Clipper Cutting Made Simple

[@elainebmack]

Here I am again; 6 years later and still in awe of this wonderful tutorial! I really love short, yet feminine cuts like these. A woman can wear minimal makeup and jewelry and still look feminine.

[@MsNissan95]

I got one word for this video, "AWESOME". Thank you so much. This video was not fast forwarded, you explained each step in detailed, you told us what guard to use each step of the way, you explained the importance of combing while cutting, you pointed out each zone, you pointed out how to use the side of the clippers and trimmers, you explained the blending from one zone to the other. You are awesome Tim, and I love the perfection, because I'm a perfectionist myself. You are in a class all by yourself when it comes to your tutorials. PLEASE KEEP THEM COMING!!!!. OUTSTANDING!!!!

[@tjmasterbarber2664]

By far thee most sophisticated tutorial ever! Love the music the ambiance! Smooth relaxation!

[@mikacordero158]

Thanx for your video. We live in Central America and no one here seems to know how to cut black women´s hair. Some idiot ruined my girlfriends hair. I cut my own hair but I´ve never cut a black womans hair, or anyone elses for that matter. I watched your video 3 times, took my clippers and her trust, and man she looks great. I was a little afraid it might turn out masculine but that tip about the sideburns in a C shape and softening the back really did it. You saved my night dude. We´re going out! I fully agree with EMACK´s comment. God bless you man. She went from crying to TAKE ME SOMEWHRE! in an hour thanks to you!

[@sunnymoore8823]

I like the calming professional feel of this video. Soft music playing in the background soft speech but we are able to still understand everything he is saying. Not only excellent work but excellent video very good professional job!

[@GaryOLeach]

This was great! I remember producing this video with Tim McIntosh almost 15 years ago. We were both young in our professions and chasing our dreams. It wasn't perfect, but it has managed to stand the test of time. Tim McIntosh is STILL the greatest barber to ever cut hair.

[@chillbro2275]

Thank you Gary a nd Tim. It is exactly what I need and well executed.

[@TheCoolbeans001]

Still watching this and trying to learn and use these techniques in 2019. Such a beautiful cut.

[@mrhollandsopus418]

The person cutting the hair is an Artist. I would love to have a person like this.

[@ihavenomorenameideas]

I love this guy's voice. He's so happy about clipper cutting.

[@janetwestwood9194]

This is a womans' voice, you wally 🤔🫵

[@deannaeverhart9506]

You made her hair cut look so pretty. It fits her face and the shape of her head you really know your clients head and hair. Her hair cut looks very soft this is the most beautiful video I have ever seen thank you so much.

[@TheCoolbeans001]

I watched this video probably about 6 years ago and watching it today I'm learning more now than I did then. This video is classic and a great teaching tool.

[@sheilabell2353]

Thank you so much from all of us stuck at home trying to do our hair!! Took me watching at least 25 videos that really didn't give much info on which number to use, etc. So glad I found you!!!!

[@peacefulblessed2114]

I really like this video, they don't make barbers like this in 2017. I have tirelessly search for barbers that can cut. women hair. I have went to three barbers that lied about crafting a woman hair. I had one barber left my hair like it was going bald, another barber gave me a hard hairline, the last barber cut all my hair off. Barbers don't listen they cut your hair the way they want it cut. Majority of them are unprofessional. Instead of spending money on a ugly hair cut, I decided to invest in some good clippers and do it myself. Practice makes perfect.

[@andrekaseals6527]

Same here I just went to go get my haircut recently. I was very disappointed with how the back was, and he had the nerve to give me a damn hairline. They really don't listen then I went to the hair salon in Wal-Mart same situation Had before. It's hard to find people that actually knows how to do hair.

[@JJ-fh2pl]

What clippers did you end up getting?

[@seriousladywes8456]

You got that right

[@janetwestwood9194]

🤔🫡👍❣️🇬🇧

[@audieali9556]

shes simply flawless.... I love that look on her!

[@veranewman1870]

Such an Amazing detailed video. I love how you made the cut look so feminine! Some beautician’s and barber’s act like they don’t understand what a blended fade is. Love a perfectionist ❤️ you did that!!!

[@elainebmack]

I have seen and commented on this video multiple times because I am drawn to it, and I have concluded that yours is THE best short hair cutting video for Black women on KZbin. I'd love to see more of your tutorials.

[@simmondsjodi]

Hands down! The answer to my prayers.

[@mavishyde7441]

Perfect hair cut

[@deefoster1795]

Just beautiful, and so professionally done! I took a picture so I can find a stylist to do my hair very similar. I love this tapered cut!!! Thank you!

[@treblendz5035]

I love this video...the music was the perfect setting...I could swear I just had a hairgasm! Thank you!

[@kendraspencer3925]

🫵🤣🫸👍🇬🇧

[@chanelcooper5073]

I love this cut. I am sending this to my barber asap. Secondly I saw the credits and his wife sings with one of my favorite groups. Richard Smallwood and Vision.

[@chillbro2275]

Wow that's a fantastic coincidence! Good eye!

[@sthunda7132]

_You're a skilled master. I tried this technique on someone...they hate me because of the bald spots, zig-zag edges, uneven shading but I got a sharpie and colored the bald spots in. Practice makes perfect I always say._

[@mwest-yn5yx]

One of the best Barber videos of all time! Excellent job!!

[@revvyfyoutube2683]

Nice work. This whole thing brought me back to the 90’s. Excellent cut on her.

[@yomomsgumdrop5414]

Hi Timothy! I refer back to this video regularly for pointers that I might've missed, and it's been very helpful for me in my quest as a barber of becoming better with my fading/blending techniques and giving a softer feminine cut for my female clientele. You're clear, precise and without any unnecessary content...would enjoy new instructional KZbin post from you as well. I follow you on IG, and am looking forward to you returning to share your expertise on this platform.

[@ttothed2308]

Yes! Excellent tutorial without all the hype and distraction tactics to try to sensationalize what may not actually be a great tutorial like this one actually is!! Bravo!!! I would still rock this perfectly feminine cut. Perfect for her face, head and hair texture. Just lovely. Classy BECAUSE it’s not overdone. Timeless. 👏🏽👏🏽🥳

[@timothymcintoshjr.7479]

thanks for all the positive feedback on the video! glad it was useful!

[@studswaggah]

Please make more videos! You are the BEST AFRICAN AMERICAN barber on KZbin to explain in detail everything about cutting hair. I want you to cut on a mans head as well. This was refreshing!!!! MAN OH MAN! Watching all the other videos on here with all the loud rap music and they cut so fast that you can't learn from it. Some people don't understand that you were actually trying to instruct.....I can go to a barber shop if I just want to watch someone cut hair....I wanted someone to teach a little! I don't have time for barber school at this point in my life but I have a passion to cut hair so I decided to learn a few things from KZbin! And YOU are THE BEST! Again PLEASE find time to do more videos! THIS IS WHAT KZbin IS ALL ABOUT...FOR PEOPLE TO LEARN...THANKS

[@majormediaproductions]

Timothy McIntosh Jr. Hi Timothy you did such a great job. Im a woman who's is natural and I've been trying to get a cut like this for the past 3 1/2. No matter what barber shop I go to, they never seen to get the blending right and leave nu cut looking masculine. And I always leave dissatisfied. I know you're located in the Carolinas. Do you know any barbers in the New York City area that you would recommend? Thanks again

[@bettybailey7796]

Wish I could find a barber of his expertise here in My town. I have been disappointed every time I have gone to a barber. They don’t listen most of the time, and say they can when they really can’t.

[@luisaespinoza9509]

I love this cut so classy :) I wish we had sometime who can do this in Kansas. 🥰💃🏻

[@chillbro2275]

You skilled it bro. You're welcome. Thanks to Kiffany too, I might not have been comfortable on camera. And she was pretty with the right length hair for me to get the most of your instruction.

[@1purplerose]

By far the best tutorial I've seen! I clipper my own hair and I need all the tips possible. It's all jacked up cause I have no talent, but I'm working on my skills. You def got this woman looking sharp as hell. Thank you!!

[@TiffyCole_87]

AWESOME JOB!!! I have a tapered cut myself and I wish I could get a nice cut like this. I would be in heaven. Everyone that I go to seems like they don't know how to cut the way they were taught in school. They just do their own thing forgetting that it isn't about them but about what their clients want. Majority of the time, I'm dissatisfied with my cut after I leave the shop. Hopefully one day I get an awesome barber like you.

[@nicolecato634]

IKR! I'm learning to do it for myself.

[@creating1_c1999]

you know...like with my brows, I am going to learn to do it myself...there is no need to pay someone to mess it up...I can do that

[@altovise14]

Ms. Tiffany H. teach yourself

[@elainebmack]

I LOVE this cut. I had one much like it about 3 years ago and loved it. Since then I have let it grow long again simply because I felt like doing so, but this video is really pulling me back to short, chic styles like these. Very well done!

[@reneecollins5166]

Excellent, people have trouble blending. I tell them over an over to blend. This is a PERFECT HAIRCUT.

[@shawswifeandlovinthem459]

I wish i could find a baber in los angeles, like this everyone I've used gives me a man cut and im a WOMAN just a nice soft cut lol

[@elysemw]

Hate that!

[@barbr316]

This was so well explained professional, it made it easy for me to understand since I am new to barbering,altho I do have cosmetology experience I enjoy the barbering aspects more. Thank you for sharing this much needed educational video. Excellent haircut.....2 thumbs-ups.

[@tuxietarot976]

What a professional smart guy. I love how he is naming the cranial bones as he goes along. Helpful!

[@janetwestwood9194]

[@tanyapowell5491]

Now I know what to ask for!!! Very helpful...

[@kevseb66]

Thanks so much for sharing your know how. Clipper cutting has always been something I've stayed away from but now i want to learn some good techniques needed to service my clients better. You explained each step really well which I always appreciate. Thanks again.

[@1purplerose]

I last commented 7 months ago. My skills haven't really improved much, so I thought I'd view ur tutorial again. Please wish me luck. You've def got some great skills. I think I'd better stick to nursing. LOL!!!

[@njohnson1238]

Such a beautiful cut. Nice!!!!

[@wandajohnson9276]

VERY NICE, I LOVE THE WAY YOU TAKE YOUR TIME CUTTING THE HAIR, I WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO CUT MY HAIR.

[@mellowmk84]

Gr8 vid bit please advise what clipper and liners are used and explain if clipper is open or closed, half way during the blending and if corner is being used when blending using the guards or no guard

[@ellisstelly5206]

NICE... The Model made the cut.. your a great teacher

[@mmikle77]

from a teacher to a teacher: nice video ;-)

[@simmondsjodi]

Absolutely flawless! This video s a major key for me.

[@elainebmack]

My hair was very short back in July 2011, and shortly after that I moved to Saudi Arabia for a job. As my hair grew out I began looking for someone to maintain that cut, but there was no one who knew or was willing to cut short hair for women. In that culture, women are expected to have long hair, and it is forbidden for women to go to male barbers. Women also must keep their heads covered in public, so I used that as an opportunity to let my hair grow. Indoors, I wore headbands and little skullcaps to hide the many awkward phases of short to long growth. Now my hair is pretty long, but I yearn to be able to get AND maintain a cut like this as I did when I lived in the States. Consider yourselves lucky!

[@floydjones7627]

Very nicely done! Beautiful explanation along with illustration! Thank you so much!

[@sidneyt1016]

2023 and came across this video. This is exactly what I am looking for as a style for me. Using as a guide to self cut at home. Only challenge is I come my top forward and brush down in the back. So have to play with guards and direction of cutting. Much harder to blend at home hold a mirror. By the way who is this beautiful woman! OMG true black beauty!

[@dancewomyn1]

Beautiful work! Great Video.

[@deborahgeorge1939]

That is an awesome cut. I'm gonna take this to video to my barber and get this cut. Fantastic.

[@oziegarner9517]

I have short hair and love this cut. Will use this video as a guide for my barber. The cut is soft & on point for black women with short hair. Thanks ❤❤❤

[@towandasykes7159]

Mr. McIntosh I really enjoyed your video, It's nothing like a soft precise haircut. I don't cut my own her, but i know a good cut. Thanks for sharing.

[@wandawells5596]

Best tutorial I've seen on here yet!

[@terriegardner650]

I luv this look. I'm about to fired my Barber he @like he forget on how I want my haircut. I showed him this picture like 50times & he still don't get it right. What do I tell my Barber what I want on this cut.

Love it! Good job!

[@pamsmith6995]

Beautiful cut and the client is very pretty also, I am a white over 60 female and I wish I could find someone to cut my hair like you have. Enjoyed the presentation.

[@elainebmack]

Pam Smith Check out The Makeover Guy on You Tube. He is great with all types of looks. His clients are White women, and he makes them all look great. Another guy who does really extraordinary cuts on White women is a Dutch man named Theoknoopkapper, also on You Tube. I can see that you don't care about the race of the stylist or model, but I mention race only because it is easier to visualize a style when the people in the video have your same hair texture and features. Cheers!

[@Jean-kl6go]

Outstanding job! I love the way you cut her hair and you take great pride in doing so, and I also love the music in the background. Very soothing keep up the good work!

[@maryfletcher1020]

I love the work you are doing you are truly gifted

Excellent job, looks professional.

OMG yes this is the best hair video I seen for black women love it currently using this to get my hair cut ty

[@dubsakx]

attention to detail is evident. Great haircut

[@rainayoung6838]

It is so hard to find a "Artist" someone like yourself who can clipper cut a womans hair. I love this cut because the model still has a feminine, soft look along with a touch of ethnicity ! Where are you located ?!

[@kimberlysleets8562]

He seems to be located in south Carolina a barber college.

[@rainayoung6838]

Thank you for that info Kimberly. I'm in Michigan so I want to give a shout out to all those Mich barber "Artist" that cut/sculpt womens hair ... where u at !!

[@elainebmack]

Raina Young I agree! A great haircut like this does it all. It's not like you have a cut, then a style. No. The cut IS the style, so it's gotta be on point. This is so sharp! I also love the model in that she has strong, interesting features, yet she is totally feminine and beautiful.

[@rainayoung6838]

Right, any/everyone cannot wear this cut. Personally I do not think that a cut or natural fro can be copied. It must be "tailored to fit" especially with us women but only an ARTIST can capture & reveal the personality of that woman in her haircut. That's what makes it so UNIQUE and ELOQUENT. It's suppose to grab your attention and stand out. (in a positive light) I Love It.

[@elainebmack]

I wish I had the money to have this very talented man come to Saudi Arabia every two months to cut my hair. You should see the horrid short haircuts on women there. Saudi women have thick, beautiful raven tresses, but the minute hair is cut short it looks very unflattering and masculine. Part of it is the tradition of women keeping their hair long, and women are not allowed to go to male barbers for cultural reasons. I wish he could come and give regular tutorials like this one for female stylists. I would be there!

[@alsmillions]

Excellent work!

[@2012ttaylor]

This is great video for a short lady's haircut!

[@studswaggah]

Yes..this was wonderful! I watch your videos as well and I can't learn from them. Mostly because of the music playing but you do an awesome job Alsmillions I want to become a master barber but I am learning from youtube so many things that I may have to skip school...lol! Nah...but in the haircutting business...you NEVER stop learning!

[@TruthB7Told]

Great job, her cut is Banging, a stylist would have charged a grip for that cut!

[@CITYGYRL23]

OMG, this video is so what I needed. God bless you and you talent. Thank you so much, I'm on my way to a new journey.

[@mikec8381]

[@cynthialampley9523]

[@ChrissyVelvet429]

Great you are a barber who knows the difference in cutting women's hair from men's. Most men barbers on KZbin do bald fades.
