[@armaghanimran2304]

Please make a full video on face shapes and which hairstyles work best for each one.

[@qProdigyp]

Dude, I’ve learned so much from you. I’ve only been a barber for 7 months but your teachings have elevated my haircutting abilities to the next level. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Much love!

[@RegalGentleman]

That's amazing! We're glad the videos have helped you out. Good luck with your journey!

[@MrMrBigmac1]

so great to see this! i’ve been dying for something like this but all other have felt not quite like they cater to me or the host is an unbearable american! very refreshing to see a very genuine and nice guy doing this, hope i can get a trim from you one day!

[@DazODric]

Top man, great idea guys particularly at this current time. Top class work lads

[@RegalGentleman]

Thanks Darragh - appreciate the support as always!

[@RegalGentleman]

Thank you all so much for your questions! We're hard at work creating new content for you all, with some new cutting series' coming very soon. But for now if you have any questions for Dan for At Home with Dan then comment below!

[@YourFavBrunetteSophia]

When ever I have time I watch you 👏🏻 you are a idol for me 🙏🏻 #respect

[@RegalGentleman]

Thank you so much!!

[@laithful244]

Can you discuss different shampoo and conditioners you’d recommend and a routine based off how oily/dry the hair is. More specifically for graying hair that is also thin? I’m curious as to whether because of the graying hair I should be using a certain shampoo/conditioner and drying method. Thanks and good stuff!!

[@davidwright2379]

Hey Dan, love your work and every video and tips you provide, can you please recommend a pair of thinning shears, scissors, for a beginner to use when starting out cutting hair, I'm ok with the back and sides, but would really appreciate your feedback, cheers Dave from Melbourne Australia

[@jerzydrozdz4376]

Thank you very much for answers. I have some questions as well:-) How old Dan is? I am curious:-) Btw What factors are the most importand to become great, professional Barber, I mean let'say you run the Barber Shop and you seerching new Barbers for your team...what is the most important for you to consieder if a baeber is enough good or no.. if you have to chouse :personality, talent, tachniques, attititude, drive to learn new skills, experience ect?

[@vintage2429]

I normally have a fade mate but I'm going to embrace the growth in this lockdown. I've got super thick hair so would you recommend a wax or clay to style? Stay safe man

[@Snippets635]

Phil Vjestica what are you actually styling it for if you’re going to remain indoors?... genuinely curious

[@vintage2429]

@@Snippets635 Surely it's still ok to make an effort?

There are £600 scissors? oof.

[@jackiekelly7096]

Hiya Dan are you married I no u got kids why some hairdressers are alot of money than others jackie from Pembrokeshire wales

[@vinthebarber3982]

If you were very successful why wouldn't you want to own your own business. I own my.own barbershop I couldn't ever imagine working for somebody again. I guess everybody is different.

[@ronkumar1093]

Think he didn't like the admin side of it and responsibility plus increasing rent rates. Prob better suited to his lifestyle to do what he's doing atm I'm assuming? Not sure

[@RegalGentleman]

What Ron said haha. Dan has a very loyal clientele and is lucky enough to be able to charge £80 for a haircut minimum. He didn't enjoy the process of running a business, and as people that run our own business with Regal Gentleman, we can definitely relate to how hard it can be. It's not for everyone! Dan doesn't work for anybody, he runs his own business, he's just freelance and doesn't have any of the hiring, firing, being the last line in every decision etc.. It can be tough with very little freedom when you have 4 or 5 staff to manage. It can limit cutting time. Dan finds the life of working full days Thursday-Saturday freelance from Hunter Collective in London, with the rest of the week for private clients/brand work/his family in Liverpool works best for him. It's still his own business, just without the big commitments to rent and staff under him

[@vinthebarber3982]

Oh ok. Yes I no you dont have to tell me I own my barbershop I couldn't imagine working for someone our even at someone else's shop. If that works for him god bless. Alittle tip tho in america we dont use the word fringe in barbering that's purely unisex. You need some NY barbers to show you what a real fade is.

[@pounro]

1) Are there any types of hair or hair styles you don't enjoy cutting? 2) Is barbering as a hobby a feasible thing to do? Can I cut fake hair as practice etc?

[@chanyoke7585]

Thanks very much Dan, Sir,,..simply an enjoyment in watching those video clips that show off your mastery skilfulness. Indeed appreciation n best wishes, from Singapore! 👍🇸🇬👍

[@raymondbrooks2383]

Dan, you are a master! How about a video of you GETTING your hair cut. If I wanted to get my hair cut to look like yours, how would I describe it to my barber?

[@hollyatton10]

Great video! I'm not a barber but it's always a pleasure to watch Dan cutting hair and sharing his knowledge throughout these videos: so easy to feel the love he has for his art, and we can learn a couple of things as well! So, 'Bravo Dan' and thank you! All the best to you guys! ;)

[@adlad3199]

Dan the man, can you please talk about the Jake Gyllenhaal haircut from the movie prisoners?

[@StrangePath]

YES!! I was just thinking about getting this hair.

[@maxlandsborough4138]

@@StrangePath I think if you sectioned a horseshoe and then buzzed the back and sides with an 8 guard to create an undercut shape. Then faded up with a 4 into the 8 and then used a 6 to remove the weight line thatd give a very similar result. Main thing you need with that style is at least 6 inches of hair in the top.

[@franciegibbs1404]

I love love love this guy! He is a true artist and really seems like a sweetheart. I've turned my friends onto his videos, too. The way he does scissors over comb is insane. He makes it look so easy, but it's not! One question.. does he cut women's hair at all or do we just have to enjoy his talents from afar?

[@seanx4095]

Hey Dan, love these videos! - Hope you're well buddy. Take care, Seán.

[@michaelm170]

Your a good dude! Love ya videos and the knowledge you share. It helps me no end. 💈❤️

[@jnelson4611]

Love hearing Dan talk about his craft, thanks for answering my question!

[@RegalGentleman]

No problem. Thanks for sending us the question!

[@patrickfrehn7883]

im 29 years old and used to work behind the desk until i desided that barbering is what i want to do in life. I started in August last year and man have you helped me improve. I soak up as much as i can and your videos really really help a ton. You also seem like a genuinely good guy. So thank you very much Dan. My Question: Is there anyone you turn to when you want to learn new things? Any inspirations out there or rolemodels you look up to? Cheers Mr.Gregory

[@suzieg9076]

Just came across your tutorials, makes a change to have someone from the uk, loving your content, I got my diploma 2 years ago but no one would help with salon experience so tutorials are my only way, I won't give up on trying to get in a barbers but until I find one with a heart... Thank you 🤩

[@epchanel8787]

For Dan gregory, Could you take subtitle for your video, so I can catch what you say. I am not familiar with british aksen. Thanks From Indonesia

[@RegalGentleman]

We can definitely look to do that in future. Thanks for the feedback!

[@billhill7318]

Love your videos. Wouldn’t miss one. I like your work better than any other KZbinr out there. Keep up the great work.

[@sambyrne7542]

I really look forward to your videos mate, I'm 34 and have been cutting for 1 year now and I absolutely love it, very therapeutic. Thanks for sharing your knowledge

Appreciate the video, but the audio is messed up. It's only coming from the left.

[@RegalGentleman]

We'll check this out for future videos - thanks for letting us know!

[@jerzydrozdz4376]

Your effort of making all videos for Regal Gentelman is superb! Yo did spendid job on each video and each haircut is marvellous. I think the best option for you if you dont want to run your Barber shop, will be set up Barbering Academy. There are many Professional Barbers, but you are above the rest, you know that:-) Maby any plann in the future, to teach people Barbering in your Academy, not necessary from scrach... Apoart of your skiils, techniques, personality, creativity, your passion and explenation is terrific! Best regards, from Poland:-)

I thought my headphones were broken but it only comes out the left

[@RegalGentleman]

Hmm - we'll look into this for future videos! Thanks for letting us know

[@commandZee]

I loved you as Ari Gold on Entourage 😝😝😝 I predict simple bald buzz cuts and long shaggy styles will come back due to this calamity and ensuing economic downturn. If you're reading these comments, I'd like to know your prediction. Thanks for your videos, they're the best I've ever watched!!! I wish you, yours, and anyone else reading good health ❤️

[@elizabethsprinz9683]

Could you give a slow and detailed video of scissor over comb? What are you going by when you go from bottom to top. Holding my comb off the head still is hard. So are you bracing the spine of the comb on the head and just increasingly pulling the teeth of the comb towards you as you move up cutting? Also when I try to razor over comb, it is so hard to keep my comb firmly so it holds a line and does not bend as I run the razor by. Love and am impressed with your amazing skills. There is one video, in particular, where a client looked as if he was wearing a t-shirt, but when you were finished, he left with a tuxedo style that he could wear so many different ways. He could be a model! Can you cut an older man’s hair on a round head with recession please?

[@douglaspowell8565]

Hi Dan, Great videos, keep it up! I have two questions. I'm currently looking for a new barber and since there are now so many to choose from its hard to pick one out. Do you have any tips on how to pick a suitable barber before you've had a hair cut there (if possible). My second question is, do you have any skills within or outside of barbering you'd like to develop more? Thanks

[@ronkumar1093]

1. When i cut a slick back it falls down on the sides and doesn't wanna slick back lol (especially thick/dense hair) is there a method of slick backs, do you keep the corners on all slick backs? I been taught to cut square layers 2. When to use round vs square layers in cutting the top, corners and connecting - i been taught to cut square. Obviously when something isn't sitting right on the client at that particular length, we cut it round/tailor it 3. Why do some people when cutting a crop leave the 2nd section behind the fringe longer? They say its to make it heavier? Do we do this on all crops? 4. How to properly point cut and how to get better/faster at it

[@josesarmiento2221]

Thanks Regal Gentleman! You guys just made me discover my long lost passion. 🙏 I've always been curious about this though.. Does Dan cut his own hair? If he does, can you guys make a video about it? 😅

[@RandomnessBlue]

Hey Dan, 1.Is there any tips to make clipper over comb easy? 2.And also could you do a long to short tutorial on a blockhead. 3.And last but not least would working on a synthetic hair blockheads and not 100% real hair be ok to keep costs down? Thanks man keep up the awesome work Steve.

[@Lindaah206]

Dan your videos are fantastic! I cut my husbands hair and it came out excellent considering it’s my first time! I used barber scissors from Amazon. Snipped my left pointer finger, those scissors are sharp! So only due to Corona will I be cutting his hair. After that he will go to his regular girl! But you are a fabulous teacher! Would love you to visit the USA!

[@chazjenks3760]

What got you into barbering, and when did you realise you could do it as a job? Also, would you try and get your son into barbering when he’s older and try to make it his job? Cheers dan appreciate the vids keep up the great work!

[@Craig-we7un]

Hey Dan love the vids! I have a just question about one of your haircutting videos. It was the Alex Turner inspired haircut and I'm wondering what you would call the technique you did on the sides of Oscars hair where the bottom half is shaved and the top half of his side's are left long and slicked back . Just so I can ask my barber to give this to me !

[@blayne2029]

Hi Dan. Love your videos. My question for your next Q&A is... What is the newest trend/style in cuts that you're seeing now that you think will take hold? Have a good one!

[@azaliasimon1425]

When do you decide to section and cut the sides vertically verses horizontally? I've seen you mostly cut the sides down with scissor over comb sectioned off horizontally but have seen you cut by vertical sectioning

[@HollyL44]

I’ve noticed on some haircuts you create the horseshoe parting at the beginning, but on other haircuts you don’t and instead cut the top first. How do you know which to use on your client?

[@ZBL_AMD]

Dan, what are your fave clippers and trimmers and why? Also, can you do a straight razor tutorial please?

[@akashbhullar51]

How long do your haircuts take you on average? Considering the type of cut ie skin fade, longer hair with scissor work, etc

[@donaldbanks1989]

Do you have any videos of giving guys short haircuts like buzz cuts or high and tight cuts?

[@rosetongia3363]

Great Barber 👍

[@radekwegorowski6464]

[@winnersbarbers2985]

Great QnA, some good questions too. Thanks for all the videos Dan. I learned more from one of your videos than I did in 10 weeks on a barbers course. Love your videos, can’t wait for everything to get back to normal. Stay safe 💈

[@THOMASCOLTON1]

Should men die hair? What's best way to do it naturally?

[@beaviskeavis]

Best educational videos out there, all round professional 👌

[@nicoleavmars]

Thanks for answering my question about 'hair art'. I asked that while I was in a training course, I'm used to classic haircuts, fades and old school cuts, but in the training we were obligated to draw something in someone's head. And I HATED it, and that moment I thought I was a complete fraud as a barber! But, Thankfully it's not my clientele, it was for a course and I won't worry about it nymore!

[@RegalGentleman]

No problem, Nicole! Yes, focus on what your clientele want. If you want to learn hair art you can when you feel you've mastered more important techniques for you on a day to day basis! It's always good to have as many skills as possible in your locker, but not essential!

[@Michael-yz8gb]

Not sure I've seen a video of yours which covers your work on a long beard. How transferable are your hair cutting skills to your beard work?

[@RegalGentleman]

Have you seen this one? kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKm6oqOKYqujY68 - not quite a "long beard", but a decent length!
