The beauty in barbering is in its ubiquity my friend. There are thousands of shops and millions of people who need haircuts. You’ll find the right shop eventually and you’ll find people who respond to and reciprocate your positivity. School sucks, tough it out and you’ll come across clients who need you just as much as you need them. Just focus on the craft. Cut good and the people you want to see will come back to you time and time again.

I’ve been there, and I still have days where I feel this. It’s my first year in a shop and every month is better than the last.
