    @myyt3824 Před rokem +7

    I remember being in cosmo school. We started on men's cutting and my dad was my model. We were taught strictly clipper over comb. No guards. I was so scared I was going to screw it up because it's so close to the head and it seemed hard to hide a mistake. It took me a solid 18 months of doing only men's hair to feel like I could show up to work and tackle anything that sat in my chair with quality and precision. That's a long dang time lol but it was so worth it. I kind of wish I had gone to barber school instead, but I'm ok with not using a straight razor.

But I haven’t let that stop me. My first cut was solid, it wasn’t great, but it was good. So I feel what he’s saying about just go and it’ll be over before I know it, cause I wish I could. But I’m just gonna pave my own path and I hope other people out there will too.

    How do your new barbers start with there prices? Do you decide? Like beginners from school do they get to pick their prices ? I’m asking bc I just opened a shop and it’s chair rental, but I had someone come in without any clientele and wanted to charge 40$ a cut even with walk ins, I had to let them go bc of many reasons but that was the one thing I really didn’t know how to do better as a boss. I have a full clientele and that’s why I charge my price but I feel beginners or no clientele should be cheaper to build there books.

    Hey Sean! I’m currently a barber in the Uk I have been working in a shop now for nearly a year it’s a small shop but super busy. We do commission here which is 50% the week just gone I cut 65 heads in a 5 day week and don’t get me wrong the money is good (£20 for a normal cut a little more for a skin fade) but I just can’t help but feel I’ve already hit a ceiling. Like I can’t physically do many more hair cuts. Any advice on how to progress ? I know chair rent is an option but the owners don’t seem keen anyone with advice is much appreciated.

    • @Seancutshair
      @Seancutshair  Před rokem +1

      Yeah commission isn’t something I’ve ever done but sounds rough. Imagine you were doing the same but paying chair rent you’d be making 30% more! I’d look into that or potentially raising prices. I don’t know if that’s an option or not.

    The spot I cut in doesn’t have a big mirror. Do you think that suction cup mount would stick to a wooden cabinet?

    I’m 37 - turning 38.
    Just started barber academy last week and it’s the best decision and I’ve come from sale and construction.
    Also broke my back last year in an accident and was lucky to be alive!
    But also do photography and CZcams as a side hobby. And want to keep growing my channel.
    Again I have the DJI mics and love them bro !!
    Get a wrist wrap or sweatband thing and clip the mic to that, what I’ve seen other barbers do, sounds awesome! 🫶🏻🫶🏻
