Binge drinking and getting hammered is not a good thing but it is socially accepted, expected and even encouraged. My dad went sober in April 1984 (he died seven years ago) and he always celebrated his "new birthday". Every single year. I once asked him why he'd stopped drinking and he said: " because you wouldn't be talking to me now, you'd be visiting my grave". Keep up with the good work, Dan. Thanks for your content and for that CLAP in your hands 👏 everytime you introduce your guests!
I'm not a barber or hairdresser and came across your page by accident. I love watching your videos. You are honest and truthful with clients which is a rare thing. I'm a manager in social care which is stressful but your videos are my way of relaxing and de-stressing. Keep up the good work Dan 😊
I am sober from crack cocaine 😊❤for 25 years. From alcohol 20 years, and I am proud. I quit smoking in 2004 while in paralegal studies. Dan, take it one day at a time. Set a goal. You have been loved here. Your craft is great. However, health should be more paramount. You got this.
Dan, what you've explained about finishing work, but staying behind for someone who comes in brink of closing or a tad late, and accommodating them, I feel that goes for every profession under the sun. It all depends on mind-set. Loved this Q&A! I am so behind on video watching but I made time for this one! Love your work, big fan. You have taught me how to cut my dad's hair! You giving info on the length of the blades / clippers was invaluable to me.
Great video, thank you for your open and honest answers. I love the question about your tattoos especially the one about your kids names in their handwriting. I noticed This too shall pass on your hand, that is a quote that my husband says to our son all the time! I look forward to all of your upcoming videos!
Your story is so heartfelt and your skills are amazing, love how you work your scissor, it looks so cool to watch you working so fast . I stumbled to your channel by accident and got hooked. Love the way you talk to your clients. I want to sit in that chair and get an amazing hair cut from you. It’s a shame I’m in the USA and you are in the UK. Who knows, one day. Best wishes to you, you’re so amazing.
Brilliant Dan much appreciation for you sharing your expertise and challenges you’ve overcome. very inspiring, very real, very cool. well done you, brilliant❤
Another great video! One of the things I like most about Dan is his honesty with his clients but also his openness and honesty with us…his followers! Thank you Dan and stay strong!
The USA and love your videos. So special to see where you came from and over time, willingness to not give up and hard work you show what anyone can do. Thanks for taking the time for Q&A. U rock..love your tats too.
I was with my Southern Baptist sisters when they dragged out a bottle of wine and got mean before the bottle was uncorked. It was so ugly that I quit drinking. That was 13 years ago.
Great and inspirational video, Dan. Two things you mentioned. 1. Comment about cutting curly hair and if it will stay curly or not? I chuckled because for me, my head has like 48 cowlicks and natural curls when it gets passed a certain length. Until then I look like a locker spaniel! 2. Congratulations on being sober. It's been about seven years for me, and I can't believe what I was doing to myself. I truly appreciate your value of staying willing to learn and grow in your craft. You're a joy to watch!
Crazy how much i relate to alot of the barbers on you tube , especially guys like yourself you who worked the block for years and what i like about you Dan is like myself willing to admit you are still learning, and possibly always will be but gaining more experience on a daily basis.
That’s the most difficult! A client you put your heart and soul into, they look a million percent better, and they don’t like it! I’ve found that over the years, those are usually the clients that no one can make happy! One client I’ve been working on for over 3 years, her friends ( also my clients) love the new look. She ALWAYS complains about something. Her sister told me recently that’s she is SO picky, her last hairstylist refused her service. The main way to not let it shake your world, either do t waste your time in them, or just knowing you did your BEST and let it go
I started following this channel before the pandemic, and i became a fan of Dan's work and liked him in general. He always showed kindness and professionalism, so saying he became sober long after that came as a surprise but it makes me very happy. I had a similar weight loss journey, i was overweight since my teenage years up to my late 20's, until i decided to just eat less dinner, literally lattes with cookies lol, the results were amazing. People were actually freaking out about how much weight i lost and i was also getting certain looks i wasn't used to, i knew i was looking good lol, but some people close to me said that i looked too skinny, even sick after seeing my chubbier self for years, they were used to that, so like Dan i found a happy medium, no way i'll go back to being that chubby guy again lol, congrats Dan! much love from Venezuela.
Dan cheers, becouse of u and ur videos i achive tghings i tought i will never achive u are my inspiration ive sat hours and hours on youtube and watch u do ur magic in 7months working for salon ive alrready open my barber shop and work alone since been 2years now owning my bussnies and being bussy thanks
Hi Dan congratulations on getting Sober I know it is not easy to do but I'm so happy for you and love watching you keep up the good work and praying for you
Hi Dan! Nice to hear you answering these questions. I applaud you for getting sober, that’s probably the best life choice you made for yourself and your loved ones. I had a similar journey. Than a question for your next round of q and a’s. I am not a barber/hairdresser but I love to relax watching you work and chat along. Can you name your favorite hairdresser for women on youtube? Keep up the good work, you’re quite the one interviewing people and asking questions considering hairloss. You have a special talent, besides being excellent with your scissors. Bye Dan!
Watching your channel is a real pleasure! I was pretty sure you were a friend of Bill, and the triangle in the circle, and the "This too shall pass" made me smile! I'm a little withered old crone now, and got sober in 1971, but I still am grateful every day, and I try to be helpful as I can. You stand out as someone who is genuinely interested in other people and want to help them. Yaaay! And watching your artistic work is always fascinating! Thanks!
I'm new to your channel. I'm a retired hairdresser and I find your story and your videos inspiring. They almost make me want go back to the salon. Lol. I do have a question, how to you deal with cowlicks? They drive me crazy. Any suggestions??? Keep on cutting and creating.
Here I have been sitting wondering if you ever had female clients and now I know! But I have to ask- do they have shorter haircuts or manish haircuts? Or do they have more feminine styles? I ask because my oldest daughter is a trained barber for 25 years and now has a hair salon where they service both women and men- she had to go back to get further credits in order to be able to cut women's hair...
I worked in a ladies and gents Hairdressers in the 1980’s. There was a barber working there who started work in the 50’s, his method of barbering was wild to me, what he did shouldn’t have worked, using thinning techniques as well as scissor over comb, but the end result worked. I wish I could go back now and ask him what the hell he was doing. 😌
You are a kind person. Your ability to.put the cut to facial features and head shape is amazing. The scissors become an extension in your hands. Do y6u cut your children's hair?
I have to say, I’ve been to so many barbers and in the end I didn’t like it. But then I understood, for my hair and for the finish that I want I have to go to a hair stylist, no a barber…
Lol, I've gotten the dreaded text from my hair person of the time more than once where they inform me that they're moving or leaving the business for a new life. It's awful finding a new person that can do a scissor cut. Most barbers in the states just give high fades with the clippers and they aren't very comfortable when I tell them that I want to leave some length.
Hello loving you channel i have a client with white course hair im trying to grow out from 2 guard asymmetric hard part any videos or suggestion as to how and what to do thank you
I think you’ve got to have belief in yourself - everything you believe about yourself is reflected back to you in your reality, so if you want to be the best barber you have to believe you’re the best, if you want to become wealthy in this career, you have to have self worth! If you belief you can do it, you will 😊 Excellent Q&A xx
Hey Dan, I really like your hairstyle / hairlenght. Currently I wear really short hair / fade but want to go a bit longer, like yours. Whats the length on the side and on the top? Would appreciate your answer. Kind regards from Germany, Chris
I am way beyond 40 and still have a pretty good head of hair. I like to wear the sides short because I live in a warm climate. I was surprised by your definitive answer on no fades for men over 40. I'm not trying to be "trendy" but I like a good tight taper on the sides and back. Why do you feel there is an upper age limit?
Overcoming addiction is totally dependent on two things. The first is "Surrendering", and the second is "Willingness". Surrendering to the delusional belief that "by ourselves" we will overcome today, the same thing we couldn't overcome yesterday, or the day before, or the week, month, year, or decades before that! Then having the willingness to live differently. By "differently" I mean literally moving our feet in a way that allows us to live in the solution, instead of the problem! Without surrendering and willingness, we're phucked! All the best...Mark 5/8/1994 ✌❤
Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV) 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. Eternal life is a free gift. You cannot earn your way to heaven. You have to accept the Lord Jesus Christ and the finished work of the cross. I pray that everyone receives the Lord Jesus Christ by grace through faith. ✝️🙏🙌
hey, do you have any tips how i can bring back my natural blonde pigment in my hair? when i was a kid iliterally had white hair, later i had really bright, beautiful blonde color. with age they get darker and darker what makes me really sad :( i know its also because of weather and in the summer they will get more shine and they will be bright but i want to use something that will help
Hair is looking so freaking sexy, love the color so much…..hair envy for sure 😊 Thanks for letting us into your personal life, you are a true inspiration to many of us ♥️ hugs.
My question is: why do I NEVER see YOU cutting a AFRO TEXURED Client's HAIR....is it because you're not good at it or you detest this particular HAIR TEXTURE...just asking?!
Can you cut a womans/girls hair the same way? Using the "horse shoe," and continue on for a bob? I've watched other hair cuttery shows, but, you're the most interesting, and entertaining to watch. Thank you. From Atlanta, GA. USA

Very happy that you are sober. That’s a big statement and such encouraging one for so many. Keep up the great work
Congratulations! I lost 120lbs 15 years ago and got sober 10 years ago. All praise to God. So happy you're happier. :)
Good for you!!!
@@Cristinactthank you! 😊
So proud of you for getting sober Dan, such a big accomplishment you should be very proud of yourself brother🖤🙏🏽🤗
Thank the Lord you are sober, love your videos and your accent.
By far the best barber I’ve ever seen. He definitely gets it!

Looking forward to it!

Was concerned you were I'll.
You look so well and young.🤗
I like your Hair Dan...5 Years since I completely Quit Alcohol ...EVERY area of my Life has improved massively 🎉

You're right DAN..... Josh Lamonaca is the world renowned figure revolutionizing a system for men's haircuts. He's the co-owner of Menspire.

You're very inspiring, refresing and down to earth!
Thank you for sharing.
Wow the timing of this video .. Some things you can't even question
A nice little refresh to the videos .....liked it 🙂
Something different, nice!

Love the silver hair and dark beard look . Awesome videos Dan .
You look great Dan, really happy for your health!

So handsome, Dane. ❤❤❤❤
Cool video, I enjoyed it!!
Very interesting, thanks Dan
Cheers from Australia ❤️🦘🦘🦘
Dan the Man! Love the vids!
Sadly most of us have a form of addiction or other. Great that you are aware. Keep it up 👍👍
I worked in a ladies and gents Hairdressers in the 1980’s.

On the ethnicity side of things it would be pretty cool to see you cutting an afro hairstyle I don't think I've seen it done in Dan's studio before.
Congratulations on your sobriety 👍. Sobriety for the win❤
You are a kind person.
Your ability to.put the cut to facial features and head shape is amazing. The scissors become an extension in your hands.
Do y6u cut your children's hair?
i love your hair and beard
the color difference is really cool/attractive
Thank, take care ! I have enjoyed your videos !

need to see u do a two block cut!
Weldone on your weight loss , you truly look fantastic and healthy.
Can u please explain more about your sectioning when u do palm to palm cutting?
Hello loving you channel i have a client with white course hair im trying to grow out from 2 guard asymmetric hard part any videos or suggestion as to how and what to do thank you

hey Dan, was wondering you have ever done or would ever do the David Bowie hairstyle from the man who fell to earth?
Have you ever had to deal with a client who insisted on getting a hair cut that you know does compliment them?
Hi Dan, can you recommend a barber or hairstylist who resides near Vancouver, Canada?
Hey Dan, I really like your hairstyle / hairlenght. Currently I wear really short hair / fade but want to go a bit longer, like yours. Whats the length on the side and on the top? Would appreciate your answer. Kind regards from Germany, Chris

I’m shocked the ladies hasn’t taken over as your clients.
Such great advise and good news! Me, too, in 2021. Yes you were too thin, and now you're "just right" as little red riding hood would say. Ha, ha! Cat
Hello Dan, I am in my early 50s. What would you recommend for me to become a barber (school, internship, training, etc.)?
I'm a friend of Bill's. I noticed you are too.
Do you dye your beard since it's so black compared to your hair? I find my beard gets grey faster then the actuall hair. It looks really good!

Hey Dan, great channel
I'm 44 and want to retrain as a barber, is it too late to make a career of it? Thanks
My question is, what is that accent?
hey, do you have any tips how i can bring back my natural blonde pigment in my hair? when i was a kid iliterally had white hair, later i had really bright, beautiful blonde color. with age they get darker and darker what makes me really sad :( i know its also because of weather and in the summer they will get more shine and they will be bright but i want to use something that will help
What style is your hair? I want the same cut.
Hair is looking so freaking sexy, love the color so much…..hair envy for sure 😊 Thanks for letting us into your personal life, you are a true inspiration to many of us ♥️ hugs.
Dan bro 👋
Congrats I’m doing the same!
Would your channel ever feature a gender neutral cut? I have medium length and get lots of layers. Would be the dream to have Dan cut it one day
Ever consider doing any women's cuts?
Cocker spaniel, not locker
My question is: why do I NEVER see YOU cutting a AFRO TEXURED Client's HAIR....is it because you're not good at it or you detest this particular HAIR TEXTURE...just asking?!
What is your favorite hairstyle that you have done?
❤
Have you cut a females hair on your videos?
❤❤❤🌹🌹🌹
Do you ever cut womens hair?
First👀👍
Not quite, but it was VERY close! 🤣 Still second though, Martin! 🙌
Meghan would not except or ask for guidance because in her mind she knows it all…
Can you cut a womans/girls hair the same way? Using the "horse shoe," and continue on for a bob? I've watched other hair cuttery shows, but, you're the most interesting, and entertaining to watch. Thank you. From Atlanta, GA. USA
