Monday class (Week 15)

1 haircut today...

Was initially going to be a trim, but ended up being a regular mens tapered haircut. Got rid of a combover (there ya go Cindy!) and made him look excellent!

Mission for the day accomplished :D

Nothing special today...1 haircut. Was feeling under the weather since Robby gave me a cold over the weekend. Oh well, the price we pay for those we love :D

1: Normal tapered mens haircut. Older gentleman with nice white hair. Came out very nice :D Seems I'm on a roll ;)

Tuesday class (Week 13)

2 haircuts today...a horrible rainy day :(

1: Regular tapered haircut, nothing special.

2: Another regular tapered haircut, except had to pay attention not to let a cowlick back near the crown get out of control by cutting it too short. I basically just trimmed that area and let it a little long.

Monday class (Week 13)

1 haircut today:

It was a #2 on the top, #1 on the sides/back and then a #1 opened to blend them together.

Really simple fade.

Friday class (Week 12)

3 haircuts today. Other than that, nothing special to note.

1: Regular tapered haircut, nothing hard.

2: Trim with a #3 on sides and back and a bit longer and spiked on the top. Nothing hard.

3: Regular tapered haircut, but there was a spot of alopecia areata on the back, so we left the hair above it longer to cover the bald spot. There was also a cowlick up near the parietal ridge on the right side, so that area was left a little longer as well.

Thursday class (Week 12)

Just one haircut today...was a slow day.

#1 all over, and went over the sides and back with no guard open because he wanted it a little bit shorter on the sides than on top. Very simple. Came out looking very nice :D

Tuesday class (Week 12)

Was a pretty good day!

Had 2 haircuts:

1st was a pretty simple normal haircut. The gentleman had grey hair, but it was THICK! Trimmed him up nicely, and removed a lot off the back. Case done!

2nd cut was a guy that had his Barber Manager license. He had never been to us before, and told me he had decided to "give us a try." I did the best job I could on him, which, for just wanting a #2 (1/4") all over, was very easy. Trimmed him up, and he said I did a good job. For a Barber of 50+ years, I'll take that as a compliment.

When I got home I cut my grandfather's hair as well. Did a much better job than I did the first time I cut his hair shortly after I started school.

I will cut Robby's hair again soon...but he's difficult since he doesn't want to sit still :P
