The BEST Self-Haircut Tutorial 2020 | How To Cut Your Own Hair

If you’re new to my channel, my name is Alex Kouras. I started cutting my own hair when I was 13, back in 2008. This was during the Windows 99 era—dial-up internet, when YouTube was a dating site, and the global economy got slapped. Hard. Because of it, my mom lost her job for nearly three years, and during that time, my dad had to support her, me, and my two brothers all on his own.

I started cutting my hair as a way to help my family save money because I was tired of hearing my parents argue about finances and wanted to do something to make things easier for them. After getting a few bad haircuts at Supercuts, I knew this was the best way I could help.

With that being said, this channel does not do my past any justice. I wish I could have recorded my first handful of self-haircuts so you could see just how garbage they were. I got made fun of a lot because of it in middle school—even by some of the moms from the kids on my soccer team! Rightfully so... They were pretty bad.

Now, over 15 years later, I share content that teaches millions of people every month in more than 165 countries how to save time and money by mastering self-haircuts from the comfort of your own home. It’s not a hard skill to learn, but like anything in life, if you make it a priority and stay committed, you can succeed without letting the tough times make you quit.

I had every reason to quit when I got started. No money. No mentor. No YouTube. No clippers, only a $20 Remington beard trimmer. I was literally just a little kid who cared way more about my family's well-being than any bit of harsh criticism I could get as a result. Times have changed since 2008 and you now have an opportunity of a lifetime with my channel.

Please know, I’m here to help you on your self-haircut journey in any way I can. Self-haircuts are fun, an awesome skill to have, and the best way to avoid ever paying for a barber again!

W.t.f this guy cuts his own hair better then my local shop

[johnallen]

Hi Alex,
I just did my second haircut with my new clippers. Had never cut my own hair until now. Your video gave me a lot of confidence that I could do it my self! The first hair cut I said to my self, this is a better haircut than I get at a salon. The second time, I realized that it's best to go slow, go steady, stay calm. It's another great haircut. I'm not getting my hair cut done by anyone else again.

I tried this. Somehow I ended up fading my eyebrow. I’m glad we’re quarantined

During corona I learnt to cut my own hair and yes now I'm near perfect in cutting them.
Pandemic taught us a lot. 😄

Watching someone cut their hair is really satisfying. Like those cake decorating videos.

[bradymaiello]

Watched the whole thing just to decide that I’m not going to cut my hair

[neveralne]

Gave myself a fade using these instructions...ended up going outside wearing a hat + a hoodie + N95 Mask + Sunglasses. Cheers.

Hands down the BEST "how to" video for beginners. Only took me 5 hours (seriously, take your time), but I gotta say I'm pretty satisfied with my first go at it. Thank you many times over brother!! This quarantine stuff is crazy, but learning new skills that will go a long way after this is all over = priceless.

[MrSkfk]

I’ve been cutting my hair since I was 13 I’m 34 .. and I think this guy did a pretty good job explaining to anyone who has never cut their own hair

[SilencetheFear]

Dude cut his own hair better than I’ve ever gotten my hair cut at any barbershop

[lucifermorningstar]

Dude, this is awesome, well done. I’ll be trying to do mine tonight, wish me luck bro!

UPDATE - it actually went ok although I could not do the top bit like you did so I left it. It took ages to grab the hair between my fingers and then I could see what I was doing due to my hand being in the way 😂

All in all the haircut took me 3 hours but it looks good 👌
