Thanks so much for your interest in my videos and my brand "TheSalonGuy". It means the world to me! Watch celebrity Red Carpet Interviews, Fashion Events, Hair Shows, Celebrities, Motivation, Inspiration, Hair Tutorials, How To's, Education and videos in the Salon and Beauty Industry.
I started TheSalonGuy brand after the passing of my Mother and discovering a role model of mine who has a few books on turning your passion into a business. I have spent the last 20+ years in the salon industry, tech and fashion. I left the industry at some point to become a Fireman and Aux. Police Officer. I did 6 years service and resigned shortly after 9/11.
I have a passion for helping people, educating and motivating. I work with major brands, local businesses and individuals looking to expand and grow.
My videos will be focused on celebrity hairstyles, athletes, models, actors, social media stars and event videos.
I do this but at the forehead, unicorn and I love my Cut. Happiest I've been with my hair every time. EVERY other salon cut I was unhappy. I'm forever doing my own!!!
How is the unicorn cut different? I may want to try it that way even though I love the result I get by following what the Salon Guy did in this video except I do not have to slide cut after for some reason, the layers naturally just blend. I do have to use thinning shears on back of my hair because it's so thick.
@@annabanana377 unicorn means the ponytail is all the way to the front, right by your forehead. It makes the front layers the shortest, instead of the top of the head.

Keep Doing What You Are Doing !!
@@Kiki-wi7px I forgot to mention instead of slide cutting I do pointcutting.
Same here. Invested in hair cutting scissors a few years ago.. been cutting my own hair ever since.
Yes if you do this wrong, you get bad results. Usually people only do this on longer hair and you have to comb/brush all of the hair up to make sure it’s even once you cut it; you’re not supposed to tie your hair into a big floppy mushroom. You’re also supposed to dampen the hair so it is as straight as possible.
Correct!
Yes! He didn't try to do it right
I have stopped going to hairdressers because I always get someone like him and have NEVER came out of a salon with what I asked for, layers. I just thought that they were taught differently from when I was younger and just didn’t know or didn’t understand. Cut my own hair now, have done for years and saved a fortune.
Ponytail at forehead, not in the middle of the top of ur head....
Works wonderful, been doing it for years and I love it more than any stylist ever did !
@Priscilla downward, you can try the top too but personally I only ever did downwards because it works legit
its optional. Seems to work further back where before the head starts to go downward. And if you go all the way back i guess you get a bob. Or all at once i guess?
Almost every stylist I've been to screwed my hair up in one way or another. And it wasn't even a matter of taste, just basic things like poor technique, lack of knowledge or understanding of design principles.
Been to one recently, my dad recommended her. She was in a hurry for some reason and made a careless movement with a clipper, shaving off a pretty big chunk of long hair from my undercut, right on the forehead where it's most visible. Screwing up a hairline I carefully shaved myself and put a lot of effort to make it perfect. I was so frustrated. Every time I put trust in people they break it. Now I have to grow it out for ages and it looks ridiculous.
I've already moved several countries and still can't find myself a good stylist. I don't understand why this keeps happening. At least I have no idea how in the world I manage to get it right even without any education or experience, and they can't. If this repeats once more, I might as well come to believe that luck exists, god forbid. I'm not doing it again, I better keep those money, free time and nerves.
@@vlst8715 same shit happens to me, i had to bring friends to cut my hair because at least they pour their heart into it, and it really showed. it was better than any other haircut that i've gotten up until that point, and i haven't cutten my hair since.
@@hypoc09Yo, I've just cut my hair myself for the first time. 💪 Did this ponytail thing with some adjustments, then thinned the heck out of it with a safety razor. Thought it would look terrible but no, it's just what I wanted! I only have to ask my SO to shave my head in the back.
Still waiting for that chopped off hairline to grow out. 😤
Screw the hairdressers! Not The Salon Guy though, thanks god this channel exists.
I tried this last year (but it was less messy, i combed it) and it worked so amazingly well. This year I wanted the same haircut and went to a hairdresser and they completely f***ed up. They thinned it out way too much, i have no volume and one layer that looks like a bowl cut. I'm devastated. Never gonna let a hairdresser touch my hair.
Used to think hairstylists we’re irreplaceable by technology or otherwise. No longer. Except we still need them to show us dyi techniques. 😃
i done this a couple years ago i just put my hair in a high ponytail and cut it not knowimg what it would do
@@karaa4600 Wow, you're brave, lol.
@@srvntlilly it turned out so good lol
I grew it out but im thinking of doing it again 😭
Late to this comment, but the bowl cut ALWAYS happens to me. My hair is thick on the sides and that top layer always looks like a separate haircut. I always end up blending it myself at home so I just decided to start cutting myself and taking an hour or so to even it all out to the best of my ability. Only works because I have wavy hair, though.
That pony tail is awful! Lol you can't start w a wacky pony, half the hair out. Come on now, do it again! 😂
And he deliberately cut it uneven
I did this in the 70s. You can vary where you put the pony tail. On top like this or further towards the forehead and front of face. Definitely adds lots of layers.
Question. If I were to do it on the back of my head (a low ponytail) would it give the back of my head a short cut? I want to cut my hair short but unsure of how to do it at the back so I thought you may be able to help me with that.
@@todorokisfavouriteobject9109 yeah you hair in the back would be shorter
My sister was a barber at the MSU union building. She cut a lot of shags starting in the 70's.
I do this at home and I absolutely love it. I haven’t been to a salon in years and am happy as a clam 😁
I had hair down to my waist and used this method to cut it. I went as short as I possibly could, and it looked amazing. I was extremely pleased!! My hair has a natural wavy/curl to it, and every day was a good hair day! Loved it. No regrets here!!
i was actually curious what would happen if i tried this because i've been wanting to do this for a while but didn't find any tutorials. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR.
I think it's amazing. I love how fast and effortless it is for how cool it turns out.
Let's be honest, this guy set this up for failure.
Ego issues of course he’s being ridiculous…he’s a pro:
DANGER :do not attempt at home ..it will look hideous.
I agree, he could have cut it lower
Ponytail should have been tighter. And it does work.
It actually works. I did it many times and absolutely love the 80s my era. It supposed to be tighter and neater ponytail use a comb and bring it forward a bit more and not cut it so close to the rubber band although tried that too and it turned awesome as Van Halen Lol
If you want it shorter in the front instead of back, the ponytail should be in the front like a unicorn. If you want short in the front and back, have 2 ponytails, one in front and one at the top of your head. This does work and this guy did a tutorial on it a year after this one but Brad Mondo's are better. He shows both ways- you can look for "butterfly cut tutorial" and "wolf cut tutorial". Once you get a feel for how the lengths will distribute, you can modify it really easily to get the results you want. Doing it with damp hair is easiest and of course brush it well and make the ponytail as clean and tight as you can. You get all these random long bits if you are sloppy like he was in this video 😅 he didn't want this to work
He said it loos hideous but I like it xd looks cool
*aggressively pummels mannequin while cutting his hair*
I love messy hair, my hair has a mind of its own anyway, no matter what stylist I’ve been too, my hair has other ideas, so instead of fighting it, I now just go with it, i learnt to love my hair. I have just cut five inches off and with it’s natural wave etc, it looks fine, friends have asked where I went to have it done.
So happy to see all long hair guys at one place.
You made it look amazing free styling it. I can see male or female rocking it today. I’m definitely feeling it 👍🏼👍🏼
It would probably help if you had the hair brushed correctly
I do the ponytail method and it works perfectly
You cut too much off the ponytail and you never brush the hair evenly flat and then tie the hair tie.........use a 2nd hair tie.
I have saved so much money over past 8 years not going to hairdresser not to mention saved myself alot of tears because hairdressers usually do the opposite of what you ask for. Never leaving satisfied.
👍 EXACTY ! ! !
LOL I have saved since I was a little girl now 30 years old and still do it myself same when it comes to dying it😅
Right?! What's with that! Tell me what you want.... and I'll do what I want instead
If you have a lot of hair or thick hair I think it works great. I always did love the 70's and 80's Hair !!! LOL
It's works. It's how I cut mine. I bring ponytail more forward though.
You have to comb the hair really well and have it tight in the ponytail, smoothed out. Half of it was so loose and falling out , more on one side, so of course it comes out uneven or "hideous" , in his words. Works better if wet too. If you use better technique you don't have to do much additional cutting and clean up, just some blending/thinning out of the edges.
I’ve been doing this shag look for years as I have such thick hair so I love volume on top of my head.
At the moment I’m growing out my grey so my hair is so long and heavy and thick so living in ponytails.
I’m trying to decide wether I should go and get a hair dresser to blend my colour in at the moment.
As getting impatient or maybe bite the bullet and cut it really short and let it grow longer naturally again.
Good video.
You can’t beat a easy shag look so easy to look after. Short layers through long hair is awesome 😎
I've been doing this for decades....the shag seems to stay in style....thanks for your tips!!! Love the sober comment!! 😊
The salon guy: it looks hideous >:(
Me: but I love it :(
Same xd
Well, I shot warm tea out my nose when you said, "I'm doing this sober, unfortunately...". Did not expect that gem to tumble out of your lips... my good Sir. Thank you. Now excuse me I've gotta go get cleaned up. 😂😂😂
Hahahaha
Me too! Best be sober when you cut this bitch's hair! I'm an ex-hairdresser and I know stuff! To high of a ponytail.
First what I do is pull my hair into 2 side ponytails and cut at 90 degrees at the sides, comb it all out, then section at front and back of ear line, make 2 unicorn horns at front and back and cut at that horn angle then check for any stray hairs and cut those. Works great.
Salon guy! I would love it if you could do a tutorial on a DYI shag pixish cut.
I just tried it and I am happy to say I absolutely love it! I wish I had done it sooner. Your tutorial was very instrumental in how my cut turned out! Thank you!
please let us know if the unicorn method is viable for men and women
I cut my hair using rubber bands ALL the time! Your placement was ALL wrong...and IF done properly, it creates THE BEST shag EVER!
Nice Eddie Van Halen haircut, but, wow, did it bother me that you didn’t use a comb! 😂
The unicorn 🦄 haircut is in TWO ponytails that are banded closer to the front of the head. Not on top. And cut at an angle not straight across. ✂️
Thank you! As soon as a I saw the video I was like oooookay. Some stylist mad we cutting our own hair and he can't even follow the 3 step directions
I don't think that was the point. He was showing what happens if you cut a ponytail on top of your head. You can find unicorn cuts all over the place, this is exactly what I wanted to see.
I think it looks FAB❤
I love it this type of tutorial! Just a little patience and so very doable xx thank you for passing on your expertise ❤
2:16 this point looks gorgerous as f
The hair has to be wet and well combed towards the forehead.
Steps to remove weight in the back?
Try doing 4 ponytails around the head am sure it works. Sides behind and front.
Steven I wish you lived in my town. I would go to you in a heart beat. I have hair so thin I can't make a pony tail. My name is Patty.
Shag indeed, I feel like that mannequin is about to break out into a rendition of 'I'll stand by you' any second now;p lol.
This was very helpful and it made me understand more about the different areas of the head that you cut and how cutting from the highest point along as point of the top of the head and the shortest to the sides and the back very helpful thank you.
I’m pretty sure you made a scene haircut video doing this lol. Pretty sure it was you because I followed it and liked it😆🤷🏻♀️ maybe I’ll follow this one next
Aw
Hellooo! Im a 16 yr old trans guy, ftm, will be moving out soon and I need to cut my hair and save money, might try this soon and I pray that it'll look good-
hey you ever try it? my hair isn't even long enough to do this yet but i wanna do it so bad but like im scared if it doesn't look good 😭
This kinda nice ngl
I think you are Courageous and talented! It looks amazing! God Bless the Salon Guy!!
I see his point. In reality though, you would tighten hair to scalp comb until its evenly flat all around and DO NOT cut that close to rubber band. Etc. Then there is the pull all hair forward cut....
I did this cut for almost 30 years (from the 70's) to get my Farrah Fawcett style!!
What if I do the ponytail hair cut not on the top but in the back. Would that be okay? The reason why I want to cut my hair is because it’s getting too long. My concern is will the layering look messed up in the back?
I would’ve like to see you do this with better ponytail… yours was very loose and haphazard. Shouldn’t it be a combed through smooth pony??
I saw this same client in another chair and he looked much happier.
I love it man! Yeah! 😎
salon guy, can you make how to make your hair soft and silky for men, please? I want it and thanks a lot.
I desperately want that kind of hair too! I have this thick frizzy wavy hair and I try every thing, hair straighteners, conditioners, shampooing only twice a week yet my genes just don't cooperate. I badly want that Korean hair texture tho where it just falls down after you do something with it. My hair ends are so wavy as hell too.
Try hair conditioner..find one that promotes silkiness..
@@forpurposes3168 try a finishing product for the ends of your hair..one that you put on the ends after you're done styling or while your styling..the right one will work wonders!! Any beauty supply store carries a huge variety of product specifically made for that..
Try using a small amount of Nivea cream through dry hair it's amazing as a dressing to calm dry frizzy hair down
"Let's see what we got" cuts some more. "OK let's see what we got"
Kinda reminded me of nikki sixx in the early 80s
I did this with my hair and got some nice curtains
That's so sweet
You’re supposed to gather a ponytail high on your forehead. Not in the middle of the head. Of course it’s going to look stupid doing it this way. Other you tubers have cut their own long hair this way- gathering it at the forehead- and it looks beautiful. Just watch their videos.
I have been cutting my own hair my entire life. The few times I have been to "professionals" they do NOT listen. They don't know how to work with 100% natural and seem to hate long hair. My hair is waste length, if i ask for a 3 inch trim i end up with a ugly bob because non of them can cut straight ☹️ a good hair dresser takes a year to get a appointment so I gave up on them.
i like it; my hair is 2" past shoulders , bit longer in back. Thanks for doing this vid
Not exactly the way you're supposed to do it. Must be pulled tight and then trim off the ends, not that close to the hair tie.
I totally understand and respect that you are a professional. But people who use the pony tail method are not. So all of these profi techniques demonstrated are really not happening for most of us. There is also the logistical problem: just watching this, wondering "how on earth do I do that to the hair on my own head?!"
I dig the result you got here either way :D
I actually love it ❤
Reminds me of Steve Hackett( Genesis) Or Eddie Van Halen hair!
This was fun to watch! Thank you!
This is fabulous, thanks!
Absolutely amazing!
My hair is too short to do this :(
I did this during Covid, but I put the ponytail on my forehead like a unicorn and it worked.
I watched videos and the front ponytail seems to be the ticket, and it gets rid of the long fringe. Cutting a ponytail on the back vertical part of the head may result in a "gone through a hedge backwards" haircut.
I wouldn't let this guy cut my dog's hair
I love the pony tail👍
Hey man, could you please make a bread pitt 90s hairstyle video? For curtains or a middle part. more for a medium size hair.
Apreciate your content, love from Brazil.
Every time I get a cut it looks ok and even nice at one point and I say so and the “artist” keeps snipping away and tweaking and pulling out gadgets and having a blast till I’m fighting back tears and calculating in my head either how I can find someone to salvage this (if they left enough to work with) or how long it will take to look okay again. I’m an agreeable, pleasant person and want them to be happy with their work. So Though I make clear that’s good let’s leave it, short of getting aggressive and “no. Please stop. Really stop! “ I’m going to get a crappy haircut. And I’ve had this experience when I pay $40 and when I pay $400 and everything in between. So being able to do anything at home that is okay is a much better option.
Another fun experience is when I bring a picture of what I want. And that picture is me! Not sone celebrity - it’s a cute cut had and liked. I have nice hair- it’s soft and very full and super healthy and Not at all damaged and not processed at all and shouldn’t be hard to work with. They ALWAYS say they can do it (it’s not complex either, it’s a fairly common haircut) and never ever ever get it right - often not even close and its 100% different from both the picture and the clear instructions I gave. Ah the joy of doing your best to be a clear communicator and trusting they can do what they say and paying well only to be made miserable from incompetent people…
And “it’s just hair” is all well and good but people have jobs and a life and something that zaps your confidence and makes you self conscious and unhappy with your appearance or enslaves you to a daily nightmare of trying to arrange it with products and clips or whatever you must do to feel presentable - that’s a real harm that’s been done. And in fact the shape of the face and head matter in overall attractiveness and can make a significant difference. Looks shouldn’t matter so much but they do - in the world and to us personally. If anyone can find a way to take back control of this they absolutely should. So thanks for this video
What happens if you only cut the tips off of the ponytail? Further out not right up on the hair tie?
He didn't choose a mannequin with long hair. And he didn't even brush the hair smooth. Brad Mondo did it with longer hair and is unbiased.
Reminds me of some of Victor Tsoi's haircuts
I think I've accidentally slipped into the dimension where people know 😢combs exist but refuse to use them.
Did this the only reason why it looks different for me is cause i had a taper with my long hair. It looks alright
Well if you do it wrong like you do thn of course it's gonna look ugly O_O
🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽 Hair Band hair! 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
I feel like your not trying. Who cuts a clients hair like this, being all messy and in the face. You’re actually turning me off to the cut and I did this to myself in ‘79and it was great.
Yea it works ive been doing it since i was a kid. Its the only haircut ive ever gotten lol
😍 love it thanks 🙏
Does he do this correctly or is the bundled pony on top the only try?
Ik most likely nobody will see this, but will this work on pin straight hair?
The first one looks bad? That's how I like my hair
would this work if my hair is a big under shoulder level and that I put my pony tail behind ?
Eddie called, he wants his hair back
LOL
you should do a nick crosiar hairstyle tutorial
Thank you sir
Can this be done from a low ponytail in the back as well?
This comes off as a debunking video for the purpose of ensuring viewers never DIY and keep going to a salon instead. While I can appreciate warnings, it's clear the ponytail placement was wrong, anyway. Also, who has a hairline like that? No one. The mannequin here just feels like a set-up right off the bat. There are myriad other videos on real people that show how well the "unicorn" method works.
ponytail cut can be done in many different ways depending on the look youre going for. if you just want slightly edgy layers then yeah, placing it towards your forehead neatly would be better. if you want a shaggy sort of rock n roll mullet, top of the head is better. pretty much everyone who does this cut on themselves doesnt even mess up the placement, they just dont cut enough hair for you to see much of a difference anyway
does anyone know if this would look good with shaved sides?
Fantastic I like it
Could you do Vinie's new haircut? Thanks
I did this and it gave me a wolf cut lmao, looks decent but Im gonna get it fixed
hey could you do the new vinnie cut ???? por favor
You did the unicorn cut wrong
Great I love it👍it Would be so cool to make the famous George Michael haircut in the (everything she wants)vidéo clip it is so 80's and iconic ✌️😉
Lol, it works if you do it right
