    From one student barber to another, I respect what you're doing here man. Your cuts are dope and I hope you keep it up! One question tho, my semester just started and I haven't had much of a clientele here... any tips on how I can build on it and market myself more in the dorms? Thanks bro. You earned a subscriber on YT and follower on IG.

    • @KevvThaw
      @KevvThaw  8 лет назад +4

      Tsetsenbat Mongol I appreciate that man! And I think the first thing you have to do and never stop doing is focus on the customer. Provide the best service compared to your competition. Secondly have an online presence so people feel like they can reach you easily. Also, business cards are ancient but effect, shows how serious you are. My business built itself because of how serious I am. People want someone who cares a lot about their hair. I'll expound on this in a video.

    When you have a high fade what is it called when the hairline is liked faded or tapered? Is it just part of the high fade?

    • @KevvThaw
      @KevvThaw  7 лет назад

      that's a choice some people make, that wouldn't make it a separate haircut. Just tell your barber to trim the front down for a crispier line.

    • @KevvThaw

    can i get a temp fade from a drop fade?
    My barber didn't listen and decided to give me a drop fade instead for whatever reason..

      You'd have to grow out the hair around the mastoid process(part of the head right above the ear) a bit more to really make temp fade.

      If your barber doesn't listen, when u get out of the chair go and book an appointment with the barber in the chair right next to him...hell get the message.

    So If I want a skin fade, I say to my barber can I have a low skin fade on the back and sides?

    • @KevvThaw

      You wouldn’t have to say sides and back. You can just say low skin fade or low skin fade all around.

    If I said "can I get a high fade 3 on the top to a 1" would that make sense?

    A Caesar is because of Caesar in Rome, his hair was styled laid down all the same length
