FitBarber™ Brand: "Be impactful”, “Work on yourself, then impact others"
![[Paris Olympics] Performance by Australia's Olympic Break-dancer Rachael Gunn breaks the internet](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/i1rl1KhKIjE/mqdefault.jpg)
I myself did walk- ins for 10 years and YES it did take a toll on me working day in and day out after so many years. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit I was FORCED to go mobile and ONLY by appointments and I LOVE IT. Not only im making more money now but I have a life and I gained new customers because how I do things that fit their needs but at the same time I did loose a few of my old customers. Overall I'm doing better now than what I was when I was working in a shop and this pandemic SHOWED me that mobile appointments are the way to go!
Well done Sir
Same here. I’m doing less people by doing appointments, but my stress levels are sooo much better!
So you don't do haircuts in the shop now? You work for an App? How does mobile barber work? I'm curious because I'm not a barber but I have been doing haircuts for many years for friends and family.
My barber does everything walks ins mobile and scheduled hes always super packed and charges $65 a cut he is 100% worth it beat barber i got ever d styles madison and oak park zackthebarber recommend 10/10
When you decided to go mobile. Did you decide to have a mobile shop or to just go to customers an unpack and setup to cut? What was your starting price point for being mobile?
To top it off, some customers come in with photoshpped picture, and get upset that it looks different. Photoshop or not, you cannot duplicate a photo entirely
Bahahaha
Sendem down da road, Drew !!!!!!
U dont nee them bustin ur balls .
Just an Old Cat
givin good advise...
@@unclemoe6043 lol
Oh yeah I had to once since the cat was roided jacked
You are a real dude you can tell you’re honest ✅
Lost my job due to covid last year, I have a mortgage, 2 kids & a Fiance, started barbering after getting my license in April........im prepared for the struggle, best thing I've ever chosen to do career wise.
Did you have experience before starting ?
@@jayy2hott557 Used to cut a few friends hair before I got my NVQ2 & 3 .....5 months in a shop gaining valuable experience, looking to find somewhere with better footfall after Xmas.
Respect for that jump , im now 36 and tire of my desk job , really Thinking about making this jump and sign up for school . Scary lol
@@rossnoakes606 how are you doing now
@@alexmyhas I've gone mobile, I have a client list of 30 or so people that I cut when its convenient for me.
im now doing Forestry & vegetation full time now bro, the industry where I live is so over saturated & needed to provide for my family.
One day I’ll be known for my hairstyles 💇♂️
I believe in you homie 🤙🏼😎
I have been a hairdresser for 15 years. Took a year off from burn out and am thinking of going into bartering. EVERYTHING you said was spot on. I was very busy and successful but I started becoming resentful after becoming a slave to the shop. I love your honesty.
Love this video. People don’t focus on the reality of barbering and I appreciate you sharing it 💯
Been and currently a CDL driver for 10 years. Starting barber school In the fall. Can’t wait to see where that adventure goes
Go offfff 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 shout out to you for putting life changing information on this platform 🎊🎉
I take appointments, My shop is very busy and i cannot manage standing from start to stop anymore. My biggest thing now after many years, is realizing that your the barber for some people and some people should head on down the road, either they fit the shop or they don't, ...I'm sure you other barbers get this part, i can spend my time cutting my clients that seem to like the shop the haircut the vibe, or the guy that comes in with bad energy condescending narcissist type and is like a dark cloud every time he comes in... I now fill my shop with people who like the shop the haircut and the vibe, so its not personal against them, there is a Barber for everyone!, I may not be the barber for them, and that's a good thing!, great for me and them...
You’re explaining work in general I think, not just being a barber or the industry.
I was expecting something like if you can’t take bad breath from clients or a boogie sticking out of his nose while you shave him etc.
Correct but I can only speak about what I do, and that’s barbering. I’m sure it could be the same with others jobs, but I wouldn’t know
@@DavidFalla of course sir, much respect ✊
Yea any job you will put in hours
People think a barber yeah that's easy all you do is to cut hair
But every mf one of them they cant even work 2 days in a row in the shop
30 minutes a cut
10 hours every day
1 break in the day (30 minutes)
Clean the floor between cuts
Clean your tools
Talk to every different type of client
Find a theme to discuss that may be interesting to them
Be good with clients you might not like
Change shoes every 6 months cause they are destroyed by hair
Prepare to have cutted hair everywhere clothes car home in shoes when u eat
Nailed on you fucking fingers
And many more
But barbers out there remember our best client is ourselves
We have to protect ourselves our back or legs we are not robots our magic hands need some break we need some days off we deserve them !!!
Eyeopening! Im not afraid, I gulped a bit but that's just what it takes to do something you like doing.. its a sacrifice but worth it ...
Very well said
Sadly there is no more 9 to 5 at least in california..they want your whole life in that danm building!!
Facts tho, I'm trying to grind as much as I can as a 15 year old, keep inspiring us as young barbers 💯🙏🏽
If I may ask, how did you start becoming a barber? Like how did you learn everything especially since your in highschool
@@nibbax7772 RUclips, enrolling in academies and simply practicing on my brother, friends and just expanding to more people! Just never stop learning, there are plenty of resources out there!
You ve become a barber now?
@@8ihe Yes
I think there is one thing you missed. You need to have an extreme passion for cutting hair. It's very hard to stay motivated if you don't have a passion or a love for it. Before I became a cosmetologist/ Barber, I was a violin teacher and orchestra member. I have a extreme passion for teaching kids to play violin and performing. I eventually want to teach barbering. You have to have a goal in mind before you become a barber.
Great video David , I’m grateful for it because I’m starting my new journey into this so this is really helpful , keep up the channel !!! Great work 🙏🏼
U a 100% right about people thinking being a barber is easy. I started cutting my family’s hair during quarantine and now a couple of friends and shits not easy. but it’s fun to see the progress and always looking To learning to get better.
Way to keep it real and honest. A lot of ppl miss those aspects when diving into it. Preciate ya putting it out there
David I have to thank you for making this video because this was one of two video that confirmed to me that I should become a licensed barber. I watched this video back in the summer of 2021, graduated barber school in July of 2022 in Texas, and now I’m working at a shop in Florida. Thank you!
Yo bro whats up
I have question im in iraq so i think we have some deffreint clippers guids cuz my teacher has a guids 0 but its 1.5 mm my question is i follow the number or the mm??
# of guard is a US thing. Easiest conversion is Oster blades. They have both. MM is shorter for sure!! 2 is 1A or 1.5 on Oster. Runs shorter.
whats the pros and cons of being a barber. im 42 and doing a new career. i dont want go back and do lot schooling and dont like construction work
Great question.
Have Same Question!!
Many Barbers and Cosmetologist, their former trade was construction. When attending Barbering School, one of my peers left Construction to become a Barber. I've worked with multiple Cosmetologists- prior Construction. Some still do construction as a side hustle, hair 3 days a week/ construction 2-3.
I've been a Cosmetologist for over 28 years, Barber for 5.5 years. Most of us have a side hustle.
Most shops in my area are 10 to 5 or 10 to 6. That’s an 8 hour job. Most people who don’t have a career will do anything to have a schedule like that.
I understand that but if you are trying to bring home 2 - 3k a week then you are gonna have to work more than 8 hours a day. It’s all about how much you want to make and how much are you willing to work
@@DavidFalla Gotchu. What state are you in?
NJ
@@DavidFalla how much do you calculate you would make just working the regular hours?
@@DavidFalla so for me, comparing my situation which is making $650 a week at a hard labor job I’m easily pleased if I can make only $650 a week doing my passion and still have free time outside of a 10am-5pm days. I don’t need 2-3k a week to be content so would this be a different situation for me?
Im 18 and idk what to do with my life so im looking into careers and i was considering being a barber. Im still young so i want to find my passion yunno and tbh idk if i should try it.
Do it as a hobby first bro
Or learn about it. I just went to trade school. You learn quick
the barberschool told me after 6 month schooling should be able land a job and cut on your own
Thank you so much for knowledge and insight of authenticity of your experience. You are my mentor who i looked up too.
excellent brotha , good feed back and I totally agree with everything you had to say , stay blessed !
I really enjoyed your video. It was very insightful and you answered the questions that were in my mind, specifically about retirement and health benefits. I’m not a barber, but I picked up cutting hair while in the military and it was something I wanted to do when I retired from active duty. However, I ended up getting a government job that offers those benefits. It’s not the job I want to do long term. I want to eventually move in to something I really enjoy and barbering is something I really enjoy. God bless.
Yo, you really were truthful.. and I appreciate your total honesty. You really helped me out with my decision-making process. I think that other successful owners should be open and honest like you did.. Dee
I think all these points is any industry bro even gardeners go through everything you said.
My thing is coming out of school to a pandemic and trying to stay in the industry full time is very difficult with this being a service that we provide and are generally independent to, we as barbers contribute to keep the shop doors open, even if that cuts into our own personal budget.
That is so true!!!... Can you make more videos like this? I work in a salon that is hourly pay but I would like to rent a chair. I just feel that I'm not ready yet to do so.
Wait how much do you make in an hour?
Hi sir , am Aime Prince from Ghana and am a barber I really really appreciate everything you said on the video it’s really opened my eyes on some little stuffs I didn’t know about being a barber 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Never knew about the editing part wow
Hey Im looking for a little barber wisdom. Almost all new barbers fresh out a school are normally young but me at 55 Im thinking about going to barber school. As a multi shop owner what is your opinion on that. Im reaching out to others trying to get a feel for the culture and newby old man barber. So anything you care to share will be gratlly appreciated. But no pressure
Thank you brotha this was great thanks man 💯
Thanks for sharing bro,God bless you!
I’ve been in the shop for the past since my last comment.
David the best man ever... I had seen alot of channels for barbers but you are the best...
I live in the netherlands and i wish iam in the US to learn more from you.. Iam barbering from almost 1 year and my clippers technique is perfect but iam still struggling with the shears 😔😔...
If you can please make a video showing from your experience what are the reasons of struggling with shears..
Best regards,
Hadi
Review the wahl detailer first. Recently got the Wahl super taper to start with
There’s tons of reviews out there
Im in mid 30s... I been in the game for lil bit... But where i live there are no schools.. The schools are 2 hours away.. How can i get my hours..please can you give some help ...
Bro im from germany 🇩🇪 and in whole Germany is no Barberschool 😥
i would move every city to become a barber but no chance
and different country is very difficult..
2 hours is very good for you! go and do it! tryna find a place to stay for the course time 🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@marvinward1046 are there barbers in Germany?
@@CappuccinoTX there are "few" i mean in we have 95% oriental barbershops thats not to me like 15$ haircuts in 5 minutes. and in whole germany are 2 barbershops like in the usa but you dont get so much money maybe for the living
and to open a own barbershop you have to do 3 years of hairdressing and coloration with girls then a master course and then you have permission but there are no barber courses like in usa lmao 🥵
@@marvinward1046 that sounds crazy, that's hard to believe.
@@CappuccinoTX yea drives me crazy bro now i just cut at home and it stays my hobby but i always think about how it would be to work as a barber as main job 😕
Awesome, really good advice,thank you for the info n sharing
Thank you for the advises men, im planning to become a barber and in the future open my saloon, and it's good to know all o this, respect 🖐️
perfect video🙏
Thanks David, very honest and accurate!
Listen barbers are on fire right now work from home and charge alittle more and don’t pay nobody shit.....Thank me later
Do you do this yourself? How is it working out?
Respect for you ‼️
You right on many things up front and simple. I'm a hairstylist getting into the Barber world. Please do a review on the GAMMA ERGO CLIPPER PLS!!! I just bought one.
I’m 23 and I’m always been fascinated by cutting hair, do you think it is too late to start for myself?
Im a student still but i think u still have all the time epsecially if u want to do men only
Ure young actually
I'm thinking of starting in my 40's.
I’m 34 and I will start my barbering course tomorrow :)
31 starting next week
It’s never too late man
Nice video!
What type of camera you using to make your videos?
Canon 80D
Video quality is great 🔥💯💯
🔥🔥🔥 you speak nothin but truth!!! 🔥🔥
Yess! More barber finance content please! 💯🙏
Just gotta have the passion for it so this is not true for some people 💯
The 1st one that’s why you add different types of services so you don’t have to work as much and also sell products
Exactly, unfortunately not everyone is skilled to offer other services. However, you are completely right
Good content 🙏🏼
Can you make a good video of how to change the blades of the clippers short consiso lease
Love this video
i dont think I wíll have that problem cuz my parents own the barbershop
Thanks for this video :)
Hello i like your channel and i like what you do
I just need your advice I have got a chance to open my barbershop where there are 20 barbershops and i am a new barber i have just done a 2 months course and I have done about 70 haircuts. This shop is ready to open i just have to pay the rent and the bills, and I don’t feel confident enough to be alone. Is it good opportunity, or i have to get more practice before opening my own barbershop?
If you have the chance f
Go for it
this is a reality, I am planning to work as a barber here in the USA. I used to do that my whole life in my country. it is no peace of cake l like to do haircut, and l think I don not want to be slaver for no reason. It is good to work, but is even better to have time for the Family. what type of job would recommend me ? I hope to see you comments soon. thank YOU.
I still want to be one it’s my passion
It’s the best industry in the world
@@DavidFalla thank you man I plan on going to barber school ASAP in 2022
sike - im not a client , im a barber and that below is 90% of any clinetle in any shop in any city.... none of that was exaggerated not even a little bit ...you guys think about that !!! lol
How long take to become a barber ? ( barber school )
Depends on the school but it varies to about 10 months
about a year or a lil longer
This guy look like the dollar version of “Tai Lopez” here at my garage guy.
Excellent content...……. Dropping facts & jewels on em #BARBERLOVEFROMTHEDMV
Straight to the point , no messing with this guy. True facts!
What do you think about female Barbers? Would like to try .
25% increase of female entering Barbering.
My way
Ergo first, I'm waiting to see a proper review
the barbershop i go to closes at 6pm so why would the barbers be working after that . maybe at most half hour more
After hour haircuts cost 2-3 times the prices. 💰
@@DavidFalla do you need to have a good memory to be a barber? i have ahard time memorizing steps more than 5 steps . i got a mild learning disability. i can learn adobe software but step by step kind thing sometimes skips a step since i forgot it
@@calvinraldajo8565 no just write it down and practice, it becomes more natural until you can just look at where you're at and you automatically know what to do
@@calvinraldajo8565 fuck no lol. Honestly bro just keep trying to step until you feel one works for you but if you’re under 1 year cutting than that’s normal. This shit takes years to get REALLY good so take your time with it and focus on the quality
Set a routine. Less likely to forget.
I forget many things, but can still cut hair😄
What are you asking
The people and being stuck in a shoe box all day doing the same three cuts. I quit after after 10 years. I started a landscaping business 3 years ago. First year turning a profit. Work is harder but it’s different and I’m outside
Kinda curious about the Ergo, there’s alot of pros and cons that i’ve heard by different barbers
It’s a very interesting clipper. I will give you my opinion soon, I just want to use it enough before making a review
Interesting...
Do the ergo review first! Curious to see what you have to say about it.
Im a supervisor at a factory getting paid lots of money and have benefits but i always wanted to be a barber, will being a barber pay the bills? Will it take care of me and my family for the rest of my life?
I dnt mind being in a shop all day im used to working long hours i just wanna know wat happens wen u have no clientele
No
@@DRose-ed9no short on money and stressful second thinking of being a barber is worth it , better to be stable an guarantee paid then not knowing how the day will be
Factss in this video
Thank you for watching!!! 🙌
David Falla Always Brotha💯
One thing that gets on my nerves is barbers that use hair follicle on my cuts.
Then tell them you don’t want it. Problem solved
@@ThePlanesEnt some barbers don’t ask you, they just do it….
@@keysoteriq2590 Exactly!!! He must one that uses it !
What do you mean by this? Is that like a product?
@@tonibravo4221 it’s a black dye spray that enhances the look of the finish. Only thing I dislike is some use it to cover up where they messed up the edge up
Idk man. i want to become a barber but in Illinois you need 1,500 hours of training and barber school costs minimum $6,000.
Here in jersey is 1,200 hours and 20k so you are getting a deal
Come to NC. Its like 2500
It's worth it!! Plus you get more education with those kind of hours. And make it back quick!! I made $22k my first year 1998.
Heard Cosmetology is around 20k now. I paid $8500k in 1996!!
Then I paid 3k for 150 hours for a Barbering endorsement in 2019. 1950 hours total. I've paid way more on continuing education for the past 28 years. Money well spent
Who's?
Please make the review for the gamma ergo first. 🔥
(older 5 hair cuts)
Saludoos jaja tengo 14 años y ya voy bien metido en la barbería y me gusta mucho
the detailer
Alexander the great.
Amigo David Falla tu hablas mejor el inglés o el español????
Ninguno de los dos 🤣🤣🤣
i went to barber school in 2016 to early 17 and i hated it so much i dislike ppl i never learned ugh i stunked
dont assume if a haircut is real or not but if you feel like it is, who cares.
it's best to keep it to yourself and stay humble, laugh and move on making enemies on responses of you point of view is a quick way to lose friends even tho I believe you that's my opinion and your videos are awesome.
Review gamma + 🙏🏽
Hermano Teach the old barbers to keep up the shear work! 😉
Sounds like you need to focus on yourself..
I’m a successful high value man, this video was to help others have self awareness about the decisions they make with their careers
@@DavidFalla We all are, one thing I learned in this industry.. you don’t become rich cutting hair.. the real money is sell products 🕺🏽
Detailer review first.
such a longgggggg video for 5 reasons, EDIT EDIT EDIT
Stop the hate brother, it’s not good for your soul
Narco
1st!
