Long Hair SHAG. 80's HAIRCUT . Shag Me Baby 

I cut my own hair into a shag and I have NEVER had so many compliments about it.

Hi, I'm a retired hairstylist from back in 1969 & when the shag haircut first came in. I was taught to razor cut & I didn't like the shag at first, but it grew on me. I love it now & taught myself how to cut with the scissors & I used the razor some like you did. I did hairstyling for about 12yrs at JC Pennys! It was fun. I miss it some. My health won't let me anymore at 73yrs. But I did love to cut hair, & I did cut my hair myself. You did a great job teaching us how to cut this haircut, very precise, & slow, you did it like I would do it. Thanks for sharing! 💇‍♀️💺☺️❤️🎉

I'm 57 yrs old and rocked this cut back in the early 1980s. Back when I had beautiful thick hair.

Back in the 80's my Grandmother took me to a Salon and I asked for my hair to be Feathered and Layered. That's what this cut reminds me of.

Yessss... nothing better than 80's layers & big hair. That look should've NEVER been out of style. Singers Taylor Dayne, Stevie Nicks & actress Heather Locklear all rocked that look very well..

My sister just cut my hair last night and I had her follow this tutorial. It came out so well and I'm so happy with it! Thank you for the excellent tutorial!

I love all retro hairstyles- they required lots of hard work but compared to what we have now-.........MASTERPIECES!

Had this style in high school in the 80s. I would also get a perm that helped make styling time much shorter and made for even bigger hair 😄 I've always loved the shaggy bed head cut/ look.

Super excited! This is my regular style for 20 years. And then, I became very low maintenance, just let it grow until all 1 length and touch my hip line length of hair! Seeing this video, I want this style now at 60 years of age! TY!

This is exactly the cut I want! (Maybe because I lived in the shag era) Maybe if I show this photo to my stylist she can duplicate it. Your highlights made the cut have more dimension. Fun video! Love how precise you are before, during and after the cut! A pro all the way! 🙌🏻

My boyfriend has really long hair and we both are really into the 80s shag, so we just cut each others hair usually ( as we both know each others exact likings lol). It was nice to see that even without any clue I’ve been doing it the way you show it here! Still I learned a lot here when it comes to sectioning and technique. Thank you

Same way I've cut layers for 31 yrs..only I would really over direct the length in back over the top to save length and avoid the V. I use razor and shears. Love to finish with a dry point cut to avoid any lines. Which creates invisible layers. Over directing the length creates the same look only keeping length. I've been a educator as well. This is the standard that is a true layer cut. Tried and true cut. This goes all the way back to Pivot Point education. The degrees make all the difference in your finished results, and of course finessing the cut with texturing. Great job luv did exactly as I thought my students.

Oh my gosh, this is sooooo CUTE!!! This is the first video of yours I’ve ever seen and I subscribed to your channel as soon as it was over. I’ve been a hairdresser for 25 years and I’m still always looking for new fun things and I love the way you demonstrate. You make it so clear and concise. I’m so impressed!!

YES! THANK YOU, Summer for doing this cut! Just followed your"LONG HAIR | CURTAIN BANG TUTORIAL | LAYERS | FACE FRAMING | HOW TO" video last week on myself. This is my next step 🥰😍 BTW, my fine hair clients are loving the Moroccan Oil products you reviewed!

A beautiful cut! It's a style I rocked back in the day. You are a amazing stylist you have a gift.

I love to do combo razor and shear! But I do love razor cuts! They are softer! I'm 70 years old and retired! I did hair for 25 years and loved it! You do a fantastic job of explaining and demonstrating!❤❤

Your method is a lot easier to follow than a lot I’ve watched. Thank you for posting and sharing this ❤

This is perfect! I have lots of (heavy) hair and it definitely is the cut I need right now. Thank you!!!

The reason I love that haircut is I have curly hair and I can blow dry the top and let the rest dry naturally or I can dry it all and style it. S😅 I like that it looks good for a natural dry 😅r styling. You do a great job. I like the money piece too!!

I wish I could find a hairstylist like you ❤ You’re amazing!!

LOVE that cut. Wish you were near me. I try to explain this cut, but no one does it right. 👏😍❤️🥰

Absolutely GORGEOUS and so flattering!

I absolutely love the way you did the hairstyle I love to use both sheers and razor to get that mixed look! I am doing this tomorrow for the first time and watching you do it I’m shire it will come out great🙏🏽 thank you so much for sharing 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🥰

Your teaching methods are so easy to follow 😊

I'm a cosmetology school drop out but love restyling my wigs. This cut is great, thank you!

Thanks for your videos. I have been doing hair over 20 years and love learning new things without having to go to a class.

Can we please see how to blow dry this cut?

This has been my favorite haircut and no one has ever been able to do it. Thank you. It's beautiful

Summer I love this cut, and I use a razor often. However I think this cut needs a smoother cut with scissors, and then “shag it up “ with a razor just like you did, especially if the clients hair is already a bit rough. The layers should lay pretty, and then textured. You are a good teacher because your instructions are very clear and visible! Thank you, Darcy

I’m so going to get this hair cut over break! Love how you taught this,probably one of the best out there😁👑👑👑

Beautiful cut. I did this cut and it’s one of my favs

Absolutely love it....I've never been trained to razor cut so I've enjoyed watching!!!

The "V" Shape in the back is the most hated part of this cut. Speaking from girls everywhere in the 80's. It took 15 years to grow back out, especially if, like most of us, you have long hair!! The way to avoid this is sectioning off the back and cutting it separately, and just very long layers in the back (layers within 2 inches of the back only) which my stylist just did for me, and it looks fantastic!

I love doing wet cut first and I love finishing up with dry cut for all my haircuts . I love using the razor to give it a little texture 🥲.

Omg I love this cut. I’m scared to do it myself. I did try the unicorn cut & love the long layers. I just want more fullness around my face.

Beautiful cut! I have always loved this cut.and am going to share your video for instruction! Thank you!!!

girl i jus found you and im in love with all the videos. cant wait to fix my hair lol

You can always tell when someone was not born yet or very young when they think this hairstyle is 80s 😂 this isnt so 80s. The layers on top need to be much much shorter and not just around the face, 😂. Great haircut though!!

Love the way it lays,,I needed you about a week ago when I had my hair cut,,It was long now way shorter,,I ask for a long shag,layered hair cut ,YOU ARE AWESOME ,THANKS😁👍👍👍😇

i have this hair style but i wanted to touch up the layers. this will definitely improve the overall cut. thank you so much for making this!

I love this haircut!!! BEAUTIFUL❤

Super gorgeous hair cut!!!

I had this style in the early 80’s. Looked great at the hair studio, but I have a strong cowlick on one side that curled my hair into my eyes. So, I went for long and straight after that. No one ever seems to talk about cowlicks, and so many people have them.

Thank you so much!!!! When you styled it and turned her to the side, it was like looking at myself in 1984!! The only difference as to how my mom cut my hair, was my hair was much longer, down to the middle of my back. She would round the whole thing in back, and my bangs and top were much shorter, ( my bangs were always cut right under my brow),and the angle from my bangs to the bottom of my hair was very steep. The angle was not straight down, still had plenty of angle, but was not angled back as much as you did it, which of course shortens the length. When you said that you wished more clients would ask for this haircut, I was shouting “ME, ME!!” I want this haircut so very bad again, and I’ve allowed two people here in Texas to attempt it, and they just don’t get it!! I wind up with inches gone off my length, and the angle in front is wrong , all around, I just wind up with much shorter hair, and I cry for days, vowing I’ll never do it again. My hair has grown so slowly all of my life (except the top).. so it takes a couple of years for it to get the length back that I had. Anyway, I would blow dry the whole thing, with a half round brush, and by the time I was done, it was perfectly flipped back, and sleek, shiny and full of bounce. Then if I wanted extra lift and height, the curling iron came out!.. lol. How I wish you could cut my hair. I would absolutely trust you to do it!!😊. Thanks again for doing this video, and if I ever find someone at all around here, that I might trust to do it, your video will be the first thing they see!❤

I love this cut its beautiful.

ks for tyhe lesson. I just went back into the salon a month ago after 16 years. loving it :) connie

My fav hair cut. Love the razor, thinning sheers and sizzors. ❤

Such a GREAT tutorial how you broke everything down-great haircut and you are a wonderful teacher-love this !!!

Artists have their preferences, Precision Cut is mine.. I have allot of fine Hair, Im 59 & grew up during the popularized Charleys Angels Hair Styles, & Bedhead Goldie Hawn so Ive worn those same long styles myself & Cut many others this Style here 😆 its fun how Styles Repeat My Father was a Classic Barber & I learned to Cut watching him & later Cosmetology School. It's been my experience whenever Stylist use Razors on My Hair, or Ive used Razors & Chipping Ends as opposed to Scissors causes Tangles. A good Haicut takes patience, I found gathering smaller sections of Hair & Cutting flush across prevents tangling, the Hair flows & blends better, other wise the Hair Ends become too random in length & undefined causing Hair to Tangle & cause Split Ends from frustrating comb outs; (2nd Cut becomes more of a Correction than anything). I do see why the Razor & Sliding has its good uses if on the right Hair Type & used proficiently, however I feel in general Sharp Scizzors & patience is thee Key to a great Cut;

Me too retired Hairstylist. Was taught with a razor for a shaggy as well. Love what you do very talented.

I absolutely love this 😍😍

I LOVE this Style, & Your Tutorial was EXCELLENT, Ty

Thank you so much , I've learned So Much From You I'm Berly starting in this Profession And All Your Videos Have Helped me A lot 💗 Blessings 🙌 🙏

Excellent video!! I use the razor... and have done this to my own hair.. It came out nice, A little like a Farrah cut. Thanks for this!

I absolutely love this! I want it!! I don’t think my hair is thick enough though! Thanks for sharing the video!!

I wish I could find someone around my town to do my hair like this. Last time it was styled like this was 2000. Everyone butchers this haircut along with my hair😔

This is one of my favorites!

I ❤️ it. I ❤️ to watch Summer tutorial... step by step. Really amazing 👏.

Sublime, You're an artist 👏🏼😍

Omg 😮 I love it!L! Thanks for sharing

I have wavvvvvy hair and I’ve been looking into cuts that would best suit my hair to let it do it’s thing… I think I found it!🥰

Beautiful hair style. Thank you so much.

Was waiting for this ❤

Love love love this haircut!❤

I love this cut!!!

You did a good job. I love that haircut.

♥️ this hair cut I’ve always wanted this cut but no one could ever do it for me. Love you. Wish you could cut my hair 💞 you are my perfect A star ⭐️ hairstylist 😘

this was such a good tutorial, i have crazy thick hair and this made the cut so manageable!!!!

Loved the shag. I have thinking of having a shag for a while.

This is funny how I came across this video.. I am about do my first shag for a wig client of mind on curly texture. This was helpful. I’m not a cosmetologist but this was very thorough and gives me a good place to start

Love love love it!!

That is a really cool haircut! Is there any maintenance to this haircut to keep it looking styled or if not will it look naturally like when you styled it at the end? And is there any particular face shapes that would suit this haircut? What if I (the client) don't style the curtain bangs or the hair will it look flat or will it look kind of styled? Would the curtain bangs create any heaviness to the front? Will this haircut make me look younger? I have medium thick hair.
