This is how I learned

Standing Out by Stepping up!

If you are not cutting hair, than you must be preparing to cut hair... preparing your equipment, your skills, your attitude! Preparing for that next service where you will step up and produce the best service that you have ever produced. Always think of ways to offer more value, ways to make your next client believe that for a brief time, while in your chair, he is the most important thing.

There will always be some that will not do this, but If YOU do this consistently, (make it a…

WAHL AND OSTER FAST FEED

ok barbers i got a few questions with both clippers...1.. i got the wahl super clip and with the number 1 clip mostly it cuts uneven at times. any idea why? i sometimes think my blade alignment is wrong.. sometime it leaves streaks causing parts of the hair to THIN out... the left side of the blade cuts even and the other side thins out.. so it doesnt cut even. i cut all over with a #2 (1/4) and it cut uneven, leaving lines everywhere. It seemed like the guards it came with are really flimsy…See More
