After doing hair for over 50 years (and cutting the shag since the 70s) I've learned through my customers that the "old school shag is still the favorite shag'- - yes it appears the "wolf cut" and the "butterfly" cut is being sold as the "new modern shag"- - - - the "Pixi" is a short shag... which can & will grow into a "medium shag" (above the shoulders) & eventually becomes a "long shag" if no other cuts are given. If a person has hair down to their knees & wants a long shag without losing ANY length- it is easily done by over directing the guideline that was made at the beginning of the haircut- that guideline is ALWAYS made in the front using the eyebrows/eyes/nose to determine the desired "1st layer" after that it is "1 inch sections overdirected" down the entire head - when that is done you do the same thing (using the existing guideline in the front) on the sides of the head to maintain the same length- at the end of the cut you "frame" the face & "round off the bottom" in the back- the end result should always be the ability to see the lines in the hair as you comb it backwards.
The biggest mistake I've seen when doing repair work on layers is the previous stylist did not do any sectioning & clearly just picked up random pieces of hair- cut it... and called it layers. #hairstyle #haircuts #70sShag #farrahfawcett #HairstylsByMissRubyTuesday

Hairstyles By Miss Ruby Tuesday- Mullet Shag Bi level Cut
This is what is known as a "Bi-Level" haircut- aka "The Mullet" - it is a combination of 2 haircuts blended as 1 - the mullet became popular in the 80s due to a lot of men who held down jobs that required short hair (working at a bank or in the office) - yet they were also moonlighting (holding down other jobs at night) as entertainers/musicians - so the Bi-Level haircut allowed them to have the short haircut look as long as they put the rest of it in a rubberband & rolled it under secured it with a bobby pin- & when they got off work to head to their rock & roll job /club scene- all they had to do was take out the rubberband. - hence the saying- "Business in the Front- Party In The Back" - eventually- the ladies also enjoyed the mullet as they discovered they didn't have to tuck their hair behind their ears & they could show off their earrings :-D #StuckInThe80s #Mullets #HairstylesByMissRubyTuesday

Hairstyles By Miss Ruby Tuesday- Giving A Haircut Using Coronavirus Guid...
ok- now that the hair industry is required to operate under new guidelines due to the coronavirus pandemic- I called a client to use for a model to show what is entailed - taking the temp & forcing the stylist & clients to wear a mask.... the mask presents many potential issues for the customer- including hair falling into the mask while the haircut is being given.

Hairstyles By Miss Ruby Tuesday- Getting Ready To Go Back To Work!
ok- after being forced to be unemployed for over 12 weeks... due to the coronavirus pandemic- hair salons have finally been given the "green light" to resume work... but- it is more like a yellow light... as we are now required to treat our customers as if they are patients with the plague!- seriously- forcing the client to wear a mask (for their protection) will actually create a different headache- hair will fall inside the mask during a haircut...
