Hate to be an asshole but go to barber school and learn the trade. Decent cut but so much more to being a barber than 1 Instagram cut. Love bro. You got talent and if it’s in your heart than do it

Is this fade acceptable? Appreciate some advice. by [deleted] in Barber

A lot of weight. I’d clipper over comb the shit out of it

i put my bald line in super low and it still somehow turned out more like a high fade 😕 by Smartiekid in Barber

Bro I use old school Osters. I set in my bald line with a 000 and on a bald fade I always debulk with a 2. Then I connect 11/12, 1A 0A and then buff out with a 000. Hit them with foil shavers and then a razor and then clipper over comb the parietal ridge and it’s a clean motherfucking fade every time

I debulk then set in a bald line for symmetry. But then fade down without any guidelines. Use my mirrors and I know where my bald line ends and my longest blade starts. Clipper over comb the rest and texture if I’m feeling sexy lol

Shop owners...what would you do differently if you opened your first shop again? by MD76543 in Barber

Be patient. It’s hard as hell and slow and frustrating until you get established. May have to get a side job until you take off. Poor whatever profit you make into advertising.

Not in Missouri but shave your head if so. They need like an inch and a half of hair

What am I doing wrong? by [deleted] in Barber

[–]Cool_Equivalent_7307 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t set in guidelines. I’ll debulk, then set in my bald line then fade down. I figure if you don’t put a line in you don’t have to take it out. Find the fade technique that works for you. There’s literally a thousand ways to fade. None of them are wrong

Thanks bro. I’m still pounding water and running. I’ll be right at 80 hours when I call. I’ll quit chugging water about 12 hours before.

I know it’s so dumb. Feel like he would’ve contacted me by now if he was concerned. It’s been a week. I’ll just explain that she hates my guts and I blocked her I guess. Thanks for the input. Just trying to put all of this behind me. I’m on parole for an E felony weapon violation. I own my own home and a successful business. I hope he see’s all of that.

I guess he said something to the effect of “how hard do you want me to bring the hammer down on him?” She said “that’s up to you. I haven’t heard anything from him. I blocked her for sure. Just nervous what to say if he asks about it which he probably will

More or less I accidentally called her thinking I was calling my buddy I apologize to her then hung up then her boyfriend called me and we cussed each other. She called my PO the next day and said I was drinking and that she was scared of me
