 Yo, what's going on you too? So today I'm gonna be telling you guys a little personal story of mine that I hope that it's food for thought And it'll help you out in the long run. I'm gonna tell you a little personal story about mine about like About like two years ago. I actually wanted to stop barbaraing. I didn't want to do it no more I wasn't getting enough clientele that I wanted it. I wanted to and I was in a dark spot in my life And it was actually one person that kind of convinced me. It wasn't one person, but he actually kind of Helped me a lot. It was Jorge. He I Told him that I didn't want to barbara no more and he told me that dude. We have so much talent do not quit and At that time I I didn't listen to him You know, I was in my own, you know feelings like man, I don't want to do this no more It's just not for me no more So I thought about it and I gave it a try. I was like, you know what let me just stick to this and see how this turns out So then look at me now All because I listened to one person and their advice to give me it changed my world completely everybody at velocity Memo to rail Ramon Stan Oda Uncle Kev and also 360 cheesy. They all helped me out so much words that I can't even describe man They are true brothers to me These years have been great, you know, we built a bond over these years Especially me Jorge Jerelle Ramon and memo. We are worked at the same shop before so we kind of had like a little bond but even now it's way better y'all and they're like brothers to me and I want to trade them for the world and They stuck with me through these years so I'm gonna stick with them through these years, you know So the moral of the story is y'all is do not give up on your passion Do not give up on something that you love to do it might not it might not be I Paying the bills yet. It might not be Succeeding yet, but in the long run do y'all It is going to help. I can guarantee y'all that if you work hard at something you're going to succeed I can guarantee you all that I've seen 360 cheesy do that, you know He's he worked hard. He worked his his butt off He worked hard and look where he's at now and I actually got a witness all that You know and look at him now. He's like one of the most viewed YouTube barbers on on YouTube So and he's an icon I actually spoke to him about this and you know the other day I was like, you know the reason why all the little kids want to cut hair. He's like nah I was like because you It's because of you that all these kids want to cut hair now And it's growing the industry even much higher and higher and higher and this is where we're taking over You know like I said the moral of the story y'all is don't give up on something that you love to do I didn't look at me now Just keep working hard and it'll succeed and it'll pay off in the long run So to begin with I'm gonna be combing my client's hair It's always good to comb the hair before you actually cut the hair. So that way it'll be nice and smooth So on this first step, I'm gonna be using my Wall seniors my cordless wall seniors and I'm gonna be using my number one garden I'm going with the grain and why I'm doing that is I'm just trying to get off the hair You know the hair that's bulking out on the sides at that little dark spot I'm just trying to lay it down So that way if you go with the grain the hair lays down perfectly and I can blend into it So much easier that I laid my hair down with that number one guard I'm gonna be taking my and a slim line pros and I'm making my first ball line So I'm gonna be starting from the the temple. I'm not gonna be doing any Side hooks or anything. So I'm back. I'm actually dropping it lower kind of towards an observable I'm kind of making that mid drop fade look. So basically what I'm doing is I'm making my my first ball line I'm gonna be making it as straight as I can do it So that way my guidelines will be set in straight also So for the first step of this mid drop fade at my wall seniors and I have the lever all the way open So what I'm doing is I'm gonna make the first guideline about Half an inch long to a quarter of an inch Make sure that that guideline is straight and when you get to the whatever that you wanted to stop at where your guideline You wanted to stop at you just flick out. You don't really want to make a hard guideline You don't want to just set it in and just make that Hard to take out. So basically what I do it at the top is I flick out from it So that way when I do my next guideline is not gonna be set in stone up in there You know I'm saying my next step. I have my number one guard and we make another guideline about let me guess half an inch long So basically when like I said Just flick out really and as you can see it's not really believing in the hard way because you know Obviously I did that one with the grain in the beginning of the video So usually a one with the grain and if you do a one against your grain It's really not gonna make any hard line So basically what I'm doing is I have my one guard and I'm just flicking out half an inch So for this next step, I have my zero guard. I'm gonna make the lever all the way open So I'm blending down the way I do this is that I Obviously, I have the lever all the way open. I'm just taking as much dark spots as possible It really is it gets easier in time some people might not know how to blend down But honestly it just takes a lot of time and practice to do it So what I'm doing is I just have my lever all the open and taking out all the dark spots So then when I take enough dark spots out, I close the lever just a little bit more And then when I want to get even closer I close it even more. So basically it is going to be Open close halfway open close halfway you play with it a lot to make sure that it gives it that blurry Look that you wanted to be and honestly, it really it's not that hard to do I mean, it's like I said, it just takes time and practice So once I'm done blending down with my zero guard I'm gonna be taking off my guard and I have my lever all the way close So what I'm doing is I'm using my corners a lot I'm not really using my whole blade just because I don't want to make another line So I am going to be flicking out What I mean by flicking out is that you just make that like you take out that little that little line And you just flick out with the corners Once you see that that line disappearing you go halfway and then you go open So basically you want to play with that lever a lot to make it The fade that you want to look honest. You've got to play with it Everybody has their own technique and have everybody has their own way of blending I hope that you guys find yours and I hope that you guys have like learned from my you know my methods So like again Close halfway open this play with the levers a lot I'm gonna be taking the hairs that are we want to have long hairs on the hairline So that way when I line up the hair it's gonna be hard to make that line So I'm going to one with the grain I'm just taking all the hairs and basically what it's doing is it just cuts it all at an even length and it lays it Down so when I hit that line, it would just be so time for this lineup part. So I have my my and this tea outliners. So what I'm doing is it's a little blurry right here, but This bear with me I'm starting from the middle and I'm making my way to the right side and what I'm doing is I'm setting my base in the middle So that way when I line up from the right side and I want to line up to the left side It's all gonna meet up in that middle So that way one side won't be higher than the other So I always tell you this in my videos to start from the middle and then work your way to the right Back to the middle then to the left back to the middle. So that way it all meets up So I'm gonna be spraying enhancements to my client's hair He obviously really doesn't need it, but I want to show you guys every little detail I do into my hair cut so that way when you guys try it on your own you guys would be professionals at it I'm gonna be putting the airbrush in the description below. I'm gonna put in the airbrush in the airbrush Gun so I hope you guys can order yours So that way when you guys by the time y'all have it y'all be Clean at it, you know so YouTube Hope you guys enjoyed this video and make sure you put the thumbs up and also I think you guys so much for watching this video means a lot to me y'all and Shout out to the man that makes my beats and prices Instagram will be in the description and also his YouTube link will be in the description also Feel free to follow me on Instagram y'all and Take care and also don't forget to subscribe either y'all.
