Step 1
Begin the haircut on the right hand side. Take a diagonal section from the recession to just in front of the ear. Use even tension, over direction and pull the hair forwards and up, angling your fingers towards the hairline and cut a line from short to long.
Notice Stacey chooses to stand on the left of the model whilst executing his right hand side.
