 Hey guys, this is Matt Beckham free salon education comm and I'm here with a another point of view haircut right away I want to point out that Ryan has a scar on the back of his head And this is something that's been a big issue in the past with haircut videos I've done with him people thinking that we nicked the back of his head, but So we can get that out of the way, but let's start off. We're using clipper over comb technique We're cutting up pompadour style. You know, this is something we've done quite a bit of videos on I don't want you to so much focus on the end result of Ryan's hair I like using Ryan because he's totally open to being filmed first and second just Letting me really spend time in detail is haircut. So we're going through clipper over comb working diagonal back This is something I've done in the past But I want you to see from this point of view what I like about the point of view haircut as you can see Exactly from my eyes what's happening and I want you to see the consistency of the combing Because that's what's really going to make a nice fluid men's haircut because the challenge with men's hair And what a lot of you would know I mean, I think the thing that freaks people out in beauty school is that if you mess up a men's cut or you cut Something wrong you can tell because it's so short. So I'm just going in keeping consistent with your combing and Working through so you can see that line. I work it just below the parietal ridge So down more temple area and we work it back a slight fade down towards the occipit of bone in a diagonal back Kind of formation now I'm going to go diagonal forward just to work right at the nape of the neck right on the corner there And then I'll go back through diagonal back. So it's almost like we're cross-checking As I'm going in working clipper over comb you kind of want to go both ways So comb it diagonal back cut it Then work diagonal forward or vice versa, whatever works best for you Then we're going to work into the nape of the neck just working horizontally That'll I'm using the guideline from what I was just cutting diagonal back So I can see the short hair over there, but just make sure when you're Clipper over combing that you're working the the blade of the clipper right against the comb That's why I like using a thicker comb for these type of cuts. We now have on shop FSE It's a the 209 ys part comb. It's great for clippering. This is one I picked up I don't know. I'm not sure where I picked this one up But it's great because it's the width of the clipper so it works well So same thing working the the nape of the neck working diagonal forward first and then going diagonal back towards it So you can tell It's really all about the consistency. I did the same thing on the other side So now I'm gonna do the same thing on this side I've seen a lot of hairdressers when they're doing men's cutting They just go in and just start cutting away quickly clip or cutting through it And then all of a sudden you got to go back and fix everything As you're going through so just make sure that you stay consistent work an area and then move on to the next area Don't just fly through the head and then go back and fix it Also, you can notice that I'm not moving that clipper really fast So, you know, I've said this before but just make sure that you move that clipper along the comb and Add a nice speed so that it actually cuts the hair all even you don't want to rush through this You can see me working kind of back and forth on that. That's really just to Define that line, you know, just keep working that line in now I'm going to comb his hair all the way over and then just take from the parietal ridge down and comb it down That's where I know I want to build that weight up is at that area So I just push everything else out of the way and focus on the hair that I'm working with I'm gonna get a little closer around his hairline. I'm not gonna work that too much because In reality, I'm gonna take that a little bit shorter So I'm gonna grab a different comb for that. This comb is probably about as thick as a one guard So I definitely want to use a smaller comb later on Throughout the service. I like to grab the blow dryer down. It's kind of a benefit of having the blow dryers above you just to get the hair off of him because Any guy that's gotten his haircut. He knows that it's it's kind of annoying having all that hair fall on you So just get the hair off there blow it off and then get continue your cut Plus, you know, it cleans off the hair around where you're creating the haircut So it can't open up and show you if you need to work a line a little bit better or whatever So I'm gonna grab my trimmer This is another wall clipper. I like the t-finisher It just allows me to have a little more length when I'm cutting Around the perimeter and everything and around the ears. So now we're gonna start working right on his hairline I like to detail the hairline. I just think it makes a haircut stand out I know a lot of barbers do this stuff This isn't really me trying to do a barbering technique Really edging out his haircut. Well, what I'm doing is just detailing the sides I mean, that's kind of what edging a haircut would be but For Ryan, I'm just trying to make everything have a shape to it So if in the more detail work you do the better the haircut's gonna look and I think this is a lot of the details that as Hair dressers we leave out. I don't think barbers so much leave these details out I guess depending on the barbershop, but This is something that is gonna really make your men's haircut stand out over anyone else's so just going in I'm using now a 2 3 4 Yspark comb That we have on this shop now, which is pretty cool but I'm using that because it's very flexible and It has the wider teeth, but it gets you really close to the skin So I like that a lot and you can just see I'm working that comb through and just detailing everything I'll do a little trimmer over comb there But just refining the edges of the haircut now we can go behind the ear Just bending his ear down now using that T trimmer behind the ear just working that line in You don't want to just pass it through once you can see I'm working back and forth Now I'm gonna go a little bit tighter in there with the trimmer Using a different comb because the first comb we used is Make the hair is too long with that comb So now I want to go in with tighter tighter comb there now. We're gonna work the back I'm just gonna start working my line and this is one thing that I Draw one line first and then I'm gonna round the corner off So just using the the trimmer backwards to define that line That's another reason why I like the T trimmer because it's a wider angle So I'm gonna work that line across connect it and then I'm just gonna round the edge off Makes it a nice cleaned up look to it And then I can turn the trimmer around run it and just clean off the the little hairs on his neck So same thing here working the trimmer Connecting it. I just don't want that hair kind of overgrowing. That's what's gonna grow out first So for a guy you definitely want to get that cleaned up in there And now I'm gonna comb the hair over to the other side and we're gonna work that down Behind the ear again staying consistent. I did the same thing on the other side There's not there's so many times when I first started doing hair that I would be In the middle of a men's cut I'd cut his eyebrow Just to clean it up and then do a little bit of his ear hair And I take him back and I wash him and then we bring him back in and he'd be like Are you gonna do my other ear or eyebrow and I'm like, oh, yeah, totally I you know, I just didn't get to it yet, but you know, we all forgot So it's staying consistent working through making sure that we're Doing everything. So if you do think do it on one side Just make sure that that's where you're headed for the next move is to go over and clean it up on the other side So I just work my way around the head staying consistent and doing the same thing Again that two three four comb really gets tight in there So that's why I really like it is just the ability to flex in it to get tight to the head Now I'm just gonna round off that corner Now you're gonna see me work in the trimmer. I want to start cleaning up his facial hair Just a little bit and all the little hairs that grow around your face because those are all things that when you start trimming them up it just gives their face more detail and Shows more definition within the facial hair and the haircut. It just puts everything together So I'm gonna clean up his facial hair a little bit. I know he likes his facial hair So I'm not gonna take it away, but I just want to detail it clean it up for him It's it's an there are add-on services where we would completely clean up your beard or do something like that But for Ryan, he's not looking for that. He didn't upgrade anything. These are just little Things that I do just to make sure that he looks clean because you could do a really nice haircut on someone But if you don't touch their beard or you don't clean up their ears Or you don't take care of their nose hairs that are growing out Then it doesn't even look like you did a haircut So just make sure that you really are paying attention to the detail work within the men's caught again using that trimmer just to Detail the edges right around the nape there and take it nice and tight nice and cleaned up All right, so now that we've got them all cleaned up around the edges now. We're gonna move on to the top We're gonna use a our spray bottles. Let him down This is that Mizutani fine mist spray bottle and it was funny because When Mizutani said they were gonna send me one of these I was like, you know what? All right, I guess that's cool I had always used a spray bottle from IKEA And the first time I used it I was like, oh, like you finally realize What using something even as a spray bottle a quality spray bottle what it's like using something like that The bottles that we were using from the beauty supply store or wherever they they spray out like like a garden hose and You know when you spend a little bit more money on a spray bottle We just got in these ys park spray bottles as well It just the mist that comes out It doesn't soak the person and they're not dripping wet when you're wet and I'm down So, you know, that was a big moment for me realizing that you know There is a reason to spend a little bit of extra money As you're on your tools and what you're using because you use it every day on people So we're gonna part his hair. We got him all wet down. Now. I'm gonna make a nice clean parting where I'm gonna part his hair For the finished result of the haircut. We're gonna work scissor over comb The reason I like to do this wet on this particular part is I want the hair to clump together a little bit more You could do it dry as well I know different people have different opinions on that when I'm working scissor over comb around the parietal ridge area I like to just you know have a little bit more grip on the hair so Sometimes I feel like it tends to push the hair a bit when it's dry And if you're gonna push the hair at all you're just gonna take more time getting a clean line So now we're gonna work over our fingers So you'll see my sectioning is diagonal back in a way following the round of the head What I want to do is just connect that to the back of his head So some people have a disconnect back there with this type of haircut But I like a nice cleaned up back to the haircut So we're gonna work over our fingers. Oh adjusting the camera there We're gonna work over our fingers and you'll see how the Tip I think I'm asking him does this camera angle look good. So I'm running that one steady blade across my finger. So even though I'm working on top of my fingers There's still no Pac-Man movement to the scissor blade just one blade moving I have my guide blade resting on my finger and then I'm just moving across cutting So I'm gonna check the calic area make sure that it's kind of moving in the way that I want it to So we'll pass that around and if I feel like I need to adjust it, you know, that's a good time to adjust it I think as hairdressers we get caught up thinking if we did it one way We have to keep throughout the haircut doing it that way and I think a calic is completely breaks all the rules if you want To cut a calic differently because you feel like it's gonna make it fall different Then you should go ahead and do that If I want to leave a little bit more length around that calic so that it falls right then I'm gonna do that I'm not gonna necessarily match the calic up with the haircut so slight over direction back with this but really just following the round of the head and Just cleaning up the ends Ryan likes the top of his hair long and with the pompadour You don't want to cut the bangs too short because they won't pop. It won't pop up and over so I'm gonna make sure you don't do that now. I'm gonna push this back He's got a little bit of you know a recession in his hair I guess and so what I want to do is I want to take it nice and tight so that pompadour part of his hair as it Creates that kind of pomp feel. I want this part in the Pridal ridge area. I don't want that to get in the way I want the pompadour to lay flat over all of it So I'm gonna take it nice and tight right around that recession area Again working scissor over comb. I did it on the other side now I'm gonna come over here staying consistent working Side-to-side making sure that I do the same thing With the same movements on both sides to get a balanced haircut and just see the consistency I'm not bouncing that blade too much. I have my steady blade there working it up the head and Let allowing the other blade to come down and cut the hair So we're gonna comb it back check it So with my men's cuts, I book out a half an hour I like to go through and do these extra details plus we do two rinses We do the hot towel treatment all of that so You know, I think in a barbershop. You're definitely if you're charging less I charge $40 $45 for my men's cuts now so for $45 I want to give him my time and You know give him the couple rinses give him the hot towel all that stuff for extra service added to it And Ryan's one of our members so he comes in every two weeks to get his haircut. So You know, I'm gonna blow it dry now check it make sure it looks good and then we'll rinse him after that but I just want to Go through work on the details give him my time and you know, that's what makes a haircut worth more So now we're gonna detail his beard Like I said, this is not I don't charge him extra for this if he's already paying $45 for his haircut So what I want to do is just go in and add detail to his beard I'm not creating a new look for him on his beard. That's not what this service is This is just me Getting kind of the the random hairs that are growing or whatever just detailing and cleaning it all up We're gonna work his eyebrow So I'm basically working on one half of his face first and then we'll work on the other half Detailing the eyebrow This is something I don't even ask if they want it Because I'm not changing anything about them. I'm just cleaning them up So sometimes if you ask a guy about this, he's gonna say no and the reason he's gonna say no is because he doesn't He if he might feel uncomfortable about it or whatever But if you just go ahead and do it his wife will thank you and he will thank you at the end so Just going through cleaning the the stray hairs that are growing a little bit longer than everything else Just going in taking those off cleaning it up Now we're gonna work the other half of his face The thing I like about these point-of-view haircuts is this is not edited up So it allows you to really just get a glimpse into how I'm working at the salon You know, they're a little bit longer. This is the basically the entire service besides the shampoo I didn't put that in there because you know guys don't need to see that every time but You know just watching everything that I'm doing a little freehand over the mustache Sometimes you don't need to get your comb in there every time those hairs are so coarse They're sticking straight out of the head. So I just go pass over it and create my length by hand that way Working through a little trimmer over comb cleaning up his beard and then his neck hair there I'm just gonna clean that up with the trimmer You know, it'll still give him a little scruff Which he likes but it just cleans it up a little bit more because Personally the neck hair should not be quite as long I don't I like a little scruff in there even for me But when you have a beard, I think it's good to have a little shadow down there But not the same length as as your beard. So we're just gonna clean that up for him Ryan's got a really strong chin line Jawbone chin line. I don't know what that is but jawbone So, you know that kind of it defines that as well adds a little shadow to it Which I think looks pretty good Again freehand those hairs are sticking straight out So I don't necessarily need to have a comb under it. I mean that's what a comb is really doing for it Anyways, so I just use the comb when I need to but just go in a little freehand That's another tip with the tea trimmer tea trimmer allows you to get in there if you have just a regular trimmer It's hard to reach all those spots. All right, clean up his neck and then we should be good to go All right, so now we're gonna grab a brush. We got our vest brush from the shop shop FSE So the thing I like about this brush is that you can get it as hot as you want. It doesn't melt So that's one good thing and the second thing is it's got really Tight tension on the hair. So if you're trying to create a nice polished look, this is a brush for you Whether you're smoothing women's hair or trying to lay down Collicky hair like Ryan has so we're gonna start with a leafing technique in the front to help pop up the front of the hair And then you'll see me using the nozzle of the blow dryer Just laying that pretty much flat against his head allowing the air to flow over his the hair shaft to create maximum amount of shine in his hair and just to keep the hair under control so The blow dryer isn't moving much The brush is doing all the work and the blow dryer is just allowing the air to flow over So we're gonna work that calic back and forth So I'm brushing the hair basically to get it to lay in the at this point How I wanted to lay it for the pompadour hairstyle So we're just gonna brush right at the parting right at the bridal ridge We're gonna brush that straight down Use that airflow to kind of get it to lay there then we're gonna work that calic area a Little bit more leafing. I want volume in this hairstyle That's really you know what this hairstyle is all about is having that pop of volume right in the front and kind of flowing into the back using that tension you can see how tight I'm holding on to that and Just pushing it up and it just pops the front of that hairstyle right up so The key of this is not the product should be the thing that gives it the final detail But really the blow dry should get the hair where you want it to go And then the product is just gonna polish it off and hold it all day But you want to create the style with the brush and blow dryer So now we're gonna grab our cool grease and this is a new product that I'm Carrying on the shop and the thing I like about this is it has it's very water-soluble Probably the most water-soluble product I've ever used which means that it will rinse out easy for guys You won't get that build-up on your scalp But the shine on this product is so awesome and it's perfect for hair like Ryan's or even thicker coarser hair because It doesn't have a major major hold, but it just puts that hair and it gives it a lot of shine and Creates a pompadour hairstyle really well, so we're gonna use it I put a little bit in my hands run it together and then I start in the In the sides and then I work it through the top in the front You don't want to start right in the front because you'll get too much product up there but we're gonna work it down the sides in the back and then Take a little bit extra. I have a little bit more build-up on my hand So I just grab it and I polish the sides up and that's what the product is all about It's just giving it that shine and the hold To create the hairstyle So I'm gonna run it through with my hands That's not gonna give me my final result because it should be a polished clean look to it So we'll get the product saturated throughout then I'm gonna grab a comb and kind of Comb it back and now if you didn't do the blow dryer before this What you would notice is that you put the product in probably in the wet hair And it would just fall flat and I think a lot of people a lot of guys try to put product in their wet hair But most male products are water soluble in some way So as soon as you put it in your wet hair, it kind of goes away You don't even get the full use of the product. So you want to have dry hair what I tell every one of my guys is Even if you don't want to blow dry your hair Make sure that the last thing you do before you walk out of the house is put your styling product in because if you do It right out of the shower. What's gonna happen is you're not going to The water is gonna take over the product and you're gonna have a diluted product so The cool grease goes in the right there really well gives him that nice kind of clean shine to his hair and It gives him a nice pompadour look So the last thing I'm gonna do I'm gonna use the first part of the haircut. I was using my Mizutani type C2 scissors. This is the blacksmith fit 6.5 inch I like that for scissor over comb as well because it's a longer scissor So when I'm going through at the end and just putting on final touches kind of the the finished product This is just me being able to go through and blend the haircut exactly the way that I want it and to Just give it that little extra detail that we've talked about You know, I think this is what he's gonna allow you to charge a little bit more money for your men's cuts and get it is Is the details that you put into it guys like that stuff and You know, this is Ryan is kind of one of those guys that likes coming in getting his hair cleaned up every couple weeks and He likes this type of treatment. So I see a little shadow in there So what I'm gonna do is just go in with that scissor over comb again and just tighten it up a bit more Sometimes when you're going through the first time at the haircut and you cut it It looks good and then you go rinse it out and then you know, you see that little shadow So I like to go in just clean it up add a little bit more detail in there All right guys, so that's another point of view haircut with my good friend Ryan and you can see it It's a great finished product. It's a nice pompadour hairstyle It's got a really clean feel to it and it's all about the detail work So I think if there's anything that you guys focus on from this video The number one thing would be just focus on the details the haircut is what it is This is something that if you saw this haircut in a magazine, you probably know how to do it But I think the attention to detail working around the edges the facial hair of the eyebrows the ears Everything that you saw in this is that's really what this haircut's all about We're gonna snap a few pictures.
