Honestly, I believe this is one of your best videos yet. You really touched on the important things that a lot of people and even barbers don’t care or even think of doing.
Much appreciated bro 🙏🏾. I regularly see the focus of content on technical skill, yet not too many "tutorials" on improving the mind of a barber. This is one of my favorite videos so far.
Man I love your videos and your way of thinking as a barber. Your right on the money man . Thanks for taking the time to enlighten us barbers. Hope you continue giving us such great advice. I’ve been barbering for 39 years and you’re taught me things I’ve never were taught in barbering school . Keep up your good work man. My respect to you. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏👏👏👏👏
This definitely needs to be said a lot more Kev, people have it twisted. personality and interacting with the customer is way more important than trying to achieve the cleanest fade ever. I’ve been learning this side of customer service myself.
Brother....You really hit the nail on the head with your philosophy about barbers. Most barbers are cluless on customer service, evolution in skills, communication and overall kindness. I wish I had a barber likr you in my nic of the woods. Im done with barbers. I'm about to learn to cut my own hair.
I can't count how many times I've heard barbers on TH-cam say that it doesn't matter whether you give a great cut as long as you give a great service, but you're the first one to actually explain in such clarity what that really means and how to achieve it. Kevv, you're wise beyond your years and your outlook is impressive at such a young age. Don't focus on the income... focus on the outcome and the money will take care of itself. Love.
You and me both Blake. i remember being very confused at what that phrase actually meant and struggled to search for answers. What exactly is service? Especially when it comes to raising prices, people just say do better and you'll have better. The how and the why aren't explained. Appreciate the love man, always 🙏🏾.
That leads me to another great topic for a future video... how, when, and how much to raise your prices. The industry buzzwords are, "know your worth" but what does that actually mean?...
Definitely already in the works. I love that topic so much I'm scared I won't do it justice. lol. So i've put it on hold kind of. but I'm just going to go for it. Probably next week or so.
The advice you are giving about how you treat your clients... It shows in your video work. You treat your subscribers just like you treat your clients. Great job
8:04 Although I stopped going to the barbers because I found haircuts inconsistent I agree with this point, especially with Black barbershops I went to. It wasn't even just being good, it was being expected to be a certain way.
I just wanna mention that you take the time to make these videos look “quality” stepping out in cold weather to record the outside of the shop...passionate barber
Great great video! My wife and I own a beauty and barber shop. I naturally do these things your talking about with clients and they love it they love the experience. The other ladies in there don't understand why they tip so well and love coming back to me, I guess I didn't either. My wife said they love talking to you so yes this makes sense to hear you say this. It's the experience it's the conversation and the attention I give them. They eat it up. When the other stylists in the salon see them as a number, their just trying to get done and on to the next one.
I was smacked right to my face with the words of wisdom. I'm still at school, but after watching this video I understand the tendency of clients coming back to me even though last haircut wasn't my best work but I got somewhat connection with them. Thanks vor the vid.
🤯...I’m just gonna pause for a moment....................BRO!!!! The info on this joint right here! This is exactly why I chose to go hard. It’s about how you make someone feel! Two things I live by, it’s about having great rapport and being able to have a positive influence. People literally, want to know THEY MATTER! Yeah man shout out to you for speaking on it!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Bro you get it all the way. It's about the client, and the feeling. They don't care about the technical stuff. Build that relationship man. And word appreciate you for watching man!
Kevv you hit the nail on the head. I cut my own hair and my kids hair for the exact same reasons you pointed out. I’m Not a professional but I know what I’m doing. I stop taking my kids to barbershops because of the foul language, extremely loud music where the barber can’t even hear you tell them what kind of haircut you want. I’m a professional installer and starting my own business, what you are pointing out every one can learn from no matter what you do in life. Everything you do in life you learn and roll over to the next chapter in life. Keep up the good work I’ve been following you since you started in the basement.
Appreciate that input! I agree completely, especially with it being applicable in all fields. That's I don't like when people in the industry or outside of it minimize barbering, because the lessons learned behind this chair can make anyone successful in any field. I've always seen life as a cool game where you get to improve yourself, and try again. Thanks for the support man! Appreciate your comment 🙏🏾
Real talk, clients don't know the difference. No matter how you fade, they will always get out of the chair and thank you for the haircut. If it looks good, then the Jobs a gooden!!
this was a really good video, its exactly how i feel that I have built my clientelle in just the 2 yrs ive been cutting hair. as a female barber i figured itd be harder to build but being this way like you explained has really made my clientelle stay loyal and continue to grow
Damn, I never really sat back and thought about if a client can really tell what a great fade really is. I stay coming across people in the streets or bar or club with a fade that isn’t clean. It’s either patchy or you see some lines that weren’t blended as well, slightly uneven lineup. What you say is true now that I think about it. Dope vid. Subbed
I've been on the business end of the beauty industry most of my adult life. Now I'm considering starting barbering at 35 years old. Thanks for the videos.
I’m a barber in Washington and I went to Paul Mitchell myself and what your talking about is awesome most barbers forget that it’s all about the client good stuff bro keep it up
Too many barbers forget about that man. I feel it maybe because they didn't even come in the industry to serve others, just themselves. But yea the paul mitchell system is definitely big on that.
Aye man this video really opened up on how I see things now especially as a barber, I didn’t get my license yet but I claim myself as a barber cause that’s my passion. This video is great
Bro I just graduated from Texas Barber College. You have been inspiring & educating me through the whole process. I'm in a shop now Life Changing Cuts in Houston Texas. I'm definitely talking this advice to heart. Thank you
It depends on the shop; some shops the culture is set where being personable like that is a requirement especially shops that are servicing clients with higher incomes which it looks like barber's table is in. But for the majority of shops especially immigrant shops an impersonal conversation is pretty common with the focus being the quality of the cut. I live in the bay area and have been from low end to high end barbershops & salons and it's like that everywhere. Even without the quality conversations that are supposedly a must out here at least it's common for barbers to be scheduled at least a month out
my man!!! this is actually encouraging as an aspiring barber. not everyones nice at the get go like my begginer hands 😂😂👌🏽👌🏽forgot i was in the chair just looking at the end result instead of how blurry the fade is 🤙🏽👌🏽cali love
worrrdddd! It's definitely not an easy task. thought i'd just drop it so even those who are learning how to cut have something higher to aspire to. Much love bro!
I'm a stylist in Houston and I really like your channel. Much love from the H. If you're ever in town let's have a seat at the barber table. PS post the Asian kid roast
The video I needed to hear. I am too focused on cutting hair and cant focus on the client. That’s why i struggle to build a clientele and I want to quit badly. Cant seem to figure it out
I really loved the style of this video. You had you and your friend going ham and then going back to the discussion. Narrative braiding was a great way to explain it. You strive to stay evolving and i dig it, man. Keep it up!
Great video, your so right I've been to a lot of barbers over the years and most of them just focus on the cut not the customer and that actually can make the difference I wish you were here in Columbus.
Man your edits are dope... I am working to get to your level... I am dropping my first Voice over haircut video tonight. I just got serious about uploading every monday. I respect your content can't believe I aint seen you before now. Much Respect one Barber to another.
Keep up the good work bro, I've been watching your TH-cam for a while now and you've help me grow as a beginner barber, I've been cutting since high school but just now taking it serous. Lets keep grinding
Bro! Absolutely love this video! Everything about it, loved when you went into the part where you explained how when you learn how to cut you learn all the technicalities then you just go straight back to the cutting like second nature💯
👍🏼 Thumbs up for video and wanting to hear the story. I’m definitely taking notes coming out of cosmo school and straight into sports clips has been a challenge. This definitely helped on what I need to focus on as far as my client I feel I’ve been skipping that part since I’m so nervous on my technical skills which I know will come in time! 🙌🏼🙏🏼✍🏼
Aye bro thanks for uploading content, I purchased your training course and it is awesome! You are so well spoken and you show passion into teaching. I do have one question how do you handle children not wanting to be still while giving a haircut? Thanks in advance.
Wow. “They’re all just phrases.” I have changed my mindset completely. Nothing more, noting less. I aspire to go to barber college in about a year or two but I’ve prepared myself with visual aids such as your video(s) and appreciate them all. Thank you✊🏼
Great question. I'll probably need to do another video to fully flesh that out. but overall i knew what I wanted. I could work in a salon, but it's not the work I want to do right now. Doing a fade, and a line up is completely different work than a round layer, with highlights and a blow dry. lol. The work is longer and not as fulfilling. on top of that it's women dominated, I desired a different atmosphere
Agreed but some clients aren't very talkative lol and rather not talk. I have a regular that just doesn't like to talk much but he comes in every 2 weeks
"Greatest video up to date if you watching up to you, definitely up to you. Definitely greatest video to date but definitely up to you." Much love from 🇨🇦 man. Impact over income 👍🏽
@@KevvThaw🐎 It took me more tries than I'd like to admit to directly quote you 😂 On a serious note, your message speaks volumes. For someone who doesn't have that 6 years under his belt, I got caught up in studying the technical side of the barbering, of becoming that fade master. I lost sight of why I wanted to be a barber in the first place. This video was a dope reminder. ✊🏽
What up notification squad!!! Dope you guys keep coming back at every drop man!
Forgot to post the intro 🙃. "The Barber's Journey Ep. 31 Feb. 13,2019"
The Barber's Table I love your videos! As a new barber,you and so many others inspire me to keep reaching keep going and growing 🙏🏼👊🏼 Thank You
Honestly, I believe this is one of your best videos yet. You really touched on the important things that a lot of people and even barbers don’t care or even think of doing.

Very good video can relate can understand why you are such a successful barber
I know these are old vids but I’m glad I ran across it brother I’m hoping to get into barber school real soon jusy trying to lay the ground work
You know your stuff to the T! I’ve been watching a bunch of your videos. Def My favorite barber channel
This definitely needs to be said a lot more Kev, people have it twisted. personality and interacting with the customer is way more important than trying to achieve the cleanest fade ever. I’ve been learning this side of customer service myself.
Yea money has people confused. They focused on the money and forget the person who gives it to them. The service is all that matters.
Brother....You really hit the nail on the head with your philosophy about barbers. Most barbers are cluless on customer service, evolution in skills, communication and overall kindness.

30 yrs under my belt as a barber, & i can tell u, u sir are a Very WISE man! great video, thanx & god bless dude
The advice you are giving about how you treat your clients... It shows in your video work. You treat your subscribers just like you treat your clients. Great job
This is the video I been looking for, been watching you since I first started cutting hair, now I’m at a shop figuring out ways to better my craft.
8:04 Although I stopped going to the barbers because I found haircuts inconsistent I agree with this point, especially with Black barbershops I went to. It wasn't even just being good, it was being expected to be a certain way.
ATTITUDE is the most important trait for all services. Right on brother!
This is so true im a big believer of the very thing you spoke about. Building a relationship and creating clients into friends
I just wanna mention that you take the time to make these videos look “quality” stepping out in cold weather to record the outside of the shop...passionate barber
Haha, gotta get the detailed shots. Dope you noticed that. I don't get much comments soon people who notice those things. lol
Glad to hear another brother went to cosmetology school! It takes the crown over regular barber school
👏👏👏 FULL SCOPE!
Massive help! Great content covered and still relevant 2 years later
Great great video! My wife and I own a beauty and barber shop. I naturally do these things your talking about with clients and they love it they love the experience.

First time watching your videos and as a young barber.. this is the best barbering video I've ever watched. Preach brotha
i could sit and watch all ur vids for hours, pure gold man
quentin aye appreciate that my man 🙏🏾
As an up and coming barber I really learned alot thru this vedio thanks for the knowledge and wisdom
I'm glad. I wasn't sure if this was too much for someone really trying to learn a fade or something.
Bro... So much was incorporated into this one video that was so important like you don't even understand💯💈
Mannn, appreciate you bro. Been working on trying be more diverse on this channel
🤯...I’m just gonna pause for a moment....................BRO!!!! The info on this joint right here! This is exactly why I chose to go hard. It’s about how you make someone feel!

This definitely helped on what I need to focus on as far as my client I feel I’ve been skipping that part since I’m so nervous on my technical skills which I know will come in time! 🙌🏼🙏🏼✍🏼

Great message such a lift me up moment thanks bro
Thanks man. Glad it did something for you bro!
Valuable information...take heed barbers & some ole school Barbers
how do you get your hair like that? what's your method?
Loved the video g. Good stuff very encouraging advice too man.
Man, this is one hell of a video!
I’m a senior about to graduate high school in a week, and I’ve been thinking about going to this barber school over the summer, good choice?
I love how you just catfished us with the lil home studio then popped out with the whole shop👏🏻😭
This is one of your best videos to date!!! ❤️❤️❤️ good job babe
Broski! You gave such good advise. Thank you. 🙏🏻
Thanks brodie! it's no problem. appreciate you watching!
Good video and keep going I thought you stop using your house for Barbering
malcolm daniels appreciate you man. And yea I don’t advertise it to clients anymore. Just family.
Aye bro thanks for uploading content, I purchased your training course and it is awesome! You are so well spoken and you show passion into teaching. I do have one question how do you handle children not wanting to be still while giving a haircut? Thanks in advance.

Man, I'm glad youI could help you out there bro. You're very welcome my guy!
Are you still living at home where you used to have your babershop in the basement?
Dropping some knowledge! Thanks for the videos man, they’re very helpful and informative.
Thanks for watching man! appreciate the love, glad I could help you out a bit!
You continue to inspire me bro! Thanks for your hard work 👍🙏💈
Man that's amazing. Glad I can do that for you. Appreciate you watching bro!
Kevin! Where you at bro?! We all been missing you!
Love your videos dude!
Quality content, my favorite TH-camr and mentor, stay blessed 👍🏻
And that first guy you cut is hilarious and brings a great vibe lmao he needs to be on here more
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥got dis on repeat refocus every morning‼️‼️‼️
Dropped some gems in this one 👌
Appreciate that bro, just trying to provide value out here 🙏🏾
Still love how deep you go in this one💯
This video is amazing, thank you
All the books 💯👑🔥
What made you want to be in a barber shop rather that being in a salon or having a suite
Great question. I'll probably need to do another video to fully flesh that out. but overall i knew what I wanted. I could work in a salon, but it's not the work I want to do right now. Doing a fade, and a line up is completely different work than a round layer, with highlights and a blow dry. lol. The work is longer and not as fulfilling. on top of that it's women dominated, I desired a different atmosphere
Where did you get the cape brotha
Agreed but some clients aren't very talkative lol and rather not talk. I have a regular that just doesn't like to talk much but he comes in every 2 weeks
Appreciate those gems bro!👌🏾
Loving the quality of your video
Ayeee glad you like it bro!
"Greatest video up to date if you watching up to you, definitely up to you. Definitely greatest video to date but definitely up to you."

Bro I have absolutely had clients tip me twice the price of a cut as like a farewell gift or something
Hi kevv thanks for dropping the knowledge bro. Let's bring it up to the next level barber service. 🔥🔥💈💈
Aye Miguel! appreciate you my guy. Let's do this thing bro!
Great video and value! I just subscribed!
Big thumbs up as always. Particularly liked this video. You know we want to hear what's up with that bad review on the Asian cut...
What type of camera do you use

ths was amazing bro good stuff keep it up!
Thanks brodie, definitely will 💪🏾
Someone put me on game ! What happened to his vocal chords ? Much love
