How to use the LEVER to FADE | BARBER TUTORIAL for Beginners

[@tashaisaac4600]

Im currently a cosmetology student and just got my clippers and havent even been taught how to use them but ur video was very helpful.Thank u for making a video explaining how to lever and fade

[@AmB-mo5wl]

Dark Wolf This shit ain’t got nothing to do with space! Duh! 🙄

[@Tina-vb4te]

I was hoping to learn when to open and close the lever. This one is more explains what a fade is and “c” motion.

[@brandonshympliang8193]

This guy really helped me he didn't act pro at all like other barber

[@TymanHer]

You sound like you judging the other barbers for trying to look professional, which they should. You just judgemental

[@candyqueenify]

@@TymanHer I think he meant this barber does not act like a know it all or act cocky

[@Jon_N_Dunks]

@@candyqueenify agreed

[@dixiepan8538]

Brandon Shympliang i think you can replace the word “pro” with “know it all”

I am a total stranger to haircutting but after watching 2-3 tutorials and the basics of haircutting from this video it totally made me understand how it works.

[@rubberonasphalt]

On my first attempt to fade myself, i did it very slowly and didnt rush it. I was impressed how well my sides looked. Then i realised i didnt have a second big mirror to see the back of my head/neck. Had to wait 5 hours for my cousin to finish work to finish the back, but not before he studied these videos first. Lol

[@JavierPerez-se2pb]

This is the best, most informative and easy to understand video that I've ever seen on how to use the level and fading basics.

[@DavidFalla]

That’s great to hear. When I started barbering this was a harder concept to understand so I tried doing a video that everyone could understand. 💯

Lever explanation is brilliant, thank you. Lever down is open and longer cut. Lever up is closed and gives shorter cut

In my 3rd week of barber school. Bro...this is exactly the video I needed. The school is going to typically going to teach you enough to pass the state test. Beginners like myself need to pay attention at school and get that knowledge to pass your boards. But videos like these are going to build so much confidence for us to go out and start doing garage and kitchen cuts😂. Wishing the best to all y'all - Chief Qweef Also, not apologizing for any grammar mistakes that may have occurred during this statement. Have a great day.

You're definitely not the only one. Lots of people I know are rocking a buzz cut right now lol. I've been cutting my hair for years. Videos like this were a huge help

I totally agree with what you said about making teaching a fun thing more than it is a job because students are more open minded nowadays but can’t fully develop with the same old boring books and lectures, awesome video btw really informative

[@meanbean98]

I've been doing hair for almost 35 years and your right they never teach you what the lever is for thank god I knew after teaching myself but bc I haven't done men's haircuts in a while I wanted to get a new set of clippers and somehow got here glad you posted this to help me remember but I still do beautiful work keep the videos coming I do hair a lot on women my specialty guys were for years but its good to get a brush-up... I also learned from a barber back in the day really taught me a lot especially if someone had on a topay

[@modegolf]

This is the BEST fading video ever! I have watched many KZbin videos about fading and they all left me confused. You have explained fading fundamentals clearly and thoroughly. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. I am now confident to try my first fade!

This was such a great video. Thank you so much for really explaining the open & closed guard. I've watched many videos that still confused me. This was by far one of the best explanations I've came across. One question though? The clippers I have snag my hair when the guard is open. Is it the quality of my clippers? If so, which clippers do you highly recommend?

first time experience could be daunting and therefrom a nightmare. esp. when they grow younger where they need strict haircut for school if the school requires the studs to do so and they deny that- could be troubling.Wish you all the luck and help him learn to love getting haircuts from a young age.
