How'S it goin it's Ricardo, barber, I'm going to show you in this video how to do a regular haircut. My client here has scissors on top and he has a number three on the sides. So starting off, I'm gon na be using my three guard to go all the way around the head and put my guideline in there just going up and scooping out just to not make any hard lines, basically trying to clean up around his head to get all The hair around his neck and then the sides cleaning up as good as possible, so I just continue that all the way around the head, where I want the actual fade to be at in his case, it's somewhere around like a mid, fade typical area. So here I pretty much got all around his head, so I'm going to do. Is I'm going to go straight to this as a work, all right? Typically, what the clients hair before I use scissors right now, he's probably getting around two fingers worth so somewhere around. Like 1/8, so I'm gon na go through his whole hair cut it all the same length and I cross cross cut it just clean it up to go a to double-check. How good you? You know you cut your hair in the first place, get all the high spots. So now I got a number four guard on here. I have it open, so it's a four and a half and I'm just scooping up and out and trying to get all the extra weight from the side of his head cut it right off. So I'm also closing this blade. So this way it goes straight to a four all right. Now I put a three on there and I want it to be a three and a half, so I keep it open. I blend into the four that I just had and mind you. He does have a three in a size, so I'm just going to work with this until this three is closed, so I'll probably do three open three Midway and then three clothes just to knock out that you know. If there's any line, I'm going to basically continue and do the same thing on his other side, so here I'm using a four and a half combing the hair as a as I'm cutting it. This way, I know I cut against the grain. I could see the fate as it's coming in so worked yourself. You know to the back of the head as you're closing the blade going from four and a half back to a four. So when you're done with that, you're, basically gon na do the same thing with your three guard, alright, which I'm doing here, I got a three got on there. It'S open not going to hair down a bit closing it as I'm fading down and I fade down. Some people fade upwards. It depends on your style I like to fade down because it's easier to not raise a blend. You know, if you make a mistake when you're fading upwards, it could cost you, so I try to just do it the safe way, or at least what way it works better with me. So here I am on the back of the head. Doing the same thing for open for clothes, put the three back on there: have it open blend it down? Now you can cut this hair. You can blend it into the top a number of ways. This way, I'm just showing you because it's probably the most typical way put it between your fingers. The way I like to do it is with the comb I like to just blend it up. Let the scissors do the work. You know blend it in slowly as I'm moving the comb. It'S looks the way that works good with me. You know, there's plenty different ways to do it, just the way that I prefer. So, as you can see, it's all coming together, it's all blended in pretty well same thing. On the other side, it's gon na be the same thing in the back. No different you're going to get all around the head and just be careful, make sure you put the your actual comb tilted outwards to this way. You'Re not cutting too much hair off the tilt now helps you get just the ends that happen to be too long. Let you shorten them up pretty good. So, as you can see the blends coming together, even though it's all along here, keep combing it down. Just to get all the old any hair you cut, get it out the way make sure it's not. You know screwing you up, I like to comb my hair or brush the hair, as i'm doing fade the whole time. Okay, so from here on we're going to shape up in the back, my client likes a straight line. He doesn't like you know he doesn't like the super-crispy look. He likes to just have his lines done up nice finished, so you know just make sure you go straight across the back. It'S good to get. You know if you put your head down to where their neck is, and you look you'll be able to see a better a better. You know view of what you're doing so make sure that line straight from there. Then you can go up around the ear. Basically, just a box, you know squaring it in a lot of cases. You know you don't want to hold that trimmer blade on the neck too much, because you can't hurt the client. I don't care how good you got that thing: zero gapped! If you're, if you're around tender areas, it's going to hurt, if you're there too long, it's going to get red, it's going to happen, you know there's no way to really change that unless you flip the blade around and use the back of the blade. So here I'm just cleaning around the ears. You want to make sure you get get they're good. I try to brush the hair out, so this way expose everything that I need to cut and then again make your cut all right. Sometimes you got to move the air when I'm left-handed, so when I need to do the person's left side, I use my my pointer it'll, probably take a little bit of practice to learn like that, but you could use your pinky on your right hand too. If that's the case for you right handed, it's just backwards, so just make sure the air is nice and clean he's keeping his beard. So you know, while I'm there. I might as well just finish up that line, which is what you see me doing here, I'll just continue it down where he wants. It now flows, nice and smooth. So basically, I'm moving back on to the other side. So same same way. The other side was just block that thing up come around the air try to make as little contact as possible with your trimmers whenever you're around someone's neck. You know not that you're always going to hurt them, because your blade should be set fine, but you know it's a good habit to to get into it because sooner or later you know you're going to get somebody with some real stuff to the skin and yeah They'Re gon na be real red and burning so background. The air keep a nice and clean doing the same technique as I, as I did on the other side, no different in this case I'm pulling his ear down. With my other hand, there's no way. I could do it with one hand on this side, brushing the hair to expose all all the pieces that I need to cut continuing it down all right, Harry I'm going against the grain. Just this, you know less contact on his skin, so here I make sure. Don'T forget: whenever you're cutting certain parts on a client's face or anywhere in the haircut you got to remember the client can move, you shouldn't be ducking down or straining yourself to get to a certain part. A client can always move. All you got to do is position them where you need them. So in this case you know I put the seat up higher. I make sure he's sitting back in the chair all the way and then I have him tilt his head. This way I can get where I need to get, and he gets a better haircut. I don't have to worry about trying to uh. You know having a problem trying to get where I need to get so here I am using the back of the blade again. This way, there's less contact with the movement part of the blade you don't get irritated and hurt from it. So continue the same thing on the other side, when you're you get them as even as you can and the way I like to do, it is when I'm done I'll, look at them straight on I'll. Have them lift his head up and I'll say you know. Basically, stay like that I'll see where I need to adjust I'll cut. Both sides connect it to the middle and make sure it's a perfect straight line going across, and that's big. You want to do that before you do any kind of shape, and above so this way you know everything's symmetrical and it's the same on both sides. You want to just be screwing stuff up again. The back of the blade keep its least amount of contact with the moving blade. So this way you don't irritate anything any skin. Okay, so I did connect it. I didn't have it in the video. Basically, here it doesn't like me messing with a shape up too much I'll just lightly touch. He does have done already and connected up to his sideburns, but I will not do his front line. He doesn't really have get that square shape up that you know. Other people do, like you, know, use a little more casual look, so I'm just connected in here going up to the top and continue the same thing on the other side. You know you want to make sure you know either keep it natural or keep it to where they want. You know and keeping the rest natural. So in his case you know neither temple area is going to be where it's supposed to be. He likes him a little thinner than what he has not too not too too wide. So you know I'll take a little bit off in this case, but not too much. So that's what you see me doing here. I did use the razor I forgot to videotape. It so you won't see me doing the razor, whereas you know the more important part is learning how to do the regular haircut and the techniques involved. So the Rays is already done here in this portion. So what I'm doing is I'm cleaning up the rest of the neck. This client does not like the razor on his neck and I don't have you know I would use a heated towels, but I don't have the heat that machine that heats up the towels. So um this guy is satisfied with using just the shaver, so I use the shaver on them and then at the end I clean up the rest of his neck and uh. You know basically that that summed it up. You see, you know again nice and easy on a neck, make sure a lot of times. Sometimes they could have little moles and stuff on the back of the neck. You got to be careful because you don't want to cut one of them. Sometimes they could. They could bleed, you know and not. Stop that you don't want. You don't want to cut the guy. So basically I'm you know. I already know him because I've cut his hair for a couple years now, so he had no problem with me just going straight with a razor blade Here. I am touching up his eyebrows particularly likes me to do that. There'S no need to use the trimmers beforehand. I like to go straight in with the blade as long as you know what you're doing and you're careful it shouldn't be a problem really ever you know a lot of people, don't like using the blade on eyebrows, but if you know what you're doing you're good So, basically lightly touching both sides. I keep them the same and you know in some cases somebody might want you to do them real thin, whereas here he just likes him cleaned up. So that's that's all I'm doing so. I'M basically making his one eyebrow that he had and I'm making it at two because he had a lot of hair in between them. Here you know lightly to cleaning up all the longer hairs, keeping it all the same length. So this way later on, when he you know he might gel his hair up. At least you know, you won't see any long hairs coming out and that pretty much concludes it. Here'S a few pictures to show the final results, so I hope you guys like it throw me a comment subscribe if you aren't subscribed yet and I'll definitely get back to you, though. Alright thanks for watching guys,

Gus Macedo: Great video. Always detailed. Just a question. I've always thought that the andis improved masters went from 0(closed) to a 1 (opened). I kept hearing u say in ur vid when u had the #3 guard and had it open, it's a 3 1/2. Wouldn't a #3 guard open be consider a 4? Can u clarity that please. Other than that, keep up the good work brotha.

Marta Dziegielewski: thats nice work, and you keep it simple! how long do you think it takes you to do a typical haircut like this? how long do you think it should take to do a fade?
