QUESTION: Hey Cleo!

I have a question about what to do when someone has a pretty crooked hairline, it kind of slopes down on one side of the forehead.

I wanna straighten it out with my T-Outliner but am scared that you will be able to tell that I shaved it, because I'm scared of stubble growing back quickly.

What's the best way to shape the hairline? Will stubble grow back there quickly?

Thanks,
JC.

ANSWER: Hello JC Some times you have to do what you have to do it probably will take about 5 days to grow back and 7-10 days before it looks too bad if it is ok with them then go ahead and straighten it if not then do your best good luck!

QUESTION: Thanks for the fast reply?
So if they want the shape, then it's cool to just go ahead and edge it up with my T-Outliner...is this a good tool for a clean cut, or should I use a straight razor?

Also, if they want to come back like 4 or 5 days later to clean up the hairline when the stubble starts growing back, is it cool to shave the hairline again that quickly, or should I recommend they wait a couple of weeks for it to grow back a lil more, and tell them to wait to get a re-shape until the next time they get a haircut?

i.e. if I keep shaving the hairline so frequently will it start to look bad, come in darker, more quickly, etc?

Thanks again,
JC.

Answer
I think it would be ok to get a shape up every week or so some people don't believe that but I have customers who come get shape ups every 3 days also the outliner is fine to use but if the customers are used to the razor then that is what you need to stick with being that it is hard to shape up clean with trimmers when they get the razor often and it will only start to look bad if you start pushing the hair line back
