"Don't be the guy that is willing to pay $300 for an Andis cordless clipper, but won't pay $300 for the course that teaches you how to use the clippers." - That was real talk right there brother.

Done them all but learned from each one. Dont be afraid to do mistakes guys its part of the learning process 👍

1. no plan (business) 2. no plan (haircut) 3. not using fade techniques 4. fade distraction 5. not brushing/combing 6. improper zero gapping 7. redundant cutting 8. marketing to other barbers 9. focusing on money 10. wasting money

I don’t comment on anything I see online, but I want to personally thank you for the new wave you are creating. It’s helping me a lot. I don’t know you and you don’t know me but I can promise you, we will work together on some projects in the future.

I'm not a barber. I do many things, but primarily, I try to present myself well. How one takes care of themself tends to say a lot about them. I know so many engineers that are brilliant, but they don't take care of themselves. While they are inteligent in their own respects, their appearance does not give one confidence in their ability to lead. If one goes to court, they try to present themselves in a way that is honoring to the court in hopes they are viewed in a better manner. I like what you are doing here--you have taught me a lot about cutting my own hair and I wish blessings for you as you seem passionate about what you do. Hopefully, I'll continue getting better at cutting my own hair so I always look fresh. I truly enjoy being able to clean myself up whenever I want. I used to only get my hair cut every few months, but now, I clean everything up each week or two. Thanks for your help!

This man deserves a PHD or Novel Peace Prize within his industry! I know immediately, that he's been around the block and knows precisely what he's talking about. This kind of expertise does not come from anything other than living the mundane, barber existence day in and day out, yet paying attention to the realities that matter most in terms of observation: success, failures, and indifferent attitudes. No kidding, this man speaks the the real deal, TRUTHFUL. I know, I've been there and am now retired. Well done, lad! Keep fighting the good fight, in service to Jesus and those whom we serve each day in His name.

Damn this guy is just cool on a whole other level. I could listen to this dude talk allday not even about cutting hair, he talks facts. Thank you!

Another Kevin here. I’m in the fibre optics/telecommunications business currently but I’ve been cutting hair casually for years. Your videos are an inspiration and filled with all the info a guy like me would be looking for. Not quitting my job yet but I’m thinking of starting part time in a local shop. 🙏🏾🙏🏾 Big up yourself bredda.

You're clearly a genius lil bruh 💯

I love this bro it's real facts my process was this from the beginning to now. Bro I cut my own hair took and pic and sent it to my barber and i told hes fired lol so he offered me a job. But I dont want to work in anybody's shop I make more money with the shop I build in my house. Well before this virus lol. You been a really great teacher for me through the years bro thank you

Not gonna lie bro you convicted me on the investment in tools. I got alot tools I don’t need cause i’m not even a quality barber yet. I like what your doing on this channel, keep it up.

Your one of the barbers along with 360 and chris that I pick up game from. It's good we have you barbers to spread your knowledge in our industry..appreciate it love one!!

Just started a barber journey from another carrier. You're on point about the business aspects in whatever field. Also that chick's hair looked dope after it was done. It was pretty before but she looked happy as hell after. When I'm through, I want that. People smiling after the cut/ shave and ready to come back in a week or three. Keep doin it man👍

Wow, I was really impressed with what he had to say! Seems very knowledgeable in his craft

Best in-depth detail about the fade

I started alone once I got my license. During barber school, it was the height of COVID, so we didn’t have clients to practice. I was lost at my first gig. My second gig was an established barber shop/ beauty salon and I only got belittled and no help but learned by watching others. My second gig my own co workers would call HR and complain that customers were upset with my work so I was let go. I was rehired cause out of the 3 ladies that worked their , only one stayed. I have no complains from HR and I’m a better barber. This industry is not for the weak, it’s tough and will eat you alive. The place is closing down and I’m ready to open my own business. I’m not the greatest barber but I’m always learning.

But above all...... “Don’t fall asleep in the getaway car”.

With the Corona Virus pandemic going on and New York closing barbershops, I have been cutting my own hair. I clicked on the video, because I thought it was about tips for cutting hair. After watching a few minutes, I realized that it was not, but ended up watching the whole video. As a business man myself, I enjoyed the knowledge that you imparted for beginning barbers. My hope is, that many take heed to your advice, I believe it will help them greatly, if they intend to make barbering their career. Keep up the great work!

You seem like such a chiller man, your way with words, vision and advice is really inspiring. Making me want to give barbering a go, love from Australia.

You are really smart about this industry and seem very good. I’m 14 and started cutting hair about a year ago and I’m starting to improve

That concept you described on money was Legendary !! definitely a million dollar mindset

Going off the thumbnail I would have assumed you messed her up, you did a good job. You’re gifted sir, blessings.

1:46 facts bro 💪🏾💯

Damn! "Money is exchanged for a problem solved". Great quote!

Thank you 🙏 for dropping knowledge every video I’m learning more .hope everyone appreciates these videos and the great content in them .👌

Awesome brother. Wow this brings a lot of clarity...Thank you

So much knowledge dropped in your videos bro. Way beyond just cutting hair.

Mate,I came in to get guidance on what mistakes not to make when trying to get a Covid-19 home haircut. I didn't learn much....however, your attitude is really refreshing, positive and focused. I'm really pleased I watched this today! All the best. 👍

I’ve done each of these 😅 love your videos! Only licensed for 2yrs so still learning obviously and your videos help a ton!

Thanks alot for this great words ,I loved the part when u said we shouldn't be discouraged to post our works no matter what

Super dope vid!! accurate and thorough. I've been cutting my siblings hair for a couple years, started cutting in a shop officially since last month. I plan to get my license, even though I graduate next month as an RN.

The other day I watched your video on mistakes and one mistake that I didn't realize why my Edge up for not coming out crispy is because I was not holding my clippers the correct position and after watching your video My Edge up lines were more crispy I really appreciate you brother keep doing what you do

Thank you for teaching me something useful as a first-timer

Pretty good video. You may want remove the "beginning" because I see LOTS of Barbers making these mistakes. Please make a video on Sterilization and Sanitation because that is a huge problem.

Thank you for your video. You're wise and experienced sir. Very informative video. Add to this the fact that you do what works for yourself in every aspect of the barber industry. There's too many variables to cover. When you do figure it out is a beautiful thing and there is no limit to how successful you can become. There's levels to this and elements you have to learn on your own that can't be taught. It does not matter how long you been doing it you always learning. I'm open minded and been in the industry for 3 decades and always learning. The number 1 factor here is loving what you do ! Many challenges come with this industry and in the end if you're not happy with it move on. Is not for everybody.

Ok my fellow barber I heard your take on these 10 steps and I have been explaining these steps for him to learn so awesome content and I shared it with him so he can see I’m not the only one who’s saying these things and so he can be more receptive and understanding of learning and growth and who knows he might subscribe and follow you is my hope for your advice is FACTS And he just bought brand new andis and I’m telling him that he must master with what he has already it’s not like the clippers have a secret pilot mode and does the job by itself and almost all of your strategies and he is passionate and is younger so I think you will hit home with him and he needs to hear this over and over.AMAZING CONTENT AND WE NEED MORE BARBERS LIKE YOU IN OUR INDUSTRY.

That’s a barber minister right there! 👌🏽

I too did some of it thanks for the correction

You’re a wise dude bruh. Appreciate you.

Bro.... this man unbelievable

Amazing tips! I think the one that hit home for me is to save them coins 👏🏽 I am a self proclaimed product junkie and since I started doing KZfaq product reviews it has gotten a tiny tiny bit worse 😂 I've learned that trying to keep up with everyone else will leave you broke, unsatisfied with your amazing work and always steps behind. I'm learning to use what I have and most importantly stick to my budget 👏🏽👏🏽

Im a new barber this was seriously helpful. Thank you

Do what you love, love what you do. And aspire to be the best! Great video!👍 thanks!

Woow. Great tips for me right now. Just started this journey in Poland. Subscribed, and going for next video. Thank you for sharing this with us!

As a guy who just moved to a new city and am looking for a new barber, this video made me miss the fuck out of my old barber. Dude's been undercharging for a minute imo and when you started listing off points of more expensive/better barbers vs cheaper ones, he fit that.

Thank you

U came a long way.. I haven't peeped the channel in over a year bruh and keep grinding and honing the craft

The best video a barber must watch. Thanks bro!

Hi. Thank you for the advice. Please I am not a barber but I need your clear answer on this. I got a zero gapped clipper/trimmer and barbers have been saying it can't cut long hair styles. Is that so? If not, please how can I advice my barber to cut long hair styles?

Great video bro thank you

Very well made video and detailed explanations on each point 👌🏽

i love all your video. this one was great. good content. thanks man

Thanks bro

Thank you! Great video!

Great content sir. Thank you so much.

Awesome presentations my young brother. Teach and reach...take the barbering industry to the next level 👊🏽💈

Hey, I have a Wahl Cordless detailler and I can shape up the hairline well but, when it comes to the sides and back, I end up cutting whoever I am giving a trim. I try to be as light as I can, but a day later I still see a cut on whoever I trim, also when I try and line the sides it just really hurts... any help/tips?

Very cerebral, also articulatly out of the box, but on point explanation brotha. Much respect. Blessings 🙏

Spot on! 👌 When are you reopening shop? We open Friday 5/15. Ready to get back ✂️

Great vid man you are well educated. Keep up the content

Ur videos are dope. Thanks for sharing!

Dropping knowledge bro! Phenomenal vid as always✊🏽
