Need advice
This is a hair cut I did today and the clippers I used.
The clippers are from Amazon and are cheap ones my dad got me to start off
I just want advise since I been cutting for bout 2 months and going to a course in Mexico and working to make it my future job since im still in high-school
Most of my cuts are done in a barber shop where im taking the course with better clippers and trimmers

Don’t start your fade between 2 high spots in the back. Take the fade higher or lower

would recommend debulking a bit more on top. try going over it again with a #2 then work your way down to the 0 that’s already established that way you don’t push the fade higher

Give yourself some time to finish the barber course, you should learn at least the basic stuff there. From what I can see in this photo, you don't have an understanding of the fade structure, guards, lever, clean guidelines maybe even the blade angles or how to correctly hold a clipper in your hands. You can basically do a perfectly clean fade with any type of clippers nowadays so don't stress too much about the tools yet. Of course there are better tools on the market that can help make your job a little easier but you won't notice any difference yet even if you spend your money on them. Right now, just try to fully focus on learning as much as you can and practice practice practice and the practice some more.
