all right youtube so before you actually
start cutting what you want to do
is you want to comb the hair out first
all right this is lifting the waves off
of the scalp
that way it makes it a lot easier for
the hair to run
through the teeth of the blade also it
has a lot to do with
snagging with the clipper you don't you
know if the hair is real coarse
um a lot of times when you you know
without combing
and you run the clipper through it it'll
snag you don't want the client to feel
uncomfortable so
make sure you pick the hair out or you
know comb the hair
forward um before you start cutting
also with waivers pay attention to their
hair pattern
and the way their hair is growing a lot
of times uh when cutting
a waiver you not you might not be going
in the direction that they want to go in
so if
you don't understand how their hair is
supposed to be
combed or brushed have them do it first
that way they'll show you
and you can get a better understanding
all right so my client wanted a two on
top so i went ahead and grabbed my two
with the lever closed now the reason why
i close the lever is because
you know when you open it that turns
into a 2.5
rather than a solid two so if you want
the length of the hair
to be added to make sure you close the
guard right now i'm going with the grain
of the pattern making sure that i go
slow
um before i cut my client i asked if he
had any cowlicks in front that's
something that you guys
want to look out for because you don't
want to run that clipper
uh you know straight through and your
client has a
a a big cowlick in the front and then it
looks like he's bald because
you know you just ran the clipper
straight through so always ask your
client
if they have calyx
so to all my beginners and people that's
in barber college
um you guys want to make sure that you
you know experiment and what i mean by
experiment is
use your left hand or if you're
left-handed use your right hand alright
it's nothing more uncomfortable than
being
confined to using only one hand man
because
you could be on one side you could be on
the left side and use your right hand
and that's cool but once you get on that
right side of the head
uh especially when it comes to lining up
man
it could put you in a real awkward
position so
always experiment on using your left
hand i wasn't always good at using my
left hand
it's just something that you know i
trained my left hand to do when i was in
barbara college so
uh i didn't want to feel uncomfortable
so i was like you know what i'm about to
just use my left hand if i mess up
i just happen to mess up because you
know i mean the person can't really get
mad at you
you're in barber college all right but
if you're cutting out of your garage
i don't know be a little bit more
skeptical all right so
but yeah man don't be afraid to try new
[Music]
things
[Music]
so
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
so
[Music]
so once i'm done cutting everything down
i like to do a small little brush
session um that way i can lay the hair
back down
also it lets your waiver clients know
that you know
how to brush their hair and you know
what you're doing man it it sets them at
ease as a waiver
[Music]
now when it comes to setting in the bald
line i'm going to use my babyliss custom
skeletons
to set it in now if you're a beginner
i would not recommend setting in your
line like this
um this is just because i'm experienced
i like to see a bold hard line
knowing that i could take it out with my
other clippers
right now i'm going in a rainbow like
shape my client wanted a high taper
so this is kind of the shape that i like
to give
either like a taper or you know all my
high tapers the reason why i do this is
because i want to look different i want
when my client leaves the shop that
somebody says hey man
what kind of taper is that where'd you
get that from you know what i mean it's
a signature look and you want to develop
your signature look next step
using my endus cordless masters with the
lever open
i'm going up about a half inch making
sure i keep that same rainbow like shape
all the way through now when it comes to
it being near the lineup part i don't go
up that full
half inch i want to keep that area as
dark as possible
that way i can get a nice crisp bold
line
[Music]
i also like to go over the guideline
multiple times that way
you could get it down to that real true
lever open length
[Music]
so with the one guard open i'm going up
the same width
that i did with the lever open and i'm
just kind of flicking
out i'm not trying to um you know dig
in i don't want to set a harsh guideline
i want to make sure the transition flows
as good as possible so try not to dig in
now with the two guard open i'm not
necessarily setting in
a guideline i'm just basically debulking
the areas where i see
bulk
[Music]
so going back with my one guard with my
lever open
i'm basically running the clipper with
the grain
trying to get that transition as smooth
as possible
[Music]
now closing the lever on that one guard
what i'm trying to do is soften up that
middle line
so in a flick out motion flick out that
middle line
[Music]
now that we got that middle line
softened up
it's going to be easier to take it out
with the zero guard closed so right now
i got my zero guard closed and i'm using
my corners the entire time now it may
look like i'm using the blade the full
blade
but no trust me i'm using my corners
and i'm flicking out in areas i'm
adjusting my levers
as i go up and just brushing down as i
[Music]
go
[Music]
now with the lever fully closed in a
flick out motion
flick out that bottom line i'm starting
below the line and i'm flicking to the
line
and keep in mind i'm using my corners
the entire time
i want to keep that rainbow like shape
as much as possible
and you cannot achieve that if you're
trying to use the full blade you know
what i mean you're just going to
straighten it out
so make sure when you're doing any type
of you know curvature blends
that you use your corners
[Music]
so right now i'm doing some detailing
i'm going back with my one guard
debulking with the grain i'm gonna clear
out areas where i see
bulk and use my corners and you know
just perfect the blend as much as
possible
so when it comes to the back taper i use
the same exact steps
the only difference is when it comes to
waivers i don't
curve um you know the ball line or do
anything fancy
i give a straight uh basic taper in the
back
when it comes to waivers we don't like
too much you know
uniqueness in the back or anything like
that we just want a basic taper
so right now i'm going with my ball line
setting it in
straight
[Music]
next with my lever open i'm going to go
up a full
inch because there's a lot more room to
work with as far as the back
[Music]
[Music]
now with the one guard open going up
about a full
inch making sure i brush down as i go
[Music]
so
[Music]
with the two guard on just going up
clearing out the bulk
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
using the one guard with the lever open
flicking out that area between the one
and the two
now with the zero guard closed in a
flick out motion flick out
that middle line make sure you start
below the line and flick to the line
and adjust your lever as you go up
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
now with the lever closed in a flick out
motion flick out
that bottom line remember to start below
the line and flick to the line
and brush as you go
[Music]
muscle predictions
[Music]
so before i line up my client a little
tip that i you know
use is i spray spritz or hairspray
on my client's lineup that way it locks
the hair in place
that way the hair isn't going anywhere
when you decide to line it up
also you want to brush the hair down and
blow dry
until it's fully dry now another tip
that i like to do
is whatever i take the hair down with
i like to go a guard size lower on the
lineup area so
right now i got my one guard with the
lever closed and i'm just taking down
that front line
[Music]
now when it comes to the lineup um the
way i do it
i usually start with the vertical bars
first but
because i'm filming it just looks better
starting from the middle
and then working my way towards the
right side and then the left side
it just looks better that way so
for beginners you want to line up the
vertical bars first
then start from the middle and go to
your left side and your right side
but at the end of the day you want to do
what's comfortable for you
this is just was comfortable for me and
you know try different ways you know
what i mean like
whatever you do though whatever you do
do not start from one side and go
all the way to the other side that that
there
you you're bound to have a crooked
lineup doing that so make sure
you cut out the middleman by starting in
the middle first all right
and then go to each side
[Music]
so when it comes to doing that around
the ear action
use the corner of the blade and just
i mean it's basically all about you know
hand and eye coordination at this point
i mean
i like to start with my corners around
the um
you know what i mean the same way i line
up the front i start in the middle first
but i
start in the middle of that curve
part and then kind of match it up on the
other side
[Music]
so
[Music]
muscle change production
so
[Music]
all right here's the part where
everybody turns up
wait a minute no enhancements bro he
didn't need enhancements bro
listen let me let me just talk to y'all
real quick
if you're in school all right it's okay
to be on that no enhancements matter of
fact
be on that no enhancements okay uh
that's what that's what i was when i was
in school i was like man no enhancement
game you know what i mean i'm not using
enhancements
forget it all right that's what barbers
that use enhancements they cheating
you know what i mean i used to be on
that but i'm on youtube now
and i'm not about to get left behind
because you know what i mean i'm on that
whole little
no enhancement game you know what i mean
at the end of the day
uh my client wanted this um and if
clients want this you got to be able to
provide it
right it's a service the reason why you
don't want to use enhancements when
you're in school is because you're still
trying to perfect your craft all right
don't hide it and cover it up with
enhancements all right perfect your
craft first
all right and then start using
enhancement you know i'm using this
technique right now shout out to get
beam uh he's the reason why i'm using
this pencil
it's a great tool this is a barber magic
pencil
and all i'm doing is going over the over
the lineup
it builds contrast between the cut
and the skin all right so after i apply
the uh
magic pencil i'm gonna line re-line them
up
um that way you know it softens up the
um
it's kind of like using that brush on
you know how females use the brush on
their uh
you know when they apply makeup and they
use the brush to kind of have it fade in
that's basically the idea of this
is realigning it um making it uh uh
kind of fade in also i'm gonna come
behind it
with a razor all right and that is what
sets
everything off that that's what puts the
icing
on the cake
[Music]
so first time starting out you're gonna
have a tough time using the razor
um i did um it took me a while to get it
right i always thought that i would you
know just cut my client
but what you want to do is stretch the
skin that is the most
important part stretch the skin and
basically
glide that blade across the skin all
right set it at like
a what a 45 degree angle
and just you know trust the process
that's mainly what it's about
trusting that that blade is going to
glide across the skin
[Music]
all right so the last thing you want to
do with cutting these waivers
is do a free hand trim on top that's
cutting off the frizzy hairs
that you know waivers tend to have um
you know if you do this to a waiver it
sets
the haircut off because he's not really
going to necessarily look at the cut
he's going to bend his head back and
look at the waves first alright so
you want to make sure you get all those
frizzy hairs up top and
that just lets your client know like hey
you know what you're doing
[Music]
