Star Trek's Spock Hair by Russell Mayes

DESCRIPTION

In this Spock hair tutorial, Russell Mayes, Director of Content, demonstrates how to cut the classic Mr. Spock haircut focused on keeping the cut balanced and the texture clean and smooth. While the look is often associated with the iconic Star Trek character, the underlying shape is a versatile foundation that can be adapted for many contemporary styles. This haircut can easily be associated with the emo or edgar haircut.

Russell uses Jatai Tokyo Scissors and Tokyo Thinning Scissors to complete the look. He then styles it with the Du-Boa High Tech Brush.

Here's what you’ll learn:

  • Clean sectioning and technique for achieving the strong super clean shape
  • How to maintain symmetry and avoid common pitfalls in execution
  • Variations that make the haircut adaptable for different hair types and modern variations

This video is designed for professional hairstylists and students who want to improve their technical skill and understanding of how timeless haircut shapes can be repurposed for today’s clients.

Star Trek had some iconic characters played by William Shatner, George Takei and Nichelle Nichols, but one of the most famous was Leonard Nemoy who played Spock due to his different haircut and eyebrows. This just proves that hair can leave a lasting impression on people and is an important part of ones image.
