[@AngelGonzalez-xe1co]

great video i do some of this without even realizing thanks for the help

[@ShamarCarter-l5g]

Just tried this method and wow the fade came out so much better I was really struggling or really inconsistent with the bald line so thank you

[@traceypallanck5502]

I am a cosmetologest and have been doing hair for 23 years. I have worked steered towards barbering the last couple of yrs and LOVE it so much more BUT have pretty much trained myself with fades as we dont learn them in cosmetology school and i always get stuck on bald fades. Some of the guys i have worked with try to explain but they tend to bounce all over the place and i have a hard time understanding. I finally decided to jump on youtube and i found you and i am SO SO GLAD i did!! You have explained things perfectly!! Thank you so much! I DEFINETY will keep following you to learn as much as i can

[@TheRedSwallowCG]

About 500 hrs into a 600 hr barber course. Shear work I’ve figured out with almost zero issues. (Most all clients I’ve been given gentlemen that don’t care for clippers.) I’m still struggling with clipper work. Especially with fades and tapers. Your videos are extremely helpful. Hopefully I’ll be able to get this down. 🤞🏼

[@Durq199]

The way this man makes a way for us incredible what a beast !! Thanks for this blessing/lesson

[@andymarin9534]

[@nathanstatham]

Your videos are literally the best barber instructional videos on KZbin. Hands down. I love what you do man!

[@amychan4049]

i work in a barbershop with 6 other barbers, i am good with everything including braiding but i dont get to do skin fade cos i have a bit of trouble with the result being airbrushed like the others... this lesson had been priceless to me Eddie,- its very detailed, you've covered every area and explained it so clearly .... i appreciate this so much and am excited to step up to the chaleenge, you are an absolute champion brother, thank you!!!

[@YouTubeBarberAcademy]

Thanks 🙏

[@fadedbypauly5939]

You explain everything very well. Who needs barber school when we got you 😂

[@lmq3367]

From all the videos I've seen you have explained it the BEST!!!!!

[@rasilaqueen2047]

You are my favorite you tube barber and you explain things very well

[@arm6231]

This helped me a ton. I was struggling to understand how to work from 0-0.5 and what angle to hold the machine.. Your videos are really well explained and they help a lot. Thank you so much 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@YouTubeBarberAcademy]

You are welcome my friend

[@tobiasgonzalez3373]

BRO I FOUND this circle randomly INSANE, indeed u don't need a barber school WOW I LOVE U THX!!

[@byronrichards3001]

Great in-dept rundown on how to fade.Your knowledge and experience is very much appreciated.i subbed. Keep informing the people...

[@scottiestorch852]

Just stumbled upon this thanks to KZbin algorithm and thank god. All of the questions I asked from watching other barbers videos they never go in depth about certain meanings which you do. Appreciate it big dawg!

[@ThcBanaman]

I'm watching this because I'm self taught but just for my own beard. I'm trying to perfect a skin fade, but laterally from the sides (whole sideburn to jaw is 0). Got the stylecraft saber but only a cheap clipper with 0.8 mm shortest length. This already helped so much though, especially the tips on how to hold the clipper. Thanks a ton

[@tepanganiban]

This what I’m talking about. The closed half, angle and patience are what I needed. Thx

[@sandrasullivan6095]

Loving how you explain with simplicity! Thanks so much

[@massterrbarber]

Yes 🙌 thank you 🙏 SATURDAY 8:00pm live.

[@DunavLom]

Hello from Bulgaria im in 4th week now and im doing a good job with the fade started using the scisors allso i imagine if i keep this tempo for a longer time verry good teaching man keep the good work im watching every day

[@Ralphyboy660]

Watched sooo many videos... Lots of ppl give alot of detail....but not like this. very nice, thank you

[@swagpotato720]

I like this explanation of blending lines because I can see it emphasizes consistency. Doing the same blend every time, all the time. One thing that always makes me second guess myself is when the client has crazy contours, dips, or even folds in their scalp, which throws off the blend. But this way will help you treat it just the same as if you had a perfectly smooth canvas to work with. 👌 💯

[@dannypriest5909]

Thanks a million brother... from a cosmetologist trained for 20 yrs... just really getting into barbering... you have been a tremendous help and inspirational 💯

[@Belloscutz]

This is amazing content and you are an awesome instructor.

[@jaredjohnson4077]

Great video, I just passed state board, but I've felt a little overwhelmed trying to understand the guards and their functions. Thank you

[@ngontrand72]

Thanks bro, I always have problems with my bottom lines, I am going to put you tactics to use, and see how it works for me.

[@debrazil39dreads]

Thank you for this because Im a beginner and i have the hardest time taking out the initial guide line.

[@paigeofstylez]

I'm binge watching every video a few times. Consistency and repetition 😉

[@brandonisaiahsexton6533]

My man Eddie!!! Buddy I haven’t gone anywhere. Been raising my son and working. With what little time I have I still check the content brother. Coming up on a 100,000 buddy. Been a long time coming and more than well deserved. Proud of you bro. Thanks for all the teaching and time you put in. Much love my brother

[@kaleb7105]

just saw your comment on his clipper over comb video, 3 years ago you claimed to never have used clipper over comb, Now you're claiming you make 100k? that's awesome man. Did you end up getting your license? also how'd building your clientele go? what's your hours like? what did you start charging for haircuts and where are you now?

[@dominicardezzone9232]

I have been having trouble with taking the skin line out even with the trimmer, I used to click the lever up and I will move down a lottt, then it will look like a shadow, but then I have been practicing to keep it higher so there will be hardly any hair at the skin line, thank you

[@omarguzzy2009]

Really well explanation. Nice job!🔥🔥👌🏾

[@richardlira2801]

Great content and explanation. I’ve been cutting my own hair since high school and I’m 1 year away from turning 40. I’ve always done a good job but after watching many of your videos and following your steps, my fades have improved so much that even my wife noticed and complimented me, lol. Keep up the great work bro and look forward to many more of your videos

[@davidmckenna777]

Thanks so much Eddie. Can always rely on you to nail exactly what I’m wanting to know. Your channel has helped me so much. God bless brother.

[@christend25]

I would like to say think you you are a life saver I tried it yesterday and did the best fade ever 🖤🖤💪🏿💪🏿💯💯

[@ahmadnazmi4556]

Very good information fantastic it get me really excited to learn more thank you very much

[@ahmadlutfi9054]

Thank you so much for your free knowledge actually it is very useful

[@massterrbarber]

Awesome content ❤ it and I personally think that wrist flipping should be done when they master the steps first and create that barber eye 😅.The flipping of the wrist will come naturally and why flip the wrist if you can’t understand why you are doing it 😮 or where to do it and what results you will get from doing it. If you are beginning the main thing is practicing these steps and if you’re struggling to get out the line then you are a beginner if you are not consistent enough you are beginning and the whole point is that if you follow the process enough and with practice and reps you will get the line out and Eddie speaks the truth and follow his steps and you’ll get it your developing your barber eyes because you can’t cut what you don’t see. Amazing content very well spoken advice and I am a barber who has learned long hair and that was my struggle at the time I started watching KZbin academy and Eddie is teaching very good steps and process and all you have to do is be open and action,practice practice and practice.BLESSINGS and good luck to everyone.

[@sekiro8980]

Hey brother, I have always loved your content on this channel. You, Ant, and Rum have taught me alot in the pass year and half. I'm not even a full time barber yet. But thanks to you all I've progressed alot. The half attack is pretty clever technique. Ty for the "level up" as Ant would say

[@mollymartin6757]

Thank you so much! This has been the best tutorial ever. The white board really helped visually 🙌

[@talilkr5238]

Loved the video, thanks. One question, I don't understand how holding the clipper at an angle help towards the end of the line, will it not cut diagonal if I hold the clipper at an angle?

[@ErikBruh]

Can’t wait to give it a go

[@IvMacCuts]

Extremely well put 💯 I myself don't have a detachable 00000 and don't like to dull out my trimmers so I like setting my original line with the clipper closed, go under it with the trimmer's corners and hit it with the shaver under that.

[@richardpurk6306]

Easy to follow. So. On open taper to 1 guard. Using the half guard you do not make another guideline right? Your just going over your open taper guideline right? Only your doing it with half guard on

[@Kb2slick]

This made everything clear I like how you explain it

[@haileelopour3080]

This was super helpful and easy to understand! Thank you for the easy explanation and visuals. Can't wait to get back in the shop and practice what I've learned! Thank you so much.

[@ice101ownzme]

Love your content man, best channel out there for learning this stuff

[@hassanjay_]

This advice helps alot man. Thanks from UK 🙏🏽

[@jacklordsoriano9036]

Thanks for the detailed tutorial.. love how you teach.. watching from the Philippines =)

[@ahmadlutfi9054]

Can I ask always should use clippers as a C motion while doing zero fade? Thanks

[@MrCometcrusher78]

Thank you. I am having problem. I watched the videos, swear I had it down, had the tools, and still could not erase that line.

[@thehogfarm895]

Great coaching points as always, Ed! The hardest thing for me is the detailing after getting rid of guidelines. I tend to get lost and bump up the blend higher than I initially intended.

[@YouTubefreak92p]

Same ,I end up going higher and higher.

[@earlgreenidge2167]

Whats the best clipper set-up for beginners? Clipper, trimmer and shaver?

[@jbarber7993]

I’m thinking bout get a pair of gamma clippers how r they compaired to the wahls and can u use wahl guard what’s ur preference

[@Texasgirl2023]

Is this video for every clipper? Because not all clippers are the same.

[@jonathonmccormick2719]

Thank you! Was wondering if you've received the Alpha or the Evo yet?

[@xliltionnx7495]

This is great but how about the low fade,is this the best skill to apply on the lower fades

[@zeakog612]

Thanks bro. Needed every bit of that info. You broke it down so simple. I’m going to take this knowledge and use it on my next cut. Salute!

[@flavor805]

When you do the 1½ guard do you have it open or closed?

[@ScorpioPzn]

Can you please do a Curly Taper ? I have trouble with that cut with the weight line. Peace and blessings

[@Mr3Puttt]

Dope intro bro !! I feel like the only clipper that I’ve used personally that actually opens to a 1 is the masters . I feel like most wahl n babyliss don’t hav much throw on them at all

[@KevinPerez-du1pn]

Amazing tutorial

[@joeydiluccia788]

Always well explained brother! like usual 👍 listen if they had a book barbering for dummies,it would absolutely employ your technique for teaching.. you share so many things I wish I would have known as young Barber 10 years ago. And you do it in a way that's easy to understand for young Barbers. Great approach Alot of gems.💈💪💲 It doesn't matter how old you are you're always learning and always Evolving.ALLUV BROTHER

Thank you for all the education! I’m following along but I have to use Andis BGRc I can relate the two but can you do a example using their blades? I’m a hairstylist now doing men’s fades and it’s definitely a challenge! 😳

[@didiermoguel4198]

Very helpful video man thanks

[@MichaelDavis-un8ve]

FOR BEGINNERS WE NEED FOR YOU TO MOVE IN SLOW MOTION WHILE EXPLAINING EACH STEP. I think that you have been doing this so long that you are moving very quickly for newbies without realizing it. You do excellent work and we would like to do the same.

[@vanessaa3100]

The zero talk makes so much sense to me lol thanks for these tips, can’t wait to use em!

[@BIGNORM1031]

You have tutorial to do razor shape up probably to do?

[@orangerelram1982]

Sorry if been asked before, may have missed it but do you like fading down or fading up better?

[@abdulsameekanth821]

as a beginner i would stay away from putting a skin line with timmers becasue i was scared i wont be able to take it out. But now id like to try it out with this knowledge

[@terrenceroopnarine3714]

You are the man great job

[@abdulsameekanth821]

Eddie back with the heat again

[@WisdoIVI]

Very informative. ❤

[@duanemajer3453]

Correct if I am wrong, You are using And is Maters here....Open all the way with no guard is more close to a 1 than other clipper manufacturers. which would be closer to 1/2 guard closed. I know we are talking small mm's here but that's where the fade is either a success or failure....

[@dominicardezzone9232]

Is the braun series 8 a good electric shaver

[@evakleenboss2473]

This video really help me thanks bro

[@LuisHernandez-hb1fk]

Dope video . I like the Intro. What are thoughts of Fade up vs Fade down?

[@shannonkuchczynski7513]

i always get the skin line faded first so i know how much room i have to fade, my main issue is from the .5 to the 1.5 making sure is clean and getting all the lines out

[@nickmedrano9207]

Thank you so much for dropping such useful knowledge!

[@josephkauslick5034]

This is some fantastic content, Eddie! I’m doing self-cuts and cutting my housemates’ hair with some fades. You teach very well! My main question is about blending up to the hard skin line with the electric shaver. That seems to be my problem, the transition from the shaver to the trimmer line.

[@hassanlone3521]

Nah bro this is all you providing good quality content to help us

[@TH-bw2gn]

[@mohamadsyahiransofian5838]

When taking out the skin line, do you have to just keep the clipper flush and go up or do you have to use the c motion? Im having trouble removing the line ending up making another line above it

[@MultiTlp]

awesome video!! explained it perfectly. Would/could you do one like this with clipper over comb? I never know how high up to put the comb, when to go 45 when to go 90 degrees etc. Love you channel and the vids! ty!

[@MultiTlp]

@@Mike-hy8cs thank you Mike. I'm SUCH a visual learner...I sort of get what you are saying, but would LOVE to see it! I THINK I know what to do, but get scared to do it. Do you have a vid? Hoping Barber Academy will do one if not!! thanks again!

[@MultiTlp]

@@Mike-hy8cs gosh mike. tysm for the responses! I'm just a mom/grandma and cut my husbands, son and grandson's hair so I don't do a LOT of cutting but I love doing it! IF you ever cut someone's hair and do what you're saying drop me a video!! I THINK I get what you're saying tho! Helps a lot. My one grandson is getting to where he "cares" now...but he says I do a good job! In fact, his friends asked him who cut his hair! They thought he got it cut at the fancy place around here! haha! I just don't want to make a big hole in his hair!! haha!! Again, tysm!!

I am so thankful for all the info you share, it has helped me a great deal! I know you have had this question a thousand times, but I’m gonna be 1001. What clippers do you recommend starting out? I stepped out of the game for about 3 years and my clippers are like 11 yrs old and I think that is part of my problem now! I currently have whal sterling 4 cordless that I am using, and I can’t afford $500 clippers lol!

[@tubbsthabarber4507]

Thank you so much man, this is so helpful!

[@tubbsthabarber4507]

KZbin Barber Academy quick question; do you have a certain place you purchase mannequin heads from? I am wanting to get some reps in at home, especially with shear over comb but I’m not sure where to look. Any advice is appreciated, Thank you!

[@RyanAlca]

When you say pre cut the hair to a 1.5, do you mean to the parietal ridge?

[@RyanAlca]

@@KZbinBarberAcademy thank you for the reply! I cut my nephews hair last night and he wanted the top super long, like 4” with a skin fade and I had the hardest time. Had about 5” of hair all over starting off cause he hadn’t had a haircut in a year. Wish I watched this first 😂
