My problem is oily clients; I don't understand black folk obsession with grease and heavy face lotion(I'm black so don't cuss me out) I mean I get noboby wanna be ashy but goddamn, like I got niggas coming in after a year with no haircut, no kind of shape up, afro saturated with grease, I don't got the patience to wash every last client so I just try to get em the best I can, but if the fade don't take an hour the lineup takes forever, smh. Combine that and the fact the owner don't wanna run the air because we real slow because of the covid and I fell like I'm working in a sweatshop, don't even feel like going in half the time...
😂 I can relate, Brother. Pisses me off too. You have to train your clients. The first thing I do on every customer is spray some alcohol or after shave on a towel and wipe their edge area really good before I start the edge up. This removes all of that oil and grease so your trimmers can give a good edge. Be sure to show them the oil and dirt that is on the towel and explain to them why you do that. Don’t tell them that they are dirty. Tell them it’s routine for you to remove the natural oils from the line up area. You have to give your clients warning about coming in with greasy or oily hair. Tell them that they are risking a hefty up charge for a shampoo service or risk getting denied service and they would have to reschedule. You can post up a sign.
If you're in America I'll bet your experience is better compared to ours here in Africa. Because of heat as a result of excess sunlight and dust everywhere, coupled with the nonchalant attitude of clients not taken care of their hair before coming for a cut. It's really frustrating and burdensome to cling to perfection in all rounds as a barber always busy with too many clients waiting most of the times.
Thank you! I'm not a professional barber but I do my amateur stuff😂😂😂 I was washing my stuff abut also spray some Sirafran (90%alcohol) on them and let them 10min and after dry them whit a towel. But you tip now is for my future... Much convenient and when you clean in bulk! Thank you again you got me subscribed with this trick 😂
Many braiders need to see this as well. I've seen plenty use unsafe practices it's very disgusting. I don't know what the rules are in the state of Florida for them but they need to get with the program.
Also what’s the best way to clean combs and guards in between cuts when your really busy and don’t have time to do all this. Does disinfectant spray do the job? Or a dip in barbercide. Please let me know. Thanks
The quickest and most efficient way is to mechanically remove the loose hair and debris from the guards with an air compressor then spray with a clipper disinfectant. Depending on which one you use it could take anywhere from 30 seconds to 10 minutes for the clipper disinfectant to kill the majority of germs and bacteria. It should tell you on the label how long that particular spray takes. Wahl has one that takes only 30 seconds

Get a quiet compressor. I currently use California tools
So you do this every morning before starting the day?
Yes
