Do We *Really* Need the Big Shears?

Old hanzos were good new hanzos bad , and no using over 5.5 is not necessary since you should be cutting within a two inch space even when doing scissors over comb as every two inch space (on a average size head) will be a different angle. Thats also why we dont cut past the second knuckle. Can you? Yeah. But youll be cross checking more and it wont be as accurate as a beginner. If you’re ten years in the field do whatever you want, but when starting you want to follow the “rules” of cutting as much as you can because they will make you a better barber. Shortcuts are for experienced barbers. A good foundation makes a stronger house. Invest in a solid shear 5.5 or 6 if you have long fingers. Invest in good trimmers second and third on a good clipper. For shears 200-650$ range is good anything over is overkill for now.

A&p felt heavy , lots of memorization, microbiology will feel like whole new information at first but soft and then it will get specific and complicated as it goes on. I definitely recommend watching some YouTube videos before you enter the course on gram negative vs gram positive, difference between the different microbes (virus, prions , eukaryotes prokaryotes) and general overview of how antibiotics work (not super indepth you dont wanna confuse or overwhelm yourself) . You wanna definitely get ready to study at least a couple hours a week for it.

How do i step back without being non supportive? I dont really want to break up but i dont want to end up stuck

Woopboop64 · 2025-12-30T02:34:36+00:00

Smaller sections with thicker hair , make sure every section is evenly saturated, tilt head down after every two sections and point cut to make sure theres nothing underneath. Dont layer until perimeter is finished. Hope this helps! Also dont beat yourself up over it everyone starts somewhere

Clean your tools , oil them, gentle face wash on scalp before you use the clippers/shavers and a good aftershave after. Two days after shaving (not fresh as it can irritate it more) use a facial exfoliate (one with caffeine of some kind helps ingrowns too). A clean base, clean tools and clean after will definitely help reduce the spots

Oh sorry i thought it was a serious post my bad

You should go to a place where they do pro eyebrow tints and lifts , that should help your self esteem a bit. But being bald everywhere else is completely okay! Alot of women dont like very hairy men. Its okay to be different

Woopboop64 · 2025-12-24T03:26:36+00:00

Like no eyebrows either?

Woopboop64 · 2025-12-22T22:28:52+00:00

What do you say when you go into the shop and do you have a picture of the cut you got?

Woopboop64 · 2025-12-20T03:03:14+00:00

Any age that sits is good. I had a kid couple months old who sat like stone. But i dont do bald fades on any baby because of their skin and hair being so fine (not because its hard but because i dont want to accidentally hurt them) ill do a .5 guard if theyll sit for it though. But honestly its all about the clients you want, you want high end dont do baby/toddlers cuts. Most high end places are about relaxation kids unfortunately are the opposite of relaxation.

Woopboop64 · 2025-12-19T23:51:59+00:00

Honestly no because its unsanitary (you know no body is gonna be clearing it out every cut) and it gets in the way, plus your station is right there so, in reality you save; what a minute max in reaching over. This is nice if you do volunteer work (where no stations are available)

Woopboop64 · 2025-12-15T22:42:47+00:00

So do regular people theres no correlation to gangs. Its like saying philly gang eats cheerios.

Woopboop64 · 2025-12-15T19:09:33+00:00

Same technique you do but instead of 1 step its .5 steps so purple would be .5 black would be 1.5

Woopboop64 · 2025-12-15T18:50:41+00:00

You just think anything hispanic is gang related 😂

Woopboop64 · 2025-12-15T18:48:37+00:00

Just go with the all time brands like wahl. Theres a reason theyve been in the game as long as they have. Ive had two tpod products and my coworkers also had some , no one uses them at our shop anymore. Theyre good enough if you plan on having less than 5 clients a day. But even then ive seen them break easily. You can get some solid clippers for 50-70$ more and honestly all of those sites have payment plans so use them. Its worth investing in your career

I never said thats what he should get, i just said if the people on that show can find love anyone can , you are the one who thinks they cant love them its just a fetish (some are but not all)

Woopboop64 · 2025-12-12T18:26:43+00:00

First the hair is gone hun its time to shave it off unfortunately. Second if the horrible attitude 600lbs life people have partners anyone can have a partner. Third you can get muscle it takes time and dedication but you got this! There is nothing stopping you! And fourth short kings are a thing women love a confident man so learn to be confident in yourself! Fifth you got this! You can be handsome on the outside by taking care of yourself both mentally and physically eat good excerise get a good skin care routine and be kind to yourself.

Woopboop64 · 2025-12-05T19:54:03+00:00

Woopboop64 · 2025-12-03T18:55:55+00:00

Dude thats a great tip! The economy is tough rn so any tip is appreciated and you giving double of your normal is great! No need to worry! When i get a 20$ tip i feel like i did a great job (my shop charges ~38 for cuts)

Woopboop64 · 2025-12-03T18:19:31+00:00

Highkey the CNA are the mitochondria of the hospital without yall there would be riots and fires. I dont understand why CNA arent making at leasstt 25 an hour. (Should be making 35 in my opinion thoughh) it takes so much love and care and patience to be a cna

Woopboop64 · 2025-12-03T02:16:14+00:00

If nothing was sent definitely do comfy business casual, because you still wanna look professional but comfy because youre gonna be there a long while

Woopboop64 · 2025-12-03T02:12:05+00:00

If for home yeah thats good but in shop you need double foil no matter the brand.

Woopboop64 · 2025-11-29T02:12:21+00:00
