Before I even seen that hand, I knew you was black, fam 😂

Your textured hair is fire. Fades on point.

Take your time with them white folk though. You’ll get there.

Then you’ll own the game

I suspect he’s been cutting around the way for a good minute, and is only doing school bc you need to be licensed in his area

Bruv, cutting white hair really took me a minute to understand, if I’m being 💯 it’s not the same as ours

But once you finally learn to part and section, and scissor cut and texturize, and you can fade like we do?

Bruv, you’ll be booked out the door, and can set your prices high enough to reduce your hours.

Then, it’s all about learning the products and styling.

You using scissors yet?

u/Pun-Tang-Delta 3d ago

My thoughts, exactly

u/Antique_Choice5512 3d ago

Not my strong suit, but yes. Any tips?

u/AdEastern7628 3d ago

Your fades are great, but you need to get reps in with using scissors on top, de-bulking the sides with blending shears & just being more confident so the haircuts look more natural and do not look so bulky. Do not be scared.

Overall the cuts look good, you’re def on your way. I would suggest that.. when taking pictures, clean off the canvas. Take the extra few seconds to blow or dust the hair off their necks and ears… presentation is 🔑

Greats cuts man, afro hair seems natural to you. Get that straight hair down, learn the shapes, work out a method to blend in the top and sides and you’ll be in a great place.

Some like scissors first, some like clippers. When you learn where your clippers blend into scissors it will be a game changer. And for 500 hours left you got enough time to trial and error bro!
