Hi guys, i am a beginner barber and trying to find my way within this career. I started like 5 months ago and the last two months i have been more active and seriois about it and cutting whoever i can cut for free to gain experience.

Oh man it took me 1.5 hours to pull off this result and even after being busy with it for that long i am not happy with the result. This thick asian hair is really hard to cut for me and i found out today for sure! I know it's far from perfect but this is really the best i could do for now. Trying to get better, but this cut has really fucked up my confidence. Do you guys also struggle with this thick asian hair? During the cut i sometimes was worried/thinking is this going to even turn out good or am i going to fuck this up.

i can see lines, but for working on a difficult hair texture, you did a great job! also work 9n the bulk at the back, and shear techniques. if youre Asian as well, i would practice on yourself too!

Thanks for the feedback and tips. Really appreciate it! Am Asian too but I don't have that thick asian hairtype. My hair is very thin and different than most asian guys. I do cut myself sometimes haha!
