Why Clients Don't Care How Well You Fade | Building Clientele 

What up notification squad!!! Dope you guys keep coming back at every drop man! Forgot to post the intro 🙃. "The Barber's Journey Ep. 31 Feb. 13,2019"

This definitely needs to be said a lot more Kev, people have it twisted. personality and interacting with the customer is way more important than trying to achieve the cleanest fade ever. I’ve been learning this side of customer service myself.

Glad to hear another brother went to cosmetology school! It takes the crown over regular barber school

Brother....You really hit the nail on the head with your philosophy about barbers. Most barbers are cluless on customer service, evolution in skills, communication and overall kindness. I wish I had a barber likr you in my nic of the woods. Im done with barbers. I'm about to learn to cut my own hair.

Im tryna hear that story about the bad review 😂

I can't count how many times I've heard barbers on RU-vid say that it doesn't matter whether you give a great cut as long as you give a great service, but you're the first one to actually explain in such clarity what that really means and how to achieve it. Kevv, you're wise beyond your years and your outlook is impressive at such a young age. Don't focus on the income... focus on the outcome and the money will take care of itself. Love.

ATTITUDE is the most important trait for all services. Right on brother!

I just wanna mention that you take the time to make these videos look “quality” stepping out in cold weather to record the outside of the shop...passionate barber

this was a really good video, its exactly how i feel that I have built my clientelle in just the 2 yrs ive been cutting hair. as a female barber i figured itd be harder to build but being this way like you explained has really made my clientelle stay loyal and continue to grow

Man you are so talented with your edits. The time you take to capture every shot and angles is amazing. Keep it up bro your gonna get big 🙌🏻

You know your stuff to the T! I’ve been watching a bunch of your videos. Def My favorite barber channel

Bro I just graduated from Texas Barber College. You have been inspiring & educating me through the whole process. I'm in a shop now Life Changing Cuts in Houston Texas. I'm definitely talking this advice to heart. Thank you

Real talk, clients don't know the difference. No matter how you fade, they will always get out of the chair and thank you for the haircut. If it looks good, then the Jobs a gooden!!

Love this! Definitely post about the bad review. Curious about this

I was smacked right to my face with the words of wisdom. I'm still at school, but after watching this video I understand the tendency of clients coming back to me even though last haircut wasn't my best work but I got somewhat connection with them. Thanks vor the vid.

I'm a stylist in Houston and I really like your channel. Much love from the H. If you're ever in town let's have a seat at the barber table. PS post the Asian kid roast

This is so true im a big believer of the very thing you spoke about. Building a relationship and creating clients into friends

First time watching your videos and as a young barber.. this is the best barbering video I've ever watched. Preach brotha

Honestly, I believe this is one of your best videos yet. You really touched on the important things that a lot of people and even barbers don’t care or even think of doing.

This video is straight truth. I’ve had multiple customers that left great barbers that didn’t give AF about experience

Damn, I never really sat back and thought about if a client can really tell what a great fade really is. I stay coming across people in the streets or bar or club with a fade that isn’t clean. It’s either patchy or you see some lines that weren’t blended as well, slightly uneven lineup. What you say is true now that I think about it. Dope vid. Subbed

“Best video to date” true statement 🔥🙌

Great great video! My wife and I own a beauty and barber shop. I naturally do these things your talking about with clients and they love it they love the experience. The other ladies in there don't understand why they tip so well and love coming back to me, I guess I didn't either. My wife said they love talking to you so yes this makes sense to hear you say this. It's the experience it's the conversation and the attention I give them. They eat it up. When the other stylists in the salon see them as a number, their just trying to get done and on to the next one.

I've been on the business end of the beauty industry most of my adult life. Now I'm considering starting barbering at 35 years old. Thanks for the videos.

Don't apologise or make disclaimers for your voice, it's wonderful

Bro! Absolutely love this video! Everything about it, loved when you went into the part where you explained how when you learn how to cut you learn all the technicalities then you just go straight back to the cutting like second nature💯

Massive help! Great content covered and still relevant 2 years later

great advice - gunna watch this all time

Keep up the good work bro, I've been watching your RU-vid for a while now and you've help me grow as a beginner barber, I've been cutting since high school but just now taking it serous. Lets keep grinding

It depends on the shop; some shops the culture is set where being personable like that is a requirement especially shops that are servicing clients with higher incomes which it looks like barber's table is in. But for the majority of shops especially immigrant shops an impersonal conversation is pretty common with the focus being the quality of the cut. I live in the bay area and have been from low end to high end barbershops & salons and it's like that everywhere. Even without the quality conversations that are supposedly a must out here at least it's common for barbers to be scheduled at least a month out

Man your edits are dope... I am working to get to your level... I am dropping my first Voice over haircut video tonight. I just got serious about uploading every monday. I respect your content can't believe I aint seen you before now. Much Respect one Barber to another.

The video I needed to hear. I am too focused on cutting hair and cant focus on the client. That’s why i struggle to build a clientele and I want to quit badly. Cant seem to figure it out

Great video, your so right I've been to a lot of barbers over the years and most of them just focus on the cut not the customer and that actually can make the difference I wish you were here in Columbus.

"Greatest video up to date if you watching up to you, definitely up to you. Definitely greatest video to date but definitely up to you." Much love from 🇨🇦 man. Impact over income 👍🏽

Bro you speak straight knowledge! you inspire me to cut & make me believe in myself! keep up with the great content

8:04 Although I stopped going to the barbers because I found haircuts inconsistent I agree with this point, especially with Black barbershops I went to. It wasn't even just being good, it was being expected to be a certain way.

Nice! Great philosophy. A very different approach to your profession that most don’t talk about

He’s not wrong, I never knew I had shitty fades until I went to barber school and looked back at my haircuts

All the books 💯👑🔥

Appreciate those gems bro!👌🏾

On point bro, attitude over skills.

How could one dislike such a video,haters never stop

👍🏼 Thumbs up for video and wanting to hear the story. I’m definitely taking notes coming out of cosmo school and straight into sports clips has been a challenge. This definitely helped on what I need to focus on as far as my client I feel I’ve been skipping that part since I’m so nervous on my technical skills which I know will come in time! 🙌🏼🙏🏼✍🏼

Still love how deep you go in this one💯

i hella needed to hear this ! thank you for helping me improve myself as a person and barber as well

Quality content, my favorite RU-vidr and mentor, stay blessed 👍🏻
