this is how i do it so if you dont like it dont comment please but for people who support the page thankyou alot makes me feel like im actually doing something good
Finally, an average fade done right with none of that other mess about blending styles. Some put up videos and call them fades, but end up bring some hipster, greeser fade where you need like 6"+ of hair, lol
All this hating on here.... Who cares about how many steps there is,the finished product speaks for itself, excellent job bro, he's right there is a lot of blending techniques some barbers chase the line, some barbers do levels or some reverse fade which means fade down instead of up as long as u leave ur client right no lines in the cut its all good.when I first started cutting hair I wasn't good at all but I stuck with it and went to barber school and got my license and now that I got a lot better I have more passion for barbering it's a badass journey u never stop learning, real barbers spread their knowledge and help those that aren't so great to make them great we all learn from each other,as for the guy that said it looks like a high fade in the back and a mid fade on the sides, most of my clients want to keep their corners a lil dark it makes the line up pop out more when u put the razor to it, maybe that's what he wanted, keep up the good work bro...., barber love
I was reading some comments ! Smh haters hate lmao at yall! New barbers i dont care if it takes you a hour and a half , DO NOT RUSH thru your hair cuts , you do not let no one out your chair until you are good with the cut you are giving !!!! If you fuck that hair cut up you will lose clint's , you want to put your foot in every hair cut , so somebody will come up to your billboard ( client ) and ask them were did they get there hair cut at and who cut it , not yo that cut is trash !! Nice work fam !!
He did do a great job, but it did take a while. I was told 15 mins max for a fade like this. But like you said, you was new and your game is on point now. We all have to start somewhere.
nice work-good for our home cuts 2yr old son/me- new barbers gonna hate-till they build their clients-I gets better with practice I got the Andis fademasters,T outliner off ebay made a big difference-I made a self cut 3 way mirror. thanks for your vid
Remember everything you use while doing this cut you will have to sanitize after . With that in mind try to limit the use of so many clippers and guards. You will get to a point where for this cut you will only 3 guards 1 clipper and 1 trimmer.
The fade was nice and crispy. You have a way of doing this that makes it complicated to understand I feel that you could of eliminated a lot of steps and confusion. But in the end you got the job Done nice work bro. I know what it's like to learn how to cut hair by your self I started out the same way
Zig! I think you just solved my fading issues! I got the basics from some other barbers on youtube but I think you just helped me to get my fade even cleaner! I'm bout to got try this shit right now! Thanks, my dude! P.S. You from/in the bay?
For those using Andis Master series adjustable clippers as see in this video, here is a easy way to remember how to use the adjustment marks on the side of clipper during your cuts: The 5,4,3,2,1 method. Hold the clipper in your hand with the name of clipper (in the middle area) facing you. The adjustable lever should be on your left: 5 = OPEN (lever on side is all the way down) 4 = one mark up from open position 3 = two marks up from open position 2 = three marks up from open position 1 = CLOSED (four marks up from open position) A tip I learned from Coach Culler
Thanks i just try to explain it as simple as possible these videos are a little out to date my new videos will be more simple easier cuts fully explained
its a guide line. a tool that help out evening out the sides and back. you can do it without a line but only experienced barbers who know they are doing can get away with it.
Nice cut me personally I would take the seniors close and make the first guideline Second I would take the andis master open And go up About a inch and a half Then I would take the seniors with a 2 on top And then fade to the bottom using the 1 open and close on the seniors and it should blend smoothly the 1 close on the senior should blend on the master open.
fantastic fade. The blend is on point. Now I'm a cosmetologist so I've found it easier to start longer n work down. So I would have done my #2 on top, then faded a #1 1/2 into that, then my #1 into that , and so on and so forth down to my no guard. And of course taken my balding trimmers to freshen up the little stubble left behind. Now would you yourself find that technique easier than starting the way you did?
We are not allowed to use guards at barber college. Can you do these demonstrations without them? And, thank you for taking the time to create these videos; very much appreciated.
Cutting hair is what you do.....This video is about 2 years old, so if you haven't done so yet, invest in some wahl balding clippers!! They will extend the life of your hitters! (detailers)
Idc what ne one else says I've watched dozens of videos on how to give my man a great looking fade and ur cideo is by far the best. I want to know if i dont have pne pf thpse t-shavers or whatever tjeir called or a straight blade what would you suggest i uss to give him the crisp cut look on hos forhead and sides? Also do you have a video or turorial on how to perfect a faded beard or goatee? If not do you have any suggestions. Just want my man to keep looking fine!lol
Awesome job on the fade bro! One if the best I've seen on RU-vid. I've just started cutting using conair clippers from walmart ad just can't seem to get a smooth fade. What clippers do you recommend I get (thinking either andis masters or wahl seniors)? Are two sets necessary? Thanks for the great video and look forward hearing from you
Thanks I appreciate it, personally i use the master now since my school gave me them they are easier for the fade but cost about 120$ the wahl senior are real good i got the icons with the senior blade, they both have a purpose but for a begginer id go with the wahls unless the master arent out your budget
ZigTheBarber Thanks for the response. I am leading more towards the wahl. Ive heard the andis fade clipper is pretty sharp and snags/cuts clients. Your thoughts?
very helpful but the comb is unnecessary I don't know why barbers use the comb on millimeter hair the Clippers will cut it without the constant combing
Good fade man but what's with everybody that makes barber videos always doing some unnecessary extra shit? Just do the fade and make it as simple as possible.. because it is simple. Smh
