I have to 100 percent agree. I think because your commentary was a bit harsh, it will easily be conflated with someone who is a hater or passing judgment without much thought, or barber experience, per se. This has little to do with abilities of a barber/stylist, it’s more to do with your perception of a haircut and it’s almost always subjective. The reason I tend to agree is because, other than being a brunette and not a ginger, I have similar hair texture and overall hairstyle appearance as the client, and I’ve sat in my share of barber chairs cringing at certain techniques used on my hair that I feel do not suit hair of a fine and straight texture. This doesn’t mean client is loser his hair, it just means that it carries with a lot less bulk and weight than someone with a very coarse and curly texture, both of which are equally susceptible to male patterned baldness, for example. Your commentary about transforming thicker hair into thinner hair has always been my pain point as a customer. A barber is not just respected and valued for their skill in cutting and styling, they are also revered for their ability to consult with clients as to the desired outcome of their cut, and go further to provide recommendations based on their expertise. This is one profession where the customer isn’t always right (tattoo artists being another), and sometimes an elite barber is viewed as such because they won’t always listen to what a customer might want, because their vision of a finished product is essentially impossible to achieve for a number of factors - could be hair texture, length and overall characteristics about their head of hair, which is unique to only them. In that case, they shouldn’t heed to a request if they feel the outcome is either in achievable or, and this is what sets them apart, not advisable to perform on the client because it won’t visually achieve the desired effect they are looking for. As such, shears have always been the bane of my existence. Again, I am not a barber or stylist, but I am speaking specifically to the haircut that was commented on here in what I feel is an informed manner because I have similar hair and I’ve gotten a similar cut that wasn’t visually what I was going for. Quite honestly, clients with this type of hair generally do their best to either enhance or maintain a level of thickness or texture that when styled, and often only exposed when completely wet, does not expose their scalp in any form of lighting, giving the impression of weak hair composure and an appearance akin to someone who may be thinning or in some stage of balding, or make patterned baldness, to be technical about it. This has also been a very taboo and sensitive subject for many men, and they will forgo having this discussion with their barber, who should be the first person they are comfortable consulting with given their expertise, and allow them to have free reign on their cut and style, which sometimes can result in a technique that they perceive as being one size fits all, but, in actuality, is the completely opposite. Removing bulk or weight in order to achieve a more effortless approach to styling does not mean you have to essentially tear the ends of their hair into uneven strands, ultimately reminiscent of the broken and split ends that we are customers go to our barbers to get rid of. This technique is meant for customers with a very specific texture, usually much thicker, and aiming to achieve a very specific style, which is usually a lot longer and may include layers and more sophisticated styling and products, thus requiring more complex techniques. The desired result they are claiming to achieve with shears can just as easily be achieved using clipper or scissor over comb at the top of the fade, in order to connect it more seamlessly to the fade achieved using clippers with a variety of attachments for different lengths which are covered to excess on RUclips ie. 0, 1, 2 etc. That’s all I feel your comment was meaning to convey, and I’ve always meant to elaborate on a similar sentiment that I feel you are trying to convey, but is simply confused with someone being a hater on someone else’s technique - generally a complete stranger. The whole point of RUclips for barbers is to showcase their work with the goal of either increasing their customer base, or gatherings insights, tips and honest feedback from their work. Both good and bad. This cut wasn’t bad. This barber isn’t bad. And the end result isn’t bad. But it is not meant for the customer it was performed on, however, and here’s the catch, it could be exactly what they wanted and they could’ve walked away competent satisfied, and, here’s the true confirmation of their sincerity, they return and become a regular client. In that case, your work is done and to each their own. Remember, it’s their hair and not yours. 🍻 #DrusViewz

Tex avery was the looney tunes animater and he also vioce acted aswell
Shame about the square neck on the 1st cut but other than that a good cut
hi
Just a trim. .?
They butchered the ginger dude @43:00. Bro walked in with a thick head of hair, walked out looking like a chemo patient with a cross-eyed barber.
He looks cleaner. Fresher. Not as rugged as before. I think he was going for that look, in the barber's defense.
Love the Ginger new look 🎄🎄🎄♥️♥️♥️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🎚🎚🎚🙏🙏🙏
