.
45:39 I went on the train station at ZOO.
45:49 Talking about ZOO, it's really interesting because Bert and me, we used to work in Vidal Sassoon for many years.
45:55 Both of us, we worked at the Sassoon salon in Berlin.
45:58 We both worked as educators at Vidal Sassoon Academy in London.
46:02 And this is why we share the same sort of idea of cutting hair.
46:07 We both know each other from Sassoon.
46:09 We are working at Sassoon in Berlin and in London as educators at Vidal Sassoon Academy.
46:14 And this is why we have a very similar way of cutting hair.
46:18 And we share the same way of cutting hair.
46:23 Ready?
46:24 Ready. Ready to go.
46:26 So, I am going to take the gown of my lovely model.
46:32 Then I'm going to let her stand up and I'm going to do a little recap on the technique that I've done so far.
46:37 Amazing.
46:38 Alright, stand up please.
46:57 Just come around here.
47:04 Turn to the camera.
47:05 So, alright.
47:07 Let me just remember what I've done.
47:11 I round graduated.
47:14 I started, before we started the video, I already round graduated this side here in the back.
47:20 Then I took my diamond section here on top.
47:25 That is the area that is layered quite short right now.
47:28 Here you can see like a lot of structure.
47:31 Then I went on to this side here.
47:36 I left out the front bit in here.
47:41 And I started my graduation through the side into the back as well.
47:47 Then I was cutting the fringe part here.
47:52 So, I really left it a little bit longer.
47:55 And it really matches nicely with this little corner in here.
48:00 And on this side I went from graduation into a nice clean line.
48:12 I just carved this part here a little bit out.
48:16 So, I've got a nice structured look.
48:19 On top there is a lot of structure there.
48:25 But still some softness through her beautiful face.
48:30 I hope you like this haircut guys.
48:34 And a lot of hearts if you like it.
48:36 A lot of hearts.
48:38 If you liked it, share it.
48:41 I like clicking.
48:43 And go to simplycutting.com.
48:47 There you can learn the exact basis on which all these haircuts,
48:53 everything that Markus and I have done here,
48:56 everything is based on the haircuts that you can learn at simplycutting.com.
49:02 Amazing, right?
49:04 So, what I did on my model Martina,
49:10 I actually started in the back.
49:13 I started with a flat sort of layering technique.
49:16 Coming into graduation, I used a round shape horizontally.
49:21 Then I left out two triangles here that I did not connect.
49:25 I just sort of blended it into the shape.
49:28 I was working with a round graduation in this area,
49:31 which is not connected to this,
49:33 and not connected to this little triangle in the front.
49:36 If you look in the mirror, I did this on both sides.
49:39 And what I then did in the front,
49:41 I left out a little curved half moon section,
49:44 layered this through around this way,
49:47 and I sort of just made this stronger in the front.
49:51 And she can really play around with this really structured, creative,
49:54 hipster, Berlin look.
49:56 What I was doing was, I was cutting some layers in the back,
50:01 flat layers, and in this part a round graduation,
50:06 round layers, that part, like the triangle, is not connected,
50:10 and here is a round graduation in this part,
50:13 neither connected here, nor here.
50:16 And if you look in the mirror,
50:19 here I have a disconnection, like a half circle,
50:24 some round layers, round, not overlaid,
50:28 and here I was making a straight line,
50:31 and she can play around with the look.
50:37 So, thank you very much.
50:40 If you liked it,
50:43 share it on Facebook and Instagram, wherever you want.
50:47 And thank you very much for your attention to MG Education and Simply Cutting.
50:52 Thank you so much, my friends, from MG Education,
50:57 Bern from Simply Cutting.
50:59 We had an amazing night. I really enjoyed working with Bern in the demonstration.
51:03 These are our two finished models, finished looks.
51:06 And, yeah, I got to go, right?
51:10 These are our two models, Bern's model and my model,
51:14 and, you know, I really like these two different ideas,
51:18 but at the same time they have a little bit in common,
51:21 because using graduation and layering to create shape.
51:25 Muchísimas gracias, MG Education and Simply Cutting.
51:29 Nos vemos pronto, bye bye.
51:31 Danke, tschüss. Ciao.
