One day I want to go to a park and see like 20 you tubers all shouting “it’s your boy” into their phones

This guys got the skills that taught me how to cut my hair and save so much money .. 👍💇‍♂️

One of the best tutorials I've seen yet! And I have seen quite a few! I am getting ready to do my first cut in 48 hours, and I think I have the basics down enough to avoid any disasters. I hope.

I just gave myself my first haircut in my entire life due to quarantine. YOU helped me look good!. No way it would have came out really good without you. Thank you so much!!!. I followed most of these but wish I had followed the guidelines on the head. I feel I could have lined up both sides more equal to each other. I will check out your other videos for guidance on this. Besides this the haircut came out really dope. Thanks!!!.

Always on point with the haircut vids man. I've learned the most from you these past couple of months in terms of self cuts. Thank you!

I’ve been gradually going shorter on my first guideline. Started off with a 1.5, then a 1, now I’m down to a 0.5 and going up to a 3.5 to the top. Looks great! Thanks Alex!

Thank you!! Please continue making haircut vids, It's been 6 months of cutting my own hair because of this guy! Support and learn from him

Your video will help me in a few weeks time to improve. Cut my own hair yesterday and made some small mistakes, but overall sense of liberation was well worth it. No more over priced haircuts for me, EVEN when things return to normal.

Hey Alex! This video is super helpful! Found your other video and really enjoyed your personality. Thanks for making it so easy to follow and entertaining. Hope you’re well!

I genuinely found this video to be informative and inspiring - Now I'm going to cut my hair :O I think the one thing I took out of this was the blending of the hairline - Glad I caught this before I risked anything.....

Ive been cutting my own hair for a little over a decade but its always just been a really short cut with tapered sides because i found it easier to get everything even if i cut it short. And while i do highly recommend doing that at first until you get comfortable i wish i had started trying to style it sooner. But my hair is very wavy and even slightly curly in some areas so cutting it for a specific style is very difficult which is why i stopped getting it cut "professionally". Most "professionals" just dont know how to cut wavy or curly hair. Anyways this video and another of yours has been helpful this past year ever since i started getting more adventurous with my haircuts. If anyone is reading this who still gets their haircut "professionally" i highly recommend cutting your own hair. Its about $30 for an entry level Whal clipper (and they are perfectly fine, ive been using mine for the whole time ive been cutting my hair which is over 10 years at this point. I just replace the blades every 3-4 years and keep the clippers clean and oiled). So $30 and you never have to pay for another haircut again. For most people money is really tight these days and most places who do half decent haircuts are going to charge at least $30. So for the price of one hair cut you can cut your own hair for the rest of your life. And its YOUR HAIR so you know it better than anyone and once you get good at cutting it youll be able to cut it better than anyone else can. If your like me and you cut your hair about once ever 2 months then in about a year youll have the hang of it. And in about 3 years youll never want anyone else to cut your hair ever again and youll regret not learning to cut your own hair sooner.

Alex Kouras, Your own haircut tutorial is perfect.

Once again, total 100% talent.

Thank you for not talking down to your viewers for not being professionals. So far this is the best video I've found for basic tips on how to use my clippers that doesn't expect me to already know all the terminology and everything. I'll be cutting my partner's hair, so thankfully we won't have to worry about the mirror set-up or bad vision once the glasses come off.

great job alex, been cutting my hair for over ten years but always struggled with blending. Any tips other than using half guard? Also, what equipment do you use? MODEL and brand, thanks!

That quote at 6 min is exactly what I needed to hear today

Thanks so much for all of the tips! they helped me cut my own hair lol... and make it look decent. you even inspired me to make my own channel!

Great videos : I have wavy hair like yours and cut my hair into a quiff going from long on top to shorter towards the back, when I comb the front of my hair forward you can see my scalp and a gap in my hair and doesn’t look as full , I’m going to to try growing it longer to see if it helps !!

Bro, I’ve used your videos and cut my hairs already 3 times! And each time better then before 👍🏼🙏🏼

Mr. Handsome is back. This intro was much more natural, would prefer this over the ordinary intro.

Ive been cutting my own hair, then my fathers, then my brothers for years. I always recommend they wash their hair and that it is damp, not wet. And between cuts I pop the blade off and clean/oil it. Cutting your own hair is easy once you figure out what numbers you need where, but every hairstyle is different. Ive learned not everyone can pull off one hairstyle so I absolutely hate cutting my brothers hair. My dad's is easy, I just trim him every 2-3 weeks. Great tips though! Thanks brother!

Thanks for the tip especially the specs and contact lens one

Great explaination,great suggestion,great job...bravo Alex👏👏👏looks awesome❤❤

I find it easier if i held the 2nd miror myself. I could get closer to my 1st miror and see it beter. The miror i use isnt that heavy so no problems with shaking or anything. But i do enjoy cutting my own hair, im getting better everytime so its pretty awesome. I got the same hairstyle as you but i got very straight hair, no wavey hair or curly hair. I did the back with a set of beard trimmers and added another fade so the back would look cleaner, worked like a charm. Great vid again Alex

Awesome content man keep up the good work, excited to see more 🍿

Bruh, this helped me out so much! Good looks dude

Please do a video on turning shoulder length hair into a fade self haircut tutorial. My hairs grown too long and I want my fade back however there is no barbershops open. I would be so grateful. Thanks man, love you channel ❤️😊

Here for a refresher/new ideas. Been cutting my own hair for 16 years and mostly do it by feel these days in about 20 mins. This guy is ABSOLUTELY correct about the big standing mirror and the contact lenses. I wear glasses and specifically put my contacts in for cutting my hair. Good luck gents

Alright broheim, you earned my subscription. Keep the good content coming!

Great advice Alex! I've been following your videos and have been cutting my own hair for the past two years. I've been getting better but the back is still a little difficult. At least I know that if I mess up, that I didn't pay a guy to mess it up.

You are so funny!!! And very skilled!!! I have made all those mistakes in the course of 20 years cutting my own hair. Thanks for teaching me new skills🤗

Great job! I started clippering my own hair far b4 the pandemic. Thanks for ur tips.

Started cutting my own hair during lock down ...I've gotten pretty good at it ...wont go back to barbers thanks

Loving all your videos 🙌🏼

Love the follow up videos. I need all the help I can get 😂

Alex: I'm not sure if I'm already in a position to cut my hair, I'll try, but I assure you, I had a lot of fun with your video. Greetings from Buenos Aires.

Alex, great tutorial. Probably the best on the internet. Thanks.

Loving this channel! Got my mrs to follow the cut using beard trimmer only and it turned out passable. Gonna get her to carry on practicing during lockdown and hopefully can save me money in the long term 💵

Bro I am F***ing dyingggggg. That mirror shaking was so me the first time I cut my hair lmfaooooooooo.

Thank you so much for making these videos! I cut my own hair for the second time. The first one was just the tips to see how it went. Waited a week and then cut it in half because my hair was pretty long. It went well!!! My family and friends were impressed with the cut. THANK YOU!!! x3

Just got some new clippers. I’ve been cutting my hair and others for 6 years and was looking for some additional ideas. Loved what you had to say.

AWESOME!! THANK YOU ALEX!!

Loved the last couple vids on cutting your hair. Please do one tapering the neck instead of boxing it if possible. Thanks man and great job.

Alex, great advice! You are very good, sir!

Hi Alex, which is the best model hair clipper / trimmer you would recommend for a beginner, for self hair cut ? Hope this message reaches you... with all wishes, Awaiting your response,

You are so dreamy.... 😍💕 U make me smile 😊

Great self hair cutting video Alex! Maybe you want to do a specific video on the equipment you use. Ceramic vs Metal blades and how to keep your clippers in top condition. After learning how to self hair cut, I don't think I'll ever visit a barber again. My son also get his haircuts from me. Awesome channel Alex!

im very interested in cutting my own hair and styling it how i like. what clipper do u recommend thats cheap but good qulaity. love your content ❤

Great advice thank you!

I tried cuting my hair once before but my scalp was sore after it and I don't know what I did wrong. I do know that my hair got caught on the clippers a few times so how do I avoid that?

Great tips! 👏🏼 Thanks so much 👍🏼

Good tips on the contacts - I’ve been wearing glasses a lot more and forgot that I should put on my contacts when I attempt to cut my hair for the first time. That would have been awkward.

Hi Alex! Thanks for the video I really learned a lot..I’ve been doing my own hair for every 3 years already this vid was very good explained.. thank you! 👍👍👍.

thank you for the video bro

Great & helpful content.

❤❤❤❤❤ I really want to cut my hair after being inspired by your video but I'm just a little scared. I do not know how to react and how to deal with the situation if the results are not satisfactory.

I cut my hair for the first time a couple weeks ago and I had to use a handheld mirror to cut the back and sides😂now I bought a 3 way mirror so I should be set

NICE tutorial men. Ur advice very effective thanks men

I cut my hair for the first time using you guide. Now im about to do my 3rd self hair cut I dont think ill ever go back to a barber lol. I cant cut my hair as good as you can but who know with practice maybe one day i can get close.

Aww man you got me with the #9 😂 cause I wear glasses and that’s a hassle for me but luckily I wear contacts too

Hii sir..sir can i cut my hair with nova nht1076 trimmer.. Plzz suggest me..thanks

Man, your videos are great

great tips bro. thanks!

Thank You 💯

Hey I have one question : can I use the trimmer in the largest position possible to cut my top part of my hair when dry (that is in the fact it is straight)

Excellent. Many thanks. Could you tell me, I have Wahl beard trimmers for my goatee. Can I use them to do a no. 3 buzz cut all over without purchasing a set of hair clippers? They do come included with hair combs for haircuts, but for buzz cuts? I’m in my 60s, and much of my hair is now gone - but still some on top. Thanking you. Dave, Australia

I used those round mirrors once that I could grip the stem of and used that to cut the back and sides of my hair, never went crazy to cut too much off but the cut turned out pretty decent lmao

Great advise not only for self haircut but life wisdom👍

Great content, thanks

The only guy who actually considered the fact that people with poor vision also would want to cut their own hair.

looks perfect!

How much tall is your wall mirror for cutting back of the head bec I can't find proper wall mirror . I don't have some legde in bathroom where I can put it when needed for cutting hair so I would have to put it on floor

Lockdown period of this corona forced me to learn self hair cutting,thanks bro, once I tried big success 👌✌️👏💪🏼👍

Great video! Thanks!

Well...did not ONCE question how I was gonna do this being deeply shortsighted when I bought the clips... That last tip saved me

Made the #7 and #8 mistake 😭... Now waiting to get back some volume to give a lil shape... And give some proper fade .... Ur videos r really useful 👍💯

Love it 😍

You are super ! Thank you for your videos !

Top Man! Thank you very much.

Bro, nice video. Well done.

You're very talented at cutting your own hair. 🤩 Looks great! I'm a woman with way TOO MUCH hair and I think about shaving all my hair off. I could make a giant wig off all my hair! 😩

Well done!!!

Do i need chordless for fades or not necessary? Wut fo u think?

I've been cutting my own hair for decades and THE #1 mistake is..........coming home drunk and deciding to cut your hair.

I cut me own hair today. I never did it before. It was very difficult and I thought I'd screw it up. I used a blunt small kitchen scissors only and a mirror. Wet hair beforehand. I didn't cut it too tight. top 3-4 cm... Sides and back about 2 cms. I managed to a shape around the ears and cut the back straight by feel. That's the key. You don't need an electric clippers. I used a razor over and back on my neck which was wet beforehand and rubbed my neck with plenty of hand sanitizer alcohol afterwards.

Making it so simple 🔥

Where can I buy that clipper that you used ? Model? Brand name ? and the number of the adopter on the clipper?

Hey Alex.... where are u from??? I love your hair texture I wish I had the beautiful waves but I got extremely curly

Nice vid. Thanks broseph.

So hard to get the perfect part line by yourself.

Very good video. You are funny, without trying hard. I liked the sketches you have, as I can identify with these mistakes.

Unfortunately I have to wet my hair with the clippers. It’s so light and fine it just won’t work. The initial part of each stroke is fine with dry hair, but the last few hairs just get pushed up. I usually do my sides from the top down. So on the first pass I cut the entire side with the longest guard I’m going to want near the part. The hair closest to the part I have to dampen at least a little in order to get them. Then as I work down with two more guards I just dampen as necessary.

awesome Video!!

That's great ♥️👍🏻

How about some info on the clipper guide numbers !

Your explanation was easy understandable

the top of the head is the hardest for me, thanks for the tips!!!

can you do a tutorial with a # 8 on a woman. Im cutting my hair but the area beliw the crown is long and i dont know what to do

Thanks for helping saving bucks👍
