Is this a good price for a replacement blade? - Amazon product ASIN B001EY5GNW

 

[DCAllAfrican]

I wouldn't recommend them honestly, but if you're on a budget as most of are then go ahead. 


If you have extra cash, then I'd go for these:http://www.sallybeauty.com/clipper-trimmer/SBS-785340,default,pd.html?cm_vc=SEARCH
Something similar. 
These are better for knocking down hair as opposed to those Speed Masters.

Found it for $53 on Amazon

Looks like a high fade with nothing taken off the top

Is there such thing as a 3 2 1 fade? i read it on google. I want some noticable fades on teh side and back, but the bottom is number one.

 

[mackmittenzz]

I use andis fade masters for my taper, and outliner II for my line up. I think t outliners worked a little better, but they get hot hella fast, I use them both, though.

I don't honestly... 
It's a common issue, my problem with using that same blade on someone else that you used on other's is possible blood contamination. 
I don't know what my clients do outside my chair. 
Sleep with X amount of girls, do drugs with needles, going in raw, etc... 
AIDS is always the number 1 thing on my mind, as well as other STD's.  


Edit: I know plent of places that charge $5 for 100 blades! 
No sense in saying they need to be charged for using a new blade! 
Things are worth like 50 cents! 

What kind of dirt bag barbers do u people go to?

First off, those blades aren't meant to be used over and over. They're disposable.
Secondly, your not supposed to use them on someone else because it could be blood contaminated.
Those razors cost nothing. If your barber is charging you anything extra for the blades your getting robbed. And if he's using the same blade and your allowing him your out of your mind.



I just found out I passed my ny barber exam. I am now a master barber

Serious question! What kind of shampoo and conditioner do barbers used? Any recommendation, I don't want any cheap shampoo bought from like Target, Walgreens, etc. Something more organic and natural, less chemical.

My barber said there would be more than half of my hair left after her cut but it looks to be a lot shorter than that.

I asked for a caesar and shape up but not to take too much hair off. Had like 2-2.5 inches of hair and now its probably less than 1 inch.

He used some yellow clippers. What number clipper should I ask him to use next time to make sure he doesnt take too much off? Or should I ask him to just use the scissors?

Thanks.

When you guys were discussing about barbers changing their blades...

Are you talking about the blades for the trimmers/clippers or like a straight razor?

 

[shogun]

^
For the trimmer and clipper blades they just spray that disinfectant spray on it. Those blades are expensive so they're not switching them out for every customer.

 

[Naruto]

what are the types of lineups? I've seen a lot of different kinds. Don't know what to tell barber

 

[samsdamann]
