💈 Getting Started in Barbering? 💈 Interviewing my newest barber!

[@WhySoHAM]

Coming up on my seventh month as a licensed barber. Repetition is key and don’t be too hard on yourself.

[@Seancutshair]

Yes exactly!

how old are you ? how much you make a week?

[@xDaesongRose]

I wanna go into barber school after I finish Uni but one thing I worry about are walk-ins man. what if someone asks for what I thought was an easy cut and then messes them up bad, or I don't know lol. and then id get fired and then maybe turn into dust??

[@myyt3824]

I remember being in cosmo school. We started on men's cutting and my dad was my model. We were taught strictly clipper over comb. No guards. I was so scared I was going to screw it up because it's so close to the head and it seemed hard to hide a mistake. It took me a solid 18 months of doing only men's hair to feel like I could show up to work and tackle anything that sat in my chair with quality and precision. That's a long dang time lol but it was so worth it. I kind of wish I had gone to barber school instead, but I'm ok with not using a straight razor.

[@Seancutshair]

Yeah it takes a while to get that versatile! Glad you got there 🙌🏻

[@donmccoy4730]

This was a fun watch. The thing that I’ve noticed throughout the industry is a lack of detailed explanations of the fundamentals. This is why I was so blown away by your explanation of the purpose of the 1.5/.5 guard (different video). Keep up the great work.

[@Seancutshair]

Love it. That’s me for the feedback and of course I will!

Hey Sean, I’m about to do a video shoot in a barbershop and I’m worried about the audio. Specifically with the clippers and how to make sure everyone’s voice is clear. This video is probably the best example of keeping it pro and I’d appreciate if you can give me some tips.

But I haven’t let that stop me. My first cut was solid, it wasn’t great, but it was good. So I feel what he’s saying about just go and it’ll be over before I know it, cause I wish I could. But I’m just gonna pave my own path and I hope other people out there will too.

[@wolf_thebarber1310]

How do your new barbers start with there prices? Do you decide? Like beginners from school do they get to pick their prices ? I’m asking bc I just opened a shop and it’s chair rental, but I had someone come in without any clientele and wanted to charge 40$ a cut even with walk ins, I had to let them go bc of many reasons but that was the one thing I really didn’t know how to do better as a boss. I have a full clientele and that’s why I charge my price but I feel beginners or no clientele should be cheaper to build there books.

[@Seancutshair]

We have a base shop price I have everyone start at. Once they go to appointments we have a starting price there as well. Then I just work with them if they want to raise their price

[@wolf_thebarber1310]

@@Seancutshair thank you! I think this would make for a great video, also how to get barbers to clean as well, I always hear “it’s chair rental so all I have to worry about is my chair” but I feel everyone should chip in.

Hey Sean! I’m currently a barber in the Uk I have been working in a shop now for nearly a year it’s a small shop but super busy. We do commission here which is 50% the week just gone I cut 65 heads in a 5 day week and don’t get me wrong the money is good (£20 for a normal cut a little more for a skin fade) but I just can’t help but feel I’ve already hit a ceiling. Like I can’t physically do many more hair cuts. Any advice on how to progress ? I know chair rent is an option but the owners don’t seem keen anyone with advice is much appreciated.

[@Seancutshair]

Yeah commission isn’t something I’ve ever done but sounds rough. Imagine you were doing the same but paying chair rent you’d be making 30% more! I’d look into that or potentially raising prices. I don’t know if that’s an option or not.
