bossio I think I speak for everyone when I say that you don’t know how much we appreciate you for what you do for us in the industry, nobody else on this platform gives back, gives advice, gives nuggets and gives genuine help for us and the barber community, nobody helps others like you and I feel most ppl will agree with me, just wanna let u know ur guidance doesn’t go un noticed, and I’ll be forever greatful for you
im a barber for 8 years, and you inspired me alot, and i always can learn from you, i live in a small town have a very busy barbershop but ive alot of dead hours during the week on the morning, i found that grooming pets if you already a barber its actually very easy, went for the course for it, made 1 part of the shop just from grooming pets, and my friend its amazing, all this cause i always was inspired for you, from your path, keep going man
Honestly what made me quick was once you got your system down start trying to learn techniques that can cut down on time. Figure out areas you can speed up on and commit to learning how to achieve that consistently. Your time will go down and it will naturally be your new cutting time. Also do a rough draft of your haircut in the first 10 minutes. Then go back and detail it. You will visually be able to see everything you need to fix because the haircut will be 80% done already it will stand out more to you. Quality over speed but if you can master both its a deadly combination. I take 15-20minutes on my clients. And i dont have to rush or go super fast and stress myself outor scare the client out of my chair. I just move a steady consistent pace. The time saving is in the techniques and steps you take
This was bars! I’ll never forget I was trying to help one of my guys who had stuff everywhere, and he said “Youre telling me you put everything back where it was, every single time?!?” Yeah every time. Second nature is a MUST
Always giving out gems…I’m glad to see how successful you have become,brother.god bless you and your family and always keep your head up,no matter what anyone says to you.
Chris,I have been following you since 2015 ,when I started learning to cut hair,while I was a chef for many years. Your videos have not only helped me become a better tradesman but are also inspiring me to this day with the overall evolution selfwise! Thank you for that ,and please keep it up. I love the episodes where you highlight all the barbers you work with at Headlines! Greetings from Athens,Greece
Aye bro, I love that idea with your kids for Valentine’s Day. That’s unique and something you don’t see at all when it comes to something like this. And thank you for the advices. I’ve always questioned, how can I get faster without sacrificing the quality.
i got to say if there’s somebody that ain’t giving back like the boss, you in the way… now boss bro thank you for the art, i’m not even licensed, and i got over 60 clients, and i started out with 15, and cut as a mobile barber… extremely humble, i was a student at one point working in my bros shop, long story short had a kid, and couldn’t finish, but i kept the craft going, and i make ends meat, and everybody fed…and i still work a am-pm j’o…with cuts, but thanks for the Game G… i’m 38, and started late but i’m all in…to all reading this don’t catch up set the bar…🗣Profit💨
@@Bossiocuts absolutely. It's mutual I been following you and your peers for a solid year. Tomorrow the 9/7 my last day barber school up here in Frederick Maryland. I'm more then likely going to go to dc on 9/24 to see what beam n Sean has In knowledge. Thanks again Bossio. Be blessed 💯💪🏼🙏🏼
You were the first barber I learned from on RUclips since I first picked up barbering as a hobby back in grade 10 in 2015, but I dream that ONE day after I graduate with my education degree, I'll go to Barber school as well and maybe ONE day, I'll open up a Tomb45 shop in Japan hehe. I've been getting into barbering a lot lately and been cutting a lot so I want to see if I can pull this off.
Thanks Bossio for the inspiration. I was a fan and looked up to you before you started to show how far you could take this, and all I can say is, you are an inspiration, YOU are HIM
I have my own barbershop. I was giving 30 minutes appointments but I've decided to give 20 minute appointments (haircut and styling) . I only wash their head if I am going to do color service. This gives me 2 free hours per Day, instead of working 8 hours, 2 haircuts per hour, 16 haircuts per Day, I work 6 hours per Day, 3 haircuts per hour, 18 haircuts per Day. More money and more free time. I work 2 hours in the morning (6 haircuts) and 4 hours in the afternoon (12 haircuts). I hope this helps!! Greets from Argentina!! 🙌✂️🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
What comes with working there is definitely a great opportunity but if someone is struggling they may not be able to afford it. Jus sayin we never kno someone’s situation so that POSSIBLY could be the reason for asking although that may not be the situation in most cases. Respect what u meant by it tho brutha. Sometimes we jus gotta take those chances n understand the situation 💪🏾..Keep Motivating King
I disagree.. shops with higher booth rents typically do it because the value is there… you have to make money to be able to pay the rent.. I’m not saying never ask what booth rent is, I’m saying don’t lead with it because you need to know value before you ask for price… if I can guarantee you first week you’d make $1000 at booth rent of $200 a week with much higher growth potential because we promote the shop versus just telling you both rent is $125… which one would you take? Most shops just want their rent regardless of what you’re making
@@Bossiocuts mos definitely. Im not necessarily trying to disagree.. it was more of how u said it. It was very blunt n some newcomers may get the wrong message out of what you’re saying if they dont understand that.
@@PresPrada hmmm I’ll have to rewatch it.. we are talking about employment tho right? Find out what the value is so you can see if rent is worth it…don’t turn down a opportunity to make more money because your first question is how much is rent and you’re looking for the cheapest deal. most people starting a job can’t afford any rent if they aren’t making income, I hope no one assumes that’s what I’m saying 🙏 I appreciate your feedback, gonna rewatch the video
Fr as a new barber 1st semester in school rn I watch all these. Your awesome keep grinding. Also if you could let ya boy know when your gonna drop tomb45 clips for the low pros that be dope.....I want the wireless system soooooo bad
I got a tomb45 battery on my magic clips they last way longer and have a very noticeable amount of extra power I love the tomb 45 replacement batteries
If you ever need help with this one bossio let me know too. I’d love to share. Starting out as a cosmo 10+ years ago beginning at a chop shop where you have to get done quickly you’re forced into doing a great job quickly.
you cant think that way, theres some type of hair you can do faster then other, ive customers that i work on them for more than 4 years and sometimes i do on 30m and on another day 45m, i speak for me, i cant be consistent (with time)24/7, ive days that everything flows others that ive to be more patient, but you should not take 1hour unless you are learning, it all resume to how well you know the hair of the customer you are cutting, for a new customer i always take my time
@@mjbarbeiro5762 I totally agree with that. I have clients that I've had for years that take no time and other clients I know I can make up time. I'm just curious by nature, and watching Chris talk about efficiency made me think to ask. Thanks for the reply!
@@treydj94 for me is not about rushing cuts and sit people on the chair, i like to enjoy what im doing, and my back and feet will thank me later in life xD,
Like I fully agree we need to have an arsenal of clippers but I’m my case bro I have one unbranded cordless clipper taper blade a wahl deluxe chrome pro fade blade as my balding clipper that’s it I don’t have a trimmer cause financially I’m not there so would do I do ? And trust I’m wise with my money but all my money going to getting by so I can’t save for a trimmer or a magic clip
Bossio. I bought your tomb 45 eco battery for Wahl senior. Had it a week or 2 and it stopped working. I was so disappointed cuz the battery ain't cheap and I was excited to have it but maybe there's a way I can get a replacement
Hey man sorry that happened… that’s why we have warranty tho because we know accidents happen. Just reach out to support@tomb45.con or go to our website and click support
What do you call a mid fade that is not skin? Im from NY and my barber would give me a regular mid fade ( half fade) but I know things differ from state to state.
I'm curious... I own 3 shops in Pa. I'm thinking of switching from % to chair rent. Do you do rent or %? If rent, how did you decide on a fair, yet profitable price? Some people do day chair rent.. wifi l which is more at the end of the week. Versus weekly. Example: daily is $50.00 a day... x6 days... if 300a week. Versus a weekly is 250 or 225. Thoughts? Input is appreciated.
It depends on a few things most barbers prefer booth rental ,commission you as the owner should always come out making more if everyone is busy booth rental is better for the barbers ,if your thinking about renting your booths out think about how much your overall overhead is and how much is the shop price for walkins the booth rent can’t be 300 if a hair cut is 20 the bast cut should start at 30
Hey bossio whats the best way to get started into becoming a barber. I cut for fun but all my friends I cut on are saying my cuts are fresh and why not become a barber.
I've been thinking about the 6 figure method. Is it really true that barbers can make 6 figures? I mean on average barbers make $21,000 a year. So is the difference in how much you make how much you charge? Or is it if you live in a highly populated area? How does it go from 22k average to 100k? I'm starting barber school soon so I am really wanting to know.
Sure if you wanna be busy all day every day every week. This industry has no handouts and no breaks. So if you love high competition , on your feet all day. Talking to a different person every 30min - 1hr. And mentally capable of putting out a fire haircut each time. Then yes. After/during all that you can start branding yourself on the internet. If you do it well enough you can get sponsors / endorsed etc and even sell your own products. Boosting you into the $100k + bracket. It's an amazing industry but it's Def not easy or for everyone (Barber for 7yrs currently) I'm in a burnout. I need a vacation, but I'm still in the shop killing these cuts and giving it my all. My pride won't let me be mediocre. Goodluck.

And thank you for the advices. I’ve always questioned, how can I get faster without sacrificing the quality.
such a w dad for the valentines thing setting fire examples so they know what’s good when they get on there own
Thank you, for ALL of these gems! Good lord you are a huge help to our industry!
I only own 1 clipper and 1 trimmer ☹️ been doing this for 2 years now and the consistency is always there
Keep Grinding
Recommendation : Get at least two each. You can work faster and not overwork the clippers. You will do good, keep it up! 👍

Enroll in the closest barber school to you, start building clientele & start charging 5-10$ & slowly raise to $20 When you have enough clients
So booth rent price isn’t important?
