- Thought it was about time I tried to get another video online, and as this one came in I had a go with a new camera.
let me know your thoughts, I know theres no talking and I also know that sometimes the cam isn't looking in the right place, this is due to not having a screen to check whilst taking the video.
As for the cut it's a Flat top and we use the andis excel 2 speed with the .25mm blade at the start, then I use the DT3 Trimmed (andis again) this I have set at aprox 0.05mm its shorter than the Andis outliner at 0.1mm. the clippers I use to do the rest of the cut are the Wahl Chromstyle and the comb is a large Wahl flat top comb (so I've been told)
Thanks
Steve
Superbly cut Flattop. I'm a fan of this cut, but it's incredibly difficult to find a barber with your skills here in the UK. Over the years I've skilled myself up to do it myself, but it's never quite the same as sitting in the chair and watching a master barber like yourself do it.
+buzzukfiftythree Thankyou :)
Where are you based in the UK?
This is an excellent flat-top. You know when to use heat and Krew Comb. One of the best videos I've seen!
Thanks man.
I have watched many haircuts on the web but this is a real good flattop
Very nice flat top.. thank you for the video.
Glad you like it!
I didn't mean to offend anybody but I've been doing these cuts for 20 years. Many barbers waste a lot of time cutting the same areas of the cut 3 or 4 times. The key to time saving on a flat top is to take the sides to your desired finish length with the first pass. Straight up the sides of the head then make your first pass down the middle freehand. Work your way out to the corners then lightly round them in along with the crown. I will try to find time and a willing customer to let me video one for you.
Happy cutting!
+Adam Winklemam Thats cool man we need more videos of proper Barbers doing good work. This cut is done in half the time it took on here, it was just getting the camera to be looking in the right place all the time, and going slow enough so anyone learning would be able to follow. Remember when we teach there's no point go so fast people can't take it all in. No offence taken, glad you like the cut. Just one other thing this one is graded at 0.05mm just under the Andis outliner (0.1mm) so does that a little longer as I cant use the trimmers to cut that much hair off in one go.
+Master Barber Launceston Does (take) a little longer...
This client had obviously favoured the Crewcut hairstyle over the years, so this particularly nice even-coloured grey bristly hair must have been a joy to work with.It is not worth while having a Crewcut unless 0.05 blade is deployed. The End Result is that
this gentleman certainly looks ten years younger, with the shape of his head accentuated. I think that he was very pleased with the result....The barbering certainly was meticulous in the detail that was filmed.This was the work of a Perfectionist !
andrew cluer thank you for your kind words, I’m glad you liked the video. I enjoyed cutting his hair too.
Really nice work bro!! I've been a barber for 20+ years and you give one of the best flattop sovereign seen!! Nice attention to detail!! Very impressed!!!👍👍💈💈
Thank You Jeffrey, we all have different ways of working and this was a favorite of mine. Glad you like it too. :)
Steve,
I really enjoyed watching your video on doing a perfect flat top haircut. Wish I had a little hair on top of my noggin so I could come in to your shop and get the royal treatment from you. Since I am bald, I have opted to shave my head so I have the ultimate very short flat top. You did a great job and it looks awesome. THanks for sharing this video with us.
great haircut he looks much better now
I learned from my cosmetology training to alter the way hair lays by applying tension to the hair with a dense / stiff brush and holding the hair in the desired position until it is dried. Not necessary for this man as he has perfect hair for a flat top. Many do not have hair that naturally stands up and it is very challenging to make it work. I recommend that customers choose a different style that suits their hair or be willing to blow dry, gel and work at shaping their flat top every morning. In my experience as a master Barber for 28 yrs, most men do not want to invest the time in styling their hair.
I'm right with you there Fred, thanks for the comment, This cut was done a long time ago and i've moved a few times since then but i bet he still has it lol. I'm developing new software for our trade I'd love to know what you think, it's: www.barbersmart.net There's a few videos on it's CZcams page if you'd like to have a look. Thanks again, glad you like the Flat Top...
The fella in the chair has rolled back the 80s! :-D On the cut and technique itself, this is a fine example of the benefits in clipper over comb - some more videos please Steve!
Thanks for a lovely comment. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Steve
Hes had this cut for like Ever! it's a great one to do... thanks
Nicely done, good looking cut.

You got mad skills bro great job
You make it look so simple almost like skinning a banana,
the man know`s his gift !!
Best I've seen yet
Thanks.
been hairdresser for 30 yrs. just a couple shortcuts i want to share with you . do not ever use products that will clog your blades cause you know they are expensive , i personally charge xtra if clients have gel, mousse , etc. i have used krewcomb all these years doesn,t have products to mess with my blades . good luck to you !
Thanks I don't like people with product in there hair as well but in this case I need to get the flat top as sharp as I can, and you can see I use a different set of clippers for this cut and the blades are cheaper. Thanks for watching.

hairdresser. 😂
Very nice flat top
STEVE MY FRIEND!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE GOOD!!!!
Good looking flattop
Perfect! Thanks! It' s very good job and lesson! Thank you very much!
Excellent haircut love the tight finish with comb and razor on sides and back. could do with you cutting my hair
Fantastic flattop.
good angle you capture ...
very hard to find a barber who can cut a flattop.
david fl hi David thanks for the message, this was done when I owned a shop in Winchester UK now I live in Tasmania Aus and I might be moving again soon. Where are you? and if I’m that way I’ll let you know. Thanks for watching 😊
Hi, I'm in melbourne florida USA. very hard to find a barber here in the states who can cut a flattop. I like your work.
Thanks man your too kind :)
Check out that deck! Let's talk about that landing strip.
That's a perfect flattop. Where is your shop, Steve?
Outstanding work! I'll have one just like it. Wish you were located in Idaho...
If you get the Andis DT3 trimmer you can adjust the blades, it's the only one as far as I know, but it takes a few tries and my face was sore too but we got just under the outliner blade that Andis make
mastering craft clipper over comb flat top
Thanks. I think we've got the camera ok now (see next cut) after this one so I'd like to get this done again and make it more instructional.
I have a flat-top and when it gets long enough for a fresh haircut, I always shampoo and blow dry it before going to the barber. I think maybe he can do a better job shaping it...after I have done this part !! Thoughts ??
+zeb quakenbush It's always nice to cut clean hair, I'm sure your barber thanks you for it.
zeb quakenbush I am a barber and with haircuts like this it is absolutely appreciated for u to wash and style before coming in for a cut
Because this cut is shorter than any grade or guard, although I do use the Andis & Oster clippers and they have a blade for each length, I find they give a better cut and I don't have to keep going over what I've already done like I use to with plastic guards.
Thanks for watching.
Steve
Wish I could find a barber that could do that job. Awsome but I'm on the Philippines
nice one man !!!!
I'll be in Christchurch but for a flat like that, I can make the hop to Hobart....Do you take appointments from the States or New Zealand or might one just walk in...? Best flat I've ever seen.
Sorry I've just seen this comment, thanks for the complements, I now manage Launceston Barbers in Launceston www.launcestonbarbers.com.au. We only do walk ins No appointments, Glad you like the video, cheers guys.
I use a side fading technique with a detachable #1 blade as it feeds into the hair faster. After that I shave off the sides and back. It looks very unorthodox but it works better. Check out Ivan Zoot for a video on side fading. I have been doing this for 20+ years. It is not the way most are taught , yet it is the fastest way . By using shortcuts one can get a flat top done in under 15 min.
Excellent flattop! [:-)
That is an excellent moderate flat top.
The barbers that talk the most trash about fades spend the same amount of time doing these.
HI Steve,
Great flattop! A true pleasure to watch from beginning to finish. Thank you for sharing your skills with us. I would love to sit in your chair and let you shear me down. I love horseshoe flattops and have some great photos of this extreme radical military haircut and wouldl like to be in your chair and a demonstration model of a really great horseshoe flattop. Let me know if I can be in one of your videos?
Many thanks,
Robert
P.S. Where is your shop located?
Dont have a shop any more but when I start my next job ill post where I am.
Cheers
Hi I'm in Tasmania now www.masterbarber.com.au
+Master Barber Launceston Website change... www.launcestonbarbers.com.au
exelente amigo,me encanto
Try using your 000 up the sides first then the outliner under it on those extra short cuts. That should save some time and work.
+Adam Winklemam Yeah I do start with the 000 and then move onto the Andis T-edgger. I now have the Andis Supra ZR ion clippers... Love them man, Love them.
Hi Steve,
I still think you are number one on the flatttop market. As I have mention before I would love to sit in you chair but have two important questions? Have you ever done a horseshoe flattop and question number two is exactly where is your shop located??????
Sorry it's taken a while to get back, I no longer have Steve's Barber Shop. Let me know where you are and If Im about that way I'll let you know....
Oh and yes I can do horseshoe flat tops too.
Your first pass on top should be the very front center to establish your guide and work from there toward the back and edges where the sides tie in. Another thing is NEVER touch the top with your hand after you blow it up so you dont knock the hair down that you just blew up!
Its high on the left top. There you go touching it and knocking it fown again!👿
To show you how to do a skin fade quick is pointless, you need to get yourself the right equipment (thats what feels right for you and does the job) and practice. A lot of people like the sliding clippers but I prefer individual blades or the clippers like the Wahl Chrome Style it has an adjustable blade. Most of the work is done with the movement of the clippers on one blade and this is where the practice comes in.
Good luck and Thanks for watching.
Steve
Flattops aren't hard haircuts to preform. The guys that want them are just too particular. They do sit very very still though
Winchester, Hampshire. I'm afraid I don't work in this shop any more, I moved to Tasmania 4 year ago and now moving on again....
Who's next SIR?
Great flat top mate, do you not use the old Brian Drumm Flattoppper!
No I just use a Wahl large flat top comb it's the only comb I use to cut with and then I have a fine comb for the edges, I have found I can do all the haircuts with these two combs so it saves carrying more.
Thanks for watching.
I'm using this video to show to my barber, Great flattop! My hair is almost as gray as this gentleman's and I'm ready to go back to a very short cut. What are the lengths top and sides?
top is as short as the comb and sides are bald or as short as poss with your clippers. Thanks for watching
what mousse r u using.? is mousse is better than heat protectant? CAN U DO BROCK LESNAR HAIRCUT
+SRIRAM' s GUITAR Hi I have no idea what mousse is better than another I use it to make sure all the hair is standing up straight & strong so when I cut it it's perfect. Sorry I don't know what Brock Lesnar haircut is.
+Master Barber Launceston type brock lesnar on google and see his haircut cause i cant post it here and pls try that
and what mousse did u use?
bom
What's the name of the foam you used to prep the hair?
Hi man, It's not that important what foam but a good hold is best. It's only to make the hair stand up better before cutting the flat top.
Thanks for watching. :)
What Product did you put into the hair ? Was that a Mousse?
Yeah just a mousse to help the hair stand up.
thanks
Thanks bro :-)
Идеально. Спасибо.
does the clippers run hot? I was thinking of purchasing a pair.
The clippers I use are great, the blades will get hot on the Andis clippers if you keep them running for to long but that depends on you. As for the clipper its self never had any of mine even get warm.
Thanks for watching.
Steve
where is ur shop if i visit in future ill come there
+SRIRAM' s GUITAR Tasmania. Look forward to it.
15 minutes start to finish!
+Adam Winklemam Let's see the vid then... Post the link for us!
Cheers :-)
Where are you locatedd
Hi Rick, I'm in Swindon and Oxford now.
Try this andis-t-edger 11 trimmer
How comes you don't use any guards
Guards are for sucky barbers. If youre skilled in your craft, you have no need of cheater type tools like giant flattop combs with levels in them ( which theoretically will only work if you plumb bob the head😂) and/or big bulky guards which leave a lot of uncut hair in their wake. The smaller one's are justified if you need an extra step up from a metal blade. Otherwise, you should be able to use clipper over comb, shear over comb, finger/comb/ shear or freehand. Ive been a barber/stylist for 40 years and can say this with confidence
salan cox gozel
The very front looks a little to short.
Thanks for watching, the client was happy with the cut and a regular clients that had followed me through 3 shops. I'm sure he was satisfied.
@@StevesBarberShop lt came out nice. Just a personal opinion.
when will u do the cut
+SRIRAM' s GUITAR When I get the time and the client in for it, at the moment I only have 8 flat tops out of over 3000 cients and none of them have good hair for the cut your looking for.
Not a bad cut just took too long.
You try it and video it by your self and see how long it takes.
Are you still cutting hair?
At the moment I'm not because of the COVID situation but I'm hoping to get back to into it as soon as things go back to normal, may even look at getting another shop of my own. :)
Ok thank you for getting back to me. We’re are you based?
@@SBBoy68 I'm in Gloucestershire UK now.
Ok thank you. Let’s hope we get back to normal soon
@@SBBoy68 Yeah I'm with you all the way on that one.
0.03 mm
Jayson Medrano in this video I use the Andis Outliner blade and that’s 0.01mm. Not sure if this helps but thanks for watching. 😊
type brock lesnar on google and see his haircut cause i cant post it here and pls try that
+SRIRAM' s GUITAR OK so Brock Lesnar has a flat top 0 sides and slightly rounded edges, yes I can do this cut.
+Master Barber Launceston do for a guy with black hair becouse tis guy is fair and his hair is white i cannot
see his edges. do the cut to a guy who has hair in forehead and not lost hair
show the videos in different angles
pls
Look me up at town and country barber shop on Facebook.
