“It’s what you learn when you realize it all this is most vital.” —John Wooden.

You’re expected that allows you to cut graduated layer cuts, short clipper cuts, in addition to disconnected pompadours and undercuts. Fortunately, there’s a ton of education available at trade shows, distributors, and online to help you for your route to mastering men’s hair cutting.”

“The dictionary is the only real place that success comes before work.” —Unknown

“There is just one thanks to build an oversized, profitable clientele and it’s simple: work flat out and many hours. After I opened my first shop i used to be open Tuesday-Friday 8 a.m. to eight p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to five p.m. I worked every hour the store was open getting there first and leaving there last. It took many years to construct my demand in order that i’ll raise my prices and begin booking appointments. It was then, i used to be ready to make my very own schedule and scale back a couple of hours.”

“They may forget what you said, but they’ll always remember the way you made them feel.” —Carl W. Buechner

“Customer service is the name of the sport. Some men are fussy, others are needy, but most men are both. The sole problem is that none folks will admit it. Positive communication together with your customers is significant to cause them to feel special and need to return to you. Male customers want you to grasp exactly how they need their hair cut. While you can deliver in this, your retention rate and your tips will skyrocket.

“You are just pretty much as good as your tools.” —Larry Talerico

“Men’s haircutting is precise and only the correct tools will do. I highly suggest using three clippers: a detachable blade clipper, an adjustable clipper and a finishing clipper. Additionally, you will desire a larger barbering style shear in addition to a tapering/fine thinning shear.
