Top 10 Mistakes Most Beginner Barbers Make

[@liquidgeorge]

"Don't be the guy that is willing to pay $300 for an Andis cordless clipper, but won't pay $300 for the course that teaches you how to use the clippers." - That was real talk right there brother.

[@jaredvalisno7762]

Why the fuck would u pay a 300$ course if you have all the information on KZbin and Internet. No need to pay for courses it's all on the internet you just gotta be disciplined

[@andrelong1410]

@@merk1x452 for some people they do. I'm ignorant but yet statics don't lie. You buy a course into a trade or field or college because it takes money to make money. I can tell you have a brone mindset. You need that license and certification for anything you need to do.

My husband travels for work all the time and I travel with him now that our kids are grown. He wears a high and tight cut I guess it’s called, left over from his army Ranger years. I really appreciate your videos. Have been learning on him for years. (His idea) These videos will really help. Going to try to get into a course on barbering when we are home long enough. Thanks so much for the help!

I don’t comment on anything I see online, but I want to personally thank you for the new wave you are creating. It’s helping me a lot. I don’t know you and you don’t know me but I can promise you, we will work together on some projects in the future.

[@KevvThaw]

Word. I'm honored bro. Glad I could compel you to comment. And bet, see you then 💪🏾

[@gordonray]

I'm not a barber. I do many things, but primarily, I try to present myself well. How one takes care of themself tends to say a lot about them. I know so many engineers that are brilliant, but they don't take care of themselves. While they are inteligent in their own respects, their appearance does not give one confidence in their ability to lead. If one goes to court, they try to present themselves in a way that is honoring to the court in hopes they are viewed in a better manner. I like what you are doing here--you have taught me a lot about cutting my own hair and I wish blessings for you as you seem passionate about what you do. Hopefully, I'll continue getting better at cutting my own hair so I always look fresh. I truly enjoy being able to clean myself up whenever I want. I used to only get my hair cut every few months, but now, I clean everything up each week or two. Thanks for your help!

[@rayhills6474]

Your one of the barbers along with 360 and chris that I pick up game from. It's good we have you barbers to spread your knowledge in our industry..appreciate it love one!!

[@LloydM2]

Just started a barber journey from another carrier. You're on point about the business aspects in whatever field. Also that chick's hair looked dope after it was done. It was pretty before but she looked happy as hell after. When I'm through, I want that. People smiling after the cut/ shave and ready to come back in a week or three. Keep doin it man👍

[@bobbymaher2729]

You are really smart about this industry and seem very good. I’m 14 and started cutting hair about a year ago and I’m starting to improve

[@tyronsj]

I love this bro it's real facts my process was this from the beginning to now. Bro I cut my own hair took and pic and sent it to my barber and i told hes fired lol so he offered me a job. But I dont want to work in anybody's shop I make more money with the shop I build in my house. Well before this virus lol. You been a really great teacher for me through the years bro thank you

[@RohanThompson1]

With the Corona Virus pandemic going on and New York closing barbershops, I have been cutting my own hair. I clicked on the video, because I thought it was about tips for cutting hair. After watching a few minutes, I realized that it was not, but ended up watching the whole video. As a business man myself, I enjoyed the knowledge that you imparted for beginning barbers. My hope is, that many take heed to your advice, I believe it will help them greatly, if they intend to make barbering their career. Keep up the great work!

This man deserves a PHD or Novel Peace Prize within his industry! I know immediately, that he's been around the block and knows precisely what he's talking about. This kind of expertise does not come from anything other than living the mundane, barber existence day in and day out, yet paying attention to the realities that matter most in terms of observation: success, failures, and indifferent attitudes. No kidding, this man speaks the the real deal, TRUTHFUL. I know, I've been there and am now retired. Well done, lad! Keep fighting the good fight, in service to Jesus and those whom we serve each day in His name.

Super dope vid!! accurate and thorough. I've been cutting my siblings hair for a couple years, started cutting in a shop officially since last month. I plan to get my license, even though I graduate next month as an RN.

[@massterrbarber]

Ok my fellow barber I heard your take on these 10 steps and I have been explaining these steps for him to learn so awesome content and I shared it with him so he can see I’m not the only one who’s saying these things and so he can be more receptive and understanding of learning and growth and who knows he might subscribe and follow you is my hope for your advice is FACTS And he just bought brand new andis and I’m telling him that he must master with what he has already it’s not like the clippers have a secret pilot mode and does the job by itself and almost all of your strategies and he is passionate and is younger so I think you will hit home with him and he needs to hear this over and over.AMAZING CONTENT AND WE NEED MORE BARBERS LIKE YOU IN OUR INDUSTRY.

[@rattata30]

I started alone once I got my license. During barber school, it was the height of COVID, so we didn’t have clients to practice. I was lost at my first gig. My second gig was an established barber shop/ beauty salon and I only got belittled and no help but learned by watching others. My second gig my own co workers would call HR and complain that customers were upset with my work so I was let go. I was rehired cause out of the 3 ladies that worked their , only one stayed. I have no complains from HR and I’m a better barber. This industry is not for the weak, it’s tough and will eat you alive. The place is closing down and I’m ready to open my own business. I’m not the greatest barber but I’m always learning.

Thank you for your video. You're wise and experienced sir. Very informative video. Add to this the fact that you do what works for yourself in every aspect of the barber industry. There's too many variables to cover. When you do figure it out is a beautiful thing and there is no limit to how successful you can become. There's levels to this and elements you have to learn on your own that can't be taught. It does not matter how long you been doing it you always learning. I'm open minded and been in the industry for 3 decades and always learning. The number 1 factor here is loving what you do ! Many challenges come with this industry and in the end if you're not happy with it move on. Is not for everybody.

[@KevvThaw]
