Episode 3: THE BEST BARBER TOOLS You'll Need!

[@brich3368]

Great content, I didn't know about clippers under 7500 RPM's when it was happening, thanks for educating me. Keep up the great work.

[@Staygold31]

thank you! and yesss me too... I was stuck on that for a hot minute ...like what is wrong with me LOL and why is this happening ...

[@Ajuan4236]

New Sub you just educated me on the RPM’s thank you 🙏 this just came in the clutch !

[@georgcantor7172]

I have an old non-electric Oster manual clipper (1940s?) that works by opening and squeezing your hand, in order to make the blades go back and forth. I got it on ebay, and it's definitely under 7500 RPMs. :D

[@javierthebarber4550]

About to watch and already know it gonna be good 😂💯💯

[@Staygold31]

Hahahaha yesss I’m working on better title thumbnails and adding more visuals for y’all 🙌🏼😂❤️

[@TatazRivera]

Finally got your clipper and Love the fade blade. I also have the gold with a taper blade. Both work well for different styles but babyliss is doing their thing! I also got to meet you at the vegas expo. You where so chill!

[@Staygold31]

Hi Thomas!! Thats great feedback to hear!! I'm glad you are enjoying the tools. I love that set up tho..I have each clipper with a different blade for different use. awh I miss the hairshows so muchhhh. Hope is all is good during this time and thank you again for watching!

[@TatazRivera]

@@Staygold31 Yeah, exactly! Both work well in different ways. Same! Had tickets for Barbercon in LA this Sunday but it got postponed but definitely cant wait to be back!

[@Staygold31]

OMG I knowww what a bummer! Hopefully all goes well when its back on

[@TatazRivera]

@@Staygold31 Definitely! Still looking forward to it just hope they decide to put it back on when everything is safer

[@flacofadez]

Nice clean

[@albertalberto2288]

Sofie really underrated! She The Best barber in LA yet she just has 17k subs

[@Staygold31]

thanks man! it's a struggle, but im here and back LOL

[@alexkiaii6548]

you know somebody´s not the best when they lack common decency and humbleness :/ theres a reason for the low sub count, many of her opinions are never factual and tends to go against the grain to be controversal :(

[@user-dm6qw6kx5e]

My first ever clippers jjst got them the other day babyliss silver pro fx

[@Rakhali6767]

I just wanted to comment on the double foil shaver . I love it BUT . I had to put tape around the body because everytime i woulf use it the relfection of it hitting the light would blind me xD thats all .

[@Staygold31]

ahhh yes that may happen depending where the light is. get a matte colored one..and you'll be good. comes in black, white, or red thats matte

[@xxmr_bluntmanxx9499]

[@Staygold31]

Thank you for watching!! I know there's so many to choose from and I've always loved testing out new ones to understand them. It's been fun to gather information and help people pick the best ones that are easiest to learn!

[@asifsalmani8739]

Nice clippers

[@jonathanmilne7405]

Another great episode, Sofie interviewing Sofie, I like it! 😁 Extremely informative, appreciate you sharing your knowledge! Looking forward to the next episode!

[@Staygold31]

Thanks Jonathan!! I'm stoked for the next one too! Any certain topics, you'd like to hear more about ? I might be doing one soon on how to become a platform educator.

[@jonathanmilne7405]

Sofie StayGold I would love you to do an episode on that, that is my dream to one day get to be a platform artist, and traveling supposed artist! Maybe you could talk more about how the relationship between you and Babyliss came to be!

[@traianivanescu24]

Thank you for this video.

[@Staygold31]

My pleasure!

[@kelyotseda9756]

wow,, so very nice clippers,, 👏👏✂️✂️

[@Staygold31]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@TMAJOR003]

I came across you last year on here... You are a dope female barber... I wish it were more women making barbering videos being it is a lot who have the talent... Appreciate you for stepping up and giving your advise and knowledge of this game... Those Babyliss clippers and trimmers look dope and have been getting great reviews... I also didn't know about the 7,500 rpm issue either... Keep blessing us with game... Salute!!!

[@Staygold31]

Wow! thanks so much for that! :D Yes, the 7500 RPM speeds are so important. I think I'll have of my team members featured in a future video to really explain further specs of clipper technology. I'm sure in due time, there will be more women on this platform! I see a lot of them on IG. Eventually, they'll make their way over

[@Kenshi-Himrua]

Omg that her babyliss 4 I’m gonna get it next time soon love it

[@Staygold31]

You will love it! I’m excited for you to grab a pair!

[@BoostAzul_FK8]

Great 👍🏼 informative video!

[@Staygold31]

Thanks Alex for tuning in!

[@jenniferrodriguez3684]

If I’m cutting from a double zero to a one what would be the best clippers to fade away the line

[@Staygold31]

i'm not sure what a double zero means ...if thats foil shaver close or jsut trimmer level short..but regardless you need a trimmer AND clipper to blend super tight hair. What I spoke about for babyliss tools in this video is exactly what i recommend.

[@yoursweetestbee]

I need these yellow😍

[@Staygold31]

They're so dope! I hope you get yourself a pair sometime soon!

[@yoursweetestbee]

I’m hoping yellow with black🎶 Black and yellow Black and yellow🎶😎

[@juvalca8007]

I also have the Oster 76. I only bought it because everybody had it. Back 10 yeras ago!... >

[@Staygold31]

LOL! I hear ya...been there as well!! There's easier systems now! thank god for new technology!

[@littlelamb-gospelartiste360]

I'm watching you from Jamaica

[@Staygold31]

Wow i appreciate u for tuning in!

[@marvelfrank5444]

Can you zero gap the fading clipper?

[@Staygold31]

YES! new video on this I'll drop Saturday! Before and after on adjusting black fx trimmer and clipper

[@patrickrichardjoseph9176]

Awesome video 👍 contents are really helpful, thanks 😇

[@marcosarriola8152]

What’s good sofie I’m Marcos im a 13 yr old barber your vids help me so much 🔥🙏💈

[@Staygold31]

Hey little homie! I’m so happy to hear that! Keep checking back! Gona make sure to give u guys helpful content to help u succeed!

[@marcosarriola8152]

Sofie StayGold thx a lot 🙏💯💈

[@Rakhali6767]

I needed a new clipper , always used the wahl designer but stopped performing well , then i ordered the legend . I find it misses hairs when shaving and is heavy so im going to return it and i ordered babyliss black fx :D

[@Staygold31]

yeah I've used both of those before...you won't go wrong with the black fx. :D

[@sbiv3413]

I'm Visual, i.e. Anything, but Silver. There's this NEW BaByliss Series, "Frank Da Barber", that comes in Green, Purple, and Red. Are either of these as Effective as the Originals (Non-Series) or Not?? Otherwise, should I just go with Old-Faithful...the Andis II Outliners? Can you recommend the Best online-store/website/Box-Store(front), without worrying about the Price variations/disparities, as well as, Quality?? Also, I've seen more Negative Reviews about the FX788's than the 787's. WHY is that??

[@kristenthebarber2505]

Going to purchase NOW! I wish u had links to these tools lol

[@Staygold31]

There's not really one link tho. BaByliss PRO distributes to many places so you will have to check with your local shops like Cosmoprof or better yet, super local barber supply stores I think have more availability!

[@madisonjohndrow7775]

Could you comment the sky of the trimmers please for cosmoprof if possible ? Thank you!

[@Staygold31]

I couldn't find a link, you'd probably have to make an account and check back when its in stock, but I would check other barber sites like clipperdepot.com (we trust) I believe there's more sites..I couldn't tell you which is legit off the top of my head, but it would be safe to read up on some reviews on some sellers and check that way also

[@madisonjohndrow7775]

Sofie StayGold okay perfect I work at cosmo and just wanted to have it in stock and to get my hands on a pair as well! Thank you!’

[@kennethphillip..ronan.8857]

That wat I got sophie wahl taper .no trimmer.

[@mohamedali-bl8uh]

Thanks once again, great video, was thinking about stepping my Game up.... I like your wolverine color edit. Hope they wont coast me to much for shipping all the to Dubai... Blesss...

[@Staygold31]

Thank you for watching! Wolverine clipper pops. I always see my clients make a comment🤩

[@mohamedali-bl8uh]

@@Staygold31 i followed you on instagram, i inboxed you @snapp_999 hola when u can... stay safe....

[@billyrears]

Where should I go to buy?

[@rpt408]

This is off topic but can you please do a tutorial on shaving a man's beard?? Seems like barbers are steering clear of that especially with social media, everyone wants to see that crispy fade/lineup. Great video as always! 🙌

[@yoyosvlogs]

Where can I go to like buy stuff cheap or idk like or were can I go learn? Like you tubers or something because I’m 16 and been cutting since the begging of the year

[@DAMPSSAGE]

Never knew about the RPM dayum

[@Staygold31]

foreal tho..me too! when I found out..I was like mind blown lol and my whole knowledge of that experience seemed to make more sense lol

[@DAMPSSAGE]

@@Staygold31 Lol you know how many times I bought new wahl blades or even clippers because I thought the battery was just wearing out... This probably should be taught in barber school if it already isn't

[@Staygold31]

OMG me too. I went through this the most with Wahl balding. LOL I replaced it at least 3 times. I agree, there should be a section on understanding some basic specs of the tools

[@padureancalin8096]

Why are these clippers like the Custom FX not available in Europe?

[@Staygold31]

Different market. Babyliss Pro is separated by region. USA runs separately than other countries. There’s some versions USA has that Europe eventually adapts over as well. The leaders for our company are in USA 😄

[@jamesharris6163]

Hi Sofie, awesome content for Australia! This might be a daft question but can the skeleton or fx cordless trimmer be used solely for beard and stubble shaping and upkeep? I wet shave my head so don’t need to worry about topside but I want to invest in a worthwhile product - I’ve used wahl in the past and they’ve been ok but not blown me away in their precision or usability

[@conradtaylor29]

Yes, this is my first video on getting the right tooling to cut-my-own hair. Thus, I really like your point about getting something that has good high quality. When I went to the barber, I would go with a ball/skin-fade. Would you have any recommendations for cutting your own hair? Love the channel, thanks so much, and please do keep the videos coming because I'm finding the information extremely helpful. 🙏🏾👍🏾🙏🏾👍🏾

[@Staygold31]

Thanks so much for tuning in! I have a video "Barber tutorial | Self Cut taper " I did on myself to show sort of an at home cut!

[@albertalberto2288]

Can i start with some cheaper equipment!? Im scared of getting very expensive things and not having clients

[@Staygold31]

You can, but with cheap tools, they'll eventually break and you'll have to replace them. You only get better as you get to know your tools better, so wouldn't you want something to last longer?

[@Cloyalking]

hey sofia i was woundering how much experience do you have cutting 540&720 waves?

[@Staygold31]

Not much experience with waves! I've only done it a couple times with the 360 ones

[@RichOffPnp]

Do u have a promo code

[@rebeccabenz6965]

I got the gold ones but they are so heavy and bulky they're hard to work with, even the trimmers.

[@Staygold31]

Every user has a different experience. Try the Fx3 Collection. lighter weight, slimmer bodies...more ergonomic feeling in the hands.

[@peso5838]

Clippers are so expensive in Canada 😭 Im currently using the Andis Envy's and T-outliner for all my clients cuts. Hopefully one day ill have to enough for the babyliss clipper set (It's $550 here 😭), but it's absolutely beautiful! Great video Sofie, thank you for your honest opinion

[@Staygold31]

those custom prices are wild. We trip out on Austrailia price too its like quadruple lol I hope you can experience Babyliss too! wait the custom fx is available for Canada. Check that out on the app. it recently launched for the country

[@anthonylopresti3078]

Everyone should start out using the andis master (corded) for so many reasons.. Just learn that clipper first before moving on because if u can master that clipper u can basically use anything.. And you’ll be more appreciative of the cordless when it’s time too there is a difference between cordless masters and corded other than price too.. Namely the sound. Look.. ANDIS MASTERS FIRST than anything else you’ll understand why as u go

[@Staygold31]

Yeah i had to do this 11 years ago but i don’t think it needs to continue that way lol there’s better tools now that are way lighter than those with better blades and cordLess. I got rid of the masters as soon i found something lighter for me back then esp doing cuts for 8-12 hour shifts. They will kill your hands after some time.

[@MrColimon25]

Babyliss, wahl, andis cordless clippers have horrible battery life. I would recomendo 50 caiber or ergo gamma + clipper they last me all day and they cut threw bulk real nice and they're really quite. J give evey lipoee a chance its preference at the end of the day the only thing i would buy from babyliss is the shaver and the skeleton trimmers.

[@jaimelouis1365]

Great 😉

[@alejandroricardez4447]

[@josuehernandez097]

I love hair cuts

[@denib143]

wooohooo 600th like!

[@Infedelle]

What techniques do you use in the fade to go from the shaver to the zero onde the clipper with the babyliss since the blade it thicker then for example a magic clip.. To eliminate the line!?

[@Staygold31]

great question! I would use any of the trimmers on the top right hand corner of the thumbnail. Babyliss Gold, silver, or rose gold fx trimmer. A zero-gapped one will very much do the trick!

[@Infedelle]

@@Staygold31 and you don't zero gap the trimmer!?

[@Staygold31]

its def a preference of choice, but I personally gap ALL of my tools

[@Infedelle]
