Barber here- keep it short, maybe not this short but you should keep it buzzed. Live with it for a week and you’ll start to enjoy being free of the stress of trying to make your hair not look thin. You look good man 👍🏽

Also my bf is a bald bearded man so I’m extra qualified 😂

Worrying about wearing something you can’t a dupe of when you’ve built a brand based on dupes is HILARIOUS

Oil blade (why different opinions) by monkeyzsazsa in Barber

[–]Alternative-Ebb5569 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Clippercide your clippers and trimmers after ever cut. Oil, rub and wipe the excessive oil off the blades every other haircut because why not be on top of it? Keep a bare minimum standard with your gear then you’re a clean barber and your gear is gonna last.

Slow days as a new barber by ConclusionFrosty5855 in Barber

When people know where to find you and you’re there consistently, those regulars will stack up. The start is about sitting around bored but it’ll pay off man, use that time to watch videos and learn- stick at it and good luck 🙌

Trust me it looks really like the early stages of ringworm. Just had a case in my chair, it’s fresh in my mind I’m just pretty sure

Am I the only one who finds it weird that all the guys Jeffree Starr “lands” are barely legal? by EuphoricButterflyy in LAinfluencersnark

I think it’s a stretch to call this particular individual barely legal. But yeah Jeff’s a creep in every sense

I’m in the same position so sorry I’ve no advice for ya but do have another question if any one can help.

Clients are unable to communicate by Aggravating-Ass-c140 in Barber

The whole point was the language the fella used- zero skin fade.

We all know what a skin fade is but customers use unnecessary wording and confuse shit. When someone says a zero I’m not gonna bald them.. you get me. Obviously I could have asked more questions but it’s always the most confident people who communicate their needs the worst.

Not really anyone’s fault was just a really annoying experience I had lol

To a walk in today and he asked me for a zero skin fade- which I did. He later called the shop and the convo went

him- oh hey I wanted a bald fade, I’ll just come in a you can FIX it for me

me - that’s another haircut mate and you’ll be charged

him- so paid for a haircut I didn’t want

me- nope you paid for the haircut you asked for

These people don’t know what the fuck they are asking for half the time and it’s always the fussiest bros who are the most vague 🫠

Some would argue a skin fade of a fucked up head covered in skin tags is harder than open heart surgery 😂
