I think something that’s really under appreciated is the parting and shear work skills. As a barber myself, I still struggle with those two things and it amazes me how easy Chris Bossio makes it seem lol
@@jovanlee1876 just stack your guards , blend down its the easiest as long as you dont get lost , for example he does 4 closed than 3 open than closed and etc
Love seeing/hearing the consult. I get a LOT of clients who, after the consult say, "Do what you think looks good." He sounded a little like that. I loved the cut and how you worked through it, also the suggestions(and your being transparent). Thank you, for helping me grow.
What's up Bossio! I'm a barber in training and been watching your videos for a while man you give me motivation to keep going. I was on the wrong path and got addicted to opiates, was bad off for 6 years. I had everything from my own car, place, my own home studio with a soundproof booth, went to college for music engineering, and when I graduated I was working with several artists who lead me down the wrong path. I know we all make our own decisions but it was a "you are who you hand around" kind of thing for me. Soon as you know it I became opiates dependant and got bad. Crashed 3 of my cars I owned over a few years, lost my home, my studio equipment and everything else including my grandmother who passed who raised me like her son. I went through alot Chris and told myself enough is enough. I have too much talent to be wasting. Today I'm almost 3 months clean not even a drink. Back to working out too. I don't wanna die Chris😔and I have a 12 year old son who needs me. I decided to throw myself into a 28 day rehab. Then after that I went into another rehab for 5 weeks. Now I'm in a halfway house for the next 3 months and then going to supportive living for 6 months after this. I'm taking all the help I can get because then there no excuses. I look up to you guys, and have been wanting to get into being a barber for the longest. I just bought a Wahl's Home Kit (model 78524) and a straight blade. Nothing big, but it's a start. I can't afford much more than that for the time being so these will do! I uploaded my first 2 haircuts I did this week with the Wahl's to my Google drive and would love for you to give me some feedback bro! Please, any criticism is good criticism. God bless. 1st haircut (mid fade, comb over) drive.google.com/file/d/1-GADsbjjy3Q6P-6rWpQp--sNmxf0-p7f/view?usp=drivesdk 2nd haircut (mid to high fade, comb over) drive.google.com/file/d/1-CT_7r_RNmIaI1Z9jUgma43oOeaXHDMN/view?usp=drivesdk Anyone else thats reading, all feedback and criticism is welcome, pleeeeease!!!! And guys, please like and comment and get this to the top so Chris can see it! I want him to receive credit when it's due, he's influenced me alot!!! Thanks guys
Dope cut. Appreciate showing the scissor work. Nuff barbers showing fades all day and don’t focus much on the shear work. I can do bald fades for days but I struggle with scissors and I feel a lot of barbers on TH-cam do too. Always looking for videos like these to help me get better at my craft. 🔥🔥👍👍
Thanks for the transparency! Def not an easy cut. The blend was nice though 🔥. I feel a lower fade with rounder shape to the cut would compliment him better.
I like to use my feather razor over comb for tough lines like that. This cut came out great though. You’ve come a real long way with your sectioning and shear work. I’ve been picking up lots of things watching your videos. Thanks for the great content.
Chris, even though you were transparent and offered to accept feedback from peers, the AMAZING thing about your cut is this…. You still knew how to cover and make what you thought was a bad cut, still look like an AWESOME Cut. Now that’s skill!!!
Being a barber myself I really do think Chris Bossio is one of the best in the game, from the client consultation to fading & to styling is just a perfect Haircut all around. Appreciate the grind brotha taking tips from you as I grow my barber career 🙏🏽
Think it came out really good I like the cut overall and how you have detail on how to blend where it was disconnected and not afraid of using the sheers
I totally get where you coming from with peer learning. That would be dope. Also the cut did come out pretty fire. Thanks for your humility and transparency
A lot of my clientele ask for cuts like this, a fade while maintaining weight. I have found the methods taught by Schorem (the guys at Reuzel) to work best for this style, but it's always nice to see other methods.
I would use the 14th teeth texturing shears and do short to long pieces where the hair is heavy-leaving longer hair in the front section and shorter in back, or direction in which he styles his hair, this will create more texture and help with styling, and helps hair lay better.
Bro that comment about wishing you could see how another barber would handle that cut is spot on!! Anytime I feel somewhat unsatisfied with the final result I always think how would “insert barber” do this cut? Would it come out the same? Better? Is this the best that can be done or is there areas I could improve on? Personally with this I think it’s very difficult. Because with his hairstyle and texture you want to leave that wavey:/flowy look but at the same time make it look crispy. It’s not curly enough to do a strait undercut where it’s curly on top and a fade on the sides. But If you go with a fade and take away too much bulk on the sides it turn it into more of a pomp and you lose the flow of the hair. I think if you could do a really low bald drop fade and leave more bulk on the side and don’t try and make it too symmetrical on top but instead follow to flow it could keep the integrity/shape while still making it look crispy. That’s just my opinion, I’d love to cut his hair and see if my theory would work. Great video and commentary
Thanks for the videos Chris they really help me learn as a student barber. When you said you wish you could have another barber do the same cut why don't you go on your socials and look for twin models with about same hair I would love to see that video. Once again thanks for the content 🙏
yo Chris Bossio this cut is FIRE bro. seriously we are all imperfect but you make it look so easy even if its not ideal gradation in the beginning , it turns our magnificent! much respect!
As always the cut is clean! I think that little bulk where his C Cup on the left side of his head could’ve been blended a little better. Kinda sticks out when looking at him straight on.
Good transition to the top boss ,I think a bit of razor work on top would have give it a bit of more flow and mobility but it came out great boss you always kill it much love and respect
I would have done it the same way only difference i wouldnt use the 3 and maybe i wouldnt use a 2 either. After the 1.5 i like to clipper over comb because you can stack hair lengths ontop of each other in a tight area really easily and maintain shape at the same time. You can achieve the same thing with guards but i feel its much harder and takes longer.
It appeared the previous "cutter/Barber" wanted no part of his Hair up top!! Lol Shear work is always my favorite part to watch on your videos Bossio. You're always Transparent, especially with the "consultation". You also give good feedback, not just what you want to do. Tough cut
Bro you are soooo good but you stay so humble and still wanna learn! Amazing cut bro keep up the good work! Your vids are inspiring ♥️🙏 makes me wanna cut
Nice cut Bossio! The only thing is, in the consultation, I feel like the client kinda wanted that oldschool curtains undercut, based off how he said 90s DiCaprio. Still a well-executed haircut though, and if the client is happy with the end product, that's all that matters.
Yeah it was confusing since I’ve never seen DiCaprio with a shadow fade, but his fringe could do the curtains if he let his hair fall forward, I explained that in the video when I was connecting the fringe to the baseline
Honestly though I feel that every dam video💀but the cuts come out fire no say their but I just feel like they don’t come in the shop with an actual idea of the haircut they would want or don’t know how to explain it idk who knows but I know what you mean 😭😂
He said 90s leo cut i know what cut it is. My cousin and all his friends have it its longer on the top and a low drop fade or taper they like it bulky. I think thats why its a good idea to do more shear work and methods to get that result. The 90s haircuts are thriving right now and they don't do many fades its wild
do you think you would have been more satisfied with the end result, or felt like the fade would have been blurrier, if you had done a low bald fade rather than shadow?
I think something that’s really under appreciated is the parting and shear work skills. As a barber myself, I still struggle with those two things and it amazes me how easy Chris Bossio makes it seem lol
I find the opposite....I was a hairdresser 1st and smash thru shears but I find fading really hard
been cutting for 3 years and i feel the same
Frfr !
@@jovanlee1876 just stack your guards , blend down its the easiest as long as you dont get lost , for example he does 4 closed than 3 open than closed and etc
My man is from England
The he's from the endz😂 with a capital Z
Ok um and

You got this bro! Keep working and watching videos on the daily. Learn and study all different type of haircuts and hair textures. Stay up bro🙏🏽
🙌💯💪🏿
your a real strong person bro just know that, put god first and he will guide you to success
Your guys' feedback means more than you think to me. Thank you guys so much
Salute for you!💪💪
Hey Chris you're really good at cutting hair, have you ever thought about being a barber?
I love how Chris is even like "ya I had a hard time with this one"
I like how you call it a tough cut but it still comes out looking spectacular!! Your professionalism is amazing!! Great work as always!!
Respect the fact that as good as you are you still are willing to learn from other great barbers. This cut is beyond perfect.
Dope cut. Appreciate showing the scissor work. Nuff barbers showing fades all day and don’t focus much on the shear work. I can do bald fades for days but I struggle with scissors and I feel a lot of barbers on TH-cam do too. Always looking for videos like these to help me get better at my craft. 🔥🔥👍👍
highly recommend Rum Barber for shear work, they’ve got some great in-depth videos
Thanks for the transparency! Def not an easy cut. The blend was nice though 🔥. I feel a lower fade with rounder shape to the cut would compliment him better.
I agree, just a tad bit lower of a fade would have been better. But I am still in awe of the skills Chris has!
@@mimhap no doubt, I def wouldn’t have done as blurry a fade
@@youngvet1993 do you think it was blurry? I just mean it should have come down a little lower, especially on the sides. Otherwise an excellent cut!
@@mimhap oh yeah, his cuts are always blurry
Chris is like the perfect mix of barber and hairdresser/stylist
loving the transparency of this channel man, always real talk and something to learn from. Keep being real bro, we appreciate you!
Man i really learn a lot from you Chris you inspire me so much. Keep teaching us aspiring barbers 🙌

I like how you got in depth with him to ask and manage to get an exact visual of what he wanted.

I respect your honesty. I would've done this cut using block grad but also verticle sections maybe with the length I would've cut the top first.
Think it came out really good I like the cut overall and how you have detail on how to blend where it was disconnected and not afraid of using the sheers
I totally get where you coming from with peer learning. That would be dope. Also the cut did come out pretty fire. Thanks for your humility and transparency
You did really good. This looks like it is a difficult cut. Remaining calm and sticking to your technique paid off.
I wanna get to the point in my career where I can call a cut like this “Not my best work”
Ahhhh, I get what you’re saying. You saying even Chris’s bad work, ends up looking like Good work! I Agree completely!
Bossio you asked how we would’ve done it , I probably would’ve done 3,2,1 taper , machine over comb the rest to the top , that cut fire 🤙🤙
A lot of my clientele ask for cuts like this, a fade while maintaining weight. I have found the methods taught by Schorem (the guys at Reuzel) to work best for this style, but it's always nice to see other methods.
This is such a nice cut, great job man! Always improving and learning, respect.
It came out fire bro. Compressing it like that is still hard for me but it seems at the end we always go up with that four to blend all together.

Such a good cut! You make it look so damn easy haha
yo Chris Bossio this cut is FIRE bro. seriously we are all imperfect but you make it look so easy even if its not ideal gradation in the beginning , it turns our magnificent! much respect!
Now this is the type of haircut I like! Would this be the same as a half (0.5) fade?
Dope dope cut, switched it up on us with the shear work at the end!
Dope turn around. It did look difficult but you cleaned him up good.
That was a unique cut IMO shear work is amazing it made sense cross checking in the back I learned something new 💯💯💯💯💯💯
This is the haircut I've been looking for for a long time
Thanks alot
As always the cut is clean! I think that little bulk where his C Cup on the left side of his head could’ve been blended a little better. Kinda sticks out when looking at him straight on.
Chris this hair cut is perfect!! You did your thang!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Bossio is the truth! In bossio we trust
Excellent cut Chris..... insane blend and scissor work 🤯
the way you shape cuts is on another level, inspiring fr
Uuuuu this one is cleannnn! Love this style! 🔥👏
You nailed it! Looked like difficult canvas and type of cut.
Like how honest u are about how difficult u think the cut is but somehow always come out 🔥🔥🤝
Great cut. Could it be more blurry? I don't think so
Good transition to the top boss ,I think a bit of razor work on top would have give it a bit of more flow and mobility but it came out great boss you always kill it much love and respect
Dude that is an awesome cut ✂️🔥🔥✂️
I like 👍 how honest you are, you needed the vertical section fro real though
You have an amazing mindset bro, really
I would have done it the same way only difference i wouldnt use the 3 and maybe i wouldnt use a 2 either. After the 1.5 i like to clipper over comb because you can stack hair lengths ontop of each other in a tight area really easily and maintain shape at the same time.

Nice cut Bro...I'm a Barber myself, I know quality when I see it...
Bro please make a video on how you gapped them trimmer
Don’t worry too much fam. Your cuts are always 🔥🔥🔥
Love the camera angle for the shear work 🙏🏼
Tommy what is the difference in a blurry fade and a hard fade?

As a beginner in this era late 2021, would you consider JRL as a good set to start with?
This is what we need ! Blow dry Scissor styled cuts 👌✂️✂️

Can you repeat that in English
They trust bossio more than themselves 🤣
This is actually how most consultations go, super realistic to the real world. Ha

Clippers over comb. With a no 3 yard on it bro . Ye would off been good. grate work man . ARTISTS unite.
Great sheer work bossio
Talking about tuff cut for you, you kilt this cut man🔥✔️
You attack it and it look good respect to you
Bro if I have that long hair same as that then I cut my own hair is this same procedure? Cause I missed it up hope you read this
I Woulda cut the top first Bossio, establish ur shape then fade last. Especially when the hair is this long to begin with. Came out nice though!
Clean cut bro we always learning with every cut✔️
Shit raw to me bro. Couldn't be more 90s either so you did him right
Awesome cut!
do you think you would have been more satisfied with the end result, or felt like the fade would have been blurrier, if you had done a low bald fade rather than shadow?
I always like bald fades better so probably.. a low tight fade would’ve been sick
SIR BOSSIO AS ALWAYS VERY NICE HAIRCUT
Cut is straight 🔥
How do you get the light in your Babyliss to stay on the whole time?
