I loved how taking just a small bit of length off of the back of Christines hair immediately took the attention away from the chin and lifted her face. I initially thought the blonde was better, but the darker shade did give more definition and highlighted the eyebrows, again, subtly lifting the face, 50/50. Thanks for sharing.
Love the well-groomed facial hair! It changes your face shape and also balances and sort of “integrates” the darker skin tones created by your body art to form a pleasing overall look. And I do like the contrast of your pastel shirt with the “darkness!” You can definitely rock the beard! Secondly, all the small changes you made in Christina’s hairstyle really add up to create a more flattering shape and add overall polish. I like both the blonde and the darker colors, but like you, I gravitate towards the blonde for her. I always enjoy your videos, Justin; I learn something new from each one. You definitely have the “educator” gift!
The trouble with going dark at this age is that if at some point you decide to stop coloring your hair and just go with your natural gray it's going to be a lot more of a hassle to grow out. Something to take into consideration once we reach a certain age.
No, I grew mine out. I told my hairdresser that hi light my hair then bout it short. I was going to culinary school and knew I live a Life poverty as a student going back over 40 years.
I love the dark. She looks much more youthful & her eye color pops too. Also enhances her skin tone. Your suggestions on cut was on point & it knocked 10 yrs off of her. Good job!!!! 🥳
@@helenmeldon2612 I think you're lucky There are FAR better stylists out there who actually make a difference... This guy is quite possibly one of the worst judges of "style" I've ever seen No way would I let him do a "make over" on me 🤣
First of all, I love your facial hair!! It just fits you with all the tats. Next, it amazes me what shortening the nape does to bring the whole face up and I've watched you do this over and over and it still amazes me. (It's time for my hair to change.) I actually really like the darker color on her which is different for me because I tend to think lighter is better as we age, but in this case. I have to agree with you that it's so much richer on her. I know you ultimately chose the warmer blonde color but you asked for our opinions and that's mine.
Just going to the salon today for color & deep conditioning. I've been growing out a pixie cut for 3+ years now (decided it wasn't for me). Todays video confirmed a few things for me and I'll have the back of my hair shortened a bit. Like "they" say, getting older's not for the weak. *PS Keep the beard if YOU feel good wearing it. Personally, I think a well groomed beard is very attractive.
The two suggestions I would add is perhaps do some wispy bangs so her forehead isn’t so prominent. I like your suggestion of the darker hair color but would add changing to edgy eyeglass frames to add to a youthful look.
I agree with your comments & recommendations. The problem for many of us is two-fold: One- thin, straight, stringy hair. This is very difficult hair to cut & style nicely. Two- Living where there aren't any really good hair stylists. I live in a small town & 99% of the hair dressers are from the "beauty college" up the road. They all cut hair exactaly the same. regardless of the photo, magazine, etc, that one brings in to show them. At 70 years old, I can't drive an 1 1/2 hours (one way) just to get my hair done every 3 months or so. Therefore, we just put up with the cut we get & I've come to accept that I will have unattractive hair until I finally exit this life. I'm certainly hoping God has something miraculously gorgeous for me in heaven after a lifetime of kitty fuzz.
Why can’t you enjoy a day trip? I do …because I am worth it. Seat time is lovely and I look forward to it, except mine is every 8 weeks so 3 months should be easy peasy…YOU are worth looking your best!
Perhaps you could get a group together for a visit to hair salon thats an hour and half away. Would be an interesting day out too. Then upon returning your little group could walk passed your local hairstylists and send photos of before and after cuts. Maybe they will bring in a new teaching team to the college
Your new look suits you so much 😌. Christina “lights up” with your 4 little changes. It always blows my mind, but wow!! The dark hair on her is fabulous
I like your beard! I also love the reddish brown tone. I went from an ashy blonde to a dark reddish blonde for the same reasons you mentioned (skin tone) and it makes all the difference in the world. I'm 70 years old and it took several years off my appearance. I know gray roots are an issue but the Everpro powder root touch up takes care of that perfectly.
I agree with the changes you suggested for Christina. The shorter length in the back and the fullness on the top sides both accentuate her head and face shape. The warmer blonde color is my preference for her coloring but the darker brown is not a bad choice either. You made a comment early in the video that really struck me today--about seeing our hair style from different viewpoints, from the back, in profile, not just straight on. I know I am guilty of forgetting that so thanks for the reminder! Your facial hair looks awesome!
Justin, you are excellent in your interpretations and your perceptions of what is going on with analyzing hair style, and facial features. Your explanations are very clear and understandable!
I'm a clean face girl---not a fan of a beards at all, ever, but that said, yours is nicely maintained and shaped--looks good. I generally agree with the changes you recommended that help Christina. They did help her look more vibrant and happy.
I agree with the alterations suggested for Christina’s hair. Immediately, I thought the back was too long and the front too flat. I would shorten the back even more, so it angled upward at the naoe of her neck, added fullness at back, crown, and swept away from her face. Would layers help to create more volume and movement? As for the color, I agree with warming the tone and going a bit darker. Some variation adding high or low lights would be pretty. Not being a hair stylist, I don't know if my vision is compatible with the texture of her hair. I've not seen you before, so I can't comment on your beard, however, it's nicely groomed, which is the only way facial hair looks nice, in my opinion. 😊
Wow! Major improvement with just a few changes. My wife was curious to see how the look would change if a long top layer was cut, then blown upward, out, around with a very large roller brush. That layer would end about where the top rim of her glasses begins. Hope that makes sense...something to add more height to her face where it wouldn't appear as if her hair and glasses were all one piece. Maybe not possible since it appears she has fine hair. This lady has a high, wide forehead, and a long rectangular face shape, as does my wife. Maybe adding a little extra height might add a little extra spark??
The beard: it definitely works for you. A neat, short beard can be very enhancing! Christina: The dark richness: is a little too dark. Maybe try color half-way between the blonde and the dark? Or do it more gradually, over a few sessions, to lessen the “shock”? The modifications to back- look great. The modifications to the side- to me are iffy- ? a smidge too much cut off? I like option of brushing hair a bit forward OR back, this doesn’t leave any option. I can relate very much to Christina’s style, except that my hair is baby fine, thin, straight-straight, and is definitely high maintenance, which I hate/ DESPISE. And boat-hair or ski-helmet hair becomes an overwhelming challenge. I’d love to get your thoughts on managing those types of conditions!
I’ve also heard (and feel) noticeably darker change of hair color can be somewhat harsh/aging. I think a shade midway between her before and after pics would be beautiful for her skin tone.
Love the beard! I think you look younger. As for Christina, shorter all over is better, brown is okay if she wants to deal with the maintenance, and yes, I saw all the mistakes. 💕💕💕
Loved your video, first time I’ve stumbled across you. I’ve recently lost all my hair so have a blank canvas and am trying to work out which wig styles and colours suit me best. Feels like I’ve opened up a whole new world of fun!
Justin, “I love it”, the hair on the face brings a natural attractive look to your jaw line, the color and shaping fits your style of outdoor adventures! It fits your personality! Obviously, I’ve been following you for a long time! A loyal FAN from Wisconsin. ❤
I love your facial hair, it looks great! I agree with the tips you mentioned for Christina. I like the warmer blonde and shape up of her cut. The brunette is not a bad option if she wants a real change. Sometimes we need a real change!
I think your beard looks fabulous on your face shape. Very much like the way you styled your hair a little bit more off your face with the beard. Your silvers are a wonderful color on you.
I agree with the changes you proposed, it softens her look too with the darker hair as well as the subtle changes to the style in fact it all looks quite vibrant, 🙃
Your beard looks great on you! Very handsome. And for your model… I like the darker color with the changes in cut as you pointed out. And perhaps a quick tutorial on how to style the cut to get height and volume on top of her head. She’s of course beautiful before any changes. ❤️
The subtle hair cut changes and styling made a difference and she does look more attractive. As far as color , I too like the darker shade but I think I would have kept just. little lighter at the very front. I always do my root color as 7N but bleach highlights and this is so pretty on aging faces. But I am aware it is much more maintenance.
Justin, I absolutely love love love the dark hair. She looks young and vibrant! Now, here's a question for you: Have you ever thought about doing a Mother/Daughter makeover around Mother's Day? Just a thought... I'm 55 and my Mama is 75. I have 3 kiddos. My oldest daughter is married. My son just got married and my youngest daughter is moving to France. BUT my my is the oldest of 11 children AND she raised us 7 children. She's amazing. She looks great. She's had some health scares recently. I would just love love love for her to look as amazing as she is!!!
Loved this video, and the facial hair - it works! I have lived in Portland all my life, so I understand that the beard/facial hair experiment hits most men here at some point in their life. While I’m on the heavier side, and my face puffier (is that a way to convey more weight in the face & neck - ha!), than the model here, my hair cut has a lot of similarities. You really helped me understand why my stylist, Nina, cuts the back shorter than I requested. “It’s all about the line, silly!” I’m also going to use the other suggestions, but Nina has my blond color with low lights spot on! Thanks for all the great content you make!!
For you: I love the beard!! For her: I thought the darker color made her look older. So I preferred the blonde color. Was hoping a curveball that added a wispy bang. Look forward to Tuesdays for a new Justin video!!
Amazing how cutting the back impacts Christina’s overall look! Ditto the sides near her temples. At first I liked the brown, but will stay with the blonde color for her. Justin: I like your beard and like a nicely trimmed beard. Very nice.
I really appreciated this and agree that the darker color was a bit too drastic. I Also love your beard, and loved when we/I started trimming my husband’s beard like your current look. Sign me a former hairdresser that worked in the same salon for 36 years & have kept my license for 51 years…
First of all, love the beard! And do I detect a little darker color in your hair as well? As for our beautiful model I like the changes you made bringing the back up and the sides shorter. I would go with the blonde but believe she could benefit with some soft side swept bangs as well 😃
Hi! I’m generally not a fan of facial hair, but yours looks like it is the right color and cut for you. I love Christina’s hair color and would also say it would work well going into the gray, especially with the blonde tones. However the darker color helps her to look more vibrant!! The cut you showed improved the look quite well, but how about some layers and product to fluff it up more?
love the beard 😊 I like the length being taken off! Is it just me or does Christina remind anyone else of the beautiful Diane Keaton? I would keep the blonde and warm up the tone. the brown made her look older, in my opinion.
I think I would lose the blond, but go with a silvery white with darks to add depth and form. I like the cut as you showed it could be. It looks more polished yet keeps a young sort of wash and wear without fuss look!
I was expecting you to suggest more height at the top. The shorter sides and back work really well. The warmer blonde color is a pretty color and appeals to me as a blonde myself so I was surprised that I liked the brown more. I think the brown hair brightens her face.
More height at the top is not a thing on the west coast. Speaking from experience. Flat irons were the rage that began here and still are with real people so it’s cultural.
@@reddy3400 I so agree with you. Each part of the USA has just different approaches to hair style, color-or-not, and then there is the whole issue of make-up! Would be helpful if Justin would take these various regional aspects as he does these make-overs.
I love the changes to the cut and I love the warmer blonde for Christina. I think the beard looks great on you. I also think you’re wonderfully handsome clean shaven. 😊 Bottom line is do what makes you feel good. Hmmm, where have I heard that before? 🤔
Love the new shape. Interesting that the few changes make such a difference! The blonde would be easier to blend in Christina’s colour as it grows before the next haircut. Love the facial hair 🧔
Every time I watch these videos I exclaim, why can't I find a hairdresser that knows this stuff?! Even when I bring photos for cuts that will work for my texture and have realistic expectations, I never get a cut or style I'm happy with and I'm 60.
Sorry to disagree with you but this guy certainly does not "know his stuff" All her cut required was shaping into the neck a bit in the back, layering the top to give it body & movement & feathering at the side's & fringe to make the cut lighter & younger. The dark colour was hideous, a warm honey or caramel beige/blonde as a base, cool vanilla highlights throughout with extra added through the whole front section would have had a lifting & brightening effect to her face. You should find a stylist you like/trust & are happy talking to, have a few trim's/blowouts & treatments with them, get used to how they work & allow them to get to know you & your hair.. when you feel comfortable with them start discussing "new look's", collect pictures of styles you like & talk to them , see what they like/dislike about your choices & together work out what style/colour suit's your face shape/ age & lifestyle Be prepared to step out of your comfort zone, they may possibly recommend a style that you'd normally not consider but that turns out to be exactly what you need. Remember hairstylists work in the service industry, they want you to look your best & be happy with their work so SPEAK UP if there's something you're not sure of or happy about 👍👍😘
@@archiesmum8601 guess it shows how bad hairdressers are where I live and I've tried many from cheap to expensive. The most expensive guy was the worst. But I appreciate your advice.
I like the changes! I like the darker hair too. I love a little more fullness but find it hard with thinning hair, which happens a lot of times as we age, unfortunately!
I like the look of the darker hair, but I think she needs some blonde highlights, especially around her face. It may have been wise to do some lowlights on the blonde hair to start with.
I love my silvering hair! I was born a towhead (white), it turned light brown, then deep auburn. Now in my later years, my silver ‘threads’ literally glisten against the rest, adding dimension better than any expensive salon highlighting could do. The most important part, my hair naturally matches my coloring as time goes by, and actually brightens my profile. Though hyper wavy, I can style it any way. I did start taking Biotin, a vitamin supplement. Now, if I could just figure out how to fight humidity without flattening it all with heavy products!
I like the beard Justin! A new alter-ego for you. I do like her as a blonde, but the darker hair brings out her eyes more. I think shorter pixie length would work very well on her.
I'm a retired stylist, I agree with the improvement with the hct, i think even a "soft" stack in the back would work for even more volume. I would not go Quite that dark...a shade lighter perhaps with some very soft highlights...
I was just sitting here thinking "Wow, Justin looks exceptionally handsome today. I wonder what's different?" Seems the beard is such a good fit that I didn't even realize that it was new! I say 100% keep it!
Hi I like the dark color on the last pic. She can also change her makeup coloring a bit to match her new do & color. She can do that quite inexpensively and look and feel great. Another helpful video as I am older and do wear a pixie and I have been changing it up recently every time I get it cut, (and maybe also in my bathroom with my own scissors) Thanks for all the advice
OMG! I need your advice! I keep sending your videos to my stylist, but I think she is getting irritated with me! You are so detailed and take so much into account when thinking about hair. I’ve never run into anyone who is so considerate of so many things and so knowledgeable, and I modeled for Horst back in the day!
I ran into the same problem with my stylist…….I asked for something different with more layers…..she kind of went off on me when I told her my hair still looked the same😂😂😂. Needless to say…..I found someone else!
I am probably in the same age group and have roughly the same color as Christina and similar hairstyle. I feel, for me, and perhaps for Christina, that if she were to go with the darker color but have a few more blonde highlights it may make her more youthful ( I got a lot of compliments when I made this change). I know as we get older, our hair should go lighter however, blonde hair can look lackluster and dry. I am glad that my hair meets the better hair choices, not longer in back or flatness (am a 70s girl, need to have fluffy hair especially since my hair is fine). However, the sides of my style do frame my face a bit and I have a "smaller" face so will explore playing with the sides to pull it off my face more and see how that goes. Thanks.
I am also mindful of my color choices in my clothing and in my jewelry which I prefer to be golden. There is no much to consider when aging, and I don't mind aging because I am thankful to be able to say I will be 72 next year; I look 10-15 years than my age and it is entirely due to my family genes and yes I will admit, I do excercise, eat healthy, and take care of myself.
Thumbs up on your beard! Christina’s hair looks nice with all of the suggested changes including the warmer blonde. Tempted to suggest a modern pixie cut as an alternative.
I love your beard! 🤩 I think I agree with you as far as the liking the blonde better. I like the shorter back as well! Maybe even more of a stacked look in the back for more fullness? Maybe a wispy cut around the ears and some wispy bangs softly on Christina’s forehead….
Though it’s my first time seeing your videos I’m liking the beard. Love the trimming up you did on her and could see the subtle but great changes! I’m preferring the lighter color which is probably transitioning her into her lovely senior years 😉
I would go with a darker shade and lighter strands to put more shine. You were right about the side view, nap looks way better tapered short. Will have to work on my « side view ».
Justin I love your before and after graphics and I love this format! very concise and efficient and interesting more helpful than your outdoors shots even though they were pretty. Bravo👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Nice facial hair. Not too long and not too short. It’s a sophisticated look. I also like this woman’s blond hair better. The suggestions you gave for the cut made her look so much more attractive! I’d love to see some stying tips for medium length hair. I just got a cut and it’s the length of a long page boy. I could use some help with styling it. Thanks.
You suggested the same changes I did, but if I were going darker with her color, I would only go very slightly darker. I thought the caramel tint was too dark. It needs to stay brown, but lowlights or reverse streaking might be fun.
I think putting lowlights of the darker color mixed in with the blonde would look great! Then she'll have the warmth she needs as well as the blonde, cool color she loves! ❤️
When adding low-lights, you went to far on each extreem. I would hit for a blend of the color changes. Otherwise, basically the blond with a little more contrst. 2. I was itiching to get in her hair and fluff it up all over and then smooth it in style. This would give her more feminine and get away from the dowdy plain look. She needs some colored moisture foundation with gently shades of blush. Very suttle. Of course, the gently eye, only a hint, and gently color with lip stain/mat color. Her glasses are plastic and old/heavy on face. She needs a lite weight titaniumn. Maybe a crystal of some type some where on them. I would like to see her as i described and it sould be low-keyed and inexpensive, and sutle. What do you all think? I believe that all women can be beautiful--no matter what. Don't underestaemate the value of skin care keeping w-masking, and moisturising daily. Cheer ~~~
I prefer the blonde. Your changes made a definite difference. I’d also like to see her with wispy bangs. I think that would be a flattering addition & would give a bit more lift to her look.
Such a great point Shelby! This is when the consultation should go a lot deeper. This is when we, as stylists, need to learn what you've had that you liked/disliked, how you style your hair, what you do for work, things you wish your hair would do, struggles you've been having with your hair etc etc etc. This way we can come to a style together that works FOR you as well as looks good ON you.
Like your beard. Like the shorter back for Christina with the warm blonde. The volume makes a big difference. Makes it look like she has more hair, so more youthful.
I like all of your suggestions. When I look at her from the side view, I prefer the blonde. When I look at the front view, I like the darker shade , because it brings out her eyebrows and eyes to me. Maybe darker with hightlights would be nice?
Interesting channel of helping viewers understand what is NOT working for them and what might work better. Love it!!! Thumbs up!! And the very short beard is very attractive on you. Keep it!
Stronger +more modern! Inverted Triangle cuts are a MUST for narrow heads. As are Neutral Blondes/Brondes that BALANCE gold/ash to neither wash-out nor ignite into fuschia glow Fair Complexions w/pink undertones. n Well-Groomed facial hair is very attractive esp. w/a modern haircut! 🎯
how come i see all the mistake that people make with their head and i have no clue what to do with mine 🤪

Yes,.Rabbit,.🧓the coloring is exhausting. Alot of upkeep/Fake,. Keep it! &&& My natural color, a blonde grey/many compliments!
Yup. Go with the blond. Dark hair is a hassle when dying. He just wants her to have to come back every 6 weeks😂
No, I grew mine out. I told my hairdresser that hi light my hair then bout it short. I was going to culinary school and knew I live a

Loved your video, first time I’ve stumbled across you. I’ve recently lost all my hair so have a blank canvas and am trying to work out which wig styles and colours suit me best. Feels like I’ve opened up a whole new world of fun!
Love the beard and darker look on you. You look 10 years younger!!! Video is great, thanks.
Justin, “I love it”, the hair on the face brings a natural attractive look to your jaw line, the color and shaping fits your style of outdoor adventures! It fits your personality! Obviously, I’ve been following you for a long time! A loyal FAN from Wisconsin. ❤
I love your facial hair, it looks great! I agree with the tips you mentioned for Christina. I like the warmer blonde and shape up of her cut. The brunette is not a bad option if she wants a real change. Sometimes we need a real change!
I think just the small tweaks on her hair cut made a big difference and giving her some warmer color in her hair made her look better. Great job
I think your beard looks fabulous on your face shape. Very much like the way you styled your hair a little bit more off your face with the beard. Your silvers are a wonderful color on you.
I agree with the changes you proposed, it softens her look too with the darker hair as well as the subtle changes to the style in fact it all looks quite vibrant, 🙃
Your beard looks great on you! Very handsome. And for your model… I like the darker color with the changes in cut as you pointed out. And perhaps a quick tutorial on how to style the cut to get height and volume on top of her head. She’s of course beautiful before any changes. ❤️
The subtle hair cut changes and styling made a difference and she does look more attractive. As far as color , I too like the darker shade but I think I would have kept just. little lighter at the very front. I always do my root color as 7N but bleach highlights and this is so pretty on aging faces. But I am aware it is much more maintenance.
Justin, I absolutely love love love the dark hair. She looks young and vibrant!
Now, here's a question for you: Have you ever thought about doing a Mother/Daughter makeover around Mother's Day? Just a thought... I'm 55 and my Mama is 75. I have 3 kiddos. My oldest daughter is married. My son just got married and my youngest daughter is moving to France. BUT my my is the oldest of 11 children AND she raised us 7 children. She's amazing. She looks great. She's had some health scares recently. I would just love love love for her to look as amazing as she is!!!
You have a great smile
Loved this video, and the facial hair - it works! I have lived in Portland all my life, so I understand that the beard/facial hair experiment hits most men here at some point in their life. While I’m on the heavier side, and my face puffier (is that a way to convey more weight in the face & neck - ha!), than the model here, my hair cut has a lot of similarities. You really helped me understand why my stylist, Nina, cuts the back shorter than I requested. “It’s all about the line, silly!” I’m also going to use the other suggestions, but Nina has my blond color with low lights spot on! Thanks for all the great content you make!!
For you: I love the beard!! For her: I thought the darker color made her look older. So I preferred the blonde color. Was hoping a curveball that added a wispy bang. Look forward to Tuesdays for a new Justin video!!
Same. Would like to see Justin’s rendition with wispy bangs.
Agree, just a little bit of a side-bang.
Amazing how cutting the back impacts Christina’s overall look! Ditto the sides near her temples. At first I liked the brown, but will stay with the blonde color for her.
Justin: I like your beard and like a nicely trimmed beard. Very nice.
Love the beard!!! But love your personality more…. You have a way to teach, talk and make us feel that we all want to have coffee with you!
You look amazing
I really appreciated this and agree that the darker color was a bit too drastic. I Also love your beard, and loved when we/I started trimming my husband’s beard like your current look. Sign me a former hairdresser that worked in the same salon for 36 years & have kept my license for 51 years…
First of all, love the beard! And do I detect a little darker color in your hair as well? As for our beautiful model I like the changes you made bringing the back up and the sides shorter. I would go with the blonde but believe she could benefit with some soft side swept bangs as well 😃
I do like the darker color, but maybe something in betwee. Thanks for the idea of look at our cuts from the side. Hadn't thought of it before.
She’s a pretty lady! She looks really nice with the darker color hair!
Hi! I’m generally not a fan of facial hair, but yours looks like it is the right color and cut for you. I love Christina’s hair color and would also say it would work well going into the gray, especially with the blonde tones. However the darker color helps her to look more vibrant!! The cut you showed improved the look quite well, but how about some layers and product to fluff it up more?
No black shirt today!! I'm so proud of you! And always a fan of good facial hair.
Fringe bangs would help with the rest of your suggestions. It would add a touch of femininity to her style.
love the beard 😊 I like the length being taken off! Is it just me or does Christina remind anyone else of the beautiful Diane Keaton? I would keep the blonde and warm up the tone. the brown made her look older, in my opinion.
I like the darker colour for Christina.
I’d love to see her with wispy bangs. I think that winks soften her look a lot.
You have a great smile . Can we be friends?
I think I would lose the blond, but go with a silvery white with darks to add depth and form. I like the cut as you showed it could be. It looks more polished yet keeps a young sort of wash and wear without fuss look!
Hello 👋 how’re you doing?
Love the beard!! Cutting the back made such a change! I can no longer stand my hair fallen in my face all the time. I do behind the ear alot.
I was expecting you to suggest more height at the top. The shorter sides and back work really well. The warmer blonde color is a pretty color and appeals to me as a blonde myself so I was surprised that I liked the brown more. I think the brown hair brightens her face.
It does, but don't you think it would fit her better if it were blended in to make the blonde look like highlights?
More height at the top is not a thing on the west coast. Speaking from experience. Flat irons were the rage that began here and still are with real people so it’s cultural.
Regional would have been the better word. Not cultural.
@@reddy3400 I so agree with you. Each part of the USA has just different approaches to hair style, color-or-not, and then there is the whole issue of make-up! Would be helpful if Justin would take these various regional aspects as he does these make-overs.
Everything you mentioned changing made a lot of sense. In my opinion the lighter colour hair with a hint of dark looked lovely.
The darker color is marvelous! It not only made her skin tone better, but she lost about 12 years! Great job!
I love the changes and the darker hair color makes her look amazing.
I love the changes to the cut and I love the warmer blonde for Christina. I think the beard looks great on you. I also think you’re wonderfully handsome clean shaven. 😊 Bottom line is do what makes you feel good. Hmmm, where have I heard that before? 🤔
I like all the changes suggested for her cut and style a lot. I think low lights rather than fully darker would be beautiful.
Love the new shape. Interesting that the few changes make such a difference! The blonde would be easier to blend in Christina’s colour as it grows before the next haircut. Love the facial hair 🧔
Hello how’re you doing?
Every time I watch these videos I exclaim, why can't I find a hairdresser that knows this stuff?!
Even when I bring photos for cuts that will work for my texture and have realistic expectations, I never get a cut or style I'm happy with and I'm 60.
Amen to that!
I am sorry to hear that!
Sorry to disagree with you but this guy certainly does not "know his stuff"
All her cut required was shaping into the neck a bit in the back, layering the top to give it body & movement & feathering at the side's & fringe to make the cut lighter & younger. The dark colour was hideous, a warm honey or caramel beige/blonde as a base, cool vanilla highlights throughout with extra added through the whole front section would have had a lifting & brightening effect to her face.
You should find a stylist you like/trust & are happy talking to, have a few trim's/blowouts & treatments with them, get used to how they work & allow them to get to know you & your hair.. when you feel comfortable with them start discussing "new look's", collect pictures of styles you like & talk to them , see what they like/dislike about your choices & together work out what style/colour suit's your face shape/ age & lifestyle
Be prepared to step out of your comfort zone, they may possibly recommend a style that you'd normally not consider but that turns out to be exactly what you need.
Remember hairstylists work in the service industry, they want you to look your best & be happy with their work so SPEAK UP if there's something you're not sure of or happy about 👍👍😘
@@archiesmum8601 guess it shows how bad hairdressers are where I live and I've tried many from cheap to expensive. The most expensive guy was the worst. But I appreciate your advice.
@@archiesmum8601so basically EXACTLY like what he did??? 😂😂😂😂
I like the changes! I like the darker hair too. I love a little more fullness but find it hard with thinning hair, which happens a lot of times as we age, unfortunately!
I like the look of the darker hair, but I think she needs some blonde highlights, especially around her face. It may have been wise to do some lowlights on the blonde hair to start with.
I love my silvering hair! I was born a towhead (white), it turned light brown, then deep auburn. Now in my later years, my silver ‘threads’ literally glisten against the rest, adding dimension better than any expensive salon highlighting could do. The most important part, my hair naturally matches my coloring as time goes by, and actually brightens my profile. Though hyper wavy, I can style it any way. I did start taking Biotin, a vitamin supplement. Now, if I could just figure out how to fight humidity without flattening it all with heavy products!
I like the beard Justin! A new alter-ego for you. I do like her as a blonde, but the darker hair brings out her eyes more. I think shorter pixie length would work very well on her.
I'm a retired stylist, I agree with the improvement with the hct, i think even a "soft" stack in the back would work for even more volume. I would not go Quite that dark...a shade lighter perhaps with some very soft highlights...
Love your new look! Your hair style and love the crisp unshaven look.❤️ (makes you look younger!)
Like all the changes you suggested including the color. I think the color just set her off and it's beautiful on her.
1. The beard is looking really good on you!
2. I really liked the darker color on Christina, she looks more youthful in my opinion.
Like the dark color, adding few highlights. I love the hair new style. She looks very pretty with dark color!
I was just sitting here thinking "Wow, Justin looks exceptionally handsome today. I wonder what's different?" Seems the beard is such a good fit that I didn't even realize that it was new! I say 100% keep it!
Been your friend will make my day
Hi I like the dark color on the last pic. She can also change
her makeup coloring a bit to match her new do & color. She can do that quite inexpensively and look and feel great. Another helpful video as I am older and do wear a pixie and I have been changing it up recently every time I get it cut, (and maybe also in my bathroom with my own scissors) Thanks for all the advice
OMG! I need your advice! I keep sending your videos to my stylist, but I think she is getting irritated with me! You are so detailed and take so much into account when thinking about hair. I’ve never run into anyone who is so considerate of so many things and so knowledgeable, and I modeled for Horst back in the day!
🤣🤣🤣same here 🤣🤣🤣
I ran into the same problem with my stylist…….I asked for something different with more layers…..she kind of went off on me when I told her my hair still looked the same😂😂😂. Needless to say…..I found someone else!
The facial hair is just wonderful !!! I love it.
I am probably in the same age group and have roughly the same color as Christina and similar hairstyle. I feel, for me, and perhaps for Christina, that if she were to go with the darker color but have a few more blonde highlights it may make her more youthful ( I got a lot of compliments when I made this change). I know as we get older, our hair should go lighter however, blonde hair can look lackluster and dry. I am glad that my hair meets the better hair choices, not longer in back or flatness (am a 70s girl, need to have fluffy hair especially since my hair is fine). However, the sides of my style do frame my face a bit and I have a "smaller" face so will explore playing with the sides to pull it off my face more and see how that goes. Thanks.
I love the changes! Interesting how one slight change in the cut can make such a difference. Also, I think the darker looks fantastic.
The beard looks great! What does Dionna think of it?
I like the options you showed and prefer the darker color.
U
I am also mindful of my color choices in my clothing and in my jewelry which I prefer to be golden. There is no much to consider when aging, and I don't mind aging because I am thankful to be able to say I will be 72 next year; I look 10-15 years than my age and it is entirely due to my family genes and yes I will admit, I do excercise, eat healthy, and take care of myself.
I think she might benefit from bangs too light wispy ones that go to the same side as her hair flows
You look adorable, can we be friends
I like the darker version. Adds a depth and warmth to her look.
Thumbs up on your beard! Christina’s hair looks nice with all of the suggested changes including the warmer blonde. Tempted to suggest a modern pixie cut as an alternative.
I love your beard! 🤩
I think I agree with you as far as the liking the blonde better. I like the shorter back as well! Maybe even more of a stacked look in the back for more fullness? Maybe a wispy cut around the ears and some wispy bangs softly on Christina’s forehead….
Though it’s my first time seeing your videos I’m liking the beard. Love the trimming up you did on her and could see the subtle but great changes! I’m preferring the lighter color which is probably transitioning her into her lovely senior years 😉
Can we be friends?
Like the darker...a little shorter..
I would go with a darker shade and lighter strands to put more shine. You were right about the side view, nap looks way better tapered short. Will have to work on my « side view ».
Justin I love your before and after graphics and I love this format! very concise and efficient and interesting more helpful than your outdoors shots even though they were pretty. Bravo👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Nice facial hair. Not too long and not too short. It’s a sophisticated look.
I also like this woman’s blond hair better. The suggestions you gave for the cut made her look so much more attractive!
I’d love to see some stying tips for medium length hair. I just got a cut and it’s the length of a long page boy. I could use some help with styling it. Thanks.
You suggested the same changes I did, but if I were going darker with her color, I would only go very slightly darker. I thought the caramel tint was too dark. It needs to stay brown, but lowlights or reverse streaking might be fun.
I tend to agree with you, I don't care for that brown, maybe a brown with some streaks, but I don't mind the blonde.
I think putting lowlights of the darker color mixed in with the blonde would look great! Then she'll have the warmth she needs as well as the blonde, cool color she loves! ❤️
Hey Jen, you look pretty amazing
@@charlesmorg5677 thank you!
@@jenphythian7681 You are welcome. Can we be friends??
LOVE the beard. 🙂 And the suggestions for Christina. I'd love yo get your opinion on my hair. 🙏
Changes look great- brought cheek bones back. She is fortunate to have any jowls starting so she has really nothing on face to hide with hair. Nice
I do love the new shape! Subtle but so attractive- pretty lady!
She needs volume on the sides and top.
I love your beard! It looks good on you. It makes you look more polished 😀
You are what I call beauty. Can we be friends?
Love the darker brown on her!
When adding low-lights, you went to far on each extreem. I would hit for a blend of the color changes. Otherwise, basically the blond with a little more contrst. 2. I was itiching to get in her hair and fluff it up all over and then smooth it in style. This would give her more feminine and get away from the dowdy plain look. She needs some colored moisture foundation with gently shades of blush. Very suttle. Of course, the gently eye, only a hint, and gently color with lip stain/mat color. Her glasses are plastic and old/heavy on face. She needs a lite weight titaniumn. Maybe a crystal of some type some where on them. I would like to see her as i described and it sould be low-keyed and inexpensive, and sutle.
What do you all think? I believe that all women can be beautiful--no matter what.
Don't underestaemate the value of skin care keeping w-masking, and moisturising daily. Cheer ~~~
Love your advice!
I prefer the blonde. Your changes made a definite difference. I’d also like to see her with wispy bangs. I think that would be a flattering addition & would give a bit more lift to her look.
Can I just mention to all the hairdressers we love you but when we sit in your chair and tell you we don’t know what we want we really don’t know🤷🏼♀️
Such a great point Shelby! This is when the consultation should go a lot deeper. This is when we, as stylists, need to learn what you've had that you liked/disliked, how you style your hair, what you do for work, things you wish your hair would do, struggles you've been having with your hair etc etc etc. This way we can come to a style together that works FOR you as well as looks good ON you.
Like your beard.
Like the shorter back for Christina with the warm blonde. The volume makes a big difference. Makes it look like she has more hair, so more youthful.
Just don’t let it get long keep it short says mom
I like all of your suggestions. When I look at her from the side view, I prefer the blonde. When I look at the front view, I like the darker shade , because it brings out her eyebrows and eyes to me. Maybe darker with hightlights would be nice?
Darker hair looks great and her facial features are popping beautifully with color too now. Overall picture is better.
I like what you did. Thank you so much for the help when I get my hair cut after 2 yrs.
Cut changes are amazing. Like her original color best.
Love your facial hair! Your suggestions are spot-on and I love her in the warm brown.
Would love to see low lights with bangs a bit shorter. Darker root is a must. ✂️😊
Interesting channel of helping viewers understand what is NOT working for them and what might work better. Love it!!! Thumbs up!! And the very short beard is very attractive on you. Keep it!
Stronger +more modern! Inverted Triangle cuts are a MUST for narrow heads. As are Neutral Blondes/Brondes that BALANCE gold/ash to neither wash-out nor ignite into fuschia glow Fair Complexions w/pink undertones. n Well-Groomed facial hair is very attractive esp. w/a modern haircut! 🎯
