How To Cut Side Part Layers
Hey Salon Pros, It's Matt Beck here, and I've just dropped a new video that's all about mastering clean, tight sections and achieving the perfect balance or round shape in your haircuts. Whether you're working with long layers or diving into detailed razor work, this tutorial has got you covered. I break down the process of creating three distinct sections for a haircut, highlighting the importance of separating the back from the front to ensure even density and a flawless finish. Learn how to cut a balanced shape by bringing every section straight out to the comb, or opt for round layering to suit your client's density and desired style. This video isn't just about cuts; it's about understanding the structural decisions that make or break a style. From deciding on the layering in the back to adjusting for side partings, I've shared insights that will refine your approach and elevate your craft. And here's a kicker – I introduce the EVO Razor, crafted to fit perfectly in your hand, enabling precision and control as you soften the front of the hair or add those critical air pieces for a lighter, more dynamic look. Don't miss out on this opportunity to enhance your skills and bring fresh techniques to your clients. Watch the video, get inspired, and let's push the boundaries of what we can achieve behind the chair. Happy Cutting, Matt Beck

Flow Pixie Haircut
In the latest video, I dive into the art of creating a stylish and modern pixie haircut with a curtain fringe disconnection. This look isn’t your typical basic haircut; it combines both advanced techniques like disconnection with foundational skills, making it an excellent opportunity for stylists at all levels to learn and refine their craft. The Tools You Need The tool of choice for this haircut is the Evo Razor Pro, a custom-designed razor by Free Salon Education. This razor, made from a durable zinc alloy, is designed with ergonomics in mind, offering a perfect balance and grip that mimics the feel of a scissor. Whether you're cutting with feather blades or the proprietary Evo blades, this tool allows for precise, controlled cutting, especially when working with short hair. The Technique Starting with the fringe, the key is to create a soft, fringy look by gliding the razor gently down the hair, gradually softening the pressure towards the ends. This technique ensures that the hair transitions smoothly from a tight line at the head to a soft, textured edge at the bottom. By working in diagonal back sections and cross-checking with diagonal forward sections, you can maintain consistency while allowing for creative freedom in shaping the hair. As you move towards the back of the head, it's crucial to build a bit of weight around the occipital bone area. This prevents the back from looking too flat and adds dimension to the overall shape. The method here involves shifting from a high elevation, which layers the hair, to a lower elevation as you approach the weight line, ensuring a smooth transition and balanced silhouette. Creative Freedom with the Razor One of the standout features of using the Evo Razor Pro is the ability to create soft, textured layers with ease. Unlike scissors, which can leave blunt lines, the razor allows for in-and-out movement that results in a softer finish, ideal for a more natural and lived-in look. The razor is also perfect for remo
