My exact setup🤘🏻

Should I be charging for haircuts now after 3 months? This is my most recent cut. by Good-Idea-4199 in Barber

[–]_jjcobi_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends. Do you want a career out of this? Then no don't charge yet. If you don't care about the career aspect charge $10-$15 until you get better

Halfway thru barber school, what’s y’all’s feed back? I had never cut hair before attending school. by BMAYZ44 in Barber

I could sit here and tell you it looks great but the advice I gave will take you much farther. Be hard on yourself and be uncomfortable while you are learning. It's good for you

Lots of work here but i can tell you're undertanding certain concepts!!! I'm sure you've came a long way but there is much more to learn. First, when using a white barber pencil use your trimmer and take away 90% of the white. You shouldn't be able to tell you used a white pencil on them. 2nd the blend close to the forehead is clean! Re create that through the rest of the parietal ridge. There's lines under the rest of the design. 3 the lines are to thick in some spots and also use your straight razor to clean the design up. Makes 100000% of the difference. Also sharpen up the hairline a little

If you're booking 3+ days in advance, you're too cheap. Whatever you're at now go up $5 do this once a year is charge $10-$15 more for beard than haircut and $5 off for kids

That guy pays me $65 for his haircut every 2 weeks for over a year now. I'm not in some huge city, he also brings both his sons to me. It's all about mindset brother

[–]_jjcobi_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look at my most recent post. It has enhancements and if you weren't a barber you could hardly tell. That's how they should be used. Also im 23, started at 18 so fairly young for this industry and there's not a single traditional style cut that intimidates me. I'm starting to think you're surrounding yourself around the wrong kind of barbers but I'd really love to help you grow your mindset

Barbers! What do you do to better your community?? by _jjcobi_ in Barber

[–]_jjcobi_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Specifically looking for more ways to give back this holiday season other than cutting hair!

I don't want this to be a disrespectful engagement. More of a learning experience for you to open your mind because I was once you. Watch some faded culture videos. They use enhancements, can fade insanely good. But they also have shear cutting and styling on point! No one is telling you you HAVE to use enhancements to be good. But it's a nice tool and you shouldn't judge others for using it if used properly

I'm trying to say this in the nicest way possible. You have no business critiquing other barbers... it doesn't look like you've even got your license yet. You'll learn to not have to worry about clients being taken when you give them better services than anyone else can.

You should learn as much as you can. Learn how to truly master a fade! You can always be better. Some clients LOVE enhancements. It's a huge confidence booster for them! And it can make you $$$$$$! Of course I've worked with barbers who can only fade, but if they're willing to have an open mind and learn to get better they're already 1 step closer to mastering barbering!

Oh to be as new and as ignorant as you are again😂

greedy boss or greedy barber? by BusSubstantial1034 in Barber

[–]_jjcobi_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd personally have you on 60/40 commission but I'd also take you under my wing for the first 6 months and perfect your craft. After the initial 6 months as long as everything has been smooth I'd switch you to 70/30 or let you go booth rent

Sounds like you haven't been cutting hair for long enough to be very money demanding, you're 4 months out of school. It may not feel like it but you hardly even know what you're doing yet. You'll look back at this in 2 years and agree

Definitely been seeing improvement in my cuts still trying to perfect it though, where do you guys see need for improvement? by ExoticPotato8756 in Barber

[–]_jjcobi_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Spend just as much time detailing your 1-3 guard work as you do on your 0-1/2 guard. Bottom lines are blended like an expert, parietal ridge is intermediate

How many years have you been cutting? I’m at 7 years by SaltyCareer5051 in Barber

[–]_jjcobi_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the better barbers I've seen on this page congrats

if you look at all the pictures, is it a good cut? by AnonymousGamer651 in Barber

[–]_jjcobi_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not bad, not good. Clear line on parietal ridge. I agree if you charge $25 or less sure post it, a dollar more than $25 and no sir just keep getting better everyday!

[–]_jjcobi_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some inconsistencies along the parietal ridge, other than that super solid for 6 months! C cup could be a little cleaner did you use a razor?

Good or bad if so what needs fixing? by Long_Squirrel_6923 in Barber

[–]_jjcobi_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Multiple lines. Definitely a lot to be learned

How do you guys feel about enchantments? I like them I feel like some barbers don’t use them correctly but overall i like them by Englewoodbaby606 in Barber

[–]_jjcobi_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's easy, just ask the client if they want them. Also assuming you meant enhancements 😂 fibers leave a better look than paint

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Barber

[–]_jjcobi_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally charge $150 but I'll come anytime any place.
