Last month, my cousin asked me to show him how to cut hair. He was always nervous with clippers. We practiced on mannequins during weekends. Yesterday, at our family barbecue, he gave his dad a full fade. It was not perfect, but the lines looked clean and everyone cheered. I felt so proud seeing him beam with confidence. It reminded me why I love passing on this skill. Have you ever taught a family member to cut hair?
I was buying milk when a man said my fade was uneven. He doesn't know what good cutting is or what the client asked for. Why do people think they can judge our cuts without asking first?
I kept using blades until they were really dull. This caused pulling and slow fades. Now I switch them out every Friday before closing. My cuts are sharper and take half the time. A client even mentioned how painless his trim was. I spend less time fixing mistakes. Feels good to have one less thing to worry about.
