This is the most beginner friendly tutorial for your classic gents cut, and covers all your essential techniques beginner barbers will learn and apply in barber school. I've started out doing cuts in schools and am doing these kinds of cuts mostly, so this video was really helpful. Your method is pretty much identical to how I am being taught too!

I did a men's haircut for the first time - on my husband from very long to short hair and....it wasn't a fail 😃. I am so happy for your tutorial. Thank you👍

I have been a stylist for over 30 years. I have paid for classes that were less thorough than this. To make cutting the nape easier, I ask my client to uncross their legs, push their butt to the back of the chair and bring their chin to their chest. I’m trying to get an easier fade mastered so I have more of your videos to watch. Thank you.

It feels like I am watching a bob ross tutorial with the amout of care you put into this explanations. What you are doing is not a mere trade but real art.

I’ve been cutting my kids hair for the last 18 years, I have 3 boys and a girl. I’m pretty good now, but this would have saved me so much time in the early days! It was also so enjoyable to listen you your voice, love your accent!

I'm a Brazilian and new to the profession, your vídeos are an inspiration for those who want to learn, didactic and easy to understand.
TKS.

I just cut my son's hair using this video as guidance and it looks great. Thanks so much for this easy to follow gents haircut. I'm really happy with the results 😅

Absolutely one the very best videos online for a regular mens HC. To the point, exceptionally educational and helpful. Most videos on social media are on skin fades which is the current popular cut especially for younger, active gents. However, the regular cut will always be timeless and is the ‘go to’ when you consider a wider age range. Thank you for all you do. You’re a classy gentleman much appreciated! Greetings from San Diego, CA.

I have viewed so many but failed to catch it, your illustration is so clear and easy to understand. Thank you!

[justineamezquita]

Hands down one of the most informative barbering tutorials!

[keving]

Thank you. You are the best. When covid started and all of the shops closed I discovered your channel, bought a $60 clipper and have not been to a barber since. Who knew cutting hair could be so easy, thanks to a great teacher. After several years my wife asked me to cut her hair. She said it was better than some of the pros that she had paid big bucks. They tended to always cut it shorter than she had requested. I also convinced her to let her beautiful silver hair to go natural.

Your instruction is very clear, understandable and helpful. Thank you a lot.

Hello 👋. Thank you for making the Gentleman’s hair cut simple. For us beginners. I have the tendency to go up to high. And than I get lost at the top. Also I have a bit of difficulty with the taper cut. Thank you. 🙏

[thebigredbutton]

Great tutorial for me. I was a barber decades ago and this cut is exactly what my son wants me to do! I haven’t cut anyone other than my family’s hair for over 30 years.😊

[cyndiveach]

Thank you! I've got a couple of little guys that need hair cuts and I just wasn't real confident with the clippers and the difference. I like the 2.5 and it help so much to show how/where you stop clipping! Excellent!

[frankmontez]

Yeah been trying to find how to get a 1.5 and you’re the first one to explain simply put on a 1 then open it with lever to get 1.5. Thank so much

[ashybubble]

Absolutely great video, well done. Probably the best and most informative one I’ve seen

[liamrafferty]

I have cutting experience but haven’t cut hair since 2020 (never qualified) have to cut a friends hair for him and this has reminded me of all the little things I’ve forgotten in the last 3 years of not doing it. Thankyou for this 15 min video. Better than any course could teach you in this time
