i'm a barber in vancouver, canada, been out of barber school for almost a year. yesterday at the shop i had a pretty shit day, felt like i kinda got worse somehow, wasn't too pleased with any of my cuts to be honest. i felt a bit better today but still havin a bad day. watching this has most definitely inspired me as well as given me some pointers. thank you so so much for this video and i can't wait to get back into the shop tomorrow and use some new found knowledge thanks to you. keep up the good work!
Good for you man and I'm thrilled my vid has helped you to shake off the barber blues!! I get it sometimes too man and I've been cutting for 30yrs. Don't let it get you down and keep the passion going bro!!
After wathcing about 100 haircutting videos on TH-cam, this is by far my favorite video! I've now made it my goal to master the fade without any guards just like you! Please teach me!!
You're an inspiration boy! I'm hustling for an apprenticeship in little ol' Gore, NZ ... the struggle is real. No guards ... awesome. Can't wait to see future tutorials 👊
I would love step by step videos on your clipper over comb method and just overall approach when doing haircuts. I've just started learning to cut hair about six months ago and I'm tired of using the plastic guards and want to learn a more traditional way of going about it.
Wow! A real barber with both hands! So envy. I am lefty, and literally can't hold anything (when I work) with my right hand. LOL. Greetings from Venezuela. You've got a subscriber here. Pretty great techniques.👏🏼👏🏼
It's great to see a true talent at work.. love your technique some barbers can't manage that type of finish with clipper guards let alone using clipper over comb. Loving your work 👍
I sub coz u hook me so bad! The skill The cut The technique The speed The precission The sound Everything was so perfect!! U r a master!!! I wish i can reach dat level. I am a new barber from philippines.
What happened to the right/left handed video you were going to do. Great inspiration that made me try clipper over comb more, now I do it on every cut. Thank you
I am learning about barbering and work in Barber shop in Brisbane but never see YOUR clippers over comb( my barber shop never do this) . I always search new skills from You Tube. Thanks for your job.
Cheers man, what you see in the video is the standard way that we work in my shop, i train all my apprentices this way. It's hard going but really rewarding! Thanks for watching man and good luck
I've been watching this video over and over for one year now, since I started as a barber myself. I just have one wish, that you would make a step by step tutorial on your technique. But it will probably not happen, this video is already 5 years old. That's so sad. Hope you still do it though, Terry! Would make my week!
Wow! A real barber with both hands involved! I'm lefty and I can't literally hold anything with my right hand (when I working) ha ha. Greetings from Venezuela. You've got a new subscriber here. Great job. 👏🏼👏🏼
Dude please keep the videos Rollin'! This is such an inspiration and the shop is just stallar!! Love the vibe man keep it up!! I'm a barber in training hoping to own my own shop by 19 years old!! Would love to keep in touch! I'm going to start trying that right hand left hand clipper over comb variation for my next cuts! Thanks again
Hey Jed, just starting to plan next video now which will be a step by step tutorial for left & right hand clipper overcomb, a bit from me and then you'll see me working with my apprentices. This vid will have a lot of really good info so stay tuned and cheers for checking us out!
+Chris Terry oh and one more thing, what name would you give this kind of fade in the vid? There seems to be much more of a demand for that classic pompadour style lately with that specific fade that compliments it so well
Prohibition fade with pompadour would best describe it. Most people should understand that, crazy ass dudes making moonshine and shooting shit with a mean haircut!
Fu**en Sick style! Love it! I've been cutting for almost a year and all the vids I've seen on youtube are using a clipper guard system. I almost always use clipper/scissor over comb towards the end of my cuts, but this has inspired me to go all out with clipper over comb. Thank you for the vid. Great work on the video editing/cut!
hi great video! Good shots of the clipper over combing. Had a question- I was wondering why you did the initial vertical sections when you went through with horizontal sections after that. Thanks!
Hey man, glad you liked the vid, the reason to cut vertical and horizontal is to cross check the line to make sure the shape is strong. I over direct vertically the extend the shape horizontally to check and remove any scissor marks. Hope that helps dude
Hey Andy, sorry mate, read your question wrong. (I thought you were asking about the top ) Regards to clipper over comb its kinda the same approach, I smash through vertically building the shape up and if needed go through horizontally to strengthen the line of the fade. As you can see in the vid its a very heavy fade, which I like, so it means I can push a bit harder to show a strong contrast. There we go, hope that helps
+Chris Terry no problem, you actually answered my question with your first response, though I am still a little confused- will the initial vertical sections around 8 minutes kind of make the shape look like an upside down V, but then when you do horizontal sections around 14 minutes, it almost seems like it's flattening out the top. Are you mainly setting the length with the first vertical pass to not go too short, then setting the shape by going horizontally? Later around 15 minutes I get that you're cross checking the horizontal sections and cutting any corners that might be there
Hey Andy, at the 8min mark I'm taking the length shorter from back to the front horizontally to keep length at the front to set the shape up. The vertical sections I connect the length from exterior guide to square up the top. I overdirect the front towards the shorter length around the crown to give me a pomp affect. How's that?
i watched this video like more than 10 times , Please teach us the art ! i mess up the back when connecting right and left side in the middle with clipper over comb , i dont knw what i do wrong but i get a bald kinda spot in the back.
Hey man, the best way to avoid that is to work your way from the first side you start with to the back and actually complete most of the back then. Then work the other side to the completed length at the back. You'll notice when I start with the left side I finish at the back ( about 3.33min into timer) I've pretty much got the back done, then work the right side to that shape. Try that and see how you go. I'm always conscious of leaving a bald patch too so I tend to leave a bit more length at the back just in case then take it shorter if need be. Glad you liked the vid man and keep practicing bro! Hope that helps!
Thanks man for taking time and to explain it in detail , this information has surely helped me to understand the technique better. Please do make more videos they are really educational.
Hey man, I'm not trying to make any excuses but my shop has been so busy I just haven't been able to make the time for another vid. I'm building a house also which is a huge challenge in itself. I have plans for a flat top video and am looking for a model as we speak. Hang in there brother and thanks for getting in touch, gotta go......!
That was one of the best videos I've seen!! that was some great works. I'm just getting into Barbering I would be stoked it I was able to learn that skill!! That was a good bit off fun... Were are is your shop located? Thank for the video.... cheers
you going to do any more videos? Would you be a be able to share with me some helpful tips on how to start using the right hand, left hand technic. What to look for while applying this skill? Also fading? How would I go about fading? What are my do and don't? what is it that I'm looking for in the angle of my comb? Sorry for all the questions? But I would really like to now this skill..... I've never cut a head of hair in my like and going into Barbering school soon. Coming from a treads background ( Electrical, Carpenter ) I can see that is the skill that sets you apart from the rest. So I figured get the hard stuff over with first...... Cheers Brother.
Hey Levi, the firs thing you need to do to get good at clipper over comb is to get good at scissor over comb. Scissor over comb is an incredible skill to master and builds up the small muscles in your hands making it easier to master clipper over comb. There's a lot of small things happening all at once when doing clipper over comb man and quite difficult to put into words. I think I'll make a short step by step vid soon so you can see for yourself. Stay tuned...
+1 timedime Hi there, yes the sides do show a heavy line. Personally I like a heavier line on an old skool look like this, it gives the sides more contrast and grows out better especially towards the 5th and 6th week after being cut. As the cut grows out it presents itself like a greaser which is great for the customer and us because the cut is still on point. Also we did shoot the vid on a higher contrast than usual so darker colours like the weight line appear slightly heavier than they are. I think it's cool, thanks for checking it out and stay tuned for our upcoming tutorial vid!
+Armando Martinez jr. Hey man, the guy with the glasses is me, haircut is a simple disconnected slick back with a tight fade. we don't use guards at all in the shop so I can't give you any numbers sorry but I'd say it would start at a half from the bottom faded up. I'm not sure what you mean about the dome? If you're asking about the music it's a local one man band, Stomping Nick & His Blues Grenade. Hope that helps and thanks for checking out the vid bro
+Armando Martinez jr. Yeah man no numbers, old school. I can't quite remember the product on the 'dome', I think it's JS Sloane Caviar Clay ( matt finish ) mixed with a bit Lightweight JS Sloane pomade.
Hey Stephen, I'm just planning next video as we speak man and it will be a step by step tutorial with myself and my apprentices. It will be packed with good info so stay tuned and cheers for checking us out!
Classic work right there - what comb are you using? Initially thought it was a regular Wahl clipper comb but it's not...any pointers would be appreciated
Hey Russ, yeah man Cricket Carbon comb, really fine teeth at one end makes it great for detailing and clipper over comb. Smooth matt finish too so not so plastic feeling, less pulling on the hair. Great comb
thank you very much for your youtube i would like see close up customer head because i am learning cut hair. you are so good and good at barber. thank you very much
Hey man, I don't use detachable blades or guards at all, I was only ever taught to use clipper over comb so it's all i know. If a dude wants a 1 or a 2 all over sure but when i'm fading it's old skull all the way. Thanks for watching and glad you liked the cut!
The music is from a local guy inChristchurch who is a one man band. He goes by "Stomping Nick And His Blues Grenade". Just released his second album. He's on Spotify, maaasive sound for one guy!!
Hey man, sorry I couldn't tell you, I've never used guards for a fade. When I got taught 30yrs ago we weren't allowed to use guards, just the way it was back then. I'd suggest using a combination of full and half sized guards then adjust your bottom blade to pick up any lines. Hope that helps and good luck bro
Straight beast! I wanna get at your level of skill! How did you blend without creating a line with just the clipper? Like after the clipper over come..
+Alfonso Sanchez Hey man, all you do is open up the blade and scoop from the bottom up. The trick is to change the angle you hold the clipper to blend, if you want to go close keep your clipper flat to the scalp, if you want to be soft hold your clipper more towards 90 degree's from the scalp. To blend you have to subtly change your angle between the two. It takes a lot of practice and patience so take your time. Stay smooth and keep your movements fluid. Hope that helps dude
No mate, I'm on the other side of the world so a bit tough for me to get to the states for things like that. One day maybe but too much goin on here man. If you're going have a blast dude!
+Chris Terry yea I can imagine! I know there's a lot of people from outside of the country that Come so I was curious to know if you were. I'm stoked though for it! But yea stay busy that's not a bad problem to have !
Hey Jesse, glad you liked it! I was taught back in 87-88 to use left and right hand. It was just the way we were trained man. 2 main benefits being you are more balanced physically (less likely to get back problems later in your career) and you never stand forward of your customer and get in their personal space. Sadly a skill that isn't taught much any more. I train my apprentices this way and they smash it! Cheers
amazing,ive been a barber here in Canada for 5 years, and i already experience back and shoulder problems on the regular. Im going to start trying this to get some more balance and work the other hemisphere of the brain too. I agree, when cutting the top of the clients hair, i sometimes get in front, and i guess it does cramp their space a little bit. All great points. Good to see awesome craftsmanship. You guys in NZ have excellent training.
Good luck with switching to left hand on the left side bro, here's some tips...Keep your elbows up and even...stand with your feet at shoulder width apart...look down the teeth of the comb to keep your line straight....use the fingers that aren't holding your comb as support by placing them on the scalp....run the clippers over each section at least 3 times to catch all of the hair....take your time.... All these tips are in the video so watch it closely and all the best.
Hey man, glad you liked the vid, the comb I use is a Carbon comb by Cricket, wide teeth at one end and super fine at the other so you can get good tension during clipper overcome. Its really stiff which makes it way easier to push with the clippers. More video's to come soon, keep watching!
Hey man, I find the best way is to hold your comb with your thumb and index finger then use the other 3 fingers to stabilize your hand by touching the scalp with them. It takes a while to get the hang of and you'll need to move your 3 supporting fingers around until you're comfortable but once you find your own way it's all good. Hope that helps
i like how ya cut the top, everytime i try it that way i feel its too short, an in-depth video on how you are cuttin/shaping the top would be kool, thnx bro
Hey Ben, glad you liked it man. I will be doing a tutorial video soon so thanks for the feedback. Increase your angle from the crown out and over direct the length from the front to that line and you should get better results. Hope that helps a bit
The Scissors are Fuji from Excellent Edges in AUS but I'm sure they would be available in other countries. The comb is a Cricket Carbon C30. Thanks for watching!
It's a carbon fiber comb by Cricket. Normally used for combing out long hair in a hair salon. Most suppliers should have something similar. It's very thin and rigid so you can set extra close to the scalp. Hope that helps
That's a shame mate, we have 30min appointments at my shop. I prefer to take my time and treat my staff well so they can enjoy their day and their craft.We charge $50 a cut so we can afford to spend more time on our customers who really appreciate our service. !5min haircuts are fine for a while but when you've been cutting hair for 31yrs like me it's impossible and unhealthy to maintain that pace. Each to their own i guess....
i'm a barber in vancouver, canada, been out of barber school for almost a year. yesterday at the shop i had a pretty shit day, felt like i kinda got worse somehow, wasn't too pleased with any of my cuts to be honest. i felt a bit better today but still havin a bad day. watching this has most definitely inspired me as well as given me some pointers. thank you so so much for this video and i can't wait to get back into the shop tomorrow and use some new found knowledge thanks to you. keep up the good work!

Why did the videos stop? They're great and so unlike most barber shop vids on youtube. I was really looking forward to seeing more.
Hey man, I'm not trying to make any excuses but my shop has been so busy I just haven't been able to make the time for another vid. I'm building a house also which is a huge challenge in itself. I have plans for a flat top video and am looking for a model as we speak. Hang in there brother and thanks for getting in touch, gotta go......!
Great music great haircut but caught the guy checking himself out in the mirror a couple of times 😆! And has every reason to!!

Classic work right there - what comb are you using? Initially thought it was a regular Wahl clipper comb but it's not...any pointers would be appreciated
Just seen that it's a cricket comb - I will have a look see...peace
Hey Russ, yeah man Cricket Carbon comb, really fine teeth at one end makes it great for detailing and clipper over comb. Smooth matt finish too so not so plastic feeling, less pulling on the hair. Great comb
+Chris Terry cheers dude - do you know if it's the C20 or C30?
Not sure, I'll check when I get into the shop and let you know
Comb is a Crickrt Carbon pro, anti static. No numbers on it though man. Hope that helps
One of the best Haircut Video. Schorem like!
+Actortion Thanks man, glad you liked it. More to come...
thank you very much for your youtube
i would like see close up customer head because i am learning cut hair. you are so good and good at barber. thank you very much
great cut and that music rocks
Thank you for an excellent and educational video! Very inspirational, keep them comingg!
Thank you and will do!
Do you ever mess with detachable blade clippers? It seems like you’re not messing with the lever too much anyway. Beautiful technique man.
Hey man, I don't use detachable blades or guards at all, I was only ever taught to use clipper over comb so it's all i know. If a dude wants a 1 or a 2 all over sure but when i'm fading it's old skull all the way. Thanks for watching and glad you liked the cut!
Chris Terry very nice. I’m in school and have slowly abandoned guards because of videos like this.
Music gave me anxiety lol dope cut👍
what COMB do you using for Clipper over Comb ? i really love it , pls tell me , i need to know
It's a Cricket Carbon comb. Very wide, normally used for detangling long hair. Hope that helps
fantastic haircut the music puts me off
Glad you liked the cut and shame the tunes aren't for you, I love em. You could always turn it down and play your own music...cheers
The best video i haven seen! I like it man! Where can i get that comb?
It's a Cricket Carbon C30 comb mate
Chris Terry Ok thank you so much!!
Hi. Your work is very cool.!!!
Nice music! what kind of music is this really like to check it out!
The music is from a local guy inChristchurch who is a one man band. He goes by "Stomping Nick And His Blues Grenade". Just released his second album. He's on Spotify, maaasive sound for one guy!!
Chris Terry
awesome thanks
There is no way I could clipper over comb the sides like that. What guards would I use to get the sides like you just did?
Hey man, sorry I couldn't tell you, I've never used guards for a fade. When I got taught 30yrs ago we weren't allowed to use guards, just the way it was back then. I'd suggest using a combination of full and half sized guards then adjust your bottom blade to pick up any lines. Hope that helps and good luck bro
Excellent job... Well done...
Straight beast! I wanna get at your level of skill! How did you blend without creating a line with just the clipper? Like after the clipper over come..
+Alfonso Sanchez Hey man, all you do is open up the blade and scoop from the bottom up. The trick is to change the angle you hold the clipper to blend, if you want to go close keep your clipper flat to the scalp, if you want to be soft hold your clipper more towards 90 degree's from the scalp. To blend you have to subtly change your angle between the two. It takes a lot of practice and patience so take your time. Stay smooth and keep your movements fluid. Hope that helps dude
+Chris Terry this really helped.. Thanks a lot man!
I am enjoying your techniques.

You gonna be competing at the barber Expo in Hartford, Connecticut USA?
No mate, I'm on the other side of the world so a bit tough for me to get to the states for things like that. One day maybe but too much goin on here man. If you're going have a blast dude!
+Chris Terry yea I can imagine! I know there's a lot of people from outside of the country that Come so I was curious to know if you were. I'm stoked though for it! But yea stay busy that's not a bad problem to have !
Which model Ys park comb is that please?
Hey Gareth, we use Cricket Carbon Fibre combs man, cheers
so rad to see you switching hands, Any reason? Or just multi dextrous :) great vid mate
Hey Jesse, glad you liked it! I was taught back in 87-88 to use left and right hand. It was just the way we were trained man. 2 main benefits being you are more balanced physically (less likely to get back problems later in your career) and you never stand forward of your customer and get in their personal space.
Sadly a skill that isn't taught much any more. I train my apprentices this way and they smash it! Cheers
amazing,ive been a barber here in Canada for 5 years, and i already experience back and shoulder problems on the regular. Im going to start trying this to get some more balance and work the other hemisphere of the brain too. I agree, when cutting the top of the clients hair, i sometimes get in front, and i guess it does cramp their space a little bit. All great points. Good to see awesome craftsmanship. You guys in NZ have excellent training.
Good luck with switching to left hand on the left side bro, here's some tips...Keep your elbows up and even...stand with your feet at shoulder width apart...look down the teeth of the comb to keep your line straight....use the fingers that aren't holding your comb as support by placing them on the scalp....run the clippers over each section at least 3 times to catch all of the hair....take your time.... All these tips are in the video so watch it closely and all the best.
pure quality mate! whats the comb you use?
Hey man, glad you liked the vid, the comb I use is a Carbon comb by Cricket, wide teeth at one end and super fine at the other so you can get good tension during clipper overcome. Its really stiff which makes it way easier to push with the clippers. More video's to come soon, keep watching!
I always have difficulties doing clipper/scissor over comb..any tips? Anway,great job..loved the video
Hey man, I find the best way is to hold your comb with your thumb and index finger then use the other 3 fingers to stabilize your hand by touching the scalp with them. It takes a while to get the hang of and you'll need to move your 3 supporting fingers around until you're comfortable but once you find your own way it's all good. Hope that helps
+Chris Terry thanks man..I appreciate it, I'll try my best
Best Barbers i've ever been too.
Cheers man!

thank you so much mate .. great cut 👌👍👍
amazing comb control :)
i like how ya cut the top, everytime i try it that way i feel its too short, an in-depth video on how you are cuttin/shaping the top would be kool, thnx bro
Hey Ben, glad you liked it man. I will be doing a tutorial video soon so thanks for the feedback. Increase your angle from the crown out and over direct the length from the front to that line and you should get better results. Hope that helps a bit
+Chris Terry thnx for your response man, yeah i've been doin some pretty extreme angles from back to front, i'll definetely keep tryin!!!
Skills like a boss!! More vids! !
Chris where can I purchase that comb and scissors?
The Scissors are Fuji from Excellent Edges in AUS but I'm sure they would be available in other
countries. The comb is a Cricket Carbon C30. Thanks for watching!
WOW I wish you were my barber, its perfect
So Nice ! I Like so much . So many time I watched this video.
Serious skills! Scary good.
+Rich P Thanks man, next vid out soon...!
Your welcome bud. Ill keep an eye out for the next vid. I sub.. Keep them coming please.
thanks for the tips you have great skill
What's the main comb that he's using?
Clipper over comb is a Cricket Carbon C30, scissor cutting a C20
Truly awesome technique and skill... One of my favorites. 🖤🤍🖤
New tutorial video please keep up the great work
Anyone know what type of comb he is using?
It's a carbon fiber comb by Cricket. Normally used for combing out long hair in a hair salon. Most suppliers should have something similar. It's very thin and rigid so you can set extra close to the scalp. Hope that helps
More videos plz, maybe some beard trims as well?
Fantastic!
My job we get 15 minutes to finish a cut max. And we use clipper over comb.
That's a shame mate, we have 30min appointments at my shop. I prefer to take my time and treat my staff well so they can enjoy their day and their craft.We charge $50 a cut so we can afford to spend more time on our customers who really appreciate our service. !5min haircuts are fine for a while but when you've been cutting hair for 31yrs like me it's impossible and unhealthy to maintain that pace. Each to their own i guess....
Classic hair cut
Need more videos please!!
Damm i wish i had a barber that cuts like that.
great great cut man
