The clipper-over-comb cutting technique is good for sides/sideburns and the bottom area of the haircut by the neck. There are some general guidelines to follow..
Step 1
The hair must be dry because wet hair clumps and therefore won’t get cut evenly by the clipper blades. Do the clipper-over-comb technique at the end of the haircut. When you start cutting at the beginning of the haircut, the hair needs to be damp. However by the time you’ve finished the outline and the top ½ of the head, the bottom should be dry enough to cut with the clippers.
#
Step 2
Hold your comb in your less dominant hand (left) and lift vertical sections of hair at a 90° angle (straight out) from the scalp.
#
Step 3
With your clipper in your dominant hand (right), start at the bottom of the section of hair protruding between the teeth of your comb. Move your clipper up your comb, cutting off any hairs that stick past your comb.
#
Step 4
If you want to taper the hair with the bottom being the shortest and having the top of the section you are cutting to be longer, you’ll need to angle your comb. When you lift out vertical sections of hair, have one end of the comb close to the head and angle the other end out. Hold it at the angle that makes most sense for the haircut you’re giving.
#
Step 5
Keep cutting in vertical sections around the head. Work from the bottom of the hairline, going up until you reach the bottom of the hair that is already cut at the top of your head.
#
Step 6
With this technique, your comb has the most important role because it determines how much hair you are going to cut off. Hold the comb steady as you are cutting to avoid any unevenness.
#
Step 7
Use hair that you’ve already cut to act as a guide for how you hold your comb. Picking up some hair that’s already been cut along with some uncut hair helps you to see how to hold your comb for the next cut. Be careful with the first cut you make since you have no guide for it. Be conservative with how much you cut off the first cut. You can always go back and cut off more if needed.

I get a TON of questions from students who ask me what it takes to get a lucrative job in the hairstylist industry.
I always tell them it starts with the proper hair stylist education!
In order to stay on top of the trends and emerging styles, one must always be investing in themselves and always advancing their education both as a hairstylist, or if wanting to enter the hair stylist field.
However, if freelancing and styling the hair of stars is your thing, then you *MUST* watch the video I have prepared for you this week with celebrity hait stylist to the stars, Diana Schmidtke.
To learn the exact hair stylist education formula Diana uses to attract high profile clients such as Will Farrell, Ashton Kutcher, Vin Diesel, Jonathan Reese Meyers, Harrison Ford, and George Clooney, don’t waste another minute and check out this video right away.
Diana’s story is very inspirational and heartfelt, but her success didn’t happen overnight. In fact it was a long journey full of hair stylist education, trials and tribulations.
To discover the most important tool that any freelance hairstylist ABSOLUTELY needs to have, check out the video.

Coloring and foiling hair seems like a pretty daunting task, but our friend Fernando Guzman from Studio 38 gives you his tips of making is simple and easy.
Check out the video on how to foil hair and his cool multi-color hair coloring techniques on a modern Bob Haircut.
For more tips of how to foil hair and separate when coloring, follow these great tips:
Tip #1
Find the client’s normal hair part. Comb the hair so it falls naturally.
Tip #2
Decide if you’re doing thin, natural-looking highlights or chunky highlights. This will determine how much hair you foil. Run the pointy end of a fine-tooth comb across the hair, separating a small section.
Tip #3
Hold the hair in one hand while you weave the pointy end through the hair. This will separate the hair you want to foil. If the person wants natural looking foils, weave it tightly, choosing only a few hairs at a time. For chunky highlights, allow for greater distance as you weave the comb.
Tip #4
Fold the top inch of the foil paper underneath. Place the pointy end of your comb into that fold. Hold the foil tightly under the hair you are going to color.
Tip #5
Remove the comb and hold the foil tightly into place with one hand. It should be flat against the head. Dip the applicator brush into the color solution.
Tip #6
Brush the color onto the hair. Get as much of the root as possible. Once all the hair is saturated, fold the foil up until it covers all of the colored hair.
Tip #7
Continue the process, moving from one section to the next, until all the desired hair is wrapped in foil.

Hair Coloring is a something that a lot of people attempt themselves, and quite often the results are not as expected. Then they freak out and demand a Hair Color Correction immediately from their stylists. Worse yet, some try and correct the hair color themselves and make it even worse.
Here are some hair color correction techniques for fixing a home coloring disaster. But first and foremost, when this happens, leave the Hair Color Correction to the pros and your stylist!
If you have made one of the most common mistakes made by people who color their hair at home is to make the problem worse by applying the wrong color to correct the hair color and their first mistake. For example: Have you ever colored your hair and ended up with a color that is too red or brassy? The hair color correction problem that many do is that people try to pull the red color out by lightening their hair. This only causes more problems and more brassiness. Other people try to darken their hair again only to have it turn too dark. Both of these approaches are wrong and you will understand why with a quick course in color correction.

If you have taken the plunge and gone with a permanent color or a strong semipermanent, but it’s just not what you pictured. If you had it done at a salon, any good professional will be happy to adjust it if you’re not completely satisfied. (Of course, you might want to think twice about returning to a person who botched the job in the first place.)
If you just can’t live with it at all, a colorist can use a color remover to lighten your hair, but you run the risk of further damage and a brassy look and you’ll probably have to dye it yet again. (There are color removers available in drugstores, but this process is best left to the pros.) If you’ve used a gentle semipermanent color, most of it will eventually wash out — just keep shampooing. In any event, time and a haircut may be your best bets.
