00:00 Hi everyone, I'm Courtney Bright, I'm the Social and Digital Media Editor at American
00:05 Salon.
00:06 We are live in New York right now with one of our favorites, Sally Rogerson.
00:10 Hi everyone, good morning.
00:11 Thank you for joining us.
00:12 Thank you, Courtney, for asking me.
00:13 I'm really excited.
00:14 This is our second Facebook Live with Sally at the Davines Salon in New York.
00:18 It's absolutely gorgeous.
00:19 I wish you guys could see more.
00:20 But Sally, what are we doing today?
00:21 Well, Courtney, I think that today I want you to do a formal graduation and a little
00:29 cute kind of shorter lens.
00:31 I think that heavier graduation is really kind of coming through now.
00:34 We're seeing it a lot on a lot of the young celebrities and supermodels and stuff.
00:38 So I wanted to share that with everyone.
00:40 Perfect.
00:41 Well, you get started.
00:42 Good.
00:43 Thank you, Courtney.
00:44 Okay, everyone.
00:45 So good morning.
00:46 Thank you all so much for joining us this morning.
00:49 We're actually at Davines headquarters and it's a beautiful day.
00:54 We're up in the penthouse.
00:55 So we've got a lot of amazing light and a beautiful view of New York.
01:00 I wanted to share this morning with you a heavier graduation and something that's a
01:06 little bit shorter on the side lens.
01:09 So this is Sarah, my model.
01:12 She has beautiful textured hair.
01:14 It's a little bit wavy and I personally love that slightly more lived in look at the moment.
01:21 And I like it when the hair dries with some texture in it.
01:25 Of course, you can still go with the blow dry and the iron, but I think a lot of people
01:30 right now responding to, you know, the kind of 90s grunge vibe that we have in fashion.
01:37 We're seeing a lot of hair that's a bit more dirty looking and we're seeing hair that's
01:42 a little bit more lived in.
01:43 The ends are a little bit more kind of piecey.
01:46 So I wanted to actually avoid cutting a hard line into her hair.
01:53 And so I'm going to do a heavy graduation starting in the side.
01:59 So I'm going to put the length in first.
02:01 And the way I'm going to approach this is simply by taking a horizontal section, bringing
02:08 the hair down, and I'm going to start cutting this through my fingers on purpose.
02:14 You could also, of course, cut through the cone.
02:17 If you cut through the cone, it's going to be crisper and sharper.
02:21 You could also, of course, press it on the skin, but I prefer not to in this ear area
02:27 and also in the neck area because, you know, it doesn't sit very well.
02:33 It's not a very flat surface.
02:35 So I'm going to start with a line technique pretty much through my fingers.
02:41 I have also sectioned off behind the ear more towards the mastoid process.
02:47 So kind of behind that gap that exists behind the ear area.
02:53 So simply bringing this hair down.
02:56 And the key thing here is to be really, really, really gentle on the tension.
03:02 So you can see I'm going to use the large tooth of my comb, bring the hair down, super
03:08 gentle and then also just really, really tap with your scissors and make it very, very
03:16 loose.
03:17 I'm lucky because Sarah has, you know, amazing ears, so it's not something I have to actually
03:23 worry about.
03:25 And also what I'm into at the moment is slightly rounded shapes.
03:30 So that's definitely something that I think is really happening right now.
03:34 If you've been looking at Fashion Week, you've seen a lot of bowly round shapes.
03:40 So I think for Sarah, I might round up a little bit.
03:45 And so I'm going to come through very gently, very loose tension, as I said, and pick a
03:50 length.
03:52 I'm going to point more towards the lip area because I feel like that is very, very flattering.
03:58 And I can't tell you enough how loose my tension is through there.
04:04 I don't get any satisfaction from cutting it at all because I can't pull it tight.
04:10 I can't make it clean.
04:12 I'm actually loosening the whole thing up.
04:15 And if there's any kind of loose stray hairs, so really, really tapping it very, very loose
04:21 on the outline.
04:23 I'm then going to go all the way up to the top area.
04:30 She does have some previous layers in that hair, so they'll come into play a little bit.
04:37 So I'm going to bring everything down to pretty much a one length through my fingers.
04:41 I'll have an edge of graduation, and it will round up slightly.
04:45 So I think that's going to be a cool look for her.
04:48 I'll just turn her a little bit.
04:51 And so very simple technique right now.
04:53 I feel like hair cutting is very much quite classic techniques.
05:01 And I think that partnered up with color and how it's kind of coming through with color
05:06 at the moment, I think simple haircuts are definitely best at the moment.
05:14 So you can see the hair is running out a little bit at the moment because of those previous
05:21 layers I'm running out of hair.
05:25 Super loose on my tension again.
05:30 Because it's wavy, even though I'm cutting in more of a clean line, you will still see
05:36 a softness to it because I'll get a touch of graduation on the ends.
05:42 So bring that down, there's pretty much nothing left to cut through there.
05:50 I'm putting the side length in now because I really enjoy cutting that side in first
05:56 and then bringing the graduation through into the back.
05:59 I can use that side length as a guide to take me through.
06:04 And also I think that a lot of clients like to see what length is it going to be at the
06:10 front.
06:11 That's a lot of their main concern.
06:13 So sometimes cutting something like a graduated bob and starting in the front is really quite
06:19 a good idea.
06:20 It takes a little bit more technical skill of course, but sometimes clients enjoy it
06:26 because you're fiddling around in the back for an hour and they're all about, well, what's
06:30 going to happen here?
06:31 So sometimes it's good to get that in first.
06:35 I'm going to use that as a springboard to now go into this back area and you will find
06:45 I'm going to be using diagonal kind of curved sections.
06:51 They are going to be more on the horizontal plane because I want to have a heavier build
06:57 up of weight and you will also find that I'm going to build the weight quite heavy because
07:04 I'm just going to get over to this side so you guys can see a bit better.
07:13 So you will find that because I am going to hold it with some tension in my fingers and
07:21 also because the hair is wavy, it will have an extra kind of spring to it.
07:30 So I don't need to lift my graduation quite as high because I know it will have an extra
07:37 added elevation when it dries itself.
07:41 So I don't need to go quite as tight.
07:44 So this is my first section on the graduation.
07:48 Graduation is a build up of weight.
07:52 So that build up of weight is going to support and push that hair out.
07:59 Graduation I find is very much dictated by head shape, occipital bone, density of the
08:08 hair, texture of the hair but also I find that graduation is very much dictated by fashion
08:18 and graduation that you would put on a cool modern client right now is maybe not the type
08:29 of graduation that you will be doing on them in 5 years time.
08:33 For example, heavier, lower, wedgy shapes and also kind of bowly shapes are really coming
08:41 through at the moment but in about 5 years time we might think that that's completely
08:46 old fashioned and we'll never do them again and we'll be doing high, tight graduations.
08:52 So graduation you will find is often dictated by fashion.
09:00 I can remember as well if we're talking about fashion, the haircut that has really taken
09:07 over the salon and is very, very commercial and is our money maker at the moment is the
09:15 layered bob.
09:16 It can be very, very clean on the outlines or it can be all loose and piecey on the outlines
09:23 going with all of this kind of bolliage and all of this kind of freer color and the layered
09:30 bob probably 6 years ago was something that you only ever did on your super classic clients
09:38 that were maybe pretty conservative.
09:41 So it's interesting that you take a really classic haircut like that and what it's become
09:45 and how fashionable it is now and it's the same with graduation as well.
09:49 You'll take something that maybe a few years ago was kind of something you put on your
09:56 kind of more classic ladies and now you're putting it on your cool girls that have got
10:01 a bleaching tone and have that lovely beautiful pink and lilac kind of color in their hair
10:08 and it takes on a whole new meaning.
10:13 Okay so I'm just coming around with my graduation and you can see now that I'm getting a little
10:18 bit of a build up of weight.
10:20 You can start to see some weight forming through there which I really, really like.
10:26 Obviously the more you lift, the more you elevate, the lighter it's going to be up here
10:32 so that's your decision.
10:34 Once you work with graduation and you truly kind of understand it, you will find you can
10:40 do anything with it.
10:42 I have to really think about where do I want it to fall.
10:46 The more I bring it down, the heavier it's going to be.
10:49 And you can see on my model Sarah, I'm actually doing it pretty heavy and low because I like
10:55 that kind of cool low bowly feeling.
11:00 My elevation, I'm taking my guide from my sides that I already cut and I'm bringing
11:08 that hair around with my body position because we're filming, I am kind of moving the chair
11:15 around a little bit.
11:17 But if I was in the salon, I would be doing the SR education shuffle, okay?
11:24 That's what we call it when we're doing round graduation.
11:27 You have to move around the head because you're trying to get a round shape in that back area.
11:37 If I just stay here, I will start to pull the hair naturally towards me.
11:43 That will end up getting too long and low in that back area.
11:48 So you should be walking around the head and you should be trying to bring that hair to
11:52 the middle of your body as you're walking around.
11:56 As I said, because we're filming, I'm kind of turning the chair a little bit so that
12:02 you guys can see.
12:04 But always think of a round shape as a bit more of a dance.
12:09 You know, you're kind of dancing around the head, which is important because if you're
12:16 trying to cut any kind of more rounded shape, then you have to cut smaller increments of
12:23 hair to get that bevel and to get that curve.
12:29 So all the way around.
12:31 Again, I'm just kind of letting the hair dry a little bit.
12:34 I'm working the hair.
12:35 I'm going to start getting my hands in there.
12:39 I have prepped the hair already with some Day Day, which is a leave-in conditioner.
12:46 I tend to put a little bit of hair mist in with the Day Day just for condition-wise.
12:55 And then I'll also be using the Sea Salt Spray as well.
12:59 So the Sea Salt Spray is my kind of go-to really when I'm doing wavy hair and I want
13:05 to keep that lived-in look and I want it to dry textured.
13:16 I'm sometimes possibly capable of using too much Sea Salt Spray.
13:23 If any of you have ever done that, you know what I'm saying.
13:25 I really like it when it gets a bit dusty and very dry and it goes a bit more editorial.
13:33 I think for your clients, you have to kind of know where to stop with your salon application.
13:40 Okay, so I'm coming through now.
13:44 I am lifting a little bit higher, but I'm still using my guide off of the base and the
13:52 hair that I've cut down here.
13:55 So you can see how my weight line is developing through here.
13:58 I'll do my outline afterwards.
14:01 I'm not a big fan of putting an outline in and then breaking it up afterwards.
14:07 I feel like that's kind of not very efficient.
14:12 If a client comes in and she wants to have something at the end that has a strong clean
14:18 line to it, then I'll put an outline in.
14:21 If I have a client that comes in and the end result that she's asking for is for it to
14:27 be soft and piecey and loose, I'll always cut the haircut from the inside and then do
14:33 the outline afterwards.
14:35 That way I don't have to try and break up an existing line.
14:39 Because for those of you in the salon that do that or have experienced that, you know
14:45 it's really hard work to kind of go in and try and cut through that line.
14:50 It takes a lot of extra time and also you have to really go in and break up that line.
14:58 It seems pointless to do things twice in my opinion.
15:04 So that is my first side.
15:07 I've just got a nice kind of little bit of a bowly rounded shape.
15:12 I'm going to be coming through and doing the outline secondary.
15:15 As I said she does have existing layers in the top so you didn't see a lot coming down
15:21 from there.
15:23 She already has naturally a little bit of a cute fringe so I'll be working into that
15:29 as well and maybe kind of just loosening it up.
15:33 Now over to the other side.
15:36 I'm going to work in again my side first of all.
15:40 Now you have to think about your balance.
15:43 So always kind of going in and checking and feeling your balance.
15:48 You can if you want to look at features of the face but sometimes that's a little bit
15:53 tricky in the salon.
15:55 You'll find that clients aren't always lined up on their ears.
16:00 Sometimes they can be a little bit off.
16:02 So I kind of try and just kind of feel it and sometimes I have to look away or close
16:08 my eyes a little bit and so I feel it truly because when we're looking at it we can sometimes
16:14 just make it look however we want it to.
16:17 So coming through just trying to put in my first section and getting my balance in there.
16:31 So coming through and putting in my balance first of all I'll probably damp it down again
16:39 with some Day Day hair mist and this just gives it a little bit of condition.
16:45 I like to wet hair down with a bit of product.
16:50 It's definitely something that I enjoy using when I'm cutting hair.
16:55 I like to put product in there.
16:57 It doesn't have to be anything too heavy you know.
17:00 Now remember what I'm going to do.
17:02 I'm going to loosen my tension again.
17:04 I'm going to feel my other side for my guide and I'm going to come through and first of
17:14 all feel the back of the ear and then come through and feel the front area.
17:19 I always put a slightly longer one in first and then go back and feel it.
17:26 Also you have to remember if one side is kind of wet and one side is dry be aware of that
17:32 as well.
17:33 So I'm just going to put in a slightly longer length.
17:39 Let it kind of come out and dry a little bit then come back through and kind of feel it.
17:45 Obviously I don't have a mirror so I'm just going to go in front for a second and have
17:49 a little look and then start to bring that hair out so you can visually see it too.
17:56 Okay off we go.
17:58 We're going to get started now on this side Sarah.
18:01 How are you doing?
18:02 I'm good.
18:03 Thank you for coming in.
18:05 What a great model.
18:07 I always get very lucky when I'm in New York with these models.
18:11 So I'm going to continue that through.
18:15 First of all I'm going to put that outline in.
18:20 Just coming through like I did on the first side, very gentle, super loose tension, really
18:28 really thinking about what I'm doing with that tension through there and really kind
18:33 of loosening up.
18:40 So for those of you that I don't know, as I said my name is Sally Rogerson.
18:45 I do have a hair education company called SR Education and we travel across the US doing
18:54 classes.
18:57 So we're usually around in a city near you and we have some really fabulous classes.
19:06 The 3 Day Women's Comprehensive is my go-to cutting class and I also have an online virtual
19:14 classroom so if you go to sallyrogerson.com you will find all of this stuff on there.
19:22 I do live demonstrations like this every week and I also have my foundation 10 haircuts
19:31 on there that you can use on long, medium and short hair.
19:37 So check it out if you're interested in what we're doing here.
19:42 sallyrogerson.com
19:44 Ok now moving through into the graduation in the back.
19:50 So coming through again with that horizontal diagonal section.
19:54 I like to sometimes put a little bit of a curve into it as well because when you use
20:01 more of a curved section you will feel that it gives it that kind of more curved head
20:07 hugging feeling which I think is really really nice.
20:11 My guide is going to be from my length through the side and because I'm right handed I'm
20:18 just going to turn her around Courtney so I can try and show this because this is really
20:22 really important.
20:23 Is that good for you?
20:25 This is very important with body position.
20:27 I'm right handed so I have a tendency and so do all right handers to open up their body
20:35 so you can see if I open up my shoulder like this which is what a lot of right handed people
20:41 do on this side I'm going to start to tip my fingers out and I'm not going to get that
20:49 graduation and push around the head like I'm supposed to.
20:53 So what I have to be aware of on this side is I have to really push this right shoulder
20:59 around the corner and by doing that I will get my fingertip to start to push in through
21:09 there which will become supportive underneath there.
21:12 So that's a really big thing for the right handers.
21:15 If you are left handed then that's going to be on this side for you and you need to be
21:20 very aware of your left shoulder and you need to start to not open up through there.
21:26 You need to start to push your shoulder around and in.
21:32 I think if you are left handed you do sometimes get a little bit of a raw deal in classes
21:37 right but I believe very strongly in teaching people in their correct left handed body position
21:46 so if you do come to any of my classes we go through it all for left handers as well
21:51 and all of my teaching staff and myself we can all cut left handed.
21:59 It's not very pretty but we can do it and we can also show you your body position and
22:06 I think that's really really important because left handers get a little bit stiff don't
22:11 they?
22:13 We have a really big show coming up, the SR Education Hair Happening and that's going
22:20 to be in Vegas in February and I'm actually going to have an hours class over there and
22:28 it's going to go through for left handed people, anyone that's there that's left handed.
22:33 It's going to be an hours class on body position, hand and body position for the left hander.
22:40 How to stand when you're doing graduation, how to stand when you're doing layering, how
22:44 to stand when you're doing a line.
22:47 So we're going to have a little quick left handers boot camp because we get that a lot
22:52 in our classes but no one ever really addresses that.
23:00 Any left handers out there, come through to Vegas and we will look after you.
23:06 Now because I'm right handed and this is my slightly more challenging side and I'm doing
23:12 this round shape in the back, I prefer now to start actually cutting from the bottom
23:20 and then to walk around backwards to the top.
23:25 The reason for that is that I get a smooth curve through there as opposed to if I start
23:33 cutting here, I'm cutting into the hair and that's how you get corners sometimes.
23:41 So what I'm doing here is actually starting at the bottom and I'm smoothly moving around
23:49 and through into my connection in the sides.
23:55 So then I'll get to my side area and this is where my guide is through the side.
24:04 Always working with the hair, making it lay down.
24:07 Remember all I'm really concerned with is where this weight line is sitting.
24:11 I don't care about that area at all.
24:14 That's going to be done afterwards.
24:17 I've been working putting in a little bit of the sea salt spray as I go along because
24:22 when I start to put my hands in it and dry it a little bit as I go, you will see this
24:29 really super cool texture come out.
24:31 I don't know, I think that there's an ease to fashion at the moment.
24:38 There's an ease to the way that people are wearing their hair at the moment and I think
24:43 it's kind of a bit more of a "I just woke up like this" kind of feeling.
24:48 It's very interesting because the products that we're using now are definitely being
24:53 a little bit more attuned to trying to make the hair look almost a little bit dirty like
24:59 the 90s all over again.
25:02 Product wise, your product choice in the salon you might find has changed a little bit.
25:08 I mean not on your super super super classic ladies that come in for a super blow dry every
25:14 week or something, but your clients that are a little bit more influenced by fashion.
25:22 Let's put it that way.
25:24 I know I'm not reaching for the flat iron as much, I'm just kind of letting the hair
25:31 be a bit more.
25:34 I think just like natural makeup, the natural look on makeup, we all know that some people
25:45 can have a natural makeup look but there's actually a lot of makeup on their face.
25:51 It's a bit like that with hair as well.
25:54 To kind of make hair look like it's a bit undone and natural, you still have to put
25:59 product in it.
26:01 So I'm reaching out for things like the sea salt spray, things that are a little bit heavier.
26:07 Not greasy but just definitely a little bit heavier.
26:14 I'm coming through with my graduation, connecting both areas together now.
26:23 So you can see how the graduation is sitting now.
26:27 I'm going to do a little bit of dusting, I'm going to do a little bit of checking through
26:32 there and I'm also going to dry the hair slightly.
26:37 I've been putting my hands in it a little bit to try and get that cool texture.
26:44 I am going to go through very quickly with a diffuser.
26:48 It'll only take me a couple of minutes but I'd like to do the rest of it a little bit
26:54 more free today, a bit more free hand.
27:02 So all I'm doing is criss-crossing back through this back area and then putting the head back
27:08 a little bit.
27:09 I'd like to do something cool in the fringe as well.
27:13 So I'm very simply going to go through as I have with just that little bit more sea
27:18 salt spray.
27:21 I have already used the leave-in conditioner, the Day Day and I'm also going to just use
27:29 a diffuser.
27:32 I just use the diffuser sock which I think is really useful.
27:41 I just tend to use the sock which is the YS Park one and it just clips over the top.
27:46 I'm sorry for the noise, it'll take two minutes so stay with us.
27:50 I'm going to do this real fast.

27:54 [Diffuser Spraying]
27:56 [Diffuser Spraying]
28:25 If I want to get something that's a little bit more of an editorial look, then I will
28:31 use the tips of my fingers and kind of almost rub the hair a little bit.
28:36 This is a really good trick if you are trying to get texture and you're doing some kind
28:41 of photo shoot or something and you don't want to put tons of product on because you
28:45 know for example like the next shot you're going to have to blow dry it out smooth.
28:50 So you just use your fingers and you can really transform the hair texture.
28:55 I'm going to go for a slightly more editorial frizzy, fluffy, pretty kind of look.
29:01 If I was doing more of a diffuse dry in the salon, I might actually twist it and then
29:06 I would not touch it.
29:08 I would dry it without touching and kind of set it a little bit more.
29:11 But I'm just going to go for like a fun, slightly more editorial look.
29:14 So I'm going to put my hands in it because of that.

32:35 Okay, so she's not fully dry, but I'm just gonna still be able to
32:39 Continue to work and put my hands in it as she's drying off
32:43 I tend to use the palms of my hands a little bit to smooth the cuticle down
32:49 I like that kind of flatter look and then more pulled out at the bottom. So that's kind of what I'm going for
32:55 I'll put a little bit more finishing product in as well as I go along, but I wanted to address
33:00 continuing
33:02 To finish the haircut and moving through into more of a larger tooth comb now
33:07 Just to kind of keep that texture and pull that down a little bit
33:11 and then also just finishing off my
33:16 look so coming through and
33:19 You can start to play around and go into the outlines now you go that way for me. That's it
33:28 Cool, so I'm gonna comb that hair down and then very simply start to cut up and in using the tips of my scissors
33:35 And really just kind of bring this whole look together
33:38 Obviously that hair at the bottom
33:42 You know, it's not there to keep
33:45 we are going in now and
33:47 bringing that lens up slightly and that's going to allow us to
33:55 Reconcile the graduation and make it look
33:57 Something a little bit more special
34:01 so coming through using the points of my scissors and
34:05 Really kind of keeping it a little bit on the more
34:11 Grown out kind of feeling side. So I'm going in with the points of my scissors and
34:16 Keeping a little bit more of a broken feeling
34:23 And then I'll come through and take a little bit of that fluff off her neck off a
34:27 Little bit fluffy on the neck. You can use a trimmer for that. Obviously
34:32 Whatever you feel is appropriate for you
34:35 So I'm starting to get this really cute little
34:39 shape
34:50 I don't really like to go into people's hairlines very very heavily
34:55 I'm more interested in trying to work within their natural hairline
35:00 But if it means it's gonna look better and it's gonna suit them better on the profile
35:05 Then I will totally come in a little bit
35:09 So again coming through using the points of my scissors
35:13 Bringing that lens up. I'm going in so that my scissors are more on an angle here
35:20 As opposed to just straight in because I want to make it a bit more broken and a little bit more textured
35:27 And then coming all the way around into the other side go that way for me, that's it
35:39 And you know, it's just kind of depends on how you feel about hair at the moment one week
35:47 I'll be doing really kind of clean clean clean clean clean
35:51 outlines and you know kind of
35:53 Drawing in very very strong outlines other weeks. I'll be doing it kind of loose and textured
36:01 I think it's important to keep your
36:03 work very very varied and
36:06 To be able to do everything if you can only just do one kind of outline if you do everything really strong
36:14 Or you do everything really soft
36:17 I know it kind of gives you a bit of a signature, but it does limit
36:21 Your clientele you want to kind of be able to work with anything and everything coming through into that side now
36:29 I'm trying to reconcile the back
36:31 into the sides
36:44 And just really trying to have that nice relationship with your scissors as I said, you know, you can kind of work
36:51 Taking off that hair with your scissors if you prefer, you know
36:55 If that's something you're more comfortable with otherwise if you would like to you can always kind of use just a little neck trimmer
37:03 That's completely up to you
37:13 I think a lot of hair at the moment is all about not trying too hard
37:19 it's about doing something that's a little bit more simple and
37:23 Doing something that is you know a little bit more kind of clean
37:30 And very easy hair easy hair for the client
37:40 Okay
37:42 Coming around now again the hair is still a little bit damp
37:50 So I'm kind of coming through and still working it with my hands want to get some nice cute texture in there
37:57 Coming through into the front finally
38:01 Just put your head forward for me. I'm going to use the hair refresher, which is actually a
38:08 Leave-in dry shampoo, but I tend to use a lot for styling because it gives you that really cool
38:14 look
38:17 So I will actually change over
38:27 Okay that happens in the salon right folks
38:35 So I'm going to use the hair refresher, it's very kind of dry
38:39 Because obviously with a dry shampoo
38:43 You know, it's trying to absorb oil
38:46 But it's very beautiful to use
38:50 when styling as well
38:53 And then I'm just going to come around and do the finishing in the outline
39:01 This will be done more freehand
39:05 and
39:06 This will be done just simply by looking at how I want it to be around the face looking at the suitability
39:14 Do you want to keep it more square? Do you want to make it a little bit more rounded through there?
39:19 I like to kind of twist the hair a little bit. So I'm twisting
39:23 Opening and closing
39:28 So I'm not using like the blade like a razor if you want to do that then just use a razor that's you know
39:35 Razors job. I'm always very interested in using the correct tool for the job
39:40 So I'm going to twist the hair with my fingers a little bit
39:43 Open and close and actually cut the hair this gives it quite a raw
39:48 Feeling I think it's kind of
39:51 You know a little bit PC. I think when we do these kind of things
39:56 I think sometimes we can almost do too much and we kind of don't know when to stop sometimes and
40:02 We always end up making it kind of almost too perfect again
40:06 So just keeping it more of that raw feeling. I think it's a it's really good
40:12 So just keeping that looseness and then I'm really just trying to decide if I want to have these corners still
40:20 I'm going to pull the hair out
40:23 Come over and then just start to kind of freehand a little bit of pointing in here
40:28 So a little bit of pointing
40:34 Just kind of dressing this hair out as I freehand it so that I can have more of an expanded form
40:41 And it makes it more visual to be able to cut it
40:50 Coming around nearly there. How are you doing?
40:53 Okay
41:00 Coming through on to the other side
41:03 Very sorry about that little bit of twisting and then again, I'm going to open and close
41:17 And
41:19 Then
41:29 final parts around the face
41:31 How much you want to keep totally up to you and your client?
41:35 Have a vision though. I think it's nice for you to guide your clients through the process
41:41 I know clients don't like it if every two seconds you're kind of saying to them. What do you think about this?
41:47 How about that? Would you like that?
41:49 You know, they want you to kind of guide them a little bit and they really want to have you
41:55 Just take the gown
41:57 Give them ideas on how they should look they come to you for a professional
42:04 opinion
42:06 And they come to you because they trust you. So I think it's important to share your vision and also
42:13 you know plow through and plow forward with it and
42:17 Not ask them every two seconds. We ask them in the consultation on the big picture things, of course
42:25 But then after that it's up to you to kind of really
42:28 Steer the ship. Okay. Let's just do a little recap
42:32 Very simple technique. This is actually a haircut from my
42:36 comprehensive cutting program
42:38 So that's sallyrogerson.com
42:40 This is a haircut. That's a very classic because I've done it on a cool girl like Sarah
42:48 It looks pretty she has a really nice bleaching tone a little bit of roots. I really like that and
42:54 you know, I could also suggest doing a little bit of
42:59 Interesting color on her as well that would really bring the haircut out
43:03 So for Sarah I did my sides first on purpose
43:07 I went a little bit rounded and I then what went all the way through into the back using a heavy low
43:14 Graduation a simple techniques nothing tricky going on through here. There's no disconnection or anything like that
43:21 It just is what it is. I think modern
43:24 cool hair right now is quite simple and
43:29 I think that you have to have the confidence of cutting to be able to stand behind that and say hey
43:35 I'm just gonna do a bob, you know, because that's sometimes just what people want. So I hope that you've enjoyed it
43:41 I've really enjoyed sharing this with you and
