Anyone ever stress out cutting the length of the the blunt bang or getting the ends soft enough with out removing the length???? -cut dry to ensure proper length -cut the first section blunt no texture . This will give the bang/fringe strength -taking 1/2 in section drop sections a point cut at a slight diagonal until you get to the final section - final section cut with a parallel point cut. This will ensure your soft blunt fringe has a good line to it..✌🏽 -I use @arcscissors PhantomII.. I have been in the industry 22 years.. they are the best.

Ever have to cut a micro fringe and start to sweat!!!! Here is a fail safe way to end the sweats.. • start on wet hair . Determine the length and cut peaks and valleys. • Take down half inch sections with in your pre determined bang section. Cut those blunt on the top of the peaks. •continue on cutting blunt directly on top of your previously cut sections. •blow dry and detail ✌🏽 I used my @arcscissors PhantomII .. love these shears they cut like butta.... If you need new shears DM for details 🫶🏽. . . . #hair #haircut #haireducation #hairstyles #ruskhaircare #arcpartner #behindthechair #evolove612 #mattswinney

Quick and Easy up style.. -make a high pony -do a 2 strand twist braid . Twisting 1/4 turns in the same direction each time you cross -wrap that braid to a bun - leave out the tail and hit it with you favorite spary.. Mine is @ruskhaircare W8less spray✌🏽 . . . #haireducation #hair #hairstyles #updo #longhairstyles #mattswinney #ruskhaircare #behindthechair #arcpartnership

4 Tips that helped me.. • Other peoples opinions of you are not your problem... •You gotta make peace with your past. No one is perfect. Remove judgement of yourself you remove judgment of others. •You and only you are in charge of your happiness. •Smile once and awhile. You don't own all the worlds problems. Yes we want to help and yes we want to create change but we don't need to carry the weight of the world on our shoulders. ✌🏽 #grow #mindset #selfcare #life #education #mattswinney

Slide cut VS Axis cut.. •Axis cutting is a similar movement to slide cutting. The difference is a slight open and close of the shear. That open and closing of the shear will maintain the integrity of the hair cuticle and ensure a longer lasting more durable texture. •Slide cutting for me is a wet hair texturizing technique. What is the difference between a razor and a slide cut?? The answer not much. Make sure the hair type you choose to slide cut also would have the ability to handle a razor. Slide cutting can be a great technique but the fabric has to match the application!!! •I am using @arcscissors PhantomII they maintain there edge and remove the hair with precision. Nothing beats a shear crafted in Japan w Japanese steel. . . #haircut #hair #haireducation #texture #hairtutorial #behindthechair #ruskhaircare #arcpartner #evolove612 #mattswinney

Touching up some 4 month grown out highlights on my bestie @dana_firekeeper ❤️ I don’t do hair full time anymore since I am educating full time, but when I’m in the salon I have my long time guests who always wait for me. @itsblendxsations did her extensions this time because I had my therapy appointment and I haven’t missed it in 2 years 👀 LOL gotta keep that mental health in check right? Glad to have people like Alexandra at @thenetworksalon who I trust with my gorgeous clients! Today I am playing with Rusk in 10 which I have been loving honestly. I never think to use 10 minute color unless I’m in a bind but I was inspired by my friend @ktbhair who uses it in all of her color services to make them faster without losing quality and longevity. I have to say @ruskhaircare continues to impress me - so much so that I have an announcement coming soon… it’s a pretty big deal for me 🥹 I used 5NN + 7NN equal parts with 20 volume developer 1:1 Deep Shine Ultimate Blonde with 20 volume equal parts 1:1 Rusk Deep Shine Gloss (Clear) for 7 minutes and sent her off to Alexandra to finish up! I hope you like this video and I hope it helps you try some @ruskhaircare - the quality and price point is absolutely amazing, I feel like it’s the only accurately priced color line on the market. We talk a lot about raising your prices but we don’t talk enough about reducing expenses and working to time with salon friendly (fast) techniques that will have our clients spending less time in the salon so they can enjoy their day! One thing I always take pride in is moving quickly and working at an upbeat pace. Hope you have a wonderful weekend ❤️ Also, has anyone listened to 12 Carat Tooth Ache? My favorite songs are Lemon Tree, Waiting for Never and Hateful… and Wrapped Around Your Finger and I Like You… ok so I love basically the entire album and have been listening to nothing else 💀

There is nothing more fun for me then when @kennagraze site in my chair. This haircut uses multiple layering techniques as a base some over direction and personalized texture. •Her hair color is a @ruskhaircare 1BB 10vol for that perfect blue black shine •I use @arcscissors phantom II for this cut . For me they are the perfect wet to dry shear. If you own these there is no need to have shears for wet and shears for dry. This makes the investment so worth it. Dm w questions or for a friends and family code if you are interested 👊🏽 • diagonal short layering on the sides to 1" behind the ear. Off a back center part over direct everything from the back to its respective side point cutting verticals section parallel to the ear. •cut the fringe by doing a deep point cut on you first 1/2" section. Then place the following section on the forehead cutting your blunt fringe along the longest line of the first section you cut( this will give you great texture in the fringe) •take a 1" Mohawk section down the center. Cut to desired length. Then take everything from the parietal up over directing to you Mohawk and point cut away. •take sections straight out from the parietal and connect your sides and top. Ther should be a point to remove. •blowdry and texturize✌🏽 #haireducation #haircut #hair #hairstyle #goodhair #ruskhaircare #behindthechair #arcpartner #evolove612 #mattswinney

Oh your hair is easy you say , you just shave your head psshhh. Shaved head guys need love also! When I shave my head I like to use multiple lengths so it looks like a haircut not juts a buzz job. A nice little fade refines the buzz cut. Yes I know I shouldn't be cutting my own hair I juts can't help it!! I know there are more people who do then care to admit 🤣.. Next time you shave someone's head try giving it juts a little flavor. . . . #haircut #shavedhead #mensgrooming #menshairstyle #haireducation #hairstylist #ruskhaircare #evolove612 #behindthechair #mattswinney

Our relationship with ourselves = our relationship w others. Next time someone gets under your skin or you feel reactive instead of responsive ask your self this. What in my own interpersonal relationship makes me feel X way and watch the healing begin✌🏽. . . . #mindset #motivation #relationship #selflove #awareness #grow #mattswinney

I see a lot about stylist not wanting to take a retouch anymore.. It is an interesting concept considering 💯 of clients get grey over time and not everybody wants highlights or balayage. I understand that time is money and I understand we are in an era of curating our clientele. So what if you could speed up your process time by 25 min. This making the service have a better ROR( rate of return). In this video I used @ruskhaircare in 10 5N equal part 5A with our 10vol universal developer. The client has 35% grey and very stubborn, her and the grey 🤣. I got full grey coverage with 10 min processing time and the appointment lasted 1hr. ROR a big +. As stylist we are continually talking about client loyalty. We tend to take it personal when clients leave for another salon etc. As our clients age we have to remember they deserve our loyalty as well . It is a 2 way street ✌🏽. . . . #haircolor #haireducation #expensivebrunette #brownhair #hairvideo #hairstylist #ruskrevolution #evolove612 #behindthechair #mattswinney The number one selling sku in haircolor across the board is a 6N. To me that says people are needing some grey coverage.

My essentials... @arcscissors & @ruskhaircare styling products. We all have our favorites no doubt. For me it's about integrity, functionality, performance and community. That is what drew me in and now I am hooked!!! . . . #hairstyles #haircut #haireducation #ruskhaircare #hairvideos #goodhair #hairstylist #arcpartner #behindthechair #evolutionmpls #mattswinney
