He Got a Hair & Beard TRANSFORMATION After “Struggling To Go The Barbers”

[@RegalGentleman]

We loved this open and honest chat between Alexi and Dan! ❤ This actually leads on well to something we were thinking of... We're thinking of starting a new series where you can nominate someone to be in the chair who you feel deserves it! What do you think? Maybe it's someone that has had a hard time recently, maybe they're struggling to afford a haircut at the moment or maybe they do a tough job that deserves some recognition! Obviously only catch is they'd have to be happy to be filmed! We haven't created a new page yet, but if you think that series sounds good and that it sounds like that someone you know, apply for them via our normal application form and just note in the main description who it's for and why! regalgentleman.com/pages/appear-in-our-videos

[@aleset1]

What a wonderful idea!!! If I was in the UK I would nominate my son but being in the US well....

[@cree_VI]

That's really good idea, cause there are some people who need just little help, advice, little push and it really change a lot and inspiring don't give up.

[@arelendil7]

You are kind, I would have shave the cheeks a bit and trim the beard a little bit more :)

[@younkm1]

Wish I lived need London! I would nominated my boyfriend. He has great thick hair and might need help with maintenance tips. Wish I new a place near Wash. D. C. I'd take him there.

[@SusanHogge-r8h]

Dan talks too much and I am bored

[@pucheumaureen1487]

Dan you are like a hidden gem. Alexis probably left you salon feeling a million dollars, not only because of his hair cut, but because of the exchange you had. If I was a man , I would certainly track down your salon and find you for a haircut. You have amazing talent! I think your idea for a new series is so thoughtful! Great idea.

[@Jumping_timelines]

I got teared up hearing his "why" on not going to the barber as often. I was hit by a semi 9 years ago and have had four spinal surgeries, but, as bad as the physical injury I suddenly have social anxiety and I completely understood him. 😢 This was the therapy he needed along with the fantastic cut. You're amazing, your clients are so blessed with your kind spirit. ❤

[@peters3724]

Me too 4 surgeries in alongside the social anxiety but we gotta keep fighting through each day

[@marymary5494]

These two were chatting like they’d been friends for years. Really lovely guy. I really wish Alexi continues to progress with his health and well-being. Fabulous results Dan.

[@tinae8433]

I hope Alexi sees these messages. He is VERY handsome. I love the cut and his eyebrows are fabulous!!!! I agree with some of the other comments about the beard. Looks better when tidy. Would love to see the cheeks and neck cleaned up completely. The sharper lines would look amazing with his dark hair. Show those beautiful eyes!!! Let yourself shine, Alexi!!!! VERY ATTRACTIVE MAN ❤

[@suewilkinson2439]

Melting here. How kind was Dan in this video, so patient and caring . I bet Alexi feels like a million dollars! One of my favourite ones to date!

[@RegalGentleman]

Thank you so much! Loved the conversation in this one!

[@saidzueke4782]

He talks to much.

[@mj3845]

The beard is too much for his face. The eyebrows need shaping too. The guy needs to be willing to maintain his appearance.

[@carollkline7073]

[@elton6031]

​@mj3845 If he feels comfortable with his look, then that is all that matters. Dealing with mental health stuff is hard and it's not so easy to keep yourself looking good for others when you're not feeling good inside.

[@robbee1205]

He looks so much better, especially uncovering his lips! A little grooming/pampering works wonders for self esteem!

[@petersavieri]

Dan, you are so good at speaking to all kinds of people. I think your warmth and sensitivity, and your thorough explanations, were of really lasting value to Alexi. A real positive experience and an example of healthy self care. It’s very telling that he studies all the curly hair tips and shares them with his sister to help her, without really applying them to himself. Men aren’t often helped toward self love. They’re encouraged to project ego, but real applied love and care for the self, inside and out, is so important, and quite rare. Sometimes a haircut is so much more.

[@TobeySharpe]

Your kindness radiated throughout this appointment with Alexi. He was able to stay calm and comfortable Alexi has joined Jamie as my favorite segments so far.

[@swysocki3920]

Alexi looks great! The explanation about building up the cut really made sense and helped others see the vision. What struck me most was the honest collaboration between both of you.

[@lolaottinger3038]

Dan, this might be the sweetest client you’ve ever had! And he’s there with his sister! I love that! And he looks great!

[@Susan-cooks]

Dan just being himself addresses Alexi's struggle before it's even a known factor. You never know what someone is dealing with and Dan's kindness and non-judgmental advice makes Alexi comfortable enough to accept Dan's advice. Kudos to Dan for his kindness and to Alexi for being open to putting himself in Dan's capable hands!

[@RegalGentleman]

❤️

[@cynthias5014]

The beard needs to go.

[@jimturner7222]

Dan is super intuitive to the needs of the customer. May Alexi get rid of the things that he is fighting.

[@lisamannino4556]

His beard and mustache look better, but I would’ve liked to seen him shaved down a bit more. However, he looks amazing. Hopefully he’ll continue to have you cut his hair again. You are truly talented. ♥️

[@riatiley8549]

I agree

[@gjalameda6686]

Alexis is so sweet, and Dan made a positive impact on how he views himself in a positive light. I think Alexi looks great. It takes courage to be filmed and open with feelings about yourself. Bravo Alexi.

[@Navillus02]

I really like that you do exactly what the customer wants. He looks great!!

[@Claire-h5t]

What a lovely man in the chair, and a lovely chat. Great job Dan! ❤ xx

[@micheladonofrio2285]

The bushy beard is taking away from his look if you ask me. A trimmed beard would make a world of difference in my opinion. Glad to see that he was open to trimming that beard but not short enough if you ask me.

[@c_mendes]

Agreed

[@louist5738]

Shorten the stash and razor the cheeks imo

[@oldschool8330]

Beard is way too big

[@alisonlepley666]

He might have chubby chops under that beard !

[@jamesdoakes4956]

@@alisonlepley666the beards do puffy that taking it down more would literally lessen the weight on his cheeks

[@maxmccammond8914]

He will be a customer for life, that was great! Made a friend too!

[@adrianboutsias2437]

Alexi is absolutely delightful, what a gentleman. Great cut.

[@CissyBrazil]

I would think cleaning up the cheeks would make his beard also look better.

[@michaelfinglas7884]

One of my favourite cuts to watch. Alexei seems like such a genuine and nice guy and you could tell how much it meant to him to get a cut from Dan and a result that he was happy with 🙏 All the best Alexei and great work as always Dan

[@elainecoley-evans6393]

Such a lovely guy. I wish he’d had his beard styled more and left a bit more of his hair. Happy he’s happy though. Great work again Dan

[@BeforeThisNovember]

You wish? He looks great

[@patriciajunedenney371]

I agree. Beard needed to be trimmed more if hair that short.

[@Lala_B]

Chef’s kiss!❤. The trimmed beard is where it’s at. The prior Mushroom cloud haircut did not suit him. Now he’s a total hunk!!❤

[@teddieryan2288]

I find your videos both informative and relaxing. I am an eighty-three year old woman who cut my husband’s and children’s hair for many years since we lived in rather rural areas. I remember my grandmother telling me that she also cut her family’s hair for the same reason. Thanks.

[@myraholmes8702]

This exchange was just the best. You are so gentle with your clients, Dan.😊

[@janreason1518]

This man looks amazing. Dan you have such a gift of bringing out the best in people.

[@aleset1]

How wonderful!!! Dan you are the kindest magician when it comes to hair. You must have the best heart in the world. Cheers my man from Tulsa, Oklahoma and a 71 year old grandma that watches all your videos. Thank you for helping this young man.🥰

[@matureyoungman]

You lifted his spirits so much. As someone who struggles with depression and anxiety, I find that it is easy to fall into the belief that the world (folks who don't know you from Adam, especially) wants you to be a sad, miserable bloke. But the world wants you to feel good about yourself and to have a sense of buoyancy

[@willbe939]

The chemistry between Dan and Alexi is wonderful to watch. It shows trust on Alexis side and kindness on Dans. Both should feel really good free this experience. Dan did a great job and Alexi looks great! One of the top videos!

[@parmahmac6073]

What a sweet guy. He looks great. Well done, Dan.

[@gypsygirltarot2451]

I love how Dan totally pays attention to what his client tells him. I love his nonjudgmental style and kindness too.

[@MaryLove-d5w]

Just trimming the beard but not going overboard has made a huge difference. He has amazing eyes, so beautiful. Dan so good at making the men look so handsome. ❤

[@carmelarthurs2438]

Wonderful transformation, and what a lovely guy, Dan you are so patient and respectful to your clients, when you say it's your hobby, that makes perfect sense, love your videos and I watch at every opportunity.... you truly have a gift with people.

[@sanditowns1362]

Wow, he looks soooo much better now!! Amazing job again Dan!!!

[@clefnoteproductions6695]

I love his thorough explanation to each client. He really listens. 😊

[@Huss417]

I really hope this boosts his confidence.

[@matureyoungman]

he isn't lacking any to begin with mate

[@janicelaurin7263]

The haircut looks awesome!! Great transformation. I wish he would have elected to have more of his beard trimmed. That beard is massive, and we can't see his face. I think food must fall in his beard and mustache while eating. But the beard trim you did was an improvement. He is a good-looking man, and I would love to see his face. It would be great to see him come back to you for a major beard/mustache trim. Even if he had it trimmed like yours, I think it would be a stunning look and change for him. Oh, and an eyebrow trim. I would love to watch if he comes back to you for that.

[@giannishen]

Thanks a lot for sharing, really great job! 👍😄👏

[@missmarplesapprentice5219]

Good vibes to see this lovely young man's beautiful smile, his whole face lights up. Try not to deprive the world of your smile Alexi. Your smile made my day.

[@pimpmyride7278]

He’s rugged and handsome. I can’t believe he is allowing you to film. I know it took a lot for him to even go. I hope he overcomes all that plagues him.

[@RegalGentleman]

Alexi was so great! Really amazing that he felt comfortable enough to come and open up!

[@martinvegas1327]

Looked good👍

[@scarletmontana7]

Dan you are so empathic with your clients and you did a really good job here. You did actually what he asked for and respected his wishes. You would be fantastic with clients who have Autism.

[@traveldreamer4616]

This style gave fantastic results for the client. Excellent cut to showcase his amazing hair. Great curl pattern. Well done.

[@andrewbillington2337]

You only have to look in his eyes to see how much this has done for him.

[@JulieBlichmann]

Wow!! What a transformation! I can relate to what you said about people's view of a price point for your work. As a photographer, people often complain about the cost of Session fees, because they think all I do is press a button!

[@stephaniegoode4396]

Absolutely one of my favorite videos! Wonderful job! Alexis, you look amazing! Great look!

Took him from a rugged seaman to a king Richard the lion hearted! Very well done!

[@younkm1]

Alexi looks so much younger. I think you found your "new you". Thank you both for reminding us that we always need to work on improving ourselves. Doesn't mean we need a new hair style every month but keep learning something new every day

[@jeremymapa5498]

This guy is my favorite guest! Just a genuinely warm and intelligent person.

[@dianawortman4994]

He is such a delightful looking man! I couldn't imagine any other style looking more handsome on him. For sure, keeping your beard trimmed shorter is a game changer, and I love the more natural (no sharp edges on his beard), although some lite graduated shaving at the throat would look good too. Love, love, look the look! You deserve to allow yourself some self-care, it is essential to feeling and being healthy mentally as well as physically. Wise decision to have visited the Regal Gentleman. You look quite handsome. 😊

Great cuts always make the difference. Well done. Your unique way of explaining things really helps build confidence, and, of course the results speak for themselves. Bravo!

[@imhooks]

What a fantastic look you gave him. I've seen a handful of people not really smile after their cuts but he certainly did. Hopefully it helps with his confidence and he stays with it. Epic beard and would be even more epic if he had some sharp lines at the neck and cheeks.

[@davidberry9226]

Dan question: when you started your length at the temple, how did you know that it would eventually meet into the length you cut on the top? How did you know how much over direction to use in order for it to match up to the top? Is it just experience? Btw one of the best consults I've heard. Mad respect to your consultation skills. They really help.

[@nigelandrews5617]
