Barbers - what is the serect to cutting faster?


Expert: Cleao lively - 1/17/2008

Question
Whats up Cleao? Hey I been cutting my own hair for a hair now and I just started cutting all my co workers hair because they all like how good my hair comes out, Im planning on going to barber school when i get to my next duty station but right im just cutting bc i love doing it. My cuts be clean and sharp, my fades be on point. but the only thing I'm really having a lot of trouble with is how long it takes me to cut 1 persons head. It takes me about 45 min to an hour and I really want to cut my time down to at least 20 min per cut. Do you have any suggestions for me? If u do I would really be grateful Thanks man

Answer
Hey T well what kind of clippers are you using If you do not have the Oster 76 classics or turbo 111 then  I would suggest getting them those cut fast and will help with your time next is the edge up use the gray Andis t outliners or the regular outliners they get hot after a while and if you are taking to long they will burn I have heard stories of them blowing up in peoples hands so they will help with your time if there getting too hot your taking too long. One last thing if you are talking to your customer or anyone else don't pause cutting to talk talk and cut at the same time! Hope this helps if any more questions feel free to ask
