I don't I don't want them to have any other clients because we have such good clients here. It's like And so look for instance even on this guy just say he wants to keep everything like that Dude, there's a few ways to start it. I can come I can come up here with this hair And I can you know kind of cut the shears into that or I can do the reverse of that Which is like kind of take you know Just say he wants to go with it, too So maybe you know i'll just take you know this guard up here like a four and just kind of soften it before I hit it You know do a three two down and then i'll go up with the shoes And this is how easy And then you know taper it But look instead of like leaving any hard line like we're coming hard into that Yeah, and like i'll just kind of kick it out and give it like a little bit of a shadow Like i'm not even really pressing up against the hair like i'll have this like this And then I just come here and soften it just to begin with and look that can be long still And then look I just soften that that's it Well here what's up guys what's up with the are you I want to go look at the building again, so what do you want to Okay No problem So what what I wanted to ask is are you okay if we get a a keypad that goes from both sides? Because we're gonna go rekey Yeah, i'm okay with that. Yeah Well, can I can I show you as soon as I get off? I have him and he's my last one and then i'm talking to him and then i'll be ready to text you guys. Okay? What's up? All right, well i'll text you guys when i'm done. All right, because I just thought that would be easier Yeah, I think it is too sick. Awesome. Perfect. All right. Later. Hi guys. Sorry See because i'm in the middle of buying a building so it's Still here or somewhere else Okay Yeah, see so look i'm just and all i'm doing is softening his hair just around here. Look his hair is and His hair is a weird one to talk about because he has real specific hair and what it's doing and And I know how to ******* work with it and fool with it. It is a very This is something different, but i'm just saying like it's this is something that you would almost consider Someone could turn it into a nightmare or whatever. I know how to **** with his hair. Look see I know how that is. I know how old it is. So therefore I don't I already know how to Look, and then my shoes will blend right? But watch i'll show you this is how I Walk into that I could even so I could even subsection his hair like so say that I was afraid to take the two Across like that then I could just come right over here and totally not worry about this whole section And I can just subsection This whole haircut and look i'm just lifting up here like that's how that's how easy it is. I'm just lifting up i'm breaking just you know to be In its purest form you're using the you know break formation just kind of you know adjusting it slightly but as I adjust it to where it's up and i'm able to You know pull it back down with this and have it, you know just And then just like we could open one or raise the guard whatever day And there's no longer right, you know, someone wants to use metal guards, that's fine They want to use a clipper over comb, you know, that's fine when I do it from my school Then i'll uh, i'll show them every technique Period because i'm a real big believer in I want the artist to be the artist I don't want to steal their artistry dude Like my thing is I want you know, someone that's all about clipper over comb. Let him do that There's going to be a client out there that loves that Like it's there's no longer you know what I mean like And someone will be like oh t.j you did it like that Yeah, I did it like this, but there's like a hundred thousand ways I could do it And none of them are wrong The really the good value is uh, how does the cut come out at the end and see watch i'll even bust them And look even so like getting a pinpoint of look at how his watch come over on this Look how look how his ears look and they look like that So it's like ******* I already know where it really lies and then there's positioning so I can take the clippers like this Go like this see going all like this would be too hard. I go like that I could base my finger right here and just flip right around and then I come right over here and I just put my hand like that and then I just come right over here and Just kick that right out like that, you know start a slow process of a cleanup and then turn it into a haircut Clean the area that you're going to cut You know that way it makes it, you know easy for you And see so it's like and this still looks, you know in disarray and everything, but it's I could see a vision Of what it's going to look like and see look use the client if you need to rest right there just you know, I don't care because at the end of the day, he doesn't care and he knows it's just coming out perfect and And that's the main thing that matters And see so look and then watch i'll ask you a question to see where you're starting here Just see they don't tell you what kind of taper they want you don't want to ask them low mid or high or whatever They just so i'll take a taper, you know, then, you know, it's mid but uh but like just for like even just say this is a Zero, but a five odd a little bit shorter than my clippers are But I mean i'll i'll just come right in here And and just say it's going to be like, you know that mid or whatever i'll just come right over here and uh And and just click it in right over With just an ever so slight arch to it just You know just just to give it a tiny bit and that's just not even much of a you know, I could do a crazy arch or whatever, but You know, you could tell he's not gonna have his like that. So You see what i'm saying though just by the look of who he is And see look Unless he says it or unless we ask and offer him and you can never ask enough questions because then maybe you never know Let's see watch he's he's not Look then I soften this nothing crazy Just coming in You know re-adding a line here You know with these ones just to get it now because look you can see that side now this side just a little bit a little bit cleaner And see so just having that And you could take everything with the razor Just having that like that Watch And I can use any clippers. That's another beautiful thing that if someone says hey, I use these ones Well, I want to use those two just to show you You know on your own clippers and then we'll go over when we open your clippers Uh, you know, are they zero gap back here? Are they you know, how short are they? So a difference will be Is I have and I don't know if you do this yet, but so these clippers I can make go into these That way they just flow right in. Yeah, I these are already at a five off Which is you know a short uh, very short this this one I can adjust to go right into whatever those come like Oh cool. Yeah, so it makes look at the blend makes it this easy Well watch look I can do a guide for these people here on tv it's uh So they can just see a traditional way Because I was just going to kind of bust it in but watch i'll show them a traditional way of uh, Just creating a quick guide and showing them how to bust it right out to where it's uh See now watch now that looks great look right over here you can probably just really quick enhance that Top part of the line make sure it flows just perfect. Uh, then you can just come right down to here and And I can show them on tv even how quick this taper is Stop making the taper a nightmare Uh, you know if you got to separate the hair to do something go for it You know just to section it off, but see that seeing that'll just start to Yeah, just start to blend right in see watch this here see just doing a quick little brush just to Get me set up for my you know guard that I could just flip right through it and See how this turns right into a middle it's like from where I launched it So that's what i'm saying too is I feel like graphs In the school for the students of saying where exactly to lay that You know and then within that, you know graph they can place it where they want if they want to get custom with it But it's like at least you know around with that graph where it's gonna drop, you know what I mean? That's where I say that's kind of important Because look then I just take a corner just say look this is Trash right here or or it's all that that didn't blend too good or then you just take a corner And just come just like that. So everything is is fixable. It's all nothing to me There's nothing I could do I could come I used to go in there and just and and start it and and it started fucked up on purpose just so I had something to fix And I tell you that you know, it's just once you pick up blending and using your corners You'll never biff a haircut. It's it's almost impossible. Yeah, that's why i'm saying it's like, uh You see and that's easy just driving Driving that and just you know, shaking that off into there And realizing I mean it's like ---- you know, this is and you know over the years you have to be, you know, careful with of not going too high and those are areas that can you know, you can end up with a The wrong kind of blend or whatever it is See, I usually look I don't face them or i'll be like blending from back here. That way I can actually see So watch see this I'm gonna just see this is just my 0.5 You know, you know making that flow just perfect But I can see from this angle like, you know better than Yeah Sides or nothing I keep it kind of dry right here and then i'll wet it and then i'll cut it so it drips together But I don't like fading when it's wet Same yeah Person feels comfortable with but see how quickly like I knock it into perspective the words. Yeah And see i'm just adding a tiny taper right now and then i'll wet it and then i'll actually blend it I gotta see where this connects and See this one now This is just a trick the way i'm doing it right here. It's It's like a quick way to achieve fade The corners will get you out of anything You'll make more money barbering than anything else. I remember especially that you're licensed, you know, and you're on your way to doing the last toast see now that looks horrible right there, but I don't care because i'm going to use this time to To connect these sides with the scissors and then i'll try it and re-blend right through that Section to where it adds a little layer on the side of this area These are mizutani shoes handmade in japan These are the best of the best If I open a school, well when I open my school, i'll be definitely uh, these shoes will Students will get to have with their kid And I like using my scissors more than I like using anything that's Funny because I do too. Oh, really? I do. Yeah, see dude. That's what's going to set your haircuts apart from everyone else's watch, dude Everyone knows the clippers. That's nothing You can pick up the clippers, but I can teach you the clippers within Just a couple weeks. I've had me own buyer It's their shears Because that sheer will add that you know different step of class to it Yeah, that's why I said men's salon bridging the gap between traditional barbering and salon culture Having where there's a guy if you come and you know have a tiny bit more you know be able to get those you know some sheer work and See what i'm saying why I waited for the sides now so I could just kind of paint those and go right around his ear And that's just one way this is a real easy way when you see the cut when you're like god damn And what I heard you you got a new car, huh? Yeah, I got the uh that mazda out there fine. Yeah I got hit by a van on coal Oh ----. Yeah, dude. I was driving I was heading back home.
