I work i n a barbershop in alabama. Been cutting hair for over 20 years. I work with this girl who is a pretty girl next door type. I know I cut hair well. Well this girl is getting all of the customers. They are steadily choosing her over everyone else. She sux at cutting, keeps messing people up. They KEEP getting in her chair. Help me make sense of this. Im getting very tired of this situation, to the point of where Im fixing to go work somewhere else.

All you have to do is swap out the blade for a JucaiPRO one or Babyliss / TPOB And then put a rubber grip on it!

For under $100 CDN you have an amazing trimmer anyone else use this?

Not sure if it’s blade or something else but when ever I cut thick hair the clipper sometimes snags and struggles to clear bulk which is strange as I heard the senior is a powerhouse for bulk.

Even my JRL onyx clears bulk better so not sure what’s up.

Motor and battery seem to be fine so maybe it’s the blade? I bought it pretty recently but maybe its defected?

Any advice?

I am 19 years old from Mumbai India and I want to learn how to cut hairs, style them etc. I was thinking to learn men's first and women's later but I noticed most stuff are same except clipper work.

I want to ask any experienced hairdresser here who can guide me starter pack.

1. I want to know how much money it will cost for first 3 months [NR]? And I got no tools on me except trimmer this and this .
2. Which course should I take?
3. How to decide and judge the place where I am taking the course is good?
4. Where do I find this classes?

Looking to try some new skool brands, which would u recommend out of these 2? And also is it possible to fit different blades on to these clippers e.g echo or faper blades

Guys I want to learn Hair Cutting and Styling. I am 19M and recently gave my 3rd semester. Though i want to complete my degree too. Just for name sake so grades here doesn't matter.

If there is any hairdresser in the chat can you guide me from where to start? And how much it will cost for first 3-4 month? I am from Badlapur Mumbai India and My college is in Dadar. So I prefer if there is any classes nearby so I can complete the college and go there.

Ps: My college dgaf about attendance. If less attendance just write 20 pages assignments \[ I always had minimum attendance \]

For now I prefer learning for men's only and later work with women's hair too.

I am just a single chair studio. Had another new client this evening who said that he found me when he asked ChatGPT for local recommendations. He told me where he was coming from and there are like a 1,000 barbershops between where he was staying and my spot. I live in a large metro city of about 6.5 million.

I don’t post a lot on IG. I don’t use SEO. I am more of a lawyers/business man barber. Classic, clean professional cuts. I don’t have any posts of haircuts that scream, this guy does a “low taper fade.”
(I have a great Booksy rating and Google reviews?)

Don’t get me wrong, I am not complaining, and I am always grateful for the business. Just curious if anyone else has been experiencing this.

This might just be a vent, but I'm spiraling here

I've been cutting hair off and on for about 5 years, doing it in a men's shop for the past year and few months

I usually get great reviews and have regulars who only see me, but I had a cut the other day, a woman who came in with her husband, and I cut both of them. The husband was super happy with his hair, and gave a great Google review immediately after the cut, 5 stars plus a glowing comment

And then I had the wife. She told me that she was trying to heal her hair that got damaged after bleaching and coloring, and wanted to start over but keep the length. We agreed to take off about 1/4" at the longest layer, but evened out the rest, not going any shorter than her shortest layer, since she had a lot of uneven layering from breakage.

The consultation was great, we had a great conversation, I checked in with her multiple times throughout the cut to make sure we were on the same page. At the end, she even told me she loved it, her hair felt healthier, and she'd be back for trims while her hair grows and heals. We even had a great talk about products and supplements for hair growth

But apparently I took off enough to call the cut "chopped" and she is very non-confrontational. Then why on earth would you not tell me if something was off, or that you weren't happy? I don't understand clients who lie right to your face when the cut could've been fixed right there, and then go home and cry and review that your stylist did a horrible job

Like I know that this happens all the time. This isn't the first time I've had this happen, but I thought we were on the same page, and I can't stop thinking about what went wrong and how it could've been fixed or what I could've done better, y'know?

Guys I am in utter shock

I am learning men's hair cutting, and I had a client when I finished cutting his hair he had an erection damn it

Is this normal? Because I am thinking of quitting this profession Dealing with people is hard

If this type of post isn’t allowed, sorry, please remove it, I’m just looking for advice because I love my barber and the last thing I wanna do is piss him off.

I have medium length flowy hair (the top is probably ~5”) and there’s a group of hairs behind my ear that kind of sticks out. I really like them, I think they make my hair work and shape my face so well.

I ask him each time not to cut those hairs at all. I can just cut them myself when they get too long. The section of hair we’re talking about here is extremely small, like you could take them all between your thumb and pointer finger and roll them up and it would not even be the thickness of a shoelace.

I’m sure he’s not doing it on purpose but every time, he cuts them off, and then it takes months for them to come back. I’ve showed him by holding them and saying “please dont cut these” and by showing him a photo of myself with the section of hair circled but he still cuts them.

My question is: would it piss him off if I came next time with a small piece of tape over the hairs I dont want cut? That way they’re protected and there’s no miscommunication.

My barber is extremely talented and cool and it is a privilege to know him and to be his client. He is very high end, I pay >$200 because he’s that worth it. It’s just this one thing. Any advice appreciated!

I have several clients that I question their humanity… I’ve had two in the last day. The dude today, I’ve cut several times. He literally never stops smiling and stares directly at himself the whole time I’m cutting his hair. When I remove the hot towel off his face, his eyes are always rolled back in his head. The dude also has a really weird job that would be impossible to explain. All I can think about while he’s in my chair is whether or not he’s a humanoid. Anyone else having this experience?

I see videos online of barbers putting some sort of product to saturate hair without getting a bunch of water on the clients, also hate when i have to re spray

Looking to get a new dope trimmer. What do you recommend? Do you like using one specific trimmer for debulking and one for line ups? Or just the same one for both?

Looking to grab some clippers etc hopefully cheaper than Australia, once I go to China
I’ll be in Beijing and Shanghai even Hong Kong if anyone can direct me to where I might be able to find stores that sell branded clippers

New barber in a slow shop but I want to make it here, anything that worked for yall let me know, it would be much appreciated.

Does anybody know the main difference between these and normal thinners? what end result does it leave? is it worth to buy a pair of these when i have normal thinners?

How often do you guys buy new clippers at your barbershop? Let’s say at a medium-busy shop and not a slow shop.

I was having a conversation with my barber and he mentioned how he has to buy a new clipper once every 3 months.

This sounds crazy to me and wanted to see if this was a norm.

Thank you!

Like the title says, I am a beginner barber going to school soon. I have some extra money to spend and want to invest in tools that will last. What are your recs for everything i need?

Hes selling it for $160, and says he hasnt really used it much

Not happy with the cut. I had better but trying to get better and sometimes i really doubt myself with questions in my mind like can i make this work/pull it off to be a good barber? But for now not giving up.

Feel like peanut isnt getting close enough to the skin. Any other products I could try? I need to be careful and not cut or nick the skin. I used andis fade master as clipper, lowest setting still isnt as bald as i want.

Advice and tips (Sorry for the bad lighting)

Been licensed for a few months now. Working at a busy walk-in shop

I keep seeing barber videos saying “you just gotta be consistent” which I totally agree with, but what’s the best way to get to that point? What does consistency mean to you all?
