I'm cutting my husband's hair tomorrow. The survival of my marriage may well depend on the instructions in this video. 🤣 ETA: The haircut went very well! I have since cut my son's hair this way as well. Take your time, only cut a little at first, then go back and cut more if you need to, and it will go well!
@@kausarahmed4196 true im right handed but the left side was so hard to cut i almost just gave up hahah. Also i think it takes a bit or getting used to.
Just finished my 1st haircut by myself. It went mostly ok and the end result is certainly rough, but in some ways its closer to how I always wanted my hair to look like, cause I never seemed to be able to articulate to the barber exactly what I wanted. So what I'm trying to say is, thanks!
I feel like we’ve come full circle. I’ve been comfortably cutting my own hair for 2 years with the help of a couple of your old videos. This is literally how I found you and became a huge fan :)
@@GarrettFischer1 I feel y'alls pain, I'm being told my hair is starting to look like Clint Eastwood's !! (that's the OLD Clint, not the cooler, younger Clint!)
I started cutting my hair myself a year ago, to save money and the time of seeing a Barber . I'm proud of the cuts I do, your first video on cutting was what Inspired me to learn. Thank you Sir Alpha!
If you're still out there. Would you be interested in giving me a very nice and very short military style recon haircut, very short on the top, and the back and sides cut as close to the skin as you can get them, all the way up just a little bit higher than the poridal ridge area, that high all the way around my head from side to side?
Much respect for churning out "at home" content. Shows you're not out of touch with what's happening in the world (as opposed to others uploading "queued" fashion videos).
As someone that never liked having to "socialise" in order to get my head cooled for a few months, I'm glad I took the plunge during first UK lockdown to find this video, which I now use everytime to refresh my memory. Awesome tutorial, and nobody can tell I cut my own hair.
Followed this guide and gave myself an amazing barber quality haircut on my first try. The fade came out really nice using the lifting tip you gave us. My hair grows really fast and barbers are expensive, so I'm saving this video to cut my own hair every month. Thanks for the tutorial, it helped me a lot.
I started with a mop and it was kind of difficult to start. You have to comb your hair into a part and just keep going with your clippers on the largest gaurd until you finally cut all the long.ass hair off
It's been 3 months since getting my last haircut. I have a job interview and need to get a cut badly! I followed his instructions and did it myself. My wife offered to cut it, but I wanted the satisfaction to say that I did it myself! It actually came out pretty good. I appreciate the video! Now I feel like me, again! Thank you!!!! 👍
I never cut my own hair before the quarantine, I usually go to the barbershop once a month but here I am cutting my own hair every two weeks almost, and we’ve been in quarantine for one and half months I cut my hair for 4 times, the first time I did really well but it took my like one and half hours! The second time it took me about one hour with all detailing and stuff and the third time it took me around 40 mins the 4th time it took me 25 mins at most and really well nice sharp cut!
That's right. I usually get it cut very short and then wait at least 6 weeks or longer until it gets long again. I guess it would be preferable to cut it more often and keep it at a more constant length.
Just wanted to say thanks for this- I ended up getting a grooming kit for myself after watching this video and have been cutting my hair since March now. Saved a ton of money :O
Well.... everyone out here saying they messed up but hey, if your looking for a bit of hope guys i have now cut my hair twice over lock down for the first time after seeing this video. If you dont have a complicated haircut its pretty easy to do. I cut mine 3 back and sides and scissor cut on top (my usual cut) and it came out really good to be fair, infact i might not even be going to see the barber again after this. Not going to lie its difficult the first time you do it but by the second cut i got used to it and i am glad this video gave me the confidence to do it. so THANKS ALPHA M! A few tips for your first cut: make sure you spend time with the two mirrors and have a "dummy run" with the equipment first. meaning just get a feel for doing the back hairline with the clipper turned off. Always cut it further down than it should be when doing the hairline to start and then when you know where it will cut gradually bring it up higher to where it should be. once you have the initial line you can trim the back up once a week to make it easier to follow on the next haircut. The top is easy once you get used to the scissors, but again make sure you leave enough on there as you can take more off if you need to. The back can be hard to start with but its worth learning to do the entire thing yourself so you dont have to depend on someone else to do it. but honestly guys just do it! it took me 2 hours on the first try, second try was only 45mins and now i will do it every 2 weeks as it makes it easier to cut and follow the initial cut. It was 2 months before i got to cut my own hair so it will be difficult to cut for the first time, the longer you leave it the harder it will be to follow what you or your barber has previously done. Just go for it! take your time! DO NOT RUSH! and enjoy a fresh cut!
wow! thanks people 39 likes! just an update on this 3 months later.... i am still cutting my own hair and it now seems stupid to be going back to the barbers! i bet they are wondering where i am! still cutting my own hair for 3 months and i have cut it every 2 weeks. i changed things up a bit and i am letting the top grow out more. but thats the great thing, once you learn to do it all yourself its so easy to change your style. i am so glad i spent the time initially to learn how to cut the neckline as in my opinion that is the hardest part still, but i am getting there with it now. once you know what you are doing its so much faster than going to the barbers, cut it today and it took me about 30 mins. if i went to the barbers i have to drive down there and thats 10 mins both ways (20 mins) then i am waiting for a minimum of 15 mins, then the haircut 15-20 mins so it saves alot of time. and for me that is the main selling point, i dont want to wait around and chat to people i want the job done. i have also been cutting my fathers hair now and we are both saving alot of money and time, no brainer in my book. Again thanks AlphaM for giving me the confidence to try this, it has given me a life long skill that will save me money and time for years to come :). come on guys you got this! if you fail the first time keep at it!
@MechReports The good thing about people cutting their own hair during lockdown is that the queues at the barbers and hair salons would not be that long when they reopen. It removes some of the pressure from them and their clients.
Hey, just wanted to stop by and say thank you! I decided to cut out my hair that I've been growing for like five years, and I decided today that it was finally time. This tutorial is awesome! Very empowering, thank you!
For everyone who needs to hear this, go for it, when are u gonna try something like this if not now. I'm glad I did and it was alright actually, good luck!
Btw I'm a Barca fan that UCL game when Conte was incharge....fucking mental Messi nutmeggs curtouis twice willian hits the post twice....crazy....I hope they cancel football so Liverpool don't win the league...at least when Chelsea beat us no one bragged about it just classic fun football..Torres iniesta....those were the days
Thanks. Been cutting my own hair since Covid, takes a while to master it, but practice makes perfect. I doubt I will ever go back to the barber. Shaver cost me $50 and I have saved not just money but time, scheduling appointment, waiting in a chair for my turn etc, save time and money. Not everyone has the right type of hair, but if you have straight hair, you can do it
Thanks dad Alpha! As always saving the day. This was the first time ever I cut my own hair and I was surprised how good I did it. To those doubting if you should try it or not, trust me, just follow this video. Take your time, make good use of the mirrors find good lightning and it will work out just fine!
Been cutting my own hair for 4 years now, it takes a few times to get it to look decent. A micro adjustable beard trimmer works amazing for detailed fading! Take your time, stay chill and if all goes wrong, it will grow back. You got this!
@@heyneedhelp8266 I usually cut my hair short with fading, I have medium length hair now and I am going to let it grow back to long. If I were to cut it, I would just lightly trim it up a bit (nothing drastic) to get the lose ends looking nicer. It takes a lot longer to trim it than to cut it short, I would just trim it once a month to promote healthy hair growth. Wouldn't hurt to look up a medium/long hair barber video or two. Worse case, it doesn't turn out well, you can go get it fixed. Hope this helps, Cheers!
Thanks alpha m. I have been cutting my own hair since March. As long as your not a perfectionist it is a great way to save money. The trick is to not cut your hair super short and just practice. This is a savings of 300 a year. Not alot, but every little bit adds up
Dear Alpha, I love how much you care about your viewers, you really sound so genuine. It feels like we have known you for years. Stay safe, and continue making killer content! Cheers :)
I am the only guy in college who grows the top out doing side parts with medium side and back. Kinda like the old school leo hairstyle but a bit longer
Same here! Few months ago I shaved all my hair off and decided to restart my hair and start a new style, just now waiting for it to get longer, but it's growing well so far!
The fact that this has 3 million views and it’s been released about a month ago makes me feel a little less stupid for doing this Update: it turned out.. eh.. fine? For a first timer, honestly I thought it didn`t look bad except for my wife laughing everytime she looked at the back of my head (which I did myself as well)
I feel stupid just having bangs that touch my nose when wet. So I'll take the pain of having to cut my own hair and the disasterous results it will bring.
Everything was going just fine but then my my clipper died. I took off the plastic thing and let it charge. I came back to finish the job and now I have a bald spot on my head 😂. All because I forgot to put back the plastic : /
We’re gonna be telling our grandkids about this someday: “back in the Coronavirus days, we couldn’t go to barbers... but we DID have *Alpha M and Tiege Hanley* “
Brogan, hi from the UK , don't think I have laughed more reading the comments posted on here and yours is one of the best. At least we still have humour. Stay safe , stay in .
Hi from Goa, India, thanks for sharing this video with all your tips... i have successfully cut my own hair at home. I used a beard trimmer for sides and back and comb and scissors for the top. I watched your video and it gave me a lot of inspiration. The hair cut went perfect. Now i feel encouraged to do my haircuts at home itself. ..
I dont know about you but doing something in a mirror is the most difficult thing ever for me... No matter how much I focus I cant even move my hand in the direction I want to
Thank you! Cut my hair the first time and managed to give myself more of what I wanted than my own barber. Now my cut fits my blockhead better than usual.
I have been cutting my own hair since April based on youtube instructional videos, they haven't all been perfect, but it's OK because; 1. I own hats and 2. I am avoiding people (It helps that I am retired). And I am getting better at it. Today will be haircut number five which means I saved $100 or so thus far. I do miss the nice lady who was cutting my hair though.
It was just to be funny, i just find that all those people running to get toilet paper for no reason is quite ridiculous and funny, glad you understood
My wife did this to me last month in the instructions were perfect, everyone at work thought I went to a salon. Pulling this video up again cuz now me and my dad are getting our haircut LOL
This is the only TH-cam video that has save a bunch of money, I never went back a paid someone for a haircut cut; I can cut my hair with no problem now. Thanks
and a small tip that some are forgetting. When your hair is wet it stretches. So don't cut too much off as when it dries it'll be shorter. Wash your hair after and dry it and it could settle a little differently and you might have to tweak it a little more. And with everyone staying home and you make mistakes. Wear a hat if you are going out. Otherwise....it grows back!
Ok, so I wouldn’t know because I’m just a straight haired normie, but couldn’t you just temporarily straighten your hair and then cut it and do the same process???
At 3:35 - I’ve watched Alpha for years, never noticed his profile. I have a big nose and Aaron is making my schnoz look normal/small. That said, this man has helped SOOOOO many men with so many topics, it’s unbelievable. Aaron, you’re a great contribution to society. Everyone nose it.
Okay, listen this is getting kinda creepy whenever I start wondering about a topic I'm pretty passionate about you come in and always help out and just yesterday was that day. You're the man alpha keep on man!
Like many, I watched the video and was ready to move on, but for a change I had to comment. This guy taught me something and felt I had to post. One Word Awesome.
During the quarantine, I acquired the look of a castaway. I followed your instructions about the clipper for all my head -I was not confident enough to try the scissors part. Now I look like a civilized person again. The most important detail of your tutorial I think was the "up and roll" tip. That keeps the disaster away. Thanks!!
Lol, I’m watching how to cut men’s hair because I had to cut my boyfriend’s hair not that long ago because of everything going on... Anddd I kind of butchered it.. LOL! This is one of my first videos I’ve watched from you, and I said at the end of your video: “What a nice guy!” Thanks for the helpful video and stay safe everyone!
Guys i have corona virus i am 17 years old its not that bad just a sore throat and a bit of fever Im not at risk cause im young im quarantined in my room hope you all are safe you too alpha Uptade after 6 days most symptoms are gone im feeling much better
Tho I'm 18 and i have a sore throat and a bit of fever and headache but i can't take a test, do you think i have that virus!? I'm terrified for my parents i don't wanna transmission it to them :(
@@idam931 yeah thats right. there's no other symptoms so i can identify it more? Actually i didn't leave my house for a month or so also i didn't interact with any human being but my family. That's why im a bit skeptical about it.
141622blisterblue he could’ve but he didnt want a single length all around the back and sides. ive certainly seen worse and i certainly did worse myself upon starting to cut
Dude, thank you. It took me 2:30 hours though, but I like the result. I never thought that I could do it, but your video has good vibes so I tried. Good tutorial.
I cut my hair for the first time, thanks to your inspiration! The main issue was going around the back i don't have a hand mirror. I was able to do a decent fade regardless. I just used my hands as placement to when to stop cutting. This def gets better the more you practice
Farhan Keddah Each barber covers two, maybe three clients maximum an hour on busy days. The $40-70/hr has to cover salaries, rent, etc, and that’s pre-taxes. On most weekdays, barbershops aren’t that busy, so the numbers would be much worse. I would guess most barbershops operate on super tight margins as is, so the current shutdown would make their business even more difficult to continue.
Alpha, apologies for this late reply but I would like to thankyou for this video, this video propelled me to hunt down the the Whal designers clippers during the covid lockdown in my country 6 months back. A set that literally no knows in my country except for Amazon have every heard off and give self cutting a try. I haven't regret it every since. Self cutting is like eating a well prepared dish, the satisfaction at the end of it unexplainable.. Despite being this late, would like to thankyou for teaching us all a new skill and helping us to find our Alpha and the confidence in is all. Take care and stay safe.. Thankfully Joseph.

Enoc Estrada Avila th-cam.com/video/nf_58J3_9aE/w-d-xo.html I made a video on activity’s that doesn’t involve cutting your own hair
Lol
Hahaha
if you want how to cut hair you can cross my channel learn more beside learn from this video
I am a barber over 10 years I always cut my own hair
😂😂
Thanks Aaron, this is going to be useful, especially during these times of self isolation
Just Some Guy without a Mustache how are you on this video too????
Hey, just wanted to stop by and say thank you! I decided to cut out my hair that I've been growing for like five years, and I decided today that it was finally time. This tutorial is awesome! Very empowering, thank you!
I actually managed to do it well. Might go less often to the barber even after corona outbreak. Thanks for saving my money :)
For everyone who needs to hear this, go for it, when are u gonna try something like this if not now. I'm glad I did and it was alright actually, good luck!
How's rudiger
Btw I'm a Barca fan that UCL game when Conte was incharge....fucking mental Messi nutmeggs curtouis twice willian hits the post twice....crazy....I hope they cancel football so Liverpool don't win the league...at least when Chelsea beat us no one bragged about it just classic fun football..Torres iniesta....those were the days
Exactly after a few attempts you will get good an never need a baber again
I like this
@@RobertDudeMan I did perfect gave myself a fade and everything
After watching this video....I successfully extended my lockdown to further 3 months!!
Lmaoooo
Wow
LOL
Oh man thank you funny shit 😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks. Been cutting my own hair since Covid, takes a while to master it, but practice makes perfect. I doubt I will ever go back to the barber. Shaver cost me $50 and I have saved not just money but time, scheduling appointment, waiting in a chair for my turn etc, save time and money. Not everyone has the right type of hair, but if you have straight hair, you can do it
Next time I’m in the barbershop: “Can I have the Covid-19 fade please?”
Nick 💀💀
Corona fade
That shit was funny 😄
🤣
COFADE-19
I've been cutting my hair for 5+ years. Never thought I'll seriously need this skill one day...
Thanks dad Alpha! As always saving the day. This was the first time ever I cut my own hair and I was surprised how good I did it. To those doubting if you should try it or not, trust me, just follow this video. Take your time, make good use of the mirrors find good lightning and it will work out just fine!
idk where to buy good lightning i checked home depot and lowes but they didnt have any
Well I can say with confidence I’ve been getting compliments and it was my first time cutting my own hair
Been cutting my own hair for 4 years now, it takes a few times to get it to look decent. A micro adjustable beard trimmer works amazing for detailed fading! Take your time, stay chill and if all goes wrong, it will grow back. You got this!
Isit ok if i have very long hair? I jus hav to use the same method right only diff is trim more hair?
@@heyneedhelp8266 I usually cut my hair short with fading, I have medium length hair now and I am going to let it grow back to long. If I were to cut it, I would just lightly trim it up a bit (nothing drastic) to get the lose ends looking nicer. It takes a lot longer to trim it than to cut it short, I would just trim it once a month to promote healthy hair growth. Wouldn't hurt to look up a medium/long hair barber video or two. Worse case, it doesn't turn out well, you can go get it fixed. Hope this helps, Cheers!

I just shaved my head. Fun times!
I am about to take the plunge just bought cordless hair clippers😥
Good one! lol :-)
Thanks alpha m. I have been cutting my own hair since March. As long as your not a perfectionist it is a great way to save money. The trick is to not cut your hair super short and just practice. This is a savings of 300 a year. Not alot, but every little bit adds up
Dear Alpha,
I love how much you care about your viewers, you really sound so genuine. It feels like we have known you for years. Stay safe, and continue making killer content!
Cheers :)
I’m growing my hair out! When my hair was long it made me more confident and it’s just part of me, I don’t wanna look like every other guy 🤷🏼♂️
Jordan Baldwin same
Most attractive men have long hair!
I’m glad others agree! 😃
I am the only guy in college who grows the top out doing side parts with medium side and back. Kinda like the old school leo hairstyle but a bit longer
Same here! Few months ago I shaved all my hair off and decided to restart my hair and start a new style, just now waiting for it to get longer, but it's growing well so far!
i got a buzzcut before the quarantine started, this is the best time ever haha
Guy that doesn’t need haircut gives himself a haircut 💇♂️
Ikr but tbh I can't blame him for feeling like that
It's so he can promote his own products.... Like in every other video of his
@@adamtracey8754 YES!
The fact that this has 3 million views and it’s been released about a month ago makes me feel a little less stupid for doing this
Update: it turned out.. eh.. fine? For a first timer, honestly I thought it didn`t look bad except for my wife laughing everytime she looked at the back of my head (which I did myself as well)
your comment was about a week ago and now its 4 millions. Then one million people has searched for this in a week
Almost 5 million now 😂
Yea now I don't feel so stupid....oh wait I still do....
I feel stupid just having bangs that touch my nose when wet. So I'll take the pain of having to cut my own hair and the disasterous results it will bring.
@@bakersmileyface I was literally in the same situation, I even got headaches from it

Damn man! You reeeeeally fucked up😂😂
Everything was going just fine but then my my clipper died. I took off the plastic thing and let it charge. I came back to finish the job and now I have a bald spot on my head 😂. All because I forgot to put back the plastic : /
xD
Rip
On a positive note: its probably grown back by now
Same thing happened with me . But twice . :(
😭
We’re gonna be telling our grandkids about this someday: “back in the Coronavirus days, we couldn’t go to barbers... but we DID have *Alpha M and Tiege Hanley* “
Brogan, hi from the UK , don't think I have laughed more reading the comments posted on here and yours is one of the best. At least we still have humour. Stay safe , stay in .
Hi from Goa, India,
thanks for sharing this video with all your tips... i have successfully cut my own hair at home. I used a beard trimmer for sides and back and comb and scissors for the top.
I watched your video and it gave me a lot of inspiration.
The hair cut went perfect.
Now i feel encouraged to do my haircuts at home itself. ..
I dont know about you but doing something in a mirror is the most difficult thing ever for me... No matter how much I focus I cant even move my hand in the direction I want to
I always move my hand the opposite direction.
@@Shqiptarivertet me too 😂😂😂😂😂
Need more video games in your life
Try to focus more on your actual hand rather than psyching yourself out from the mirror image
Just imagine you have a inverted hand, or you can move your head around.
Thank you! Cut my hair the first time and managed to give myself more of what I wanted than my own barber. Now my cut fits my blockhead better than usual.
Had my girlfriend do it. Best haircut in years. I always get jacked up or come out looking like a nerd at the barber or at the salon.
Okay what is this wizardry, I was just complaining about how all the barbers were closed last night 😳 🧙♂️
Alpha coming in CLUTCH with this tutorial! Thank you sir! You should make a home workout tutorial too!
I have been cutting my own hair since April based on youtube instructional videos, they haven't all been perfect, but it's OK because; 1. I own hats and 2. I am avoiding people (It helps that I am retired). And I am getting better at it. Today will be haircut number five which means I saved $100 or so thus far. I do miss the nice lady who was cutting my hair though.
Last time i have been this early, toilet paper wasn't a endangered specie
😂😂😂
It was just to be funny, i just find that all those people running to get toilet paper for no reason is quite ridiculous and funny, glad you understood
I tried. Now I’m deep into Kim Jong Un territory. Oh well. It’ll grow back.
I look like Yolandi from Die Antwoord. High five.
Lol
Nah, you’re still alive
That's no bueno. Go for the Sinead o'connor look.
Jerry Lancaster th-cam.com/video/nf_58J3_9aE/w-d-xo.html I made a video on activity’s that doesn’t involve cutting your own hair
Damn it! I just noticed that I can't cut my hair without my glasses on.
Relatable
Same thing happened with me bro..
Get a video for that issue....
same i had to shave my head 🥺
Try taping your glass to the mirror, that way at least your reflection can see clearly
My wife did this to me last month in the instructions were perfect, everyone at work thought I went to a salon. Pulling this video up again cuz now me and my dad are getting our haircut LOL
Aaron be talkin' about "pulling out", "just the tip", and "the shaft" - lol
I literally searched up "how to trim your own hair" and i stumbled upon this video of you Alpha from today! What a coincidence.
Person: first attempt of cutting own hair
Clippers: im about to end this mans career
This is the only TH-cam video that has save a bunch of money, I never went back a paid someone for a haircut cut; I can cut my hair with no problem now. Thanks
and a small tip that some are forgetting. When your hair is wet it stretches. So don't cut too much off as when it dries it'll be shorter. Wash your hair after and dry it and it could settle a little differently and you might have to tweak it a little more. And with everyone staying home and you make mistakes. Wear a hat if you are going out. Otherwise....it grows back!
„Barber Shops Closed“. *looks at dad* Dad: „Stay Right there, don‘t move!“
Ahhhhhhh shit here we go again... 🤣😅😂😭💀, Lol like bro I feel your pain LOL/LMAO
Dad goes and grabs a bowl and scissors haha
Me: *has curly hair*
Everyone: Here's how to cut easy straight hair
you dead amigo, sooo dead. I've seen a curly hair friend get his hair cut, it took a professional twice the time, you'll take hours
One method Aaron didn't show is going super short with a "buzz cut" and letting it grow out. Though his side's are that short. Get a hat to help.
I got curly hair too and I’m only cuttin my sides 😭 ion trust myself to do the top
Ok, so I wouldn’t know because I’m just a straight haired normie, but couldn’t you just temporarily straighten your hair and then cut it and do the same process???
You lucky to have curly hair bro. Can be easier to cut and style.
At 3:35 - I’ve watched Alpha for years, never noticed his profile. I have a big nose and Aaron is making my schnoz look normal/small.
That said, this man has helped SOOOOO many men with so many topics, it’s unbelievable.
Aaron, you’re a great contribution to society. Everyone nose it.
9:14 Now im gonna turn around, *his hair is doing a smiley face on his back* not too bad huh?
i Died. 😂😂
Hey Mr. Aaron Marino, You know what??
You are a living Legend.
You earned the damn Respect from the core of my HEART♥️👍
Okay, listen this is getting kinda creepy whenever I start wondering about a topic I'm pretty passionate about you come in and always help out and just yesterday was that day. You're the man alpha keep on man!
Pedro’s Gaming and Animations Same! I got the clippers out today and everything. Decided to not do it but maybe this video is a sign🧐
Like many, I watched the video and was ready to move on, but for a change I had to comment. This guy taught me something and felt I had to post. One Word Awesome.
everybodys gonna come out with a fugged up haircut after quarantine lol
Im dead
That’s how a new weird trend is gonna come up, especially with this new generation. Having a messed up hair cut is gonna be the new thing. Lol
Just buzz it if you fail. That’s what I’m going to do lol
update: I failed so I buzzed it.
@@TheChaster123 that sucks
My teenage son has asked me to cut his hair. Wish me luck.
How did it turn out? :D
Did it go well?
Rip
I'm watching the videos to show my mom which one to watch before cutting my hairs!
How did it go 🤣
This could basically end hundreds of barber businesses at New York City.
After what I did to my hair today, I think the barber's are safe.
😅
lets go with 30%
During the quarantine, I acquired the look of a castaway. I followed your instructions about the clipper for all my head -I was not confident enough to try the scissors part. Now I look like a civilized person again. The most important detail of your tutorial I think was the "up and roll" tip. That keeps the disaster away. Thanks!!
Lol, I’m watching how to cut men’s hair because I had to cut my boyfriend’s hair not that long ago because of everything going on... Anddd I kind of butchered it.. LOL! This is one of my first videos I’ve watched from you, and I said at the end of your video: “What a nice guy!” Thanks for the helpful video and stay safe everyone!

Guys i have corona virus i am 17 years old its not that bad just a sore throat and a bit of fever
Im not at risk cause im young im quarantined in my room hope you all are safe you too alpha
Uptade after 6 days most symptoms are gone im feeling much better
Sid you get s blood test to confirm it?
Tho I'm 18 and i have a sore throat and a bit of fever and headache but i can't take a test, do you think i have that virus!? I'm terrified for my parents i don't wanna transmission it to them :(
@@AllMosquitozBegone it's very possible. But I don't know, I'm not a doctor or scientist
If your family don't have it, it's not corona
@@idam931
yeah thats right.
there's no other symptoms so i can identify it more? Actually i didn't leave my house for a month or so also i didn't interact with any human being but my family. That's why im a bit skeptical about it.
worst thing in germany is theres no quarantine but barbers are all closed so we have to go out with our custom haircuts XD

crazy thing as a barber i can honestly say his technique isn’t really that bad
I was just thinkin the same bro 😂
Noe Galvan bro stop. As a barber (as well 12 years) You know damn well it is. He should’ve just used the 4 allover and left it at that
141622blisterblue he could’ve but he didnt want a single length all around the back and sides. ive certainly seen worse and i certainly did worse myself upon starting to cut
Mate I'm only an apprentice and can honestky say this is woeful 😂
JBCPlays again, he isnt a barber nor is he attempting to be one. just making the most of his situation
Dude, thank you. It took me 2:30 hours though, but I like the result. I never thought that I could do it, but your video has good vibes so I tried. Good tutorial.
I’d love more of these ‘COVID-19 Survival Guide’ type videos. Gotta keep the grooming on point! 😉
I cut my hair for the first time, thanks to your inspiration! The main issue was going around the back i don't have a hand mirror. I was able to do a decent fade regardless. I just used my hands as placement to when to stop cutting. This def gets better the more you practice

Never been so early !!! Can I get a heart 😂
After the outbreak the barbershops and parlors are gonna go bankrupt when most people learn how to cut their own or each other's hair.
Good, they are WAY!!! to expensive. $20 to $25 a male cut. Ridiculous.
Farhan Keddah Each barber covers two, maybe three clients maximum an hour on busy days. The $40-70/hr has to cover salaries, rent, etc, and that’s pre-taxes. On most weekdays, barbershops aren’t that busy, so the numbers would be much worse. I would guess most barbershops operate on super tight margins as is, so the current shutdown would make their business even more difficult to continue.
Alpha, apologies for this late reply but I would like to thankyou for this video, this video propelled me to hunt down the the Whal designers clippers during the covid lockdown in my country 6 months back. A set that literally no knows in my country except for Amazon have every heard off and give self cutting a try.
I haven't regret it every since. Self cutting is like eating a well prepared dish, the satisfaction at the end of it unexplainable..
Despite being this late, would like to thankyou for teaching us all a new skill and helping us to find our Alpha and the confidence in is all. Take care and stay safe..
Thankfully
Joseph.
