There are more hybrid cuts now than ever before and one of the more popular ones is the Mod Bixie - a blend of a pixie and modern bob. Watch Jorge Perez, Sam Villa Ambassador and owner of Hair Lab Studio 407 (Puerto Rico)@jorgedoeshair, demonstrate how to section for seamless silhouette shifts, interpret face shapes and create voluminous movement without sacrificing length in his rendition of the Mod Bixie here. It’s the perfect transitional cut for when a guest is growing out a regular pixie and the nape area gets too thick and starts to look like a mullet.
“I prefer to cut hair wet, but I did a test on this style, and it actually worked better dry,” explains Perez. “You can’t do the same thing all the time, you have to explore…knowledge is power! As Sam Villa says, knowing how to do something many different ways is what breeds mastery.”
Perez is bi-lingual and offers tips in both English and Spanish.
Use the wide teeth of cutting comb in certain sections to better read the fall of the hair and the finer teeth for sections that need more tension.
Clips are a life saver when dry cutting because they help organize hair and allow for extreme precision when cutting and designing a shape.
Nape: To remove unwanted bulk at the nape, elevate sections 45° and point cut with the Sam Villa Classic Series Shear to create roundness. “I’m a south paw, and this dry cutting shear comes in a lefty version, so I love them!” says Perez.
Sides: Take diagonal back sections on the sides with the fine teeth of a comb (for more tension), match to guidelines at back and point cut away from the body to blend and shape. The over direction creates the shape and the point cutting creates the softness.
Top: Create a top center section, elevate 90° from base of head and match to back guide. Moving outwards and from the bottom up, slide the shears a bit to point cut the section to create softness.
Utilizar los dientes anchos del peine de corte en ciertas secciones para ver mejor la caída del cabello y los dientes más finos para las secciones que necesitan más tensión.
Los “clips” son unos salvavidas cuando se corta en cabello seco, nos ayudan a organizar el cabello mejor y nos permiten una precisión extrema al cortar y diseñar un corte en cabello seco.
NUCA: Para eliminar peso no deseado en la nuca, eleva las secciones 45 ° y haces point cutting con la tijera de Sam Villa Classic Series para crear una redondez. “Soy izquierdo, y esta tijeras de corte en seco viene en una versión zurda , ¡así que los amo!” dice Pérez.
LADOS: Tome una secciones diagonal hacia atrás en los lados con los dientes finos de un peine (para más tensión), busque su línea guía en la parte posterior y haces point cutting para igualar la formar. La sobre dirección crea la forma y el point cutting crea la suavidad.
TOPE: Cree una sección central en el área superior, Eleve a 90 ° desde la base de la cabeza y la conectas a la parte posterior. Moviéndose hacia afuera y desde abajo hacia arriba, deslice las tijeras un poco en las sección para crear suavidad.
