If you haven't delved into the world of men's grooming yet, 1.) You're missing out on a huge, loyal clientele base, and 2.) You needn't be intimidated.
“I used to be a stylist that would only use my shears or a razor on men's haircuts, but now I have upgraded my clippers and have learned some new techniques," says Joi Rooks, owner of Fresche Salon in Atlanta. "This has really elevated what I can offer my male clientele.”
As with any client, a good haircut will begin with a good consultation. In addition, Rooks has three quick tips to get you going with men's cutting.
3 Clipper Tips
- Start with a larger guard. Work down to a smaller one.
- Figure out how high you want an undercut to go first, then cut up to that point with the larger guard.
- Keep the hairline natural. Cut it close with your smallest guard. A natural-looking hairline looks more updated than squaring it off.
