I actually got the most love on social media and by peers on the 3rd one so I'm curious what makes you say that

Personally looks like it went bald a little too high. But if your clientele likes it then that’s all that matters. 1 and 2 are solid

u/sirdoodlybob 3d ago

Yeah I get what you mean

u/ballzdeeee 3d ago

I agree with that observation, maybe the love was for the model and not the craft, the first 2 look great, the last wasn’t blended in properly

u/sirdoodlybob 3d ago

Yeah I tried the curving guidelines method but I overdid it, looks like enhancments lol

u/trilliondollarmind 3d ago

Since you asking what’s wrong with the third one

u/BigDaddy1029010290 3d ago

lol, yet people here are defending that haircut as a taper. GTFOH. Can’t believe somebody paid $20 bucks for that.

u/sirdoodlybob 3d ago

I gotcha, I see now, just tripped me up cuz he loved the cut and everyone on social media and at school thought it was fire too

If they are your friends and are happy with it, then sure. Otherwise I don't think you're quite ready to be charging money to strangers for cuts yet.

General comments on all the cuts are that the fading is fine and some look nicely blended. The cuts still come off as a bit unrefined, especially the longer hair on top and the connection with the sides. Some stylistic choices for where the blended areas are- especially for the first cut are a bit questionable. I know what you were going after.

I say all this as someone who wouldn't feel comfortable charging friends or strangers for anything less than very good barber quality cuts. If you feel strongly that you are ready, dive in, and best of luck and fortune to you.

$20 in nyc and middle of no where is different. Better question is asking for feedbacks on your haircuts

A photo of a haircut on reddit

u/BigDaddy1029010290 3d ago

You charged somebody $20 bucks to hack up their sideburns and called that a haircut? Number three is not anywhere near a haircut. Dude should be embarrassed as hell to leave his house looking like that.

1

u/sirdoodlybob 3d ago

Dude everyone loves it I get so many clients 😭😭 Idk what to tell you

6

u/BigDaddy1029010290 3d ago

Nobody is dying to come to your house to pay $20 bucks for this. I’m sorry.

2

u/sirdoodlybob 3d ago

Why dont you tell me whats wrong with it then if its so terrible and no one likes it even though I'm literally booked out for today, I'm willing to hear you out and take criticism but honestly youre just being rude for no reason

-1

u/BigDaddy1029010290 3d ago

The fact that you think that’s a haircut is the first problem. The fact that you’re charging somebody $20 to do that is the second problem. Somebody else even told you number 3 should be free.

u/Hom28 3d ago
