Relatively new barber here (a couple years into the trade). I did not get very many reps with these cuts in school, so I really appreciate the tips and instructions. Could be the best flattop I've ever seen as well....great job!
Cuts like a boss, this cut shows how to not go so short that you ruin the entire head on top . Can’t rush this type of cut nor get cocky in your ability!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@@slimthebarber Thanks! Ive been practicing for 6 months now and noticeable improvement! Mostly in how much time it takes to cut his hair 😂 Used to take me ages
I am a barber of 40+ years. Nice job on this person . Its not to often you see a the perfect head for a flat top. And it looks like he keeps it up great. There is nothing like giving a person a flat top every six months ( or longer). I know you like just water, but now that Krew Comb is gone what do you use for a product if you do use it? Plus do you find with that wide toothed flat top comb that it can look a bit choppy when you cut parallel to the comb? Like i said, a very nice job...
One of the Hardest Cuts to Learn. I usually cut Flat Tops Free Hand, only do Clipper Over Comb if it's absolutely necessary. Comes out Perfect Everytime!
@@slimthebarber I usually just snap on a #2 or #1.5 for the sides and back, go straight up the sides since those sizes are the most common. Stand the hair up on top and I'll just take a #000 and skim it over the top free hand til you get to the crown, snap on the #2 or #1.5 and round the crown out so that meets into the flat point I cut with the #000. Saves alot of time! When I first started cutting hair, it took me about 30-40 mins to perfect a Flat Top, now I can do them in 7-10 mins depending on hair types. I still get the Old Timers who are mostly bald but still want to get the Flat Top with whatever hair is left on top which makes it tough cause you can only take it so short for it to even look like a Flat Top
@@JoshBG20 Thanks, man. That was kind of my plan. I will try it. Do you have any videos of you doing it? Love to see it. I'm going to have to find someone who will let me try and I'll record my first try.
Thankyou for this great video. I've spent years trying to find a hair stand-up product; waxes, gels, glues and cements, that would work without undesirable effects of one kind or another. Now I know the answer: No product at all, just proper technique! Thanks again!
I hope it helps. Sometimes if I get someone whose hair just doesn't want to stand up, usually because they were a tight hat al the time, I spritz the hair with water and add some foam shave cream to the hair before the blow dry.
My dad's flat top to the right of me when he was with me and Marine Corps training in Aberdeen Maryland You did a good job but I wish people would stop stealing ourmoring core are slogans are cammies are haircuts I don't know why people in civilian jobs like cops wanna debow everything that we create just a bunch of wannabe's but sir you did a good job you just missed the landing strip down the center that is one key to a true Vietnam core flattop As a hairstylist of girls guys Of all different From 1A to 4C I can see you never went to Virginia Farrell for hair but you still did good I give you An ohhraaa But The Joker in the seat if he aint a veteran and hes a cop stop trying to be a wannabe You'll never have what it takes to be a United States marine let alone a veteran we fight for freedom give civilians freedom where you take their lives and jeopardize them 2 different fields stop trying to look like us but I guess imitation is the ultimate form of flattery It's OK go ahead and cut that 1 to be here even dogs need a haircut
If there’s a line, you can see, I can 100% say I choose shape over fade on a flat top all day every day. And having said that, heads without wrinkles or divots are usually perfectly fade just by the shaping of the flat top. If the flat top does not appear to be faded, it’s usually an issue with the skin, head or lighting.
I've a question for you. If you lived in a small town with only two barbers. What had his hair all messed and chopped to shit, and the other had a perfect cut which one would you go to?
Nice cut, but I don’t allow clients to munch on gum during their cut. It’s like trying to cut hair during an earthquake, and blending is impossible when the parietal ridge is bobbing up and down with chewing .
dude I live in Florida Orlando and I cant find a single place that can cut, they when you call them tell you yes we can do a flat top, but let me tell you, in 6 months I have walked out of the shops without paying. Its so disappointing.. and it has gotten so bad that I would make trips up north just to get my hair cut
Guys, im gonna make 21yo at august, and i love this job, i would like to start, starting by buying all the stuff a barber need, and work on my parents and some friend, spending much time everyday watching the technics on CZcams. What do you think about?
In this video, mostly Andis BGRc with a battery on it instead of the plug. I don't think they make the battery anymore. The newer cordless Andis rotary motor clippers are the Supra models. And they are super nice.
I go to a barber that 70 years old and he still don’t know how to cut a flat top he never cuts my hair the same way twice and I always say I’m never going back I have to come home and fix the screw ups myself but there’s no changing an older dog you can tell him all you want but you’re the customer you don’t know anything fact is I get better flat tops than he does learned cutting hair in military 25 cents my barberAnd I use that term very lightly never inspects his work never never shows you his work I don’t believe he’s ever been to barber school and I will never go back again if my hair gets to be as long as Simpsons I will never go back again
I’m a barber and I thought I did good flattops but you do great flattops. I do them very different so it was fun watching you. Thanks 💈
Thanks for watching!
Because of your video and easy to follow instructions, my wife has been able to cut my flat top with amazing success. Thx
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
I drive 40 miles every two weeks to get mine cut properly. It's become a lost art in many areas of the country. Great work!
Ha!!! Did almost the same since 1996 until my barber retired 2 years ago....haven't found another who can cut it correctly now!
Relatively new barber here (a couple years into the trade). I did not get very many reps with these cuts in school, so I really appreciate the tips and instructions. Could be the best flattop I've ever seen as well....great job!
Thank you! I hope you get a chance soon to put any of the techniques to use!
Nice flattop but i need a shavedup side 0:22
Thanks you for this video. It's been a bit since I've done a flat top and was happy to find this for a refresher.
Thank you and thanks for watching.

Thank For you gave clear instructions on how to cut a flaptop.
One of the Hardest Cuts to Learn. I usually cut Flat Tops Free Hand, only do Clipper Over Comb if it's absolutely necessary. Comes out Perfect Everytime!
I still have to try that. My hand is not so steady. Do you run the clipper right on the high point of the crown to start? With a 0, 1, 1.5?
@@slimthebarber I usually just snap on a #2 or #1.5 for the sides and back, go straight up the sides since those sizes are the most common.

I love the cut. I would like to wear my hair this way, but too thin on top. I would like to see a video for a flattop with thin hair.
I can probably get a video of that done.
Very nice work, an even and practical flat top.
Thank you!
Really cool, and well done.
very nice.
Nice job. What do you put on the fat top to keep it up and pliable?
@@josephineprincipe1682 just a blow dry on this one. But I recommend a dry finish product.
The top was Awesome but you still have to feed the siding because there was a line of shade bad at the end

And having said that, heads without wrinkles or divots are usually perfectly fade just by the shaping of the flat top.

Thanks I learned some good tips
Great! Thanks for watching!
my mans got the cop haircut
That man got that get down give 50 push ups cut
Thank god he didn't make me to 50. I look like Bill Murray at the beginning of Stripes.
I've a question for you. If you lived in a small town with only two barbers. What had his hair all messed and chopped to shit, and the other had a perfect cut which one would you go to?
Thank you got it the first time your awesome
YUSSSSS! That's great!
As a barber I must say excellent work. Hated that haircut with a passion until I learned it. I still think it went out of style in 1995.
To each his own.
@@slimthebarber Not to mention they look like a total douche
Awesome flattop similar to my flattop I get at carmelos in palm coast Florida
Thank you!
This guy knows how cut a flattop
Nice cut, but I don’t allow clients to munch on gum during their cut. It’s like trying to cut hair during an earthquake, and blending is impossible when the parietal ridge is bobbing up and down with chewing .
Thank you. It is quite vexing. I tell them to hold the chewing while cutting around the temples.
Great video!
Thank you!
Do you use a gel to get it to stand up?
Can you do a video on your camera sett up
Very good!👏👏👏👏
I am barber in Brazil✂️
Thank you! Hope your shop is doing well!
Hi slim the berbar what cliper you us four flst top
Sadly, most at my workplace is not willing to even TRY a flat top on me. I would love to get one.

Nice just like Hank Hill.
Excellent flat top!
Thank you!

Awesome job
Sharp! 👍🏼

great cut
great hair cut👍
Thank you!
Great flat top
Thank you
I think it’s cool and were can I have this done
Thank you. Check your local barbershops.
I wanna get this just for a goof. Lol
Do you recommend anyone in the Port Charlotte area of Florida to do the flat top?
excellent
so, I assume that after a shampoo, he has to blow dry his hair to get it to stand up again?
He just uses gel. But I do recommend blow drying and then adding a little product.
Great education video. The model could lose the gum.
thanks. and yes. I actually don't like anyone chewing gum while I cut.

There has to be someone down there who can do it. If I find anyone, I will reply again.
I was taught to put wax on the hair for a flattop. Happy to know it isn't necessary 😏
Very difficult to cut through wax.
awesome
Awesome
Thanks for watching!
what's the best flat top wax to use?
Instructions unclear. Had to buy a wig now. Thanks!
Did you use the 1 1/2 blade on top?
1.5 on the top of the faded part, yes.

So boring watching barbers doing this style on someone who has been wearing their hair like this FOREVER. Predictable outcome. Looks good, I must say
A+++

Everything in this demonstration is great! 1 thing I could do without is his gum chewing.

LoL Brooklyn 99
Omg...why
Çhewing gum and cameras,every ametuer. I think not a cop as he's not bullying or,shooting an innocent person , maybe he is , haircut and donut time.
If you use complete sentences when you insult someone, it helps. Better luck next time.
as a barber this haircut should not exist
Says the guy who probably can't do it correctly. Variety is the spice of life, my guy. If all you do is pomps and basic fades, life is boring.
Why is homie just staring into the camera close your eyes bro
the flat top is so easy yet. so ugggly
You’ve been easy and ugly your whole life. So I guess that makes you an expert.
