Just about to start Barber school in 2 weeks and I’ll be watching a lot of your videos

[@zacharysherry2910]

I watch at least one new haircut video every two weeks when i cut my hair (for over 15 years) and this might be the #1 video I've ever seen! Excellent technique and instruction! ❤️

[@theoneminutebarber]

Thank you Zac

[@FJB339]

I am a licensed barber in another state while getting my license in another state. I enjoy your videos and have to say out of the last 6 years in the industry, these videos are the best. Thank you 🤘

[@theoneminutebarber]

Thank you so much David 😁

[@LilyoftheShadow]

Thanks for the super easy breakdown! We haven't covered clipper cuts yet but my partner needed a cleanup before an interview and you made it super easy to get it done right. We took him a little further above the occipital since he's growing out from an undercut and ibwent with a 90° cut on top, but your tips about blending the sides and top made all the difference in bringing it together. Thanks for sharing!

[@cewtcat]

Great video :) I’m not a professional but sometimes cut my own hair in between cuts. Being able to see the lines you talk about and learning about the skull bones helped me a lot!

I've had some good feedback on the lines and arrows so will use them probably for ever.

Can you do a video discussing the fringe, the same kind of video as the one you did with the crown area (really helpful). I find the fringe the most stressfull par of any haircut and it takes me for ever. I am getting better, but it seems like I start the fringe wrong every time then have to spend a lot of time fixing it.

[@theoneminutebarber]

Definitely Jean-Francois, I've been thinking about that type of video for a long time.

[@theoneminutebarber]

Thank you Ryan 😁

[@somescottishguy191]

I know what you mean about that detailer. I don't have one myself but I was introduced to ceramic blades when I worked as a dog groomer and they were a nightmare, always the first blades to go dull and start chewing hair. Thankfully dog grooming blades are detachable so we just swapped out for steel.

[@theoneminutebarber]

I'm contemplating doing a video on it. I've been in touch with stylecraft, they couldn't care less. They are selling gimmicks to professionals at a premium price.

[@somescottishguy191]

@@theoneminutebarber the ceramic blade thing has been a problem for a while but I had no idea it crept into barbering man. Doesn’t surprise me that they’re being like this tbh. This stuff found it’s way into the cooking industry a few years back too until people realised their knifes would break and chip easily and couldn’t really be sharpened well. They’re so brittle that they get wrecked pretty quickly and in a much most disastrous fashion than good ole steel.

[@bethharvey5213]

Hello there I’m a new subscriber 👍. When I cut the top of the hair says this haircut you are doing I get scissor marks or lines ??. What is the cause and how to get line away. Good if do a video mate if can

[@theoneminutebarber]

Welcome Beth. The cause is that your sections are too big. That's almost always the cause. Try making them thinner.

[@user-ob3cx7ok4t]

I want to know the best for battalion to haircut.

[@expire5050]

big question. getting better each time at self cutting my own hair. clippers on sides and comb-scissor on the top with horizontal sections, practicing cross checking. problem is the top, back section above the occipital ridge. how can i better do this cut blind?

[@theoneminutebarber]

I'm assuming you are using 2 mirrors already, this is probably the best way to tackle it. In this video I show a way to blend it in kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3vTcqyVh7mdpdU

[@mikeuptegrove]

What’s the idea behind the flat box shape? Why is hair in middle of head shorter than front and back ? This is how you just blend of sort? But this doesn’t create layers right?

[@theoneminutebarber]

The front to back section is creating layers you are correct. I want the crown to be longer so it doesn't stand on end and the client wanted his fringe longer, you can see the section gets gradually longer towards the front. So my sections are a 'graduation' of longer layers. The box shape means there is more weight resting above the parietal ridge at the sides. Also called the block.

[@joycewee5110]

Thanks Michael! from [9.30] when cutting the top back, you lift the hair at 90 degree for the section, do you maintain at 90 degree as you work your way down? or do you lower slightly as you move down the sections? Thanks in advance for the clarification.

[@theoneminutebarber]

I am lowering the angle as I work my way down. So that I'm barely lifting the last section at all. I intend to make a video specifically all about this

[@joycewee5110]

@@theoneminutebarber many thanks Michael for the prompt and clear explanation! 👍

Btw, you did explain in one of your Udermy course, but I am just not good at working on that area. Thanks!

Hello there amazing work. Can you help me i make scissor marks when i cut the top of the hair when cutting what causes this. i haver eally good scissor sharp not blunt to cause this problem.My clipper work is good taper neck without squaring etc. my haircuts are good just scissor marks

[@theoneminutebarber]

This happens mainly on straight hair. The solution is to make your sections smaller and more precise. Almost always the culprit is the section is too big. You can also smooth them out by cross checking. Take sections from front to back and remove and bumps. This is a fine tuning method.

[@johndocherty7173]

Thanks for the reply mate Is the sections usually about a finger width apart. can you do a video of this if have time show how to get rid of the lines ?

[@theoneminutebarber]

Sure John watch the video this Friday and you will see it really clearly, I actually speak about the size of a section in the video. I use the width of my comb as the measure.

[@TInyK12]

I bought your course on Udemy to cut my boy's hair. It's very helpful and especially loved the tutorial on holding a scissor and comb. But, I've run into a problem. How do you blend in the sides easily? I tried the scissor work where you hold your finger vertical, but his hair is so light and it's difficult to get the hair between your fingers.

[@theoneminutebarber]

Thank you for joining the course tiny, I think you need to keep doing it until it feels natural. I almost always cut that way and then polish it off with scissor over comb. Focus on keeping the section small and neat and really go slowly to make sure it's clean and perfect, at the correct angle. And that you are connecting to the short hair.

[@TInyK12]

@@theoneminutebarber thanks…yeah it probably my skill with sectioning and grasping the hair. It’s a pain since his hair is so light. Turned out great though…better than the stylists that cut my boys hair!!! Thanks for replying!!!

[@pengembarayoutube5146]

can yo do with phillips clipper?

[@theoneminutebarber]

Of course. If it cuts hair you can use it. The most important thing is getting the techniques correct.

[@kerele4843]

Question: for boys (or men) that have a flat back of the head how would you cut it so that the back of the head doesn’t look too flat?

[@theoneminutebarber]

A good idea is a layered style with the hair getting progressively shorter from the crown to the occipital bone and tapering down to the the nape of the neck. That would leave More of a curve

[@369maja]

👍

[@boofyd1459]

Why wouldn’t you want to pull the hair down with the comb? Great informative video btw

[@theoneminutebarber]

If you pull the hair down with the comb at the front it stretches the hair straight, after you cut it and let go it will recoil back into its natural state. I prefer to cut the natural state.

[@boofyd1459]

Ahhhhhhh makes sense thank you so much!

[@PhanCuongLucky...]

👍👍👍👍

[@Odo55]

Do you sanitize all of your blades, combs, brushes after each use ?

[@theoneminutebarber]

I use clippercide on my clippers, combs go in the barbercide, and I have a stack of brushes so I can use one and throw it to the side and wash them all at the end of the day.

[@theoneminutebarber]

I might do a dedicated video for that subject. That knowledge is important, infact it's a cornerstone of the profession. That said I already know that anything I make will be picked apart by people who know better. In every country, or state there seems to be a different standard, here in the UK there is no regulation whatsoever, each shop sets its own standard.
