Women are told short hair is good on older women. I think all the older look like they are wearing curly short helmet like hair. It also looks cookie cutter.
Thank you for all of your videos. I am 64 years old and some of these hair suggestions and results are fascinating to watch.I have just been diagnosed with stage four kidney cancer and spending some time watching your videos is always fun and relaxing. I loved your suggestions for Kevan's hair and would love to see how she looks after she gets it redone. Thank you again for fun videos and if I get brave enough, I would love to have your help with a new style for myself. I hope you have have a wonderful time traveling with your wife in the new van.
I hope to watch the Leonid meteor shower tonight. I'll be thinking of you. I'll tell the shooting stars to swirl around you, delivering wishes for your comfort and well-being, and a friendly hug. 🌟🌌🌠🌟 ~West Virginia.
OMGosh! The same exact thing happened to me one week ago. I asked for shorter bangs and a layer on the side to break up the hanging length. I got many layers, then texturized and then razored! I'm still in shock. I do love your suggestions for Kevan. I hope she can find someone close to your skillful eye to help her carry out her vision.
@@justinhickox It'll be fine... I can see from your videos how important to cut as your growing out. Not sure how I'm going to instruct the person w/ the scissors
@@katy9424you need a new hairdresser 💇♀️ mine moved to the UK & she recorded 2 & I just love the one I chose! She’s excellent at cutting & color & actually better than the hairdresser that left😂
I look forward to your videos each week and always appreciate hearing your lessons. This is the first time I have ever disagreed with you. I think the original style was beautiful and don't care for the new edgy look. Being a good stylist seems like it's a very challenging job. I totally agree with your suggestion to bring pictures. I did that my last haircut and my stylist did a fantastic job and I have never gotten more compliments on a cut. Thanks for sharing all your wisdom! Happy trails.
Love the advice you gave her. We have all suffered through bad cuts. The best thing is hair grows back and can be fixed. Sometimes it feels like forever. I liked the options of the new cut.
Great hair advice! Love the bob cut that can be styled two different ways. Options are always good! Congratulations on the van and safe travels! ❤️🙏🏻❤️
Thank you for addressing hair for the “mature women”. Her hair looked great shoulder length and while may not be her thing but pulling it back in FL when it’s a million degrees is an option. Congrats on your upcoming Nomad life!
I really like how you dissected Kevin’s email and read between the lines in that Kevin may need to communicate with her hair stylist better but also may need to know what she wants better by too. Using your information about how texture and length and not location or season is what she (we) need to convey. Thanks to Kevin for sharing her hair odyssey with us and thank you, Justin, for your videos!!! Have fun on your journeys traveling the US and safe travels!!
WOW!! The decision to let ‘it’ go is incredibly edgy, brave and insanely BRILLIANT ! those who embrace this ‘mindset’, see the lasting importance of how that shift can make space to build deeper relationships and to experience a richer life away from the chaos and clutter of less important things. In my humble opinion , the incredible value of downsizing -whether it be be physically or mentally clears the path to that end. Bravo!🎉
I enjoy watching your videos! I’m regrowing my hair after chemo, and many of your suggestions have been both comforting and empowering. Thank you for taking the time to talk everything through with us!
Congratulations on the van & new views life! My husband & I sold everything in Sept 2020, moved into a 5th wheel RV & truck, & we haven’t looked back! Thank you for your videos & wishing you all the best on the road!
I’m coming up to my 70th birthday and I have lovely glistening silver hair. It’s very straight and thinning with age. I’ve worn a Bob for 50 years with subtle variations. I’d love to see more videos for the baby boomers now in retirement needing less professional and more casual lifestyle
Awesome as always:) I did have a different interpretation of Kevin’s comment about pulling her hair back. It said “it felt too skinny.’ I took that to mean that the ponytail was skinny-not her face. Did I take it the wrong way?
Great question!!! You very well may be correct. This is the tough part about these videos. I don’t get to ask the questions I would in the salon. I’m not sure to be honest.
I thought she meant her ponytail itself wasn't full enough. This wasn't an easy consultation. Sometimes letting it grow back in is the best option, but is certainly when time seems to move very slowly. 😩
Hair is such a personal thing. One thing that seems important for your stylist to know is what you are capable of in maintaining the “look”. If it is a high maintenance style and you don’t have the time, the talent, or the tools…don’t go there. Enjoy your road travels Justin. I Enjoy your videos too.
Nice ride! Love it.. I'm California. I enjoy your videos. I'm a retired Cosmetologist. I still redesign ppl hair in my mind everywhere I go lol. Thanks for making these fun! So important nowadays. Blessings to you & wife. T.C.
I have just discovered your channel and I love it. I spent two years with a stylist that gave a great cut, but never answered my questions or gave suggestions. It was super annoying, so it is awesome that you talk a lot. I learned my lesson. I am now in a new state trying to find a new stylist. I am asking lots of questions and expecting answers. I just keep leaning in. I bring pictures with style ideas and color ideas. I am now on my second stylist. I have an upcoming appointment next month, and I think it will work out fine. She already fixed what went wrong with my last cut. Anyway, I am catching up on your videos and learning a lot. Keep them coming. Oh can you do more videos on bob cuts. Thank you!
You did it!!! You moved into your van! Congratulations! I love your suggestion! The wavy one "almost" with bangs. So young and fresh! When will we see some follow ups with these ladies? That first one was great!
Absolutely! Thank you. Yeah we’re still trying to figure the van out, but we are fully moved in. I would love to do some follow ups, they’re shockingly hard to put together though. Very time consuming. So at some point I’ll definitely do more but it’s gonna be a little bit before I have the time to do it.
Congratulations 🎉 Awesome RV! Perfect for traveling the U.S.A. & beyond. My hubby and I have a Class B Winnebago Travato and love it. Not sure we could go full time, but how wonderful that you’re gonna go for it! Looking forward to watching and hearing about your new adventures. Safe Travels!! 😊
Thank you! It’s definitely got a learning curve! We’re slowly adapting, but I won’t pretend that it’s been super easy lol. Can’t wait to get out and see some incredible places though. We’re going to be sharing more about it on our other channel. What you can find my searching, Dionna and Justin.
Thank you for all the awesome hints. I love that you are starting a new journey in your life and traveling! Congratulations! I wish you lots of safe travels filled with smiles and laughter! Keep these great videos coming! 😊
I have been watching tons of videos on van lifers and van life itself. I like the way you think and cut and style someone's hair with their input as well as your own.
Dang, that van is the cat’s meow! Congrats on living your dream life - that is great! I’m envious and really look forward to your future videos to see your travel progression. As for the suggested style for Kevan, I like the first one a lot: the waved back artsy style. I get the option with a bit of the bangs but am less enthused about it as you were. The versatility of the suggested cut lends itself to these options so I think that is the way to go. Happy and safe travels :-)
Thank you! I really appreciate that. And I totally agree about the style, I think the style back off her face is something that not a lot of people can pull off, but she definitely good!
I love the sophistication of the bob with hair back away from her face. Happy Trails to you and your wife!! My husband and I just bought a B class Travato today. It’s been a dream for over 20 years come true. We won’t be living in it but look forward to many adventures.
Come to Houston!!! It's still 100 degrees here but in October and November, the weather is perfect! Love all today's suggestions especially for talking to your stylist. I've had many bad and over textured/layered looks over the years and wish I would have had your tips back then.
Congrats…so excited for you guys…love your videos!! I’m 61 with fine thin hair and I love all your advice!! Thanks for all you put into these!! Have fun traveling! 😊
A great 👍 solution for Kevan she retains her style but you ad versatility. Wish you were coming to the 🇬🇧 UK .May be a bit far for the van. Safe travels. Helen
Awesome suggestion, I hope she takes it, very versatile and it flaters her head shape more than the other looks, it even short enough to stay cool feeling and long enough to work it into a edgy look sleek look. Congratulation on the RV!, How exciting, I think that just an incredible way to explore and enjoy life journey, wishing you and wifey the best experience on the road, stay safe and blessed!.
I like the hair that you picked out! they both look good. I have never had a bob before and I think maybe someday I will, thanks to you!. Hope you have a super time on the road, I am jealous!
Eee good luck with this new phase of your life! Brilliant. I am currently on a long holiday in Europe in a motorhome with husband and dogs. We are from the UK and have no fixed agenda-it’s generally great. BUT it does have its challenges. Living in each other’s pockets is the main one I think. Make sure you spend some time apart! (Or is that just us?) Re the hair I actually liked how she looked in the pic with the short cut. But yes your suggestion seemed to suit her. Wonder if she can use a blue shampoo without having reaction as that would brighten colour up. Thank you J x
I love the style you chose for her, it looks good with her and I like that the cut has good movement and easy upkeep. That is a great style for me too because when you get older some of us want to keep that sporty hairstyle with movement that we can turn from hiking clothes to dress up for dinner without much effort.
Ha Ha... I thought you were already on the road! I'm outside NYC, so I guess it will be a while before you call me😊... As for Kevan (fellow Jersey girl)... Love the style you came up for her. She can even clip it back for those weather changes and quick to get out the door need she has in Florida... Really pretty woman with great hair... Many lessons learned! Thanks for your letter.
I think the first hairstyle that was Long looked fantastic. I really like the short hair in the car. She looks classy, modern, and just very nice looking. I think you’re right about people having more than one great look. It seems like she’s kind of stuck now in the middle waiting for it to grow out or something. I love the style you offered her and I think she should wear it both ways, slicked back and smooth and straight. Oh how I wish you would come to Cedar Rapids Iowa and do my hair!
Here’s to your new adventures on the road! Since you’re heading east, please come to Denton, TX . I’d love to get an in-person hair consultation from such an insightful talented stylist!
I agree the best thing is to bring pictures. I think that's Icon Accidental at 11:00 and trying to describe that cut without showing it could go so wrong. And I've shown photos to stylists who said my hair can't support the idea I wanted, and I appreciate the honesty instead of trying to force it to happen. Then we work on a modification.
You did it!! Congratulations!! So excited for you as you take on this new adventure. This is a big WOW life moment!! I admire the courage of you and your wife and as always I appreciate your very obvious talent. ENJOY (Still crossing my fingers - and toes - that I will see you when you make it to PA) . Sending all the very best to you both (and to the pooches if they are with you).
You solutions to kevans hair are fabulous. Love the suggested cut. This is another wonderful, informative video. I learn so much from your videos each and every time. And your new van is terrific. Safe travels!
I knew you were with “van!” I have seen you on Instagram or TH-cam! Can’t remember which😳. Anyway, love your advice as usual. Regarding Karan, you’re right, the edgy model does look like her! And, I like your cut and style suggestions for her. I agree the photoshop doesn’t do the style justice. Happy travels!
I like the suggestion with her hair "down". It gives Kevan a fun look that she can play around with. I'm not a fan of messy hair but I do like that she can style it back off her face with the glasses. As for me, I'd be happy with her "before" with the longer hair. Can I show that to my hair stylist when I go for my next cut?
Absolutely! You can definitely show that to your stylist, I would look for some other photos as well that tell more of that story too. The more photos, the better. Things you like, and things you don’t like just to be safe.
Great suggestions as always. I love the versatility of it. I have to laugh at myself. When you said you were going to introduce us to Kevan I thought you were going to show @itskevintheberner! 🤣😍🤣 Love him and Benny! ❤️
I loved your suggestions for Kevan's hair. It was very flattering to her face and overall a good length for her. Can't wait to see what she decides to do.
I hate my hair. Always have. I've brought in pics to stylists, but it never looks the same even though I try to find similar face shapes, texture, etc. Over the years I've answered their assessment questions. My answers are always the same. Their recommendations are always the same: chin or shoulder bob. I get bored with that. The last few years I just say, "Do what you think best." Results are hit or miss. My somewhat wavy hair is now flipping weird and reverts even after curling iron and product. Anyway just want to say congrats on your new lifestyle; sounds fun. I grew up in Portland and reside south of Tucson. Let me be the first to say, "Welcome to Arizona" if you come down this far. Enjoy!
My hair is naturally poker straight and dark ash blonde. I have had my hair permed, layered, same length, short, grown out, long, bleached, coloured, etc. I had a tendency to go in and get it all cut off (usually mid-length to long)every few years in February. It used to give the stylists fits. Some even cried. What I learned through all my years (I'm 51 now) of hair adventures is that it is just hair and it will grow back. Don't mistake me, women are defined by their hair. I had a really hard time when a medication I was taking ended up making big chunks of my hair fall out. It was a hard time. However, hair is just hair and the growing out process should be seen as another opportunity to try something new, in my opinion. Currently, I have a shoulder length, purple shag. I'm still working on breaking in my current stylist. Best of luck to Kevan and to you, Justin and partner with the new adventures.
First video I’ve seen…cool van! Her hair style for that cut looks best away from her face or down….what “she” prefers. If she wants a more shaggy short do, then maybe more texturizing? 🤷🏻♀️ But that might limit her style too just the one don’t know. Good suggestions for her.
Justin, there are just too many stylists out there who are horrible. Photos don't help. Talking doesn't help. They just aren't you! I love that ashy bob you showed. That was adorable! Safe travels! Can't wait for those "unsucky" views.
You are brilliant the way you do your videos. Do you have any videos on calligraphy cuts? I have baby fine, thin hair (age 59) and I've been getting calligraphy cuts for the past year which has really helped me with styling and adding fullness. I used to get my hair cut every 4 weeks but now I go every 8 to 9 weeks.
Love your videos Im 49 from the uk have long fine flat dull hair I don't know how to make it feel or look better and suggestions will be appreciated xx
It will be fun to see you in all the different places, but I will miss the familiar scenery of places I love now that I've moved away from Portland/Vancouver..Steigerwald especially. Bon Voyage
I love your suggestion for Kevan's hair if she is happy to have it off her face. I knew you had plans for vanlife, just didn't know when you were doing it, how exciting, although how you are going to fit your huge dog in as well will be interesting. What would be fabulous is if if you could meet up with some of your viewers on your travels and re-style their hair for us to see. A bit like what you are already doing here in your channel but in real life. That would be awesome to see the transformations live on your channel. Won't apply for me sadly as I live in London UK, but it would make great content and I'm sure subscribers would be up for the chance to have someone like you re-style their hair as aso many of us struggle to find good stylists who understand their clients wants/needs.
Retired barber here. When my youngest daughter was in high school , she wanted to go from long to short. I took about 3 hours cutting her hair a bit at a time and assessing how she felt about each stage of shortness . She was fine with it and we finally got to short- which she loved. We also colored it from medium brown to red. She was at that stage of life that she needed a total makeover! That was years ago and she still keeps it red. The short was just what she needed at the time, tho she wears it long now, which we both prefer. ( normal haircut usually took about 20 minutes)
Love a cut that delivers multiple styling options. The versatility doesn’t lock us into one look. Nice! Happy trails on your van journey. Will you eventually return to Portland? I hope you kept your cool loft!
wowowow! Justin! What a fun surprise. I thought I may have gotten a response via email for some clarification before you dove in. First I want to compliment you on your superior communication skills. You read between the lines of my brief email and heard me! Despite showing my stylists my Pinterest collections of cuts that I like and showing an album of my previous styles over the years and most recent bad cuts, I have not been successful in communicating, OR they have not had the skills to deliver. I recently had another cut since the purple -shirt,- Kevan-Now, pictures. It is much better. The top was kept long, the right side was properly textured and made piece-y. The left side tucked behind my ear, and the lower back tight and the top back a bit longer and combed into a duck point. The sides are long enough that with a little blow dry and round brush it can be made a bit rounder and dressier. I do like your off the face soft look. A bit of height and volume is good. It is most interesting to me what you said about many good options, not one good look. I want to hear language like I am used to from my fashion background, like because she has a short neck, V necks are better than jewel necklines. Because she is short waisted a dress without a waist seam is more flattering than one with a peplum. So that I can best chose a style, I would like to know what you see. I see a short forehead, recession that can be disguised, fine straight hair, thin at hairline but thick at a W neckline. LOL, I guess I chose a good edgy look! That lady,, who you think looks like me, is called the Accidental Icon. Look her up. She has a small build, small face and rockin hot clothes/image. She teaches at Hunter college and lives in NYC. I will send an email of my recent cut. Big hug and thanks. And happy trails!
I love your videos with many thanks. I’ve just turned 70 was away in France and got a haircut because of the high heat……OOPS! It will take all of our summer in Australia to grow out, gone from thick thick hair to now feeling like I don’t have any🥲🥴
Kevan would look stunning in the swept-back look! It would achieve the edgy, artist vibe. Congratulations on your new adventure and lifestyle. Your house may be small, but you have the whole world as your backyard.
I'm in south FL, and I totally get the heat and humidity thing. Two showers a day is normal here, especially in the summer months! I have baby fine here, and that means frizz. Frizz means lots of products to control things. That's not me at all. I'm a wash and go girl. Its my lifestyle too. Not much time to spend on me. I get the short haircut. I personally don't like short hair on me either. It is cooler to have less hair, and faster to take care of. I do the bob in various lengths because part of year I can wear it down, but life demands during certain times of year means pony tails for me. I'm a mom with lots of outdoor activities going on depending on the season. So, I'm thinking that the bob for her is the way to go. She doesn't seem to have a fast paced life. So styling it back like you showed instead of a pony tail would work for her, and wearing it down makes it look like she has plenty of hair.
Personally, her hair looked so beautiful and more youthful with her original long hair.
Right! But I do like the styling selection of the Bob that curls under. My hairdresser has done this to my hair & I love it!
i agree
Women are told short hair is good on older women. I think all the older look like they are wearing curly short helmet like hair. It also looks cookie cutter.
I like the longer better. She looked wonderful. Now she looks old and boring.

Too sorry you are moving out of the PNW. Just when I need a new stylist. Any suggestions on how to find one?
I truly love your enthusiasm not just about hair but in life generally...
Thank you! I truly appreciate that. I’m pretty fortunate, so I don’t have much to complain about!
Looks great on her. I prefer the longer bang, straighter look. Very nice for her.
OMGosh! The same exact thing happened to me one week ago. I asked for shorter bangs and a layer on the side to break up the hanging length. I got many layers, then texturized and then razored! I'm still in shock.
I do love your suggestions for Kevan. I hope she can find someone close to your skillful eye to help her carry out her vision.
Sorry to hear that! Unfortunately, it’s more common than we might expect. I hope everything gets figured out for you soon.
That's why bringing photos of what you want and don't want is so important. Words don't always convey the look. At least hair grows back.

Congratulation on the RV!, How exciting, I think that just an incredible way to explore and enjoy life journey, wishing you and wifey the best experience on the road, stay safe and blessed!.
I think you are right on target. Love the new look.
I like the hair that you picked out! they both look good. I have never had a bob before and I think maybe someday I will, thanks to you!. Hope you have a super time on the road, I am jealous!
Eee good luck with this new phase of your life! Brilliant. I am currently on a long holiday in Europe in a motorhome with husband and dogs. We are from the UK and have no fixed agenda-it’s generally great. BUT it does have its challenges. Living in each other’s pockets is the main one I think. Make sure you spend some time apart! (Or is that just us?)
Re the hair I actually liked how she looked in the pic with the short cut. But yes your suggestion seemed to suit her. Wonder if she can use a blue shampoo without having reaction as that would brighten colour up. Thank you J x
I like the swept back best for an artist. Maybe even Edgyier at the back too
Love the suggestions on the first cut! I think Kevan would look amazing!!
Thank you! I totally agree.
@@justinhickox You're welcome!!
Beautiful Van!! Safe travels. Thank you for all your wisdom and tips!!❤
I love the style you chose for her, it looks good with her and I like that the cut has good movement and easy upkeep. That is a great style for me too because when you get older some of us want to keep that sporty hairstyle with movement that we can turn from hiking clothes to dress up for dinner without much effort.
Ha Ha... I thought you were already on the road! I'm outside NYC, so I guess it will be a while before you call me😊... As for Kevan (fellow Jersey girl)... Love the style you came up for her. She can even clip it back for those weather changes and quick to get out the door need she has in Florida... Really pretty woman with great hair... Many lessons learned! Thanks for your letter.
Ha ha, not quite yet. We are just beginning our van life travels! Glad you liked the ideas. I totally agree with you!
Great look for Kevan 👏🏼. Congratulations on your newest adventure 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I think the first hairstyle that was Long looked fantastic. I really like the short hair in the car. She looks classy, modern, and just very nice looking. I think you’re right about people having more than one great look. It seems like she’s kind of stuck now in the middle waiting for it to grow out or something. I love the style you offered her and I think she should wear it both ways, slicked back and smooth and straight. Oh how I wish you would come to Cedar Rapids Iowa and do my hair!
Here’s to your new adventures on the road! Since you’re heading east, please come to Denton, TX . I’d love to get an in-person hair consultation from such an insightful talented stylist!
I like both of the very last photos you showed. Great video👏👏👏
YEP…great look for Kevan!!🌷
I agree the best thing is to bring pictures. I think that's Icon Accidental at 11:00 and trying to describe that cut without showing it could go so wrong. And I've shown photos to stylists who said my hair can't support the idea I wanted, and I appreciate the honesty instead of trying to force it to happen. Then we work on a modification.
I love the short pulled back but stylish look on her! I need bangs but she could totally Rick that!
Congratulations on the new home! Safe travels and have lots of fun!
You did it!! Congratulations!!
So excited for you as you take on this new adventure. This is a big WOW life moment!! I admire the courage of you and your wife and as always I appreciate your very obvious talent. ENJOY (Still crossing my fingers - and toes - that I will see you when you make it to PA) . Sending all the very best to you both (and to the pooches if they are with you).
You solutions to kevans hair are fabulous. Love the suggested cut. This is another wonderful, informative video. I learn so much from your videos each and every time. And your new van is terrific. Safe travels!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that. It’s great to hear!
I knew you were with “van!” I have seen you on Instagram or TH-cam! Can’t remember which😳. Anyway, love your advice as usual. Regarding Karan, you’re right, the edgy model does look like her! And, I like your cut and style suggestions for her. I agree the photoshop doesn’t do the style justice. Happy travels!
Great advice! I prefer the first cut and first two options over the third. Happy and safe travels!
I liked the short Bob plus when it was styled off her face with the cool glasses. Anxious to travel with you!
Love the versatility of that haircut!
How fun for you guys! I wish you many happy adventures and safe journeys!
I like the suggestion with her hair "down". It gives Kevan a fun look that she can play around with. I'm not a fan of messy hair but I do like that she can style it back off her face with the glasses. As for me, I'd be happy with her "before" with the longer hair. Can I show that to my hair stylist when I go for my next cut?
Absolutely! You can definitely show that to your stylist, I would look for some other photos as well that tell more of that story too. The more photos, the better. Things you like, and things you don’t like just to be safe.
Great suggestions as always. I love the versatility of it.
I have to laugh at myself. When you said you were going to introduce us to Kevan I thought you were going to show @itskevintheberner! 🤣😍🤣
Love him and Benny! ❤️
How cool to get to travel the U.S.
Looking forward to seeing more places and always enjoy your videos and ideas
Be safe
I think that is a really pretty cut and style you chose for her to consider.
I loved your suggestions for Kevan's hair. It was very flattering to her face and overall a good length for her. Can't wait to see what she decides to do.
That view doesn’t “suck”! 😂. So awesome that you’re living life and enjoying it! ❤️
I hate my hair. Always have. I've brought in pics to stylists, but it never looks the same even though I try to find similar face shapes, texture, etc. Over the years I've answered their assessment questions. My answers are always the same. Their recommendations are always the same: chin or shoulder bob. I get bored with that. The last few years I just say, "Do what you think best." Results are hit or miss. My somewhat wavy hair is now flipping weird and reverts even after curling iron and product. Anyway just want to say congrats on your new lifestyle; sounds fun. I grew up in Portland and reside south of Tucson. Let me be the first to say, "Welcome to Arizona" if you come down this far. Enjoy!
My hair is naturally poker straight and dark ash blonde. I have had my hair permed, layered, same length, short, grown out, long, bleached, coloured, etc. I had a tendency to go in and get it all cut off (usually mid-length to long)every few years in February. It used to give the stylists fits. Some even cried. What I learned through all my years (I'm 51 now) of hair adventures is that it is just hair and it will grow back. Don't mistake me, women are defined by their hair. I had a really hard time when a medication I was taking ended up making big chunks of my hair fall out. It was a hard time. However, hair is just hair and the growing out process should be seen as another opportunity to try something new, in my opinion.
Currently, I have a shoulder length, purple shag. I'm still working on breaking in my current stylist. Best of luck to Kevan and to you, Justin and partner with the new adventures.
Love your van/house!!!
Hope y’all come to TN
You and your wife will love Fall Creek Falls🦌
First video I’ve seen…cool van!
Her hair style for that cut looks best away from her face or down….what “she” prefers.
If she wants a more shaggy short do, then maybe more texturizing? 🤷🏻♀️ But that might limit her style too just the one don’t know.
Good suggestions for her.
All my favorite sounds in the background. I miss the Cardinal song ever since I returned to California. And the train whistle was a treat too.
Justin, there are just too many stylists out there who are horrible. Photos don't help. Talking doesn't help. They just aren't you!
I love that ashy bob you showed. That was adorable!
Safe travels! Can't wait for those "unsucky" views.
Nice surprise! Beat of luck in your new home!!
You are brilliant the way you do your videos. Do you have any videos on calligraphy cuts? I have baby fine, thin hair (age 59) and I've been getting calligraphy cuts for the past year which has really helped me with styling and adding fullness. I used to get my hair cut every 4 weeks but now I go every 8 to 9 weeks.
Love u love this channel and all your content! Can you do a video on how to ind a good stylist, I never can find one :( lots of bad cuts ✂️
how about a Pixie cut with a slight undercut? I like her with a partial cut, it brings out her face and eyes. JS. Love the van and the travel plans!
Great video, as always. Good luck on your travels; what a top idea!
Nice van, very nice. :) Loved your suggested haircut for Kevan.
Thank you so much! It’s definitely a bit of a monster! Lol and I love that you liked the suggestions! Appreciate the feedback.
I just found you. I'm a curly girl with fine texture. Can't wait to see what you recommend! I love your over explaining!
I love your personality, you seem a nice person to live with😊
You’re way too kind! I think my wife would agree and disagree! Lol. I’m sure I have my moments! Lol.
Great ideas! I would add some more significant/edgy glasses and the style would fit perfectly to that beautyful and interesting woman.
Love your videos Im 49 from the uk have long fine flat dull hair I don't know how to make it feel or look better and suggestions will be appreciated xx
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that.
I so enjoy following your van life on IG. Dionne and the pups make my day!
I like the hair style recommended. I like how it has a circular back (from the side view).
It will be fun to see you in all the different places, but I will miss the familiar scenery of places I love now that I've moved away from Portland/Vancouver..Steigerwald especially. Bon Voyage
I love your suggestion for Kevan's hair if she is happy to have it off her face.
I knew you had plans for vanlife, just didn't know when you were doing it, how exciting, although how you are going to fit your huge dog in as well will be interesting.
What would be fabulous is if if you could meet up with some of your viewers on your travels and re-style their hair for us to see. A bit like what you are already doing here in your channel but in real life. That would be awesome to see the transformations live on your channel.
Won't apply for me sadly as I live in London UK, but it would make great content and I'm sure subscribers would be up for the chance to have someone like you re-style their hair as aso many of us struggle to find good stylists who understand their clients wants/needs.
Retired barber here. When my youngest daughter was in high school , she wanted to go from long to short. I took about 3 hours cutting her hair a bit at a time and assessing how she felt about each stage of shortness . She was fine with it and we finally got to short- which she loved. We also colored it from medium brown to red. She was at that stage of life that she needed a total makeover! That was years ago and she still keeps it red. The short was just what she needed at the time, tho she wears it long now, which we both prefer. ( normal haircut usually took about 20 minutes)
Congratulations! Awesome video as always
Love the look you found for her!
Good for y'all! Travel to FL and style my hair! ❤️😂
Make it to Rayne Louisiana! I need you! Love your videos.
Congrats on the van-life you two are going to have a blast stay safe out there 👏👏🎉
You are RIGHT about the cut!
Love a cut that delivers multiple styling options. The versatility doesn’t lock us into one look. Nice! Happy trails on your van journey. Will you eventually return to Portland? I hope you kept your cool loft!
wowowow! Justin! What a fun surprise. I thought I may have gotten a response via email for some clarification before you dove in. First I want to compliment you on your superior communication skills. You read between the lines of my brief email and heard me! Despite showing my stylists my Pinterest collections of cuts that I like and showing an album of my previous styles over the years and most recent bad cuts, I have not been successful in communicating, OR they have not had the skills to deliver. I recently had another cut since the purple -shirt,- Kevan-Now, pictures. It is much better. The top was kept long, the right side was properly textured and made piece-y. The left side tucked behind my ear, and the lower back tight and the top back a bit longer and combed into a duck point. The sides are long enough that with a little blow dry and round brush it can be made a bit rounder and dressier. I do like your off the face soft look. A bit of height and volume is good. It is most interesting to me what you said about many good options, not one good look. I want to hear language like I am used to from my fashion background, like because she has a short neck, V necks are better than jewel necklines. Because she is short waisted a dress without a waist seam is more flattering than one with a peplum. So that I can best chose a style, I would like to know what you see. I see a short forehead, recession that can be disguised, fine straight hair, thin at hairline but thick at a W neckline. LOL, I guess I chose a good edgy look! That lady,, who you think looks like me, is called the Accidental Icon. Look her up. She has a small build, small face and rockin hot clothes/image. She teaches at Hunter college and lives in NYC. I will send an email of my recent cut. Big hug and thanks. And happy trails!
I love your videos with many thanks. I’ve just turned 70 was away in France and got a haircut because of the high heat……OOPS! It will take all of our summer in Australia to grow out, gone from thick thick hair to now feeling like I don’t have any🥲🥴
Kevan would look stunning in the swept-back look! It would achieve the edgy, artist vibe. Congratulations on your new adventure and lifestyle. Your house may be small, but you have the whole world as your backyard.
I love the bob on her!! Beautiful ❤️
I appreciate the feedback! I think she could do a lot with a shape like that as well!
I'm in south FL, and I totally get the heat and humidity thing. Two showers a day is normal here, especially in the summer months! I have baby fine here, and that means frizz. Frizz means lots of products to control things. That's not me at all. I'm a wash and go girl. Its my lifestyle too. Not much time to spend on me. I get the short haircut. I personally don't like short hair on me either. It is cooler to have less hair, and faster to take care of. I do the bob in various lengths because part of year I can wear it down, but life demands during certain times of year means pony tails for me. I'm a mom with lots of outdoor activities going on depending on the season. So, I'm thinking that the bob for her is the way to go. She doesn't seem to have a fast paced life. So styling it back like you showed instead of a pony tail would work for her, and wearing it down makes it look like she has plenty of hair.
Try a boar bristle at night 100 strokes to spread the oil. Its amazing. Keep in mind it not a brush per se but a conditioning tool.
