“Has A Guy Ever Cried In The Chair?” - “Fussy” Client Comes From Usa To Uk For Scissor Haircut

Ariel travelled to the Regal Gentleman Studio in London, UK all the way from New York, USA. He came especially to get a haircut from Dan! The consultation with Dan might be one of the best on the channel yet, with Ariel being "very fussy", but having a lot of knowledge about what he wanted and Dan working to give the best haircut for him.

You'Re very fussy - you heard guys crying, mr all right guys welcome back to the legal gentleman youtube channel at the wiggle jumpman studio. Today, we've got ariel on the chair. How are you i'm good good good good morning, you're very welcome thanks for applying um. What we're doing today, what's the plan um, so i was thinking of kind of um a trim, not really so. The last barber cut my front like shorter than my back okay. I don't really like that. I like the front to be longer than the back okay, and i usually ask for it to be uh layered backwards like a medium length, definitely shorter in the back. That is in the front and then just have it flow. This way off, like a three-fourths uh part, okay, no worries, okay, um. It doesn't look like that from the last cut. I don't know, that's that's the barber because i like the front to have more volume and yeah sit to the side, and now it's just being weighed down right, okey, dokey um. Let'S have a little look because i thought it. I thought it was cut to the center because it it was, it looks like it was cut to the center yeah. I wanted it this way yeah, so the barber tried correcting it all right. Okay, that makes sense. Okay, cool no worries so we're in it over. Just like you said three quarters of apartment from the front there yeah look around here, oh just off center, okay, okay, okay, so say three quarters. I was thinking that was more to one side: okay off center yeah! That'S fine! Well, to be honest, if i'm doing a cut like this, i don't tend to cut it into the palm because it falls better when you wait, if you cut it you're more uniform, it falls better for you than cutting it into a part, because what will happen Is if we cut it into this part and for example, say it was just here just for example, if we cut this parting in here, it would automatically be a very heavy weight. So here as it grows out, that wave will hold everything flatter because the weight will be here, it's better if you just style it that way much much easier for you um. So how much length you actually want off? Oh, i should forget throughout the top. For now, let's look at the back and sides how much you thinking? Hmm, i'm just very long in the back here now: yeah um! I don't know what would you reckon two to three or two inches, because it gets way down here, yeah and then here falls flat, so something something where i can maintain the waves going down to the back right, okay and then taking that up a little bit More at the bottom, there yeah, okay yeah. We can do that. I think i think the best thing to see whatever needs to be balanced, to make the front look longer. Really, i think, do you want much off the front, or are you happy with the length of the front, obviously that we can balance it and stuff, but yeah you can balance it. You could think about like half an inch about half an inch yeah, okay, cool. Okay, okay, yeah, that's cool man, it's cool! Let'S have a look at your neckline, okay, yeah, your neckline four nicely. Actually yeah we'll be okay with that. What about around the ears on the sides? These bits here almost want to take off them. Yeah, usually those shorter yeah i'll just have the front line over it, and this just falls in as it gets shorter. Okay, is it normally taken off the ear or on the ear? Still where would it normally sit? Um it's taking like right above the ear, oh and then i usually ask they usually do all scissors. I really haven't gotten a trimmer or haven't trimmed in a while. That'S fine! You just take it to the right above the ear and then it just falls like across the side. Right: okay, cool, cool. Okay, so is this? Is this a haircut you you weren't happy with last time. I wasn't the time before i really liked yeah, okay and then i went back and okay doesn't look like it's much longer. You know really, no, definitely not like it's definitely shorter than the front. It was definitely growing uneven. The front was way, but by the time this fell in this was already like all poofing out across the back. How are you looking? Oh yeah, are you looking after it well you're, looking after your hair, you're shampooing it right and conditioning properly? Okay, i think the texture itself is very brittle and frizzy yeah i mean one explanation would be that if it's poofing out it could be either. It was thinned out wrong because, generally, when you thin out hair, if you're, using the traditional method of using like a thinning, scissor or texturizing scissors, depending on what you call, you basically just cut shorter layers straight all the way through the hair. And what that does. The shorter hair grows outwards and it pushes these bits out, and just i'm thinking just by the ends of the hair being so kind of broken and brittle almost it looks as though that's kind of happened yeah. That could be one of the reasons why it's proofing up a bit more. I i couldn't tell you properly, but i think that might be the way if i go through it later i'll be able to see a bit more but um yeah. Okay, you seem quite precise on what you want i'll i'll. Try my best to get it bang on for you, okay, okay, are you in there? Are you in the industry or? Oh? No, i just no oh wow a lot of self research on here. Okay, yeah cool, i mean look, that's good man, that's good! That is good, okay, cool man. Well, let's get your calmed up and then um we'll get started. You just cut a sec right, just one quick one. I just my only thing: is: i'm not i'm not trying to make it really hard for you and just what you're, what you're asking for is almost contradict them. What i'm trying to understand you know so yeah. You want to take this pin here, but you want the waves to fall into the back, but then you want it to sit just over the ear, but you want the fringe longer than the you know. I mean there's quite a lot of things to see. I can't just kind of do like the little bits i've got to kind of make. It all fall into one. You know, and you want volume at the front. It'S just an awful lot to try and take it on when i don't know whether it's when i don't really know where we're where we're going with it. If you know me so, can we can we start again yeah a little bit and just kind of figure out where we're going, because i don't want to. I don't want it to not be right. I just want to get it right for you. You see, and obviously i know you you know you - you know a lot about you've like saved yourself research, so i want to make sure we get the right cut for you: okay, um, but yeah, okay, let's just let's just go back to a little bit of. Let me suggest something to you yeah all right, because i don't i don't want it. I don't because i just don't think it's making it's not making much sense to me. That'S all all right, it does happen, look you're, not the only one. It does happen because, when um watch these videos also, i take what you say and then i apply to like. I look for videos of my hair type yeah and i listen to what you say. So i want other people if they're listening to it to understand what they want. Also yeah yeah. I mean i mean you, i mean yeah, it's nice, that you want to be informative, but, to be honest, i think the best thing for you to do is just enjoy the haircut and enjoy enjoy being on the film more than having to give advice. But no i mean all i want to do. Is i want to try and give you the off-center part that you want straight away? I want to get the lift up here for you, but i just want to know exactly how much length you want off the back in size because at the moment you've got almost like two different lengths. You'Ve got a shorter length here and then an undercut length sitting over it as well yeah. So do you want this to be more balanced, or do you want this to actually fall together within the haircut? What do you think about more balance when you're just getting rid of this? No, no! No forget about the back for now about the sides. Do you want this to be blended in so there's not such a heavy overhang, or would you prefer it um to be still hanging over on the top? No that's what it is. I don't like having the long length here: okay, okay, okay, okay, and do you want that? So when it comes over the ears, that's how much we would have to take off for that to sit above the ear. Do you see what i mean we have to lose like that? Much! That'S fine. Are you sure you don't mind going that short yeah? I don't mind okay, because i might be as short, i could try and do it a little bit longer than the the first picture. You showed me all right um, but you want this overhang sitting over it or do you want to blend in? No. Is this usually overhanging? I usually like this hanging with a little like curtain in the front, but all of this is just to me an excess that i really don't need. This is excess yeah. I don't care about this right, but you like that little curl at the front, yeah yeah, okay, cool, um, right, okay! So let's, let's just isolate that for a minute, then okay and so we'll take it off the ear, yeah, exactly definitely off the air. I just don't know whether i don't know whether it is going to be off the air, though honestly, i'm telling you what whatever you like, yeah and whatever you think is proper. Okay, also, i know you like to use thinning uh the knee razor, but you don't think i need that right. I just based on whatever haircut needs. To be honest, i never normally get someone. I mean this is a positive thing, you're very fussy, which is a good thing, because i like the fact that you know what you want. But most of the people who come in don't tend to kind of explain, pick out certain bits of the hair and they want this bit like this. It'S good! No, it's good it's good, but i don't want it to be too constricted that i want it to be done someone else's way. If you get what i mean, i want to be able to still put my spin on it, whatever, whatever you think, i'm just telling you i don't like having like this come out like this yeah. So that's why i say shorter because then i just brush it back. Okay now - and i don't care because usually i don't care about the back okay, i usually just care about the front, look having the volume okay like just because this gets wavy here yeah and i like that and then the back. I really don't care right. Okay, all right, then, i think i think we're i know we're up to. I trust you fully. This is fun just be fully after the list of things. We need to do. Okay, yeah, that's good! I love telling borrowers just like our hairstyles. Do what you think. Yeah such a creative mind, yeah yeah, it's easy to do that, but i'll tell you. The only problem is is when someone tells you to do what you think at before. They give you a list of particular things they like, because then that way, you're kind of there you're limited on what i can't really do, what i think them you know, because i'll just give you my feedback on the front: okay, um, i'm sorry! If this is so intense, this is just all right. I don't mean to be um it's hard to create volume when there's no support anywhere else, yeah. Okay. So by taking these bits that you don't really want and then having this to sit in that kind of wave, it's very hard to create the volume for it to sit into something because you need to support the volume okay. So you, you can't really just isolate the front and then blow dry it up, but you can, but it won't last it'll look good for like about an hour, but then it will fall yeah and they always want to try and build that up, even with a Razor you can still try and build that up. So you see these little side bits here, leaving this separate and then taking the back in a little bit. I think the graduation would fit better for you and i think you can still isolate the fringe. Just the volume might be quite a hard thing to achieve it's hard to show the bottom. This is how you usually do it it'll, be like volume here and then like to the side, but it's just too long right now. You know yeah yeah, yeah and like have this over the front, but it would be like yeah yeah yeah. I can see you have that like little little scale in there, you can see that that that okay yeah, oh, i think i know where we're going yeah. It sounds good but yeah, but if you decide like, if you feel that you have to do something, i'm telling you this is so fun, though whatever you want. Okay, what everyone accept as long as we get volume in the phone yeah, you don't take a buzzer straight down the middle. Would i do that to you? Would i ever do? Have you ever seen me do that before exactly yeah yeah exactly well? Now we don't do that mate. Thankfully not we don't do that all right, but if you want to eat glasses off for me and then we'll we'll give it all our wet down for you wow. That was intense. That me, you seem to know what you want. Man, i think twice a year yeah, but i do think that - and i don't mean this to sound horrible, but i do think that you might be slightly giving too much to someone to try and get right. You know, i think you might have to stick to that one person. Does it exactly right every single time, because you, you are quite particular, it's not a bad thing. It'S just finding the right bar, but that's particular for you um. You got ta vibe with them. You know you're gon na get that same vibe as them as well. You know i mean that you can have a laugh with them and all that, otherwise it can. It could work out to be disastrous. You know what i mean so yeah. It was just up until 2020 2021. I started growing it out because before then i'll just have yeah buzz the size short front. What sort of research were you doing on your hair, then? Were you looking at like? Were you reading about face shapes and hair types and stuff yeah? It'S just like the shallow part, um. Okay, also a lot about hair care. Oh wait. Different products, yeah yeah, here types, yeah nice. I i always find that the problem is like this job is so sort of kind of contradictory. Sometimes because, if you read like say a magazine famous magazine and they're talking about um face shapes right, you can go onto a different magazine and the the suggested haircut for that face shape is totally different to the suggested haircut for the other magazine. You know it's very hard to find the writing, but i mean we'd, even we even struggle, sometimes when i try and get things on google people, i'm like just google this for me, you know it might give you an indication, but then there's 10 websites. I'Ll tell you something totally different. You know it's very hard to to know best thing to do. If you want to know your face shape a little little tip if you've got a comb, i'm just going to move them over there. If you've got a comb at home, which i'm sure you probably do the best way to know what your face shape's like put the comb on the side, okay of your cheeks, you want to put your glasses on, so you can see you know pop them on, For me, so you can have a little look and then you can kind of understand where i'm coming from so get yourself a decent sized comb like a long one like this right and what you do. Is you place the comb on the chin just on the cheekbone, just right down the side right and that's the angle, you need to be wearing your hair out. Okay, that's the shape. You should be creating to really enhance your face shape. Okay, that's that what i was saying at the start, when about you picking specific things now i i wouldn't even have had time to go through this with you, because you knew exactly what you is you wanted, which is not a bad thing, but then, when it Comes to suggesting something when someone's so so set on something that they want. It eradicates my suggestions because i'm like well, you already know you want. There'S no point in me adding to anything, whereas if you're a bit more open to certain things that will allow me to say well, actually you know what have you ever thought about? Maybe taping a tiny bit in here and keeping that weight through there that will allow the flow there's little things that we can talk about, then that would really help. So if you look at that and then you're bringing awaken caves quite a lot on the sides, there so say, you've almost you've got a very i'd say slightly. It could be, it could be classed as slightly diamond because the cheekbones are stick out more than here. Yeah, as you can see, the difference in the in the height there, so i think, having length down the bottom or having length not keeping enough length through the corners here would actually change your face shape. It would actually make your face. Look, rounder, oh okay, um! So i think, can i use that and can i take that into account as we're cutting the haircut yeah, so i still try and do exactly what you want, but i'll just take a few things in that i can see that would kind of work based on Your facials, if that's all, right, yeah yeah, very valuable, cool man cool. Let me do that. What we're going to do now is i'm going to work on the horseshoe section for the circles, because i want to again i want to get everything right. I want to make sure that we're working step by step through the backing side, so sectioning everything off - allows me to take me time working through what we want to do. So what i'm going to do on this particular um side here is going to try and take into account the finished look that we're trying to achieve, but i also want to take into account face shape because that's kind of how i work i work on based On faces, uh and again i i don't want to get set the wrong impression, but i will do anything that people want, but it's got to be for me. I can't do something. I don't think it's going to look right at the end. It'S just. I just can't i don't know, i don't know why just can't um and what i want to do is try and incorporate every single thing that we've spoken about, along with the kind of um, maybe working on a bit more of a bit more of a corner Through the top, i think that really helped as well when it comes to balancing the fringe out, because by leaving leaving the fringe a little bit disconnected um, we'll kind of help with that kind of wave that we're trying to achieve 100. And obviously you know how to do it as well, because that photo i've seen was really cool. It looked nice um. I think. Obviously i just want to make sure that that balance is in because i've never done this. This haircut before so i'll make sure that i'm getting my understanding of it first, as well as trying to work on only only cutting the way i know which is following face, shapes and stuff. So as long as we can get that bang on, i think it'll work out quite nicely. It'S really from in the states, i'm from new york, new york, nice one. I love new york. I really do. I was in the hamptons a couple of years ago. Actually yeah in man yeah, it's incredible right guys, so i've just sectioned off the top and opened up the back and sides. So this is going to. Let me see now exactly what the last haircut was done like, but also how to move into this new haircut too. So, let's switch combs. Now we want to take off something that's coming over here. So not as short, was that the hair. Could you show me, it was quite quite sure: wasn't it on the back inside that you had done yet so we'll still keep some length in it. We wanted to flow into the back. So i want to what i'm trying to what i'm trying to do. Is i'm going to create a nice sort of shape sitting into the back to here to make sure the center back and then i'll just try and taper the rest away, but not going. Obviously too short, that is the plan i'm going to be doing, maybe like a sort of two-finger width section. That'S probably the best way to describe it as you can see as well. The temple comes quite far over on here, so we're actually bringing this quite far back, but that's really good because we can strengthen up the hairline here as well. So that'll really really help all right. So i reckon about that much i'll, be fine. I'M sure went down as you can see just bringing my fingers a bit closer into the ear. So what i'll do is just leave a tiny bit more at the top, but then it'll allow us to sit nice and back okay, but then, by doing that, we'll create a nice taper into the bottom and i'm a taper of my of my understanding, though so Not a kind of straight in with the clippers kind of fade or anything like that, more of a just get rid of any of the unwanted unnecessary hair that we don't need for this hairstyle. I can see this is getting much longer as we get to this backpack here, um, which again we don't need all that length. Neither so should i work on this angle and i think, as we've seen before, when you use the comb, it kind of shows you the angle. You should really cut it up to get the best out of the face shape of anybody that you you you're dealing with, not not just on this particular look, but on on any any hairstyle, any any luck you're trying to create. I could point out a couple of um a couple of pictures when you, if you know, if you ever, if you ever come across something just just hit, your comb might sound a bit mad like if you're looking at a photograph, get your comb and place it Alongside the photograph with the face on place, it along the side and you'll be able to see where the the head shapes working for it or not. We'Re doing this angle as well as we get to the back we're going to leave some length through there. That will allow us to let it fall into like that kind of taper at the bottom because, like you said, i think you're you're you're, you you just brush your fingers back through into the into the back letter. Four, don't you that's kind of what you do you don't really. You said you're not too bothered about the um, the back 30 or your other back sets now. So i want to kind of tidy up and i think once we start to remove that length down the bottom, we'll be able to give a really nice finish as well. Does it bring that back? I should sit nice there as well. There'S a guide. Oh there's an awful lot here coming through. I am, i also like hate loading it up with products, because my scalp would be easily agitated yeah yeah. I just think you found a a newfound uh hobby and i think, you've kind of gone into it. You know full-on, which is good. I love it as long as i'm here, yeah yeah, exactly exactly you've done that long, we'll have it for right, so you've got to enjoy it. Is that your partner sitting there? Oh, that's my friend, your friend, okay. What is he like this with us here all the time? Oh wow, okay, okay, i think it's good for men to be able to take care of themselves. I agree like a lot of guys are into skin care, but luckily i don't really have. I think my skin is naturally just good yeah. You look like you've got like a good balance of oil and of oil in your skin. Actually, because it doesn't look, it's not shiny your skin, your your skin itself. You have a nice mullet with a pair of nose scissors, i'm serious! Oh wow. I seen some cracking haircuts when it was in when it was in lockdown people. People attempting to do a to do some fades and stuff. Oh, it was fantastic. It really was harder than i thought i tried doing it. It is, i think, that's the beauty of um of the lockdowns really is that i gave it gave us a bit more of a bit more respect of how hard our job actually is, because i think people did or do well - maybe not now, but they'd used To think our job was easy, he was just like, you know, stand there all day having fun and a really sociable job, but i think the reality is. It does take a lot to to be able to do every haircut that sits in your chair. It'S very very time, consuming it's very hard. It'S very you know you get. You got to know what you're doing it's um years and years and years hard work, but i think they give us a bit more of a bit more respect. I'D say you did pop up my four-year page and tick back. What'S that you popped up in my tic-tac-toe: oh oh yeah, yeah join code, video yeah, but hey 200, 000 plus followers. Now right is that right then? What do i know hey? What do i know? I just i'm just going to set the cotton here, i'm just going to just try and do anything else. The airlines, yeah yeah. That'S fine! That wasn't my no! That wasn't why i thought you looked 26. I mean you said to strengthen the hairline. That'S here! No! It'S just because of how far forward it comes and how weak it is, there's and like if you, if you go down to a one you wouldn't tell if i was to use a trimmer, you could just center it up and it would look completely like completely Fine, it's just because of how far forward it comes compared to here it will get weaker because it's almost it is it's joining up here. So it's just a continuation, which is that's why it's weak! That'S all! It is nothing major! Don'T worry about that! Yeah! I'M into haircare mustang, i think that's what got me into the whole hair care game. Yeah, yeah, yeah! Well, you just! I don't think you know how long you're going to have your hair for so you must look after it right. You know yeah! It'S like! Have you got given a time say: you're gon na have your hair until you're 43. You probably would do do some crazy things on you or you know if you knew how long you're gon na have with it, whereas because we just don't know you just take it easy, don't you a lot of people, just don't really think about it. So i'm just cutting this freehand around the ear, i'm just doing a nice natural taper into the side bends as well, that sits just nice on top of the ear and then we'll take it back down to the neckline just nice and tidy we'll do it on The bottom so i'll just do a nice little tape down the bottom, nothing major, nothing too aggressive or anything like just smaller finish that allows that when you pull this through all that flows into the back and then what we can do with that is, we can Allow that wave just to sit into the back as well so try to take into account the wave pushing the hair back. So that's all sits in nice and tight and then the taper sits into the bottom as well. She'S, just working through my fingers just to cut the shape in, as you can see, i'm working around the ear that will match up to where we tape it there down make sure. Oh so uh i'll just tighten up the neckline shoot with that neck here to grow it out like, if you just was it being difficult kind of getting used to hair growing out longer or you've, just been kind of going with it and seeing what you can Achieve with the hair being a bit longer things about hair, i'm curious to test it out, yeah yeah, so yeah cause. I learned new things that i couldn't do before yeah yeah, i yeah it's. It really is, and it gets to a point where you just you just stuck right: you can't do much with it yeah being a college student yeah and then, every day after you go to class, it gets busy yeah, of course, yeah. The last thing you want to do is worry about your hair right. It'S the last thing you want when you're trying to study so what's been the sort of um. What'S been the biggest revelation about your hair, that you thought you'd. Never ever you thought you'd. Never ever know or uh, oh, when i started growing it out, it was like down to my chin, oh wow yeah, and it got too poorly, where i literally brushed it out. I was just like just have it slow and sit back yes and then, but before that i thought my hair was straight, but then, when i grew it out, i figured it was curly, which was crazy yeah. It'S amazing, when you don't realize you've got curly, hair right yeah, you know what you are. You are not the only one you know, there's so many guys out there who have grown their hair. Some people just don't genuinely know they work early. Here. You know what your videos are drawers out loud either, the like the two for one hairstyles like you could style it two different ways: yeah yeah, so whether curtains or the side, yeah or just like, i feel like now, so many people are trying to like copy The celebrity cuts yeah so whether it's like something, oh yeah, that's something! You know it's going to be a big one, um! Thank you. Just there yeah yeah, that's so popular in the states. Is it really yeah? But when you see like, for example, tom holland, on a red carpet or whatever i'll sit and do an interview, well i i do. I work with a few actors and you get like a you. Do a thing called the press junkers and what that is. You get you know, the actor goes there and speaks to. You know 30 40 journalists. He gets about two three minutes with them and then move on to another one and um. I get a 45 minute win, though, to style us here, 45 minutes. It is so when you're trying to replicate that in 30 seconds in the morning, it's very hard to do right and i think that's why it's like. I always feel like i'm, the bearer of bad news. I was playing the guy goes. Oh sorry, mate! You can't do that. You know, because i i've been on the on that side of it, where i know how long it's taken somebody to do that or potentially taking somebody to do that and i'm like well, you do realize that that is how it's done and you probably won't be Able to do that in the mornings. I hate to be like that, but the reality is it's probably not gon na be doable the next day. I don't want to ever change that person who they are one and seen down through here haircut. I couldn't start the next day. You know, because that's unfortunately, the common uh mistake that that tends to happen where people go somewhere and they can't um. They can't replicate it. The next day, like my dream, hair is the kid was like the bruce wayne. You know, like i mean you, could do the bruce wayne one if you wanted to that kind of is you could do that easily, especially now? Well, maybe maybe not now at the back in size, but you probably could you know because this is much longer with the back, but i know i know his hair's a lot straighter than yours, but if you're used to you know i mean that's what he's on It unfortunately but um it could be doable, though it could be doable a lot of people like that. I'Ve integrated it's just a timeless haircut. It really is yeah. I i do really like your throw in some like gel or paste. Looking back for professional, look or wake up in the morning, yeah absolutely like, i think, right now. I love the messy look yeah like the kind of yeah you call it lift in here right yeah, when your hair was a little longer, your face would spike yeah. It'S just a little bit yeah it's a bit. Mine is mine's much shorter than normal and, and i put what i don't want today - would put gel on it and then brush the gel out and that's all the pomade i put pomade on and then brushed the pomade out and that's what creates that kind of Straightness then i applied some clay afterwards yeah but um yeah. I just get to that point where i just you know i just i go through phases make but yeah i mean that messy the messy shots of hairstyle was kind of what i started off my career in, like that was what was popular when i was starting Off you know coming back, oh i'm glad, i'm glad i really enjoyed doing that. It'S a good! It'S a good haircut! Well, it's a good style. Should i say you know it comes in different shapes and sizes, but i'll be honest with you as well. Like you know the the sort of like what you're, what you're going for the look you you want to achieve as well, we call that lived in so it looks as though you haven't done much to it, but you have done a lot to it. You know what i mean like it's, it's called lived in so well, that's what we call it anyway could be called any could be called. Oh, in fact, no i saw the light. It'S not do you want another buzzword for it. Bro flow bro, oh yeah. Well, that should be called the us and you see bro yeah. No, you know the sport lacrosse right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Let me yeah see, that's that's the buzzword that i've seen flying around lately is bro flow. Yeah. Is that just because the hair flows back i'm guessing that's what it means? Yeah yeah yeah, like american pie, was out when i was like in my teens. You know, and that was like that was like the ultimate sort of uh. You know kind of kid me like it wasn't a kid movie. Was it, but we loved it as a me and my mates used to watch that all the time so i'm doing now is i'm working from horizontal sections. Now i'm bringing the top down to the top of the ear. So that's where my guide is gon na, be if you have a little look when i pull that through my guide is what comes through at the top of the ear, because i just picking up from part of the consultation was that bringing it down to the Ear and then bringing it back was something i wanted to work on. So i've just got that same in mind because, as you bring that back as you as you run, your fingers through here you're going to see that movement sit right back on the way. We'Re doing it now so, hopefully that'll be exactly with the wave that you're looking for all right, but you're still working within the the head shape as well. All right, i'm just bringing everything down and i'm getting a bit longer as we get to the front as you can bring my fingers down, there's not much time coming off the front. You see that, but we can. We should probably half an inch. We said off the front right, so do about that, as you can see, it's on a slightly different angle that just allows me to get a graduation into the hair but also creates. I can like that. That'S like long longer longer finish, so what i want to try and achieve for the for the actual um end result. So we can get some volume in that fringe and also have the flow and the wave coming back as we get to here towards the crown because yeah it was quite flat. There wasn't it, so it was quite long at the bottom go. I can emphasize that in a minute as well. Have you got yourself a diffuser? Oh, i know you love that diffuser yeah. I love it. Man, it's amazing um. No, i don't. Maybe i should invest in one. I i think you should yeah. I do you defuse up right. I diffused i'd defuse millions of ways me. I can do anything i can we can. You can diffuse any way you like me um. No, i i i it depends on what we're doing, but i'm just thinking for yours. You know, because you, you lay dry, naturally yeah. It'S the only way you can kind of recreate towel dried wave that you've got by setting it into. You know a bit of heat, because the good thing is i'll. Show you in a second always talk about heat, because this is quite an interesting conversation about heat, because i i have. I have a lot of people who are for it against it. Not too sure you know, but i just want to show you the difference in a diffuser to when you haven't got a diffuser on your on your hairdryer. Just so, you can feel the difference in the power and how much heat is actually in the in the one place at one time. Okay, because then you'll understand that it doesn't, it doesn't actually give off that much heat really as in like in in one particular area, so you can get away with kind of keeping it over the area for a little bit longer than you would do. If i had just the nozzle on you know, and then it wouldn't burn the hair, so i know um yeah as long as like people will knock diffusers but heat protectant and like drying it to like 75 of the way yeah yeah then you're all good. Definitely, that's. That'S all that's what i generally do with diffusers, though you know i don't always dry the hair completely dry with the diffuser. I just take that very edge off. You know um the wet edge off um because it can be a little bit too wet. Sometimes you know if, like you know, if you usually like walk out straight into the street kind of thing, so it depends. What final look you want because i um i don't know i've never tried diffuser to get the wavelet, but usually, if you take like a brush and just regular blow dry and blow it this way, you'll get that swoop. Do you don't use heat, though? Do you don't use a hair dryer? Do you oh, like um, like not not when it's long like when it's short, i went short? Oh okay. Well, i was only going to use a diffuser because you don't like using the hairdryer, but i would i wouldn't - and i was just trying to show you something that you know if you because you're saying before you don't you don't tend to use heat yeah and Then obviously you can there's another way of doing it as well. Um, oh okay, yeah! I remember if you don't know how it works. Maybe i should get that, do you know what it's worth having it in your in in your you know, your your toolbox and your arsenal yeah 100 mate. Without a doubt, it really does help because you never know if you you know, if there might be a look when you're a bit. You know it gets a bit longer, for example, say say: for example, you want to grow your hair out and you're loving. The look, but you can't seem to get it dry quickly or do you want to so you want to just emphasize what you've got a diffuser can help you do that. You know with minimal efforts again it's not about you know. You can obviously spend time when you're here there's nothing wrong with that, and i do spend time on me on clients here most of the time. But when we're doing videos like this, it's all about being realistic and showing you like the easiest way of doing something. You know it's then day, it's an educational sort of reason why we do it tutorials right, so we want to try and show people how to do something. Easy, and simply you know what i mean the only thing i realized, though it was really long hair. My hair was never like man, we're not signing it, but i'll. Never like sit back like, like you know like nicely like, like the bruce wayne or whoever's longer hair. Just like have it sit back, it won't stay back. Okay is the way my hair lies. I don't know, but you is that is that, with or without brother to be talking about without without no well, neither does bruce wayne's. You know i mean like it is like that, though you know it's like his he's. Not many people do we'll stay back with our product, then it's that the style is cut for product, because it's like think about like frank sinatra, you think about you know or like the rat pack right. They all had product in their hair. That'S that's kind of how it was yeah, yeah, exactly presley, yeah, presley's hair. Wasn'T that sure, like that wasn't full of um, you know some sort of whatever it was called greaser or whatever it was called. You know. So i'm sorry was. That thing was that the razor lost. I never felt that it felt interesting. It'S interesting if it's like um, it's almost like a drag ball without any pain. Like my hair, look, thinner or just like it gets real, it's so um. It will thin the hair out to an extent, but it won't. It won't thin out to the point where, like it will grow out like it was before you know what it'll do is it'll, as you slide through you, take thickness out of the hair but you're forced in the direction, because the hair is being cut at a Different angle, so with the the angle of the razor being cut like this it'll be short, hair, shorter shoulder and it gets longer and longer longer, so it's not like a instantly short line of hair. It graduates up, so it's like tapering almost so it's not damaged. No, no, it's a single blade. It'S the same as a scissors, just a single blade, yeah yeah! No, not at all, not at all right! I'M going to apply i'm going to try to apply a little bit of this back to california, okay, yeah. It'S a grooming, cream, sheer butter, i'm going to use this because it's got a lot of good things in it as well all right so about that much okay about a peanut size. Okay, that's what i always say: yeah as you can see, even just by the cut i've done nothing to it, but it's fall and hopefully in the way, you're thinking what we do work it back. It'S falling your your natural part right just right there off center. Again, i haven't, i haven't kind of cut it into that. It'S just fallen. The way that should be you've got that nice little bit of height and the way it flicks out right, i'm just going to apply the rest of it into the hair like so i'm not going to use i'm going to use a vent brush, i'm not going To use a round brush, i don't want to create too much of that kind of um. I don't. I don't want to create it to make it too big at the front. I want to flow a bit smoother all right, so we'll dry this off from the back. First, let's get that just a nice bit of volume in it and then i'm going to drive the sides in as well i'll leave the front i'm going to bring this around by using the vent brush. It allows me to manipulate the flow of the way the hair wants to go as well, so you can keep a little bit of that wave in there and then you'll see what we've created at the back here. Hopefully, you'll love the head shape at the back. It will pretty cool. Well again, you know when you saw my heat, you don't need to worry too much about the heat now, because we've got a product on your hair. That'S a cream right, so we've got up. You'Ve got some sort of protection throughout the whole hair, and that's what i mean: that's why, when you're rubbing the product in you need to make sure you apply it all over, not just on particular areas, because then that way there are bits that aren't covered. So even this volume works right now. What'S that even this looks like it looks cool though yeah man that was cool, that's what i mean. That'S why i was saying to you at the starlight connect uniform allows you to do that. You know you're not limited to how you want to look right, so just try that through that now i'm going to finger dry it now just to get it into place. Foreign right! So that's blow dried and now, just to finish, i'm going to put a little bit of use a little bit of label m. Actually, my paste! This is really nice. Okay, this is this stuff. I i really do like this. I don't know if it's going to be your particular favorite product, but i want to show you a different kind of look. Okay now it says it's matte. It is matte to an extent, but there is also a slight natural shine to it as well. So i think it's matter than what the other one is, but um. What i like about it right is that a good way to check a product out as well is if the product is got a little bit of shine on your hands. You can have a little bit of shine on your hair okay, so this is quite matte, but it's got a bit of a healthier shine to it now. The reason why i'm using this one is because you know what your hair can be drying. Of course, a product like this is quite softening to the hair, so it just gives a bit more of a softer finish to a little bit more of a flood all right now, making it through my hands all the way through. You see there's a slight gloss on it as the light hits it yeah. That'S what's gon na look like in your hair. Let me just work it through. We don't need a lot because again, we've already, you know: we've put some product in already, so i'm just going to kind of accentuate what we've just cut it like so cut it to the ear. So it falls back and you get that nice flow into the back, i'm going to wake it through the top, get that volume in there. So hopefully that is kind of what you do. I'M hoping it is. I won't forgive myself if it's not you've made the trip all the way from the states just to have a haircut from me and i've ruined it fear. May i do oh apology, i know there we go, who thought me who thought right have a look at this? Okay, okay, tell me what you think one! Second, let me just let me hands a second there we go. So let me just show you this wow. Is that what you wanted? Yes, fantastic, wow, so glad you're, not just saying that either no well! Of course, i have to slap it myself, but of course, of course, no no! No, this like exactly because i'll always let it sit like this in the front cool man, but just that does that fall back well for you! No! No! This is exactly this exactly like they wanted on the side. Okay, perfect, i gathered that's what it was. I was trying to, i was hoping you get it right. Let me just do your neck and i want to show you the back as well, but i'm going to give you the mirror to have a look okay, because it's probably much easier for you to get the gist of where i'm coming from. If you see it yourself, okay, um, i want you to kind of just have a little play with the back as well, so you can kind of see how the back falls in. I think it falls nicely. Personally, i really like it. Oh no. I think this is exactly like how i imagined it also just so different for me to see myself like this for so long. I know i was just coming out here: yeah yeah, you don't realize how long it is. Do you sometimes when you get your hair cut, you think bloody hell. That was quite long actually, because i thought, when you came, i thought you really shooted longer hair like i wasn't. I wasn't overly so i thought you're going to say i'm going to keep it long. I was like great, you know, i didn't really know what we were going to do anyway. I thought you suited both, so it was quite nice. I think if you do ever grow it again, you do it my personal opinion so really wow hold on for me a sec stay where you are now i'm going to spin you around. So you can see so look in that mirror in front look behind you. So what you've got is that nice taper through the bottom, so it's very natural but you've got that kind of wave sitting into a taper down the bottom happier words. Oh thanks man, i'm glad we've got it right yeah! I love it. A lot really good. So much you're welcome mate you're, so welcome man lovely to meet you as well. Thank you very much mate glad you like it. It'S always nice. When you get there in the end mate there we go see. That was my. That was my little spin on it. Okay, hopefully, what you wanted, but no as in like that was my spin in terms of like my take, should i say on what you told me: i really like it a lot cool man. Oh thank you. Thank you man. Thank you. The road guys crying this chair, no you'll, be the first of you only cry if they've not liked it, but thankfully i've never had one of them either. So that's quite good. You

Alan Fleming: This is what sets Dan so far apart from others in his profession - he actually listens to what the client wants and responds with good advice as to how achievable or suitable the style may be. Of course being so skillful with scissors and a razor helps too!

Jeff B.: Legend has it the client is still explaining how he wants his hair.....

Mark: Nearly 20mins until the first snip! As ever a great cut and it looked great! I think the overall experience for Dan was like when a dad brings in 3 young boys for a haircut; extra, extra effort!

Romeo Impraseuth: I live in the US. If I had Dan cutting my hair I’d let him work his magic and do whatever he wanted lol. This guy is blessed to be in the hands of a professional

Mikey: Lol this is the first time I’ve ever seen Dan annoyed rightfully so. Wow…patience was more than a virtue on this cut. Well done.

francysssco: Im a barber myself and mannn Dan you handled this like a LEGEND!

willbe939: OMG…I had to force myself to watch the consultation as the client was way too fussy for me! Having watched Dan numerous times and I think this guy has as well, just go with him! Sometimes the less said is better! I respect the amount of patience Dan showed and this video only adds to his greatness!

Paperboy: Dan is a Saint! Jesus, imagine when this guy goes shopping for clothes. The haircut looks great. Let’s hope he can live with it for awhile.

Patricia Powell: Wow. Dan you are so gifted on helping get the right hair cut. This was overwhelming to me. Sometimes the customer does not explain what they want very well. In this case. Great job.

Francis Corro: I stuck through it and, although it was intense at first, it mellowed out in the end. All's well that ends well. Congratulations, Dan!

Hallie Baca: Dan is an absolute magician! His professionalism and ability to work with any client shows his level of skill and amount of time he’s put into his craft. Love watching your videos Dan!

Tia Pickeral: He basically wanted a 90's Disney Channel guy haircut. Bless you for tolerating the "fussiness" of one of my countrymen.....I hope future visitors from the U.S. are a bit more mellow.

TraumaER: Rules of Getting Haircut: (1) Bring picture of how you want hair cut (2) Tell barber to make it look good _Why? Because you can never see no matter how many mirrors and angles you get, how the world ACTUALLY sees your haircut. That is what people don't understand._

Francis Corro: I must admit I feel nervous for you while watching this video, Dan. I'm still midway through it. But I have confidence in your ability.

Mathias Vibeto: I'm hoping one day i can get to sit in the Regal Gentleman chair and experience this myself. I've always held on to my long hair, however i'd be willing to let get of it seeing how knowledgeable Dan really is and how much he cares about the end result and the fact you leave happy with your new haircut.

Jessie 986: I wish I could be the next person to fly in from the states to get a cut from Dan! Although I don’t think I’d be as fussy knowing how good Dan is at his job great work as always!!

Andriy Mereng: Holy God! Dan, my applause to such a master. Very difficult client + difficult haircut, which is even difficult for understanding. High class, absolutely fantastic job.

Jack Andrew: Get so many customers like this that want contradicting things and just say stuff the have herd online and sounds ‘cool’ I learnt very quickly that the customer isn’t always right! I always say to my customers pictures are the best starting point as we both start with the same image and then can talk from there about what is actually possible with their hair and managing their expectations.

• Jon_thebarber_ •: The amount he's spent explaining is hair is a full appointment in most shops. I'd give him 4 back and sides and send him back to America

SkiddyOcean: To all the people saying that this client is too fussy. Tbf he is paying $100 for a haircut so it should be exactly the way you want it to be.

Tyfo Maniac: he sounds like 80% of my clients i have lmao, glad you killed it yet again! you guided him through it quite well.

Jake Silvermoon EU: He acts exactly how you would think someone with that haircut would.

Randoindabando: Fussy but respectful tbf, one of the best videos i've seen on this channel

Paul Cuts: What a consultation. Not easy at all but the end was spot on Dan. Too job as always

blink!: This was awesome to watch and learn as someone in the industry in regards to customer service. Is there more content about that/similar to it in the regal gentleman’s online courses?

Beltran Hair: Beautiful haircut, and yes, sometimes patience is really required. Another beautiful end result, love your work!

GENESIS: murdered the consultation! as someone who had their consultation down pat on one stage and have since moved around the world, I'm really struggling to adapt my dialogue. killed it G.

MVSA Salman: What a tool! I wonder what the local barbers go through. Props to the barber for handling it like a pro

Snoopy Woodstock: As always, Dan does a great job. However, if you coming in from the U.S. so Dan can cut your hair, let him doing his magic! You could have saved your coins and stay in the U.S. to get what one commenter described as that 90’s Disney charmed look.

Mason McCune: Dan definitely had more patience than I would have. Seeing one of my fellow country men being that fussy over their hair was embarrassing to watch. Women aren't even that fussy. Bless you for tolerating him.

elevatedbarbercollective: Love your patience with this guy .

Hope Liston: I think he’s good at explaining what he wants and doesn’t want but also is contradicting himself. If you did exactly what he said, he wouldn’t have liked what you did. I’m glad you were showing him and going through each section asking what he wanted and if it would be cohesive or even possible with his other preferences. I had a picky mom come in with her adult son and I started with a low fade, then to a medium, and then to a high fade. It was really time consuming and took a lot of patience but she loved her son’s hair at the end. I didn’t really appreciate her comment about how my medium fade dipped in the back looked “weird” but her son said “you are a genius for doing that, it compliments the head shape so well!” He said he never had a haircut like that before. They left happy but I am thankful that not every client is like that. I love a good challenge every once in awhile but sometimes there’s that client that will not like anything that you do and I truly believe it’s a confidence issue or something deeper going on that has nothing to do with us.

Kenneth Rodríguez 🇵🇦: What a challenge, what a success. Dan is beyond art.

Mark Gonzalez: The stuff we have to deal with in this industry would drive so many insane

Jerome Trickster Harte: Jesus, the skill of this man is unmatched, remarkable skill required especially under the circumstances. Encouraging me to get a cut just to enjoy the 45 min experience (also started barbering). Wow

Nate K: Could've just said "give me Harry Potter ... with bangs" and saved us all 14 hours of dialogue

Minty: as a barber this type of client makes me anxious af

Choon Room: I understand the guy, I've been disappointed too many times when not explaining what I want properly.

R S: One of the best barbers out there....with a good knowledge of hair types.

БИЗОН САНТОС: Can you, please, tell us more about hair products for different hair types. Thanks. Love your works.

hairiz zamzam: You do have the patience and tolerance to understand thoroughly what he wanted! If I am the barber I I'll pass him the scissors and asked him to cut himself! LOL!!

dean moriarty: really like the detail in the chapters of the video! super helpful and great for viewers

Portland: Does anyone know how far ahead or in advance you can schedule a cut from him? I’ve checked on his site about scheduling but doesn’t say anything about how far in advance you can do it. I’m going to be in London in December and would love to get a cut from him but idk if that’s way too far ahead to schedule anything lol

Mehraj Ahmed: Dan a lot of patience here and professionalism here…he was particularly difficult all the way through I think his reaction to the end result was a save…great haircut by the end

Jesper Tan: I chuckled after you mentioned - you trust me fully after giving a list of things.

IbanezDanny: Genuinely so tempted to travel to London to get my haircut by Dan..

Anteater23: Now he’s gotta fly back every 4 weeks

Julia Jaboori: Just curious how much time do you book for each cut when filming? Love your vids and love this cut!! Looks so much more expensiveeee

Plant: Master class in class, from Dan. Wow.

Cahir Doyle: This is acc one of my favourite haircuts youv done despite the long road there

Emma s: Hairdresser/barber .. I've dealt and deal with a few fussy clients but I usually find when they're like this they dont know what they want. They watch you tube , tik tok and try and tell me how to do it. I give patient professional advice but once or twice it has ran thin. My hair cuts are tad cheaper than 100 so if it's to much emotional and stress cost on my expense I would have to try my best then suggest they go elsewhere.

Elias Chrysanthous: After 10 seconds I’d of undone the cape, spun the chair so that the client was facing the door, pointed my finger at the door and said “go”

Jose Reyna: As an American myself, I want to apologize for your client's fussy behavior.

Foxy: dan gregory: making dreams come true.

K.mersch: Man this client annoys me. If this was me I wouldn't have cut his hair

S.E: I understand Ariel's predicament. You want certain haircut, this way but struggle with barbers

GSTONE: this is why Dan is God tier when it comes to this

Nilqy: mommy gave everything this kid wanted when he was a wee lad

Jake LAMOTTA: The whole video had my anxiety through the roof except the end result. Please throw him out next time

Gary Gostnell: Good god almighty this dude was picky. Dan was exceptionally patient with him.

Scott: Barbering aside ( as nothing I could say would mean anything - we all know Dan is fantastic at what he does ) but dan seems a proper friendly bloke who could and does make anyone feel comfortable . You could excuse Dan to have an air of arrogance with his quality of work and YouTube videos but he doesn’t come across that way at all. I feel sorry for the blokes who travel for one off hair cut and maybe not experience again .

James Turnbull: Christ I thought I was fussy.. Surely he went to Dan for a reason.. Therfore trust his judgement..

valarya: You're the MVP, Dan. Always!

Toby Clarke: How do you combat this type of client ? You take a horseshoe section!

Sam: This dudes going to show this to every barber he visits going forward

BarberDrummer Chick: More than him being picky was him not knowing at all how to explain what he wanted. So he just continually contradicted himself. Really confusing, but he was pretty clueless. Dan did an amazing job breaking it all down and making him start over.

Patricia Powell: Really like that your patient with fussy people.

Michael Nicola: Shaking my head. You’re very patient.

Lehde Dici: A lot of men don't know how they want their hair cut so they just keep getting it cut how it's been since they were 5. This is probably new for him.

Tiffany Miller: He claims to do all this research on hair but couldn't research a few terms barbers/hairdressers use when cutting hair (graduation, taper, disconnected, blended, balanced, etc.) It would have made his fussiness a bit more tolerable if he knew how to communicate.

Patricia Powell: The more hair you take off the better its looking.Great Job.

Blayne: 90s yuppy haircut. Glad you guys got there in the end.

Justin Murphy: Own a shop in north east NJ. I get at least 3 of these a day. I literally tell them you’ve talked for 20 min and told me nothing helpful! My favorite part is when you finally give up and ask for a picture…a short Google search later I’m looking at exactly what I suggested and looks NOTHING like their description! Between social media and 2 years of isolation communication skills are a thing of the past for anyone 25 and younger. “What are we doing for you today?”…”So, LIKE keep it long but I LIKE want it much shorter”…

[ 2207R ] bmo: felt like slapping this guy through my screen lol

•Copel•: Wow so much hate for the US. Really, this is enlightening to how much small-minded thinking there is in this world. Being picky about a haircut doesn’t have a thing to do with his culture and being American.

forever: that face shape tip was amazing, nice one Dan

Francis Corro: It's my first time to have a nosebleed watching YouTube.

The Valet Barber: This is amazing content!

Saul Green: Great video! What styling cream did you use?

CA Groat: This guys a legend

Akhillees: Hello, I've been using an electric clipper for my whole head since summer 2021. I noticed my hair went from straight to wavy and also been losing a lot more hair in the shower. Is that because of the clipper or just coincidence?

Mr. S.: At least he knew what we wanted, to the T. Can’t blame him for that :)

Jagadeesh MS: A beautiful man and a best suited,liked ,done by this great Hair dresser at ever step he explains does the hair cut congrats to both of you sir's

Abdullah Ansari: I love how he just dragged the American in the description

Mobbytea TowN: Love this channel so much

Nathan Lucero: I woulda been upset if this guy said he didn’t like it

Magfadez: That intro KILLED ME ☠️☠️☠️☠️

Michael: I have never seen him so confused in one of these videos.

Patricia Powell: Great job.

ADC20032996: You led me on. The next one must cry!

Haris Khan: I think i need to visit him too now. As i am fussy about my hair too and because of that my Hair are now of shoulder length . Btw where is his studio if any one knows please let me know.

Isac Valencia: Does adding texture on the top of your hair while growing out your hair will it ruined your growth process?

Sahil Inamdar: i understood easily what he wants i guess coz of the similarities he has with one of my friends hairstyle but props to you man nailed it!
