Transcript
00:00I'm a little nervous to cut my hair because you just like don't know how it's going to
00:05turn out.
00:06So you can have this vision in your mind of what it's going to look like and then maybe
00:10it's not what you think it's going to be.
00:12Oh my gosh.
00:15Hi, I'm Ellen and today I'm going to get a Kendall Jenner inspired haircut.
00:20I'm so excited because today I'm going to be getting my haircut by Justine Marjon.
00:24I really love Lana Condor and like Kendall Jenner's hair when it's really short and I
00:29love that like choppy wavy kind of like sexy wild hair.
00:33Currently my hair is very, very long and it takes a lot of time to style.
00:38So it kind of doesn't make me feel that great.
00:40I think a lot of people see long hair and think it's amazing and beautiful, but it's just
00:44a lot of time and energy.
00:46It doesn't have layers, so it doesn't really feel styled.
00:48I kind of have just let it go and I'm ready for a refresh.
00:52So I'm really excited to get my hair chopped really high up like a long bob.
00:57A couple of years ago my hair was actually this length and I decided to chop it all off.
01:02I loved it.
01:03It looked so good.
01:04I had a lot of really great positive things happen after that haircut.
01:07I actually wound up getting a new job in fashion, met my future boss that exact same
01:12day and within three weeks I had broke my lease and moved to New York City.
01:16I really couldn't believe how fast my life changed immediately after that haircut.
01:21I'm really excited for a new chapter so let's see what happens when I chop my hair off again.
01:29Hi, it's Justine Marjon.
01:31I am here with Ellen and we are about to give her a big haircut.
01:34I want a fun wavy bob right above my collarbone.
01:38A lot like the photos of the people you just cut their hair.
01:41I'm obsessed.
01:42It seems like you like cuts that have a lot of movement and texture in them.
01:46Yeah.
01:46So you're okay with layers and kind of, okay.
01:49When I cut hair dry I like to start by blow drying it smooth.
01:53So I'm just going to go ahead and blow dry your hair with the GHD Air Dryer.
02:05So I'm going to go around here.
02:10Oh my gosh.
02:12I want to take a picture.
02:15Oh my god.
02:16Yes.
02:19My hair has been a source of confidence for me.
02:23I've definitely felt really good about myself when my hair is long and flowing and when
02:29it's styled really well.
02:30I love actually hearing when people say that they like my hair but I also don't think I
02:36should use my hair as a crutch.
02:41So my friends are very encouraging.
02:43So when I say I want to cut my hair I'd say I have like 50-50 response which is,
02:47but your
02:48hair is so beautiful, long, it looks great.
02:50And then I have the other half of my friends saying, yeah, absolutely chop it off.
02:55We love it when it's short, like you'll look so great.
02:57So I'm going to probably have mixed reviews but it doesn't really matter because this is
03:02for me and what I want and at the end of the day I'm really, really excited about cutting
03:06my hair and doing something totally different.
03:17So how did you get into hair?
03:19When did you start?
03:19I've always just loved like beauty and art and fashion.
03:23Like I used to love braiding my sister's hair and like I always did everyone's hair for
03:28school dances.
03:29I'd get up super early for school and like crimp it and add the butterfly clips.
03:33So then when I got to high school my friends and I started cutting each other's hair and
03:37our own hair and like experimenting.
03:39So I went to cosmetology school.
03:41I knew I didn't want to work in a salon.
03:42I just kind of like fell into that life but I'd always been inspired by magazines and editorial
03:47and runway and red carpets and I knew that that's really what I wanted to do.
03:53For short haircuts like this I like to cut the perimeter pretty blunt so you have that really
03:59defined line at the bottom.
04:01And then I'll cut the layers with my razor and thinning shears so that there's more movement
04:07throughout your haircut.
04:18After my haircut I want to feel excited and I want to feel like a boss.
04:24I want to feel like my hair is awesome when I'm walking on the streets walking to work
04:29or like going out and going to a bar.
04:31I want to feel super confident and I want my hair to just be like a huge statement when
04:35I walk in.
04:43Oh my god look at all this hair.
04:44I know it's crazy.
04:48So now I'm going to use the GHD Platinum Plus Festival Styler to give you a nice natural
04:54kind of cool girl wave.
04:56Yes.
04:57Oh see the way that you do it like that's like the way it really does.
05:00So for short hair that's better because you want to see less of a curl and more of a wave
05:04in your hair.
05:05Okay.
05:11Hopefully people will say that I look good, great, sexy, mature, not cute.
05:19But if they say cute I'll take it in stride.
05:23All right so this is the finished look.
05:25Are you excited to see your new hair?
05:26Yes I am.
05:28Okay.
05:29Oh my god.
05:31Oh my god.
05:31It's a whole new you.
05:32Oh my god.
05:33You're like happy tears.
05:34No.
05:35Do not cry.
05:36Oh my god.
05:36That's exactly what I wanted.
05:38Oh my god.
05:39Chic and stylish.
05:40Yeah you look super chic.
05:42It's like a whole new upgrade.
05:43And this is it.
05:44This is the cut.
05:45Yeah of course.
05:46Thank you so much.
05:47You look beautiful.
05:54I love my hair.
05:56I feel really happy.
05:58I feel really confident.
05:59I feel really at peace like this is how I'm supposed to look right now in my life.
06:03I just want to go out in the world and I want to present myself to everyone and I feel
06:08really
06:08inspired to just take on new things and a new chapter.
06:11I'm ready for a huge change and this hair is going to take me there.
06:14I can't wait.
