You really should understand the basics of fading hair. In the barber shop you will confront many haircuts. From fine hair with low density to course hair with high density. Do you have a system for handling the majority? You should at the very least have you tools setup correctly zero gapped and set back. The minimum setup you should have is 2 clippers 2 trimmers to be able to hit every length with ease.

How often do you change out your clipper, trimmer and foil shaver blades? Also have you ever tried a taper blade on the Wahl Magic Clips instead of the fade blade?

[@YouTubeBarberAcademy]

Yes, and I would encourage you to have at least one clipper set up with a taper blade

[@davidberry9226]

@@KZbinBarberAcademy how often do you change out your clipper, trimmer and foil shaver blades? Or, do you already have a video posted on that topic?

Please Please your Prescence is needed in Atlanta from their not being much diversity in shops and just to honing in on just steps to succeed no matter the hair texture. I am definitely interested in the class as well as I am sure my coworkers will be interested in. You will see that is as progressive as Atlanta my seem or claim, to be it is not, there is a big disconnect here when it comes to schools first and also shops. Its either you cut in a booth rental shop where when it comes to straight hair is a clear challenge and the other you cut in a commission-based shop where doing textured hair is a challenge but biggest of all you are not making all your money and feeling stuck because the gap is not bridged. So please help brother.
