ive been in barber school for 8 month and did not learn anything from the teachers. All i’ve learned has been by videos on youtube or other students who have the experience cutting hair. So if you really wanna learn. Don’t wait for the teacher to do something, get up and seek for yourself. 💪
Verdade!
The schools job is only to help you pass the state test, nothing else.
@@thegoat57 Yea! unfortunately some people (like me ones) go to the school to learn. Some people know nothing, yet go with expectations that they will learn. Gladly i learn by myself and just stayed in school for the license. So i agree! 😅
@@Cooperdude1011 facts bro i thought the same thing when i was in school but you will only learn by getting into a real shop
Yea but we’re kind of paying them to teach us. CZcams isn’t charging us thousands of dollars
I was licensed as a cosmetologist back in 2013. I worked in a salon for about 2 months and then I quit, because I didn't think I was good enough. I am my biggest critic and didn't realize at the the time, that coming out of school you're not gonna be perfect at all. I got discouraged and threw my dream away but I would still cut my family's hair. Last year I tore my tendons in my left wrist from working like a Man, 4 years in a factory. I lost about 20% of my wrist function and I took it as a wake up call. Towards the end I felt miserable there and I took the plunge to leave. About a month ago I enrolled myself in a 100 hr barber crossover program. I always leaned towards men's cuts in beauty school and also wanted to become a barber. Aside from school, I've also enrolled myself in the tomb45 Foundations course. I've been getting ppl to book shave services with me left to right, all while reading the entire Milady book and watching video after video on barbering and hair. I go to school Monday-Friday full time and on the weekends I work at SportsClips and also learn from their system, and apply everything I already know and what I have learned. I l have an almost 2 year old daughter and still manage to make it work. I wasted so much time losing out on my dream, that's why I'm more motivated to doing it right this time. I don't care what I have to, it's all or nothing.
Hell yeah
Wow I’m currently in Barber School right now going about 8 months strong still got about a year to go Since I attend part time but I got to say this is definitely a powerful barber testimony you have here congrats and keep pursuing your dream
You just motivated the fuck outta me. I literally dropped down and did some push-ups. Im not a barber. Im in the medical field.
I follow this community because everyone is MOTIVATED and DEDICATED!
This was an amazing story. Thank you. 🙏🏾
Thank you for sharing your story! That's very inspiring 🙏🏾❤️🥰👏🏾
This is actually crazy. I used to watch your videos all the time in barber school. Kinda surreal tbh. But I appreciate the support man means a lot.
We would Literally watch his video on the tv in barber school now you got a whole video with him🔥🔥🔥 this what I’m talking about man 🔥😭
Congratulations on your success. I’m going to start barber school soon myself, I appreciate both of yalls content it makes it sets the expectation for people that are learning everything on their own.
Im currently in barber school, and i have been in class 5 days a week and for over a month and we havent touched a manikin or a pair of clippers. I'm paying 20k to read stuff i could have read at home for free. Its sad, now I have to attend because I paid for it.
Me to scam
How did it go now 1 year later? 20k seems like a rip off
Lots of experience, truth and wisdom in your review of that video. I’ve been in the game for 27 years and serve on my State’s Board. Keep up the great work, educating the next generation of successful barbers.
Minute 10:50 to 11:10 really hit hard for me bossio. Thank you for that.
I've taught myself how to cut hair using your tutorials and multiple great barbers, and stylists on here.
What people don't get is I PUT IN THE WORK. WASN'T EASY. I FUCKED UP (NOT TOO BAD) BUT I DID. ITS TOUGH.
Thank you again man, so much respect. Hope to meet you one day.
Keep dropping bangers, and blessings to you and your fam.
My barber school here in south Louisiana was $8,000 all together. My teacher has been teaching school for 30+ years, he’s 70 something. So he’s very old school he taught us the cutting basics. But most of my classmates we all were on different levels coming in to school but we helped each other out and looked after one another. I came in raw like didn’t know how to cut a lick but after a year I’m confident in cutting hair and I show appreciation for my teacher giving me a career and changing my life and I thank my classmates for helping me throughout the months.
I am in Lafayette & would like to go to barber school, not cosmotology exactly, someday. Do you know of anywhere around here?
@@dansmith2512 future barber college in Lake Charles on Ryan Street. Its kinda ducked off a little bit but its in a small alley way exactly across from Sonic. Search it up on the internet you’ll find it man goodluck. Sometimes I still go by there when I have time.
8,000? Wow! Mine was 22,000 in Indiana
What was the school you went to?
@@Sabreemeplease future barber college in lake Charles Louisiana
Been cutting hair for 25 yrs without a license or school. Crispy life
Chad
Dracohussle dropping gems. Always cleans me up when im in Chicago 💪🏻💯
I taught in a barber school & we took pride in making sure that the students learn as much as possible along with financial literacy. We teach how to make 100k over a few years so they can understand their value. We have a lot of students on this path. Chris I appreciate you & salute you
Glad I stumbled across your channel man. As a literal beginner excited to learn and grow in this field, this has been a dope resource for me! Keep doing you, you're a beast man.
You speak so much truth I was luckily to have Eddie barber as my teacher
Great I agree with much of the info shared here, i for one went to a great school where I learned a lot however that was back in 06 and the industry has grown. But great point Chris on screening the students and giving a quality education I agree 1000 percent on that one !!
gems after gems being dropped with this one! 💎
One of the most honest videos on CZcams
At my schools our instructors are very hands on and my fellow veteran students are very helpful as well feel blessed
thank you for telling the truth Im working in a great clips never went to barber school it all about practicing and hands on everyday and also watching You tube videos......
Okayyyy UBC in the building🔥🔥
This is so true I had to learn from other professional barbers and learning from multiple barbers allowed me to find myself I’m going for the teachers license soon and I feel like I can teach students the proper way cause everyone might have to be taught differently
love the videos bro always teaching me something ✊🏾 stay safe man
Love the content man. Crazy collab. React to how much barbers actually make by dracohussle too that would be raw
You are definitely right Chris 💯
Buddy definitely knows what he’s talking about , Yall should definitely do a video together 💯💯🔥
🔥🔥Keep up all the good work big dawg! 🫡
You should definitely react to more of his content love it 💯 or a collab or podcast would be so dope 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Awesome content, Thanks
Went to barber school and was only taught by an instructor maybe once ever. The rest of my time in school was. Walk in, set my station up. Sit there all day and wait until someone maybe came in to get a haircut. Splitting cuts between like 12-20 other students would take forever to get someone in your chair. Thank God for Bossio, 360jeezy, getbeamed and many other teachers/mentors that taught me basically everything I know. 2 years later I’m in a great shop elevating and growing everyday!
What did you do before getting into a shop? Did u have your own setup at home or nearby?
Starting of the same way is you brotha!! One thing I know is that I’m not gonna quit! I have absolutely no experience and all I got is my fellow student barbers at school and CZcams.
He said it’s like high school dats gold lmao
Exactly just like high school all over again🗣‼️
Bossio, we talked about this when we met at Clash of the Clippers. Totally agree. Barber Exam is only difficult for the students who aren't applying themselves. Mix that with barber colleges that aren't teaching exam preparation and you end up with a 50% pass rate. I've made a lot of videos on the barber exam topic, offer a free guide and an online prep course.
Moved to Tampa recently , I’m from Rhode Island and no license is necessary to work in a shop . Currently in barber school now in Tampa… from my experience you will not learn how to cut from school it’s all up to you to be hands on and seek outside knowledge. I took a look & learn class at your shop bossio with Kendrix! Appreciate what y’all doing!
Very good advice Chris bossio your on point and your awesome buddy you have achieved so much and I appreciate your experience and I’m inspiring. I’m trying to learn the business part of our industry and I’ve been in beast mode every day and maniquin work is essential to learning how to understand what you’re doing with scissor over finger and comb and clipper over comb and 😅 you can use the same maniquin for many techniques and also
Prepares you for your confidence to get the client the style and cut he or she wants. I can perform any haircut for any client that sits in my chair and after that counsaltation and scalp check my hands naturally knows what tools to pickup and my clients are extremely happy with the mirror and the professionalism and time of their service. I’m trying to say that Maniquins should be done all the time and are great teachers ❤
I'm in school and it's true do don't learn as much as you'd like. But it's still worth it becuz even taking that step to try and learn is worth very much!
When I started cutting hair about 14 years ago we didn’t even have a 10th of the resources these new barbers have and still blame their skills on their teacher. Gotta put that time in and learn outside the shop! I used to watch Donato barber tutorials back in the day..
the barber school I went too was in ct. definitely didn't learn anything about barbering but I learned more about straighten hair color rollers layers etc. not much about fades tapers etc. I didn't mind learning about the stylist part of it ,but lucky for me I was able to learn watching my barber as a teen ..
I graduate this Friday and already registered for the state exam and practical. Planning to schedule the written for two weeks out and the practical 3 weeks out.
I was originally going to work at a franchise but decided to go booth rent instead.
Let’s go Chief 🙌
yo its just like high school, couldnt have said it better, this whole vod is 1000% true, i deefinitely learned in a shop after school. I have a buddy in Chicago that just told me how he hates how he is literally being taught nothing (hes 2 weeks in) and has had no instruction, just told to cut then when he does ask for helpm or something they get all irritated and don't actually help. My school in Ca was the same way
GREAT TIMING. Today was my last day of barber school. 💈🔥
Update?
I started barber school in June. From my experience like with anything I’m only going to get what I put into it!!!
Planning to obtain my instructors license this year so I can open up my own barber school here in the Albuquerque area
Great Content bro !
Crazy I’m watching this video in July I finished barber school like a week ago and this video describes exactly how everyone at my school felt it’s the only school in the area and I personally feel like at this point they’re doing everything for money and it sucks cause we all go there with the mentality to change our lives and it just felt like we were getting take advantage of but moral of the story one of my biggest goals I have at the moment is to open up a barber school where you actually get to learn and be able to leave school and be in a barbershop with confidence
Honestly bro we all ended up learning in between ourselves and stuff that each one of us learned on CZcams and applied it to students cuts so imma end it off by saying thank you a lot bro got to meet you during the CT barber expo and your whole crew is dope af I strive to be like y’all
Not gonna say the name of the school but I am gonna say I’m in Boston so that really says it all of y’all wanna really dig into it😂
❤❤❤
I went to the same barber school as him and everything he speaks is literally facts. This guy is for sure going to blow up
What barber school is that?
Amen on that scissor work.
Been in barber school for a few weeks now, it is more so trying to get you to ace that Exam. Although my school actually guides you through every step and the teachers care here.
It’s what people make of it
My program was 1500 hours 10 month program
I did it in 7 months with working and got suspended once and came back for more to finish
I am a single parent and that was over a decade and then some
I only work at military bases
When I started cutting hair there was times I wanted to give up. Don’t struggle redefines the inside that makes the outside glow

j.p.
Chris, thanks for doing this video. I have never cut hair, but I want to go to school to become a barber. I have time restraints that require me to attend a part-time program. There is a school that looks like it truly cares about their barbers learning; however, I noticed there is not a lot of diversity in hair textures. Should I still consider though I will learn what seems like way more shear work and beard sculpting than fading? I really don't have a lot of options due to my circumstances and areas. I want to have a license to eventually go out to California, which is why I am going for the license.
I went to barber school and did a barbershop apprenticeship. Did school 2 hours and would go to the barber shop after It was truly a blessing now that Im seeing myself type that WOW. But never dedicated myself to Barbering never went to take my state boards to get my license. And after the covid shutdown been working 9-5 and haven’t gotten back to cutting hair. I guess im scared of failing, but right now in failing at life because im not doing the thing I love 💈 “love what you do, never work a day in your life”
I’ve been cutting for 9yrs in the army. I just got out and I’m about to get my license so I can be legit. I’m excited for this new journey.
That’s awesome congrats and thanks for serving🙏
I’m actually a student at Riggins urban barber college in San Diego it’s a really good school they teach you everything from fades, gentlemen cuts, shear work, sanitation and how to get ready for a real shop
Currently experiencing this right now. 3 weeks in and I haven’t learned anything
Bro Bossio you the GOAT! Bro I’d appreciate if you can share some links to practice for the state exams! I’m a Texas barber currently at about 800 hours so I want to be ready🙏🏾 I’d appreciate it bro!
I learned nothing in barber school didn’t even know how to hold comb, but 28 yrs later I’m still cutting hair, because I had a shop owner who cared! The main thing is if you want to be good at it you will be if you stay at the shop & don’t leave every time you go an hr or 2 without doing a cut!
Am in high school right now and in cosmetology school due to not having a barber school near but its not hard as long you put in the work and willing to learn. I do pedicures, manicures, curl hair, do chemical services. I dont really learn about barbering so i learn thru youtube. Get good at what your not good at i know how to fade but do highlights or do curls am learning to be good at it even tho i might never use it.
Old Cat, Uncle Moe Here.
The main point is never stop learning, as long as it pertains to the industry you will nvr go wrong Son.
Keep an opened mind, Gud Luck, God Bless.
I'm not sure about in the USA but here in the UK a look of students quit because they come in wanting to do nothing but skin fades.
Usually they start with scissor cuts such as, uniform layer, squared layers, graduation, washing, blowdrying, styling etc.
Usually by this time students get fed up with cutting blocks and scissors and drop out. A lot of them only came for clipper work!
Those who do stick it out and pass but dont make it a career for the most part dont have the passion and or the belief in the craft in my opinion.
A good barber can NEVER go hungry.
bless up broski👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿
That is true about Barbers quitting school once they learn how to cut, and get a little taste of the shop getting paid
so i'm looking at schools right now. Hearing before hand that i won't learn anything is a bit discouraging to hear. So if I go to a barber school, how do I make sure that I don't develop bad habits? I'f no one is there to really teach me and I'm on my own, how do I make sure that I'm growing the right direction?
Yooo Chris. Buddy sound like he know what he talking about. You should react to his video about how much barbers make 💯💯💯 Fuck around and get him on the video
So also a huge reason why I saw people quitting and making it a career is as follows. When I got licensed at 19 I worked 5 days a week in the barbershop plus two days a week in a salon bringing home around 350 a week. It takes time to build, get better, start making real money. And if you have a mortgage, kids, car bills you are going to drop that to get the guaranteed money when you need it. You will make good money if you stick with it but if you can't weather the storm in your rookie years it's hard, always been my thought and have seen as to why people quit.
I think a lot of ppl quit because they think the money was suppose to come right away and didn’t realize the work you have to put in to get to that point. Especially ppl with families bills etc
I went to barber school and was taught by certified hairstylists. Get into the real world, working under a Master Barber of 30 years. Night. And. Day. BUT having said that, the diploma got me in the door to my Master Teacher who I am so grateful for! Now I'm mastering the clippers finally. Learning to layer and blend with clippers only, instead of scissors. It's wild and what separates us from hairstylists. Master the clippers!
I started cutting with confidence when I was 13-14 y/o. We used to cut friends hair to one another and challenge each other to do flat-top, fades, lineup with clipper only. Then I learned to cut my own hair and since I have not paid for a haircut. Just because I wanted to learn more I practiced on my own. It was difficult because in the mirror you cut the opposite way, but it has been my greatest challenge and way to learn. For icing on the cake God gave me three boys. I have been their barber; they all have different hair which is great for me to teach myself more. Now, I will do school just to get a license to cut and not worry about the law. If I'm getting in it will be all the way. I'm also military al I cut los of military individuals and they love my work,they always call me back for cuts. Thank you for the information. Love your channel 💯
Hey brother I salute you… to me, you going to get that license, which it sounds like will be amateur hour for you, shows real character. Our stories starting out are very similar!! I started cutting hair at 13 and by 15 I was completely comfortable cutting. I cut everybody in the neighborhood by the time I was 17 or so!! Lol!! I did that until I was 21 and decided I wanted to be legit and went to barber school. I’ve been a barber for 24 years now, and I’ve owned my own shop for almost 7 years. Sounds like you already have the skill, so I wish you all the luck in the world on getting your license bro!! Barber love and best wishes from Jeffs Barber Shop in Michigan!!!💈☘️💈☘️💈👊🏻👊🏻
unfortunately in my state, a license is required, but no inspector ever comes into shops to make sure everyone is licensed or that the place is up to code. very frustrating.
Its been the same for me , usually they never show up unless someone calls them to for a complaint. And if they do they will fine you heavy and also the barbershop owner. You don’t need a license to be a good barber, but it sure does make a great barber. “Love what you do for a living, and never work a single day in your life” or something along those lines 💈💈 Bless Up
What us there to be frustrated about ?
Just do ur thing Son.
Unless you want to be an inspector?
Think about it...
I’m an apprentice rn. N I love it ! But I do wish I was licensed already
The Barber School I go to is in MO we do 1000 hours and mine has Barbers and Cosmos. I see between 10-20 clients a week in school, roughly an hour block. Books in the morning, clients in the afternoon, I think it works well.
Yes that's true just figured it out, I wasn't told that but they definitely didn't teach me anything but theory
2 months in barber school.
Chris speaking facts !
Barber school is a waist. I learned on the streets.
Minnesota, Moler Barberschool in St. Paul 💯💯👌
School starts in September for me and I would have to pay off a 13k loan and im afraid how long that might take me to pay , any advice ?
React to more videos of Draco we went to barber school together in chicago
My Guy 💯
I actually just graduated from Barber school. And I think it’s really want you make of it. If you go in with a mindset of not gonna learn anything. Then you’re not gonna learn anything.
I soaked it all in. Some stuff I learned some I didn’t. But it’s really what you want out of the school.
Thank you man needed this to keep pushing towards being a barber, I am expected to start barber school around Aug
@@adamc1046 Did you start ? How do you like it ?
Nah it’s not worth it 😂
A lot of these schools have teachers who did not make it out in the real world as successful barbers/stylists. Salty instructors who have lost their drive and in return cause students to loose passion….. 10-12 months of being lead by instructors who have salty attitudes causes you not to even want to be in school let alone the industry. If school was filled with successful instructors who were motivated then that would result in motivated student’s who want to learn. So after 10-12 months of loosing passion and not wanting to learn….. the will to continue educating yourself through a mentor or even using CZcams is gone. Like you said yourself, it’s high school… where are most high school drop outs or even graduates now?
In my experience so far and after going to private schools and community college. For me community college is the way for many reasons. First the level of education does not compare to a private school, financial aid consist of, book grants, fee waivers, pell grants, forgiveable loans, free transportation and more! Considering you qualify mostly based on income. A private school was charging me 10,000 to 20,000 and even though financial aid was available for some schools you still end up owing. At community college their paying me. I qualified for all subsidies for a total of $5,000 for the semester deposited into my bank account in 2 payments. They got me a free buss pass and paid for my books. The schedule varies some classes are late afternoon some early. Like I said the education level is higher because it's a real college. The instructors are actually giving you a lesson hand on and theory.
That's a fact on jealousy of competition
Hey guys I’m moving to Kissimmee area next month and I’m using my G.I. Bill to go to barber school…any suggestions on a good school in that area…Also appreciate the love and can’t wait to get into the barber community / family 💪🏽
I’ve been cutting since 90 I love it but where I live no school the closest 2hr away did a 3yr collision repair trade degree but cutting hair is my passion able to cut straight and my type of hair scissors and clipper would love to learn color work I want to learn it all no limits
I actually would go get my haircut at Wiggins urban barber school in San Diego crazy enough he sold me my first barber clippers and trimmers the owner there is very involved and always helpful giving his students tips and helps his students with cut as they go very dope person was gonna start barber school there but ended up joining the Airforce now I’m definitely wishing I could be back there and go to school with Urban definitely recommend
I just graduated from barber school last month from Las Vegas there’s no financial aid here too so we had to pay out of pocket 12k shit is no joke for the average person. I didn’t know how to cut hair for shit didn’t even know how to hold the clippers but I went to a great school the teachers were definitely solid it’s called expertise barber institute the people there taught me a lot so did the teachers it’s what you make it I came out the school 12 months later a better man. I take my state board test may 1st 🔥
I go there now, it’s a good ass school in my opinion💯
I honestly feel that barbering has become trendy in more recent years. People see the success, clout and notoriety of “celebrity barbers” and want that but when they get a taste of the reality and what it took to get there they quit from not having overnight success
Can somebody tell me the name of the books you use in barbershop so I can buy them online?
Great video. You should react to the money video!
I'm 45yrs old I've been cutting since 13yrs old, I went to Barber school but I didn't finish I still cut hair. As a matter of fact I fade my own hair and my grandsons
I've been a licensed barber for almost 30 years and I remember when I went to barber school back then the owner/ school didn't teach me anything..I actually just sat in front of a small tube TV with a vcr looking at "my lady" video on cutting long hair..WTF!! so after about a month me nd two other guys took it upon ourselves to go to the senior citizens housing and ask permission from who ever was in charge and start cutting hair..made a ton of mistakes but we learned..when I opened my own shop I stopped hiring people that had experience and hired students that had graduated from school and I would teach them...it was tough for my self as a owner and for the young barber..but if that young barber would listen and pay his/ her dues they would do very well..whether they stayed with me and made good money or opened there own shop or used the barber trade while they went to school and did something else..obviously these young barbers are very talented can do amazing cuts/fades/ designs..I still learn from a young blood barber once in a while...btw I'm a 3rd generation barber so it has changed and come along way..the barbering trade..anyways good video if I can give any advice is keep pushing keep hustling work at a shop and stay. Dont over charge your client but also don't under value your work...treat clients like number one..but don't put up with b.s. carry urself with professionalism and respect because after all the work that you do is being looked at by many many people and that can be a lawyer dr. Military law enforcement blue collar worker...and people see that..take pride in your craft..it will take care of you..did for my gfather..father.bro..and me..god bless bossio...
Didn't you find it awkward to leave your patron and go over and "teach" a newbie how to do something on a haircut? Your guy can get upset because you leave him alone to go help, and the patron in the newbies chair is upset because its like, hey cant my guy cut hair?!?! So seems like hiring all those newbies would hurt your business while their learning.
@Dion wheather it bothered my paytron or not it didn't matter because my goal was to help young barbers to learn the craft and alot of patrons understood. If they didn't they could go somewhere else. He'll you can't pls.everyone..hahaha
And it didn't hurt my business because at one point I had 4 barber shops with 6-7 barbers in each shop. So know it didnt..we all got to learn..
@@lalo9907 I was up to five shops, but lost three to Covid. I am an old geezer now, so I just went ahead and retired from being behind the chair. I still have two shops. Biggest problem is getting dependable people that have any kind of work ethic. Years ago people put more importance on their job. Now the attitude seems to be if they can fit work into their "life" they'll come to work. If not big deal! Makes it hell for the shop owner trying to build a business though.
@Dion yes I agree I only have one shop now. It's very difficult to find good barbers that want to work.
I did not know signing up for barber school they would be teaching me about roller sets and flat iron etc that is my main issue with them
Hey bro Paul Mitchell school was crap, if I get the books can I pass the boards exam? What about the hours is why I wonder, thanks homie!
When Cain's Barber College was up they didn't have passionate instructors, just on the clinical floor doing nothing
How do i get walk ins on a brand new shop ?
You are 💯 right
They set expectations on themselves on what they should be making or doing by a certain amount of time and at the end of the day they just don't put in the work and/or those expectations were too high. I am sure I will do it but comparing myself to the person in the chair next to me thinking I need to be there in the same timeframe or right then. My pseudo-mentor warned me of this.
When i was in barberschool, i was in a class of 8. first of all, i was the only one to attend all classes. let alone i had a model every lesson they asked me too. when comparing myself to the other students, they skipped out on lessons because they didn't have a model to work with. the less models you bring to class, the more frustrating it is and eventually you'll quitt, because you don't find anyone to let them cut their hair. You don't feel trusted by i guess. i'm the only one from my class who still cuts to this day.

I worked in Astor place in les ny learned how to cut from owner JR. in union city lived and trained in other shop cause anyone who went to Astor place was packed drinking drugging
In shop it was allowed as well as smoking cigarettes and your a role model for all brother peace and blessings.
I choose paying 20 grand instead of 6 in the city in Chicago because i had no idea on cutting hair and i knew they weren't going to teach that well in the city .
so if they don't teach how to cut hair, where do you gain experience in that? You can learn and pass the theory on the test but they also require practical part of it, right?
during quarantine I bought everything to become a barber I was 16 looking for a way to make money and I thought i’d pick up being a barber in my garage. from experience I thought it would be easy, aslong as i followed the videos i’d do a good fade. I was wrong i kept messing up and when i’d ask friends to practice they wouldn’t let me because they wanted to look good. only 3 people would let me cut there hair and practice which was my younger brother, my cousin and his friend. I was cutting 3 heads maybe once or twice a month and over time as I was getting better with every cut I did, it was to slow for me so I gave up. Now i watched martyblendz video on a $100 budget kit and i’m going to try it again. I have two friends who get cut pretty often and are willing to let me practice my fading on them, my little brother will let me and my cousin and his friend will let me to and now i’ll cut about 5 heads. all I ever need is someone to just stick with me through the struggles and I’d reward them in return. Hopefully they stick with me and just let me learn on them so I can make barbering a side hustle while I go to college.
