I love

Or you could next use a number 3 and work it down into a 2.5 and then a 2 I’ll save yourself the money of buying a comb😂

Are you going to make a white and black one also? I would rather have a white and black than a blue.

What's the name of the black clipper your using and what brand is it?

Very cool. As a beginner barber would I eventually develop an eye and be able to use any type of comb for clipper over comb? This Fade Comb looks very helpful to start off with!

Ivan's awesome met him at success barber school Chicago 2012

Does your left hand hold the hair parrallel to the floor when you snip? It seemed to me that your left hand held the hair parallel to the heads surface at that hair's root. Please confirm.

Oh my god, I remember having that done to me in kansas city!!! It was EXCELLENT! I had never had it done in the south in Texas!v

Why does the camera film from below, constantly showing the stuffing in the mouth and the nose hairs?

“I wanna touch it. I wanna feel it. I wanna see it. I wanna get a look at it.. cuz I wanna buy it” aayyooooooo.. gigantic pause 😅😅😅😅

Would love to see more in creating masculine hair styles

Love this square layering technique. Does it differ for forward hair styles as opposed to slicked back styles?

Thank you this is really helpful. I’ve moved over to detachable and I like them so much better!

Just realised that your entire channel has nothing about beards! Would love a beard playlist!

I don't disagree with the premise over all but I would much rather accommodate the customer who was courteous enough show up 10 minutes early by allowing them to hang out and have a coffee before the opening time on the door then accommodate some dude who runs in the door at "4:59:59" and goes "nana nana boo boo you have to cut my hair now". From a customer service standpoint it doesn't make much sense to me. You're more likely to have the scenario in the morning than the person who walks in at one minute to close. So you would positively impact more of your customers by opening your doors ten minutes early (and be ten minutes ahead to start the day). The person who runs in the door at one minute to close is both inconsiderate and rare. It's also easier to train your barbers to be ready ten minutes early than it is to say "who can say for sure when your shift ends". Again, I don't really disagree with the video but I have never got the leave the customer in the cold approach.

Sooo goood sir🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

So I tried this out yesterday, just as a #1 guard substitute (comb guards still en route). I noticed it didn’t cut as close as a standard #1 guard, and I compared them on the same head. Albeit there were bumps in the scalp but still noticeably longer than using a #1 guard. Is there a trick or knack to getting the comb on its own to cut as a tight #1 guard?

Hey Ivan, on this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqnOoYOGisqpgJYsi=3rDJeB_6ih4us-tb In the later stages you talk about how different tools cut the hair differently, Do you have a video on this specific science ? And do trimmers cut the same as clippers being some have staggered teeth blades and some don’t

Just got mine in the post and love it! On the very first day I could feel the design improving how I cut hair! Why this is not viral amongst barbers is beyond me

Would be good to see a deep dive video into this specific technique, focussing around high, natural and low fades and also drop fade variations

Would love a deep dive on texturising and layering men’s hair and difference techniques

Would love a video outlining the key differences between all the scissors you mention in this video mate

nice tip exactly what I was looking for

I didn’t know this was a thing. I recently booked and appointment and forgot. I do understand the charge policy but I think it should be null if you don’t tell the person making the appointment of this policy before hand while making the appointment. Just don’t pull it out of nowhere. Time to move on to a new hair stylist. Specially if this is the first time that has happened.

I got a question? Do rest the comb on the head, or how far out should you come out with it?

I agree. Used to work in an old school shop at the start of my career. I used to get annoyed at those coming in at 4:59. Looking back I was wrong. I am here to serve the client.

That’s always been my OSW since working 40 yrs.

I AM OLD SCHOOL!!!Reliability, accountability, dependability, and consistency. Never thought about NOT opening before posted opening hour. Respect my time, too. Thanks, Ivan!

What’s the strange notch shape bit on the head of the wide tooth section near the spine ?

I’ve stayed past my shift but on Sunday I’m taking the last haircut at 4:30, its hard enough losing clients to an NFL game never mind being late to cook my kids dinner 🤷‍♀️ 💈 🫶

I totally agree - I do know my worth, but I am worth it, because of ideas like this! Thanks, Ivan

I agree. Even though when I used to barber for a living I didn't always like having to stay for a long time over quitting time I did it anyway because it was the right thing to do. I didn't mind except for the days when me and my wife wanted to do something that night, but you do what you're supposed to do. Thankfully, she always understood.

Amen bro! 30 year veteran barber. Totally agree on every point!

Legend...

I use white shirt so that it's easier to get those prickly short hairs off the shirt

Thank you so much, really helpful!!!

I love these in depth theoretical discussions. Keep em coming.

You don't sell them anymore, how comb?😁😆 No but seriously. I'm not seeing them on the website.

Smart

These look great! Have you thought of releasing a mirror image version, for those that may be opposite handed, so would find it easier going from the other side of the head? As from what I can make out the bevel means you can only go in one direction around the entire head. Also for hair growth patterns where going from the other side would work better, or even for those wanting to do a home haircut on themselves and would find it easier going from front to back on both sides. I feel like producing the mirror image would be easy to do as only difference would be the bevel being on the opposite side! You would literally take the same model pre bevel and choose different side to bevel depending on the final model type, would mean with a left and right version you could double sales!

This was not helpful at all. What kind of dumb ass doesn't know this already. :/

Love this post, good info

I needed to know these tips. Thanks for sharing. Excellent video

@ 6:28 is where he gives his five tips with examples

Love the commentary, but I would have done it differently

I like your haircut, Ivan

Exact narration I want in a how to video. But I gotta say I’d probably hate having you as a barber. Even if you are amazing your energy would make me so anxious lol. Getting a haircut is an anxiety waiting to happen for me so I pray for low energy low personal connection attempts low prices and high skill lol. I never get them all

Didn't answer what the lights on the base mean. Thank you

Mannequin or not that flattop is AWESOME!
