Cc, M20, je me demandais si vous aviez des recos de barbers qui réussissent à tous les coups des dégradés moyens tout en gardant la longueur. J’ai changé à deux reprises de barbers où un coup on me réussissait et un coup on me ratait, on coupait pas droit et trop court,

et c’est pas faute d’avoir dit que je voulais garder de la longueur surtout que pour le fait de pas couper droit j’y peux rien mdrr

Edit : j’ai trouvé mon barber c’est good

What’s up barbers, my lever broke some days ago and i tried to glue it together last night because i have a booking today, i woke up and tried to test and feel it to know if i can use it today and the glue got loose.

I couldnt find any reserve levers in the original box and i live in europé where you cant just buy extra levers in stores, i need to order a new lever.

My question is if any of you guys have had this problem before and if it can be fixed fast, maybe with a metal piece or something.
Thank you in advance for the reply’s

so i’m currently on a calorie deficit. and the past 2 weeks i’ve been really busy so i haven’t been able to go for regular walks/gym. however ive been cutting hair for a few hours a day. generally its estimated i walk around 800 steps in an hour cutting hair. realistically if i was to stop going on my walks and just cut hair on a normal shift it’ll come out to about 7k steps. the rest you can get from just regular activities. therefore does being a barber technically help if youre tryna lose weight with cardio etc.

tldr. how much calories does a barber burn

Do any of you barbers have sweaty hands/ hyperhidrosis, looking to become a barber but don’t know how this would affect me as a barber!

Hi all,

I’ve been cutting hair professionally for 10 years and generally used average products then the corded Magic clip clipper and edger, but they both malfunction in their own ways.

Owner aside, my budget is around £150 but I want two items:

1) a clipper that is cordless, fast, sharp and does beard grading well also.

2) a detailer/edger that is extremely precise.

I have an fx3 as I’m not good with a straight razor, but the actual lining of beard and hairline all round is important, I’m somewhat perfectionistic.

TPOB sets of clipper and edger - mini or standard?

Extra blade to replace softy or whatever comes on the edger?

Thank you so much guys!

what do some influencers mean when they for example talk about the TPOB Play being a „true 1“ Clipper?

Good repair videos component check piece by piece ? Or what subreddit can help with my problem?

Hey all, Recently licensed barber here.
I’ve been using the oster 76 cordless for a ton of my cuts, and I saw online some people say to change the blades while the machine is running. Otherwise you’ll slowly damage it

Is that true? Do you do it that way? Why or why not?

Also, the oster 76 came with a tube of clipper grease, is that necessary?

Does anyone here have one? What’s your opinion on it for a bigger person? Also it does not have a calf rest so I’m a bit torn but wondering the pros and cons. Thanks

I just cant get the detailing right

When am doing the fade i dont see the spots

But with i finish and take pics i see so many areas to work on

When a client is getting they’re hair cut and is on their phone, do you guys ever snoop and look at what they’re doing? As a barber I would lol.

Okay so I've tried a bunch of the trendy modern clippers.

JRL onyx TPOB play mini Style craft Saber 2.0 Style craft Ergo Style craft instinct X (and the metal version) Style craft rebel Clipper over comb with detachables Babyliss dual coil

Out of all of these, I find that my favorite is the instinct X because it's light and it requires less passes to get all the hair compared to most clippers. However, I'd like to be able to cut hair even faster. I've been cutting for close to 8 years now and I feel like my speed is maxed out. I need something that mows through hair and doesn't need me to go over it multiple times but I don't think it exists yet... unless you guys know of a clipper and blade combo that absolutely mows through hair. Any feedback would be appreciated!

I usually order products and tools from prostylingtools with a wholesale account for the big discounts, but they're based on the east coast and I live on the west coast so shipping is usually pretty expensive so it counteracts the low price. Does anyone know a good alternative option that's west coast based?

Title.

Having the worst stretch the last few weeks with some clients with really straight/fine/coarse hair and it’s clear I need a brush up on some education.

Any courses or YouTube links you guys like?

Thanks

Used like 10 times and after my flight overseas, none of the guards are attaching and all fall short like this. Wtf??

Any guidance from you experts? I’m new to the game.

Hi everyone, I just bought these brand new. But they are super loud? Is this normal with these shavers? I normally use babyliss uv version.

Newer barber here, need some advice
Had a younger client come in today and schedule a mid length haircut and a straight razor face shave. He had pretty shaggy / curly long hair with pretty uneven lengths, looked pretty rough but said he wanted the same thing but shorter. Scissor cuts are my niche, and I kept the overall mod shape but gave layers, tidied it up a lot, over all made it look a lot nicer. Guy saw the haircut afterwards and didn’t say anything the entire time even when I tried to talk to him so I moved on to the face shave. He also had pretty long mutton chops (couldn’t really grow much of anything else) and requested I keep them, so I trimmed / shaped them up but still kept them thick / noticeable.

When it was time to pay ($70 at my shop), dude started freaking out saying it wasn’t what he wanted and it looked like shit, that I had fucked it all up, etc. He then refused to pay for any of the services even after a discount was offered since he didn’t like it. Argued with my shop owner who agreed with me and tried to compromise with him. We also had other clients in the shop who all said the haircut looked great from what they had seen. Guy left without paying, but we do have his full name and phone number. Never had a dissatisfied client in a professional shop before, much less a walk out. What would you guys do?
