Such a good quote, and it’s the truth. We can all be confident in what we do well, but we are all human...we make mistakes. Whether it be in our professional lives or our personal lives. It’s not always about the situation itself, but about how we handle a situation. Do we use it to grow on a positive and constructive way, or do we let I drag us down and dwell on the fact that we made that mistake? When we do things well, how do we react to that fact? Are we appreciative of the knowledge that’s been passed down so that we can grow ourselves to do this skill well, or do we get cocky about it as if we were born with the skill? It’s all about action and reaction, cause and effect. Stay humble, stay hungry, dream big, work your ass off, and don’t give a fuck about other people’s opinions of yourself. #hairstylist #masterbarber #barber #baltimorebarber #redkenbarber #cosmetology #womenshair #menshair #fashion #educator #redken #redkenobsessed #redkenelite #samvilla #samvillahair @samvillahair #redkenspecialist @redken #redkenready #redkenartist #redkencertifiedhaircolorist #learnearnlivebetter #redkentribe #redkenartistcc @brewsandbarbers #redkenbrews @barbershopconnect @baltimoresbesthair #wordsofwisdom #motivation #stayhumble #stayhungry #eatsleepconquerrepeat

Every haircut has a beginning, middle, and end result. The steps you take in between are vital, especially when getting close to the scalp. Skin fades can be one of the absolute HARDEST and most technically challenging haircuts to execute. The attention to detail must be at 100% to create a perfect skin fade. It's taken me years to get to where I am, watching individuals like @staygold31 @justinthomashair and @andrewdoeshair and I am so fortunate to be able to pass down tricks I've learned from taking chances, trial and error, and constantly learning, down to the individuals at @tspadc so that they can BEGIN their careers at the top of their game, and not have to dig through the trenches like many of us have.

Haircutting isn't about diagrams or charting out your work. Create your end result based on visuality, don't assume that the hair will follow what your clippers or shears are doing simply because this chart says to used a certain length at a certain point. Use your eye, hair has growth patterns, darker spots, lighter spots, and many other variables that make every haircut unique to create on every head of hair. Even if I'm cutting the same haircut on the same client, it may be a different routine depending on how the hair is laying or reacting in the moment. I was always told in school, use your eye, don't rely on the numbers! I understand what they're trying to get across with this, but I believe that it is deceiving to oversimplify a haircut like this. I'm not knocking the dude for the haircut, because it's on point. I just don't agree with the visualization. #hairstylist #barber #menshair #mensfashion #21090 #baltimorehairstylist #fashion #summitsalon #redken #redkenobsessed #baltimore #wemakeitvivid #vividsalon #redkenelite #redkenelitesalon #cosmetology #samvilla #samvillahair @samvillahair #redkenspecialist @redken #redkenready #redkenartist # #redkencertifiedhaircolorist #learnearnlivebetter #redkentribe #redkenartistcc #redkenbarber #redkenformen
