Have booked a haircut with Dan for 3 rd of Jan( although I seem to be on a waiting list ). I'll certainly be his oldest customer ever , but thought I'd treat myself. On April 1 st I fractured my leg in Thailand and then in July a routine medical revealed I had a malignant tumour in my kidney ( kidney had to be removed late October ) so I thought why not treat myself to an expensive haircut by Dan who always seems to cut and get a great style whatever length of hair he has to work with .Luckily at my age I still have a full head of hair.
I like how you phrased that "luckily at my age I still have a full head of hair," because it is 100% luck. So many guys have a superiority complex because they aren't balding and it's childish.
Such a huge change! Looks SO much better!!! He looks so handsome.. more rugged and brings out his jawline. Loved this -and the details were interesting. Great look
Excellent consultation every time! I’m a barber in San Francisco and while I completely understand the path towards what you’re saying and fully agree, I aspire to be able to give this detailed a consultation. Part of it is a time issue, and part of it is worrying about offending clients. Thank you for the inspiration. This channel is so helpful when I start to feel like my barbering has plateaued.
He has heavy temporal recession that's only going to get worse. It's best to start treatment early as it's easier to keep what you have than regrow what's lost.
Bugger wasting time tryna stop it happened. Treatment costs far too much unless you got plenty of time and money to spare. Also the drugs have side effects which aren't worth keeping hair. I'd rather be able to have sex than keep my hair.
24:27 This is true. My grandmom advised me the same thing back then when I was 15, but I forgotten about it the next day, until like in my 30s. Then I start doing it and noticed a difference. Wished I had followed it sooner, but glad I did. Huge difference.
After Dan cut his hair, Ben's hair looked so refined and controlled. Ben has such a handsome face, and now his hair matches. It is so beautiful that Dan talks with his clients. Whenever I go to a salon, whether it is outrageously expensive or moderately priced, I have never had a hair stylist ask what I would like. The last time at Ulta, I was in and out of the chair in 10 minutes and charged $100. For the first time, I called the manager when I got home. Luckily, I have blonde hair with a natural wave a few inches below my shoulders so I was able to fix it.
I appreciate that you had to go hard on editing and cut here and there to make the vid not be 1 hour, just want to let you guys know I appreciate the organic conversation a lot and that element is lost when natural pauses are cut out. Also, great cut! Looks like a full head of hair to me :)
this is a great haircut! if he is consistent with using finasteride to stabalise his hair loss + minoxidil everyday, i think his hair is 100% salvagable. his haircut at the end looks great so keeping up with fin + min everyday will only make it better. for me stablising my hair loss was key, then with the addition of a hair transplant my hair looks better than ever, but keeping the existing hair you have is key with a Hair transplant. ive been losing my hair since i was 17 and im now 27 and my hair is the best its ever looked, but you just have to keep consistent with your hair loss treatments.
I've grown out a LOT of pixie cuts in my life, and as a woman men always thought I was mad when I would say "It has to get longer before I can get it cut!" SO refreshing to hear a man say it! Brilliant job as always!
You mean life isn't us growing our hair out to get it cut off? I am a pixie cut girl in my heart but every once in a while, I think...Hmmm, why not. Lock down was the easiest grow out ever. But I'm back to the pixie.
Dan cut my hair before, i flew from ireland and it was the best cut ive ever had. Irish barbers cut all hair the same and tell me i had difficult hair. Class work again dan!
Ask any of your clients if barber/stylists are plugged in to the degree you are re: detail, communication, truthful honest communication regarding hair loss or particular style and they'll tell you next to none.. guaranteed. I subscribe to a few related channels and from here across the pond and yet your my favorite🤗 thankyou for all you do Dan!
His problem was taken away completely by the proper cut. The after cut is so good no one would know he had an issue with hair loss! Good job talking him through this haircut.
Love. Love. Love the educational material in the video. I love it when there is this "teaching moment" in a sense. It's like Dan said, it's good to get this on camera. We (mom & me) cut my dad's hair every 9 weeks, just short, shaven to 3mm gradually to 6/9 and up top carefully w/scissors. It's been fun every step of the way since 2020. My dad still loves it. But anyway, these typical gentlemen's cuts grow out so well that you can actually leave it to 10/11, even 12 weeks and it's not that bothersome to him.
I too had a side part but decided to grow out my hair. I went to my barber and asked for something more symmetrical as my right side was disconnected. As it’s grown, it looks soooo much better than and overgrown side part and I have more flexibility with styling. Cant wait till I get a few months of growth so I can get it cut how I really want.
You are a fabulous stylist Dan, always amazing results and the change in how these hair cuts suit them with your expertise on face shape etc., is something else! 💕
Wow, he is incredibly handsome! Another great makeover by Dan! He’s incredible at his job! He always seems to find the perfect new style for all the lucky gentlemen who come and sit in his chair
😍👍🏼 You did it again, Dan. Another satisfied client. 😃 He is a handsome guy. That cut looks a little similar to what he had. However, it's a sharper, crisper look. It looks nice on him. Before watching your vlogs, I didn't think men complained about their hair and the issues they had with their hair like women did/do. Thank you, Dan, for giving the men their confidence back. 😃 You remind me of this female hairstylist (Carla, The Hair Guru) who has women coming to her salon with alopecia issues. She also has a TH-cam channel. When I tell you the finished result is awesome. The women are satisfied and smiling when they see the (very) amazing job that was done. Y'all are awesome!!! 😍👍🏼 Take care. Much love. 💜🙏🏽💜🙏🏽
This haircut really compliments his beautiful hair, and handsome face:) He’ll look good bold too so no worries just do what feels right at the right time! Really great job on the haircut!! 😍
Good job man, I’m watching from the states in Arizona. Fellow Barber/stylist here. You always do such good consultations that flow very naturally. Enjoyed watching the content. Keep up the good work! 💪🏻💈👍
Dan, I wish I could see you in Australia. My hair and situation is very much like Ben’s and need a barber I’m able to have this dimensional conversation with. Many thanks for posting
Wow, amazing job. Wish you could be my permanent barber but I would have to cross the pond lol. You also do a masterful job explaining every procedure. Keep up the good work 👍
Being that he is still using products to keep his hair, one has to remember that there is NO shame at all in accepting who you are, regardless of the physical appearance. I'm glad he was able to get to Dan and have a chat and cut.
So easy to be given the wrong advice and then follow that advice for a long time before being advised better, I guess it’s a learning curve for all of us.
I always wondered about the asymmetric haircut! My old barber did that and now my new one on my second haircut did it too and it totally deflated my confidence in styling my hair and def not what i wanted. Glad to know it's intentional and not a skill issue. I want my hair symmetrical so I can do whatever i want with it.
His recession areas still have loads of velus hairs! If he started finnasteride today give it 6 months he will be back to a full hair line 100% no doubt
Stop with your bs. His hair is fine. His problem is that after washing his hair he doesn't dry his hair straight away. He needs to pat dry gently with a towel like Dan said as just leaving hair to dry itself after washing can cause hair loss
I did hairdressing in top London salons in the West End and went for interview with Sassoon, I left and did something else because i couldn't just stand there day after day spouting a load of rubbish. Hairdressing is for me a load of hype, I've heard some over the years. That young man has a good head of hair .. good casual result
Dan is honestly next level! His explainations on how the styles will/will not work, is unrivalled. Could honestly binge watch all day
Thank you!!
What a handsome young man and I think that this new hairstyle looks great on him.
I like him too he is hot. 😋😋😋 yummy
What a good looking guy looking even better with really just a small change. 👍🏻
Sometimes that’s all that’s needed! And it will be so much easier for Ben to style too
Thank you Marianne. I'm doing my best. 😀
This haircut is next level. The change is subtle, but polished where the old haircut was messy. Great job, Dan.
I thought the older hair cut looked better
Have booked a haircut with Dan for 3 rd of Jan( although I seem to be on a waiting list ). I'll certainly be his oldest customer ever , but thought I'd treat myself.

Very best wishes! I'm sure you will result Top Class!
Good thinking, and good to hear you’re on the mend. Keep healing and best wishes
@@Luis_BaruchThanks for your best wishes.
I like how you phrased that "luckily at my age I still have a full head of hair," because it is 100% luck. So many guys have a superiority complex because they aren't balding and it's childish.
Wishing you the very best for 2025
Such a huge change! Looks SO much better!!! He looks so handsome.. more rugged and brings out his jawline. Loved this -and the details were interesting.
Great look
How to create a masterpiece in a few snips. Great work both by Ben and Dan- total synergy.
Excellent consultation every time!

That’s a full head of hair. He was going to shave it?!
maybe he wouldn’t want to see it decrease.
He has heavy temporal recession that's only going to get worse. It's best to start treatment early as it's easier to keep what you have than regrow what's lost.
@@OmniscientIgnorance Treatment, sure. Shaving it off? No way.
Anyways he is taking finasteride so i think he is a good candidate for a transplant for the temples
Bugger wasting time tryna stop it happened. Treatment costs far too much unless you got plenty of time and money to spare. Also the drugs have side effects which aren't worth keeping hair. I'd rather be able to have sex than keep my hair.
What a difference hair makes. This is a total transformation . Wow!! He looks so good now with this classical haircut.
This is 100% more beneficial for him! I absolutely LOVE this ending!
24:27 This is true. My grandmom advised me the same thing back then when I was 15, but I forgotten about it the next day, until like in my 30s. Then I start doing it and noticed a difference. Wished I had followed it sooner, but glad I did. Huge difference.

Ben is even more handsome now. Great work Dan. So wish you did women's hair.
Wow! Good looking guy and the hair looks brilliant!
I appreciate that you had to go hard on editing and cut here and there to make the vid not be 1 hour, just want to let you guys know I appreciate the organic conversation a lot and that element is lost when natural pauses are cut out. Also, great cut! Looks like a full head of hair to me :)
Wow Dan is a master of his trade! That looks so good. Perfect in fact!
Wish I was "thinning" and "receding" like this gentleman...
Again, this really helps with his self-esteem ! As i have mentioned before, this is a great series. Keep it coming.

Another brilliant video. Thanks Dan for bringing us this series and helping men talk, very important.
Great haircut Ben and thanks for your honesty 👍

I always enjoy watching this series. That's not a bad hairline at all. I think a side part wouldn't look too bad.
Balanced looks great and Ben was exuding confidence in the after pic. Both Ben and Dan knew that comb over wasn't working. Always a great haircuts!!
Dan cut my hair before, i flew from ireland and it was the best cut ive ever had.
Irish barbers cut all hair the same and tell me i had difficult hair.
Class work again dan!
What a DAM Big difference, he just looks more Handsome, Great Job Dan, & Dan's hair is just gorgeous as well!

Dans knowledge for hair is next level .!! Did a simple haircut really but made a massive difference
Lovely haircut 😊 looks twice as thick!! good job Dan!! 👍👏👏
Good looking dude and perfect haircut for him! Your consults are great 👍🏼
Well done. Great update for a handsome man.
Excellent result.❤
Again, the magic appears with the turnaround. This is a new man here. That poor, sad cut he had turns into great style in front of your eyes. Bravo
Looks amazing !!!
His problem was taken away completely by the proper cut. The after cut is so good no one would know he had an issue with hair loss! Good job talking him through this haircut.
No problems, just solutions. If I met that bloke now after Dan's expert work, I wouldn't think he had hair loss issues. Great cut from the Master!
wow his cut hair looks so much better. He's blessed to have that texture in his hair. He looks terrific.
Exceptional!!! Great transformation, so natural
Love. Love. Love the educational material in the video. I love it when there is this "teaching moment" in a sense. It's like Dan said, it's good to get this on camera.

That is so much better. No sign of hair loss at all, flattering, and practical.
Wow, he is incredibly handsome! Another great makeover by Dan! He’s incredible at his job! He always seems to find the perfect new style for all the lucky gentlemen who come and sit in his chair
Client sounds like David Beckham
Dan's not only a master but he's total sweetheart. Ben's a handsome guy and this haircut was perfect on him.
Wow! This dude understands his craft👏
So much better!!! Great looking lad! xx

Excellent work! I've never really wanted to live in London, but just having access to that barber shop makes it tempting lol
Honestly, if I was him, I’d keep it just like that, looks perfect! Please tour the states!
Really good haircut. He looks so good.
great work as always, and very handsome client
The after looks great - the before had some CRAZY hair there on the crown! But Dan does magic as always.
You are such a wonderful barber! I love your videos!
He’s very good looking and your haircut sets his look off perfectly.
This haircut really
compliments his
beautiful hair, and
handsome face:)
He’ll look good bold
too so no worries just
do what feels right at
the right time!
Really great job on the
haircut!! 😍
much better. you've shown us why the balancing aspect is key.
Your videos are my therapy. I make my girlfriend watch them with me and it's so relaxing when bored
Good job man, I’m watching from the states in Arizona. Fellow Barber/stylist here. You always do such good consultations that flow very naturally. Enjoyed watching the content. Keep up the good work! 💪🏻💈👍
Incredible transformation on a handsome man.
What a pleasure to watch!
dan you are at the top of your profession, chapeau 🍀
Dan, I wish I could see you in Australia. My hair and situation is very much like Ben’s and need a barber I’m able to have this dimensional conversation with. Many thanks for posting
great cut. dudes need to start embracing the recession - looks more masculine and sooo much better than a combover
That's a fantastic haircut Dan!! He looks so handsome!😊👏👏👏👌🫧
Very nice haircut, suits you young man 🌸
Wow, amazing job. Wish you could be my permanent barber but I would have to cross the pond lol. You also do a masterful job explaining every procedure. Keep up the good work 👍
Excellent haircut!!
simple, good and effective, looks way better!
Being that he is still using products to keep his hair, one has to remember that there is NO shame at all in accepting who you are, regardless of the physical appearance. I'm glad he was able to get to Dan and have a chat and cut.
Great haircut! Definitely more balanced.. He looks great!
It looks soo good! So glad he didn’t go back to the skin fade!
I need you as my Barber 🥲
So easy to be given the wrong advice and then follow that advice for a long time before being advised better, I guess it’s a learning curve for all of us.
A very nice result ! Perfect even!
Love it! He looks amazing
Beautifully done!
He’s a long way from shaving it all off! The haircut is a great but butler change. He’s a great looking guy with a great haircut!
Ben has lovely colouring - his eyes, hair, skin. This haircut looks so much better, and is sharper. Knock um dead, Ben 😊
I always wondered about the asymmetric haircut! My old barber did that and now my new one on my second haircut did it too and it totally deflated my confidence in styling my hair and def not what i wanted. Glad to know it's intentional and not a skill issue. I want my hair symmetrical so I can do whatever i want with it.
Looks great and I believe it will look better with r\each cut as it grows longer.
Dan another great job. This young man looks so handsome
WOW... Just a small and correct hair cut makes a BIG DIFFERENCE... Really brings out just how good looking he really is.
This guy is so handsome. Such good facial structure.
I really just don't understand the unbalanced haircuts! It does not do anything for the person getting it. Thanks for explaining it!
Way better!! He would look good with a buzz cut too i bet!
No..
10:30 I hate that term "combover" Thats one of my indicators to get out of the seat. Im not receding or blading use "part" or "slick back"
Buzz it tight and rock the shadow look
Oh my goodness. He is so handsome he’d suit really short hair. Beard looks great on him too.
Very handsome guy. I wished I looked like him. Just for one day! He should be in a Soap on tv in the US.
4:56 listening to what the client wants, I would have to talk him out of it, personally. I can’t wait to see how you handle it.
great cut!
His recession areas still have loads of velus hairs!
If he started finnasteride today give it 6 months he will be back to a full hair line 100% no doubt
He said he is on finasteride and minoxidil for a year. I think he should start using dut cuz his hairloss is quite aggressive
@@adwaitkale315I wonder when he started treatment in his hair loss journey, if he had started early, it would have been much better
Stop with your bs. His hair is fine. His problem is that after washing his hair he doesn't dry his hair straight away. He needs to pat dry gently with a towel like Dan said as just leaving hair to dry itself after washing can cause hair loss
Looks fantastic. I would never even think there was any recession. I don't see it now.
Bravo Dan!
This is one handsome guy
I did hairdressing in top London salons in the West End and went for interview with Sassoon, I left and did something else because i couldn't just stand there day after day spouting a load of rubbish. Hairdressing is for me a load of hype, I've heard some over the years. That young man has a good head of hair .. good casual result

He is SO very handsome
Oh… that handsome guy
