A Barber doing a classic taper cut. So many new Barbers consumed with bald fades in every video. I'm working on my 34th year cutting lots of hair every day. It's good to see something else than bald heads. Great job sir.
So glad for this video! I'm in cosmetology school and they don't teach you men's cuts until you're already on the floor, and all the videos on KZread are disconnected cuts, and fades. My dad's been bugging me to cut his hair and show off what I've been learning at school (everything but men's cuts, basically), and this is his haircut exactly!
Lovely to see a traditional gents cut for a change, I've learned more from these channels than I did in college! Thank you for doing these vids they help us so much 😊
Thank you! Since we can't go to barbers or hairstylists right now, my husband wants me to cut his hair. I'm terrified, and have been combing (ha ha) KZread for videos. This is by far the best, especially, as other commenters have said, I'm not looking for fades or anything fancy. Thanks for the details and helpful commentary!

I just used this video to cut my hubby's hair. It turned out great! Actually, better than some of the haircuts he gets at the barbers. I would like to know how to do a little more of a fade at the neckline. I'll look around to see if there is a video for that.

Amazing to see a real Barber on KZread, yes fades are great but there is nothing like classic barbering and real scissor work, i was trained by Italian Barbers and my passion is old school barbering cant beat it
After watching your video a few times, I gained the confidence to give my husband a haircut. His hair is similar to you client in the video. Thanks a million for your brilliant tutorial!!

After watching this video , I lost all my confidence about giving haircut to my husband tomorrow .
This is the most basic men haircut we learnt at school. We had to do this over and over and over. Old memories raising.
I absolutely love this cut! I am a new stylist and still in school. I am so passionate about these classic cuts. This system makes SO much sense to me. I can't wait to try it out this week!
Wow! Beautiful result. He looks much younger. What a difference!
I am trying to give my husband a hair trimmer, because he still has to go work and he wants to look decent. Because of this Coronavirus he can not go to the barbershop. Thank you so much for your help 👍😁
This is exactly what I needed for guidence in cutting my fathers' hair. My difficulty is blending. He has a wide spectrum of grays on his head. I wish you and yours well ! Thank you very much, Bonnie

Fade is nice but only last for two weeks , after that looks shit , so cost a lot of many and many trips to barber if you want to keep it fresh and sharp

UPDATE... I almost forgot to share how it went. I apologize. It went really amazingly well! I didn’t remembered until I was doing my hubby’s two week touch up. He had me cut his hair again!!! That says a lot!! Especially, when salons are open here in Washington State. I did take an entire hour to accomplish the cut the first round.However, I just made him a strong drink and all was well. We laughed and talked thee entire time. I guess that I said “uh oh” at one point soooo, that wasn’t reassuring for him. I have an entire new respect for anyone in the salon world!! That is coming from someone who has worked in retail for 20years. And I am extremely thankful for my current four years in pest control. Again, that says a lot! My main income is eradicating bed bugs and roaches. Thank you for sharing this technique!!! I wish you all blessings ❤️ Remember, it’s only hair. In two weeks, it literally never happened.❤️😂😂
Well done -- my husband liked what i did with Wahl clippers the first time, and now with this video I have more confidence. Helpful to see the head in 3 sections.
Today I have an old gentleman's haircut!. lol Nothing like being told your archaic before the session begins. Having said that, great cut, this guy knows what he's doing. Props

When COVID hit, I needed to learn how to cut my hubs' hair, and this video is the best tutorial I've found for the style he wants. Easy to follow, easy to do, and looks great - thanks so much!!
That is a BEAUTIFUL, well done haircut! I am trying to learn, so I can cut my father's hair. All the barber shops in New Jersey are shut down due to COVID-19, and he hasn't had his hair done in two months. He looks a wreck. Thank you for this, MC Barber.
Thank you for your patience and wisdom my compatriot. You have a gift not only for this art form, but also for instructing others so they can elevate themselves along side of yourself. A great way to live, I envy you and aspire to help others too once I reach a level that will just become a flow one day. This cut right here is the example I need to help level up. I love this cut for my demographic, even younger folks now want longer hair tapered. After viewing your instruction here I was able to give a mostly scissor cut at a park on a bench, while finishing up I had my cordless and tapered buzzer over comb. It came out brilliantly! Best to you and your future endeavors. Looking forward to more... Cheers. Robert M. - CelebratedRazorworks
Hey man! Greetings from Poland but I'm Ukrainian =) You know, I just wanna thank you for you channel =) Please, keep going! I have 5 years of experience but often I find out from you something new for me. Now I started to use razor for my cuts on the top and my clients are happy =)Thanks to you now I'm waiting for a clipper from the U.S. like you have with detachable blades , because I can see how good it cuts and finally I`m gonna have less cables around my work place =) Every evening after work I`m buying some food and beer ,coming home and checking, if you have something new , so keep going =) now you changing look not only of your clients but mine also ;)

vvv2k12 When he said "less cables" (I'm thinking he means clipper cords), therefore, the clippers he's referring to are probably cordless clippers. And yes the voltage in many European countries use 240v compared to 120v in the USA.

Cлишком много у него ненужных манипуляций, всё тоже самое можно сделать используя лишь ножницы или клиппер, 8-10 минут и стрижка готова.

MC shows you how to give a excellent balanced haircut. It is hard to find a good barber today. I gave up the trade of cutting hair after 4-5 years. I decided it was too much for me standing all day etc. MC is truly a master barber. Anthony Joseph Lucchese

Much better than those women cutting men’s hair. Those videos are full of comments that ladies gained confidence in cutting their hubby's hair. Your video is a real men's cut.
Superb barbering. I live in Scotland and I wish I could find a barber like you. I am 65 and I need a barber that actually listens to me! My last haircut was November and I am still growing out the neck taper that I didn’t ask for. I don’t intend to get another haircut until April and I reckon by then it will be back to where I started. Just because a guy goes to a barber it doesn’t mean he wants to come out looking like he is going to fight in WW1 trenches!
Yes! Thank you for doing something besides short fades and low guards! Excellent video
Thank you so much for this. I need to cut my dad’s hair. He’s 90!
A true gentleman's haircut. Well done
Beautiful! Technical and gentle looking touch. I learned so much from this thank you.
95% of my clients are older man!! I love it and love their stories.
Exactly the way I cut in the salon ..Glad to see I'm doing it right after all these years. Haha...Don't even have to see the guide..as long as fingers connect to the head that determines eveness as long as sections are not too wide..Even do this cut clipper over comb..Different technique s keep me from being bored doing 20 - 30 cuts everyday..and there's more than one way to skin a cat and get the same results..
Very nice! Thank you, now I can properly cut my dads hair. 😊
Nice work! I cut hair on my guy in May 2020 during COVID. I did not know haw to do the back and sides very well so I left them long. Now I see how you did it. I have those Wahl trimmers so I will try those next time. Thank you. Your are a professional!! My guy likes it a little higher and tighter in the back.
Best Barber, Best Teacher. Greetings from Valencia, España.
I just gave my pops a cut and it turned out better than expected. Nice techniques.
I thought it was the best cut for the men, very nice. And the guy was professional doing what he did best. The barber did it the way he felt he thought it should be done. Still professional. Great job, kudos to you
The greatest that’s ever done it 💪🏽 great work
Ok since the self quarantine is causing my husband to look like Sasquatch, I'm going to give this a try. Wish me luck.

1of NOT very meny WELL ROUNDED barbers....Great work as usual and thats coming frm a dude tht knows!!!!!
This is the most popular cut i do every day in my shop. My clientel is mostly older gentle men but do have a lot of fades that come in too. I dont do much blocking in the back. I think a nice taper with this type of style looks better and as i tell my clients, with a taper instead of blocking you dont notice it as much as it grows out.
Because of Covid, my husband wanted me to cut his hair. I can’t count the number of times I have watched this video. Now my husband likes this haircut the best and will not go back to a barber. 🤷♀️
Please keep the videos coming for older gentlemen. Self-cut videos and clipper cuts are helpful.
The best barber in the word!
Perfect video for me. This is exactly what I was looking for.
Gino you've really outdone yourself this time
terrifically clear and instructional video. Fantastic haircut.
Cheer up man, you look great with this lovely haircut. Tomorrow I am giving a go on my husband haircut. Never realised how more complicated is to cut man hair, than ladies hair. Thanks for tuition.
My husband has poker straight thick hair. No barber shops open. He needs a cut. He is worried as he just saw what I did to the dog. Lol.

Thank you for this. I said I'd never cut hair again after my mum persuaded me and it looked terrible. My DH's hair was so long he was beginning to resemble James May. Anyway his hair looks so much better now so ta v much. I'm going to buy some better scissors as I cut with the only pointy pair I could find which weren't particularly sharp.

I have to cut my pastors hair tonight. Thank you for this video...!!!! I appreciate it!
Thank you for this tutorial. Your higher paying customers want this - not a fade or pompadour. I especially liked the finish with the comb and edger; never seen It done that way.
this is a real men's haircut, mine would have taken 5 mins, this looks way better. thanks
I wish you were closer MC... Youre awesome... Much love always
Can you do more classic men's cuts. You are like one of the only barbers who can, most KZread so called barbers are one trick ponies and can only do fades. Thx MC
Excellent. Ur the man. Love ur videos. Hello from Canada
Nice cut and technique👌🏼
Thanks with your help I've created a new hairstyle, I call it : The hills have eyes look
I am doing the exact same step by step way of cutting the hair of my older clientele, who have thinner and damaged hair.
Beautiful cut. Thanks so much for this tutorial. Going to try it on my husband. Can't stand the raggy look in this Covid time.
Exelente corte amigo
This is basically the cut i do everyday, still do fades occasionally. Just an old fashioned barber shop. I would have tapered the back up a little more though.
great job thanks have fun
This is just what I needed. Thank you!
Finally!! I swear KZread barbers just know how to do bald fades. I was disappointed when he started using gaurds tho.... 😔
That looks amazing!
Thank you Ive learned a lot from your videos thank you
Hey thank you for your videos, i really appreciate the time you put into them. i have learned a lot of from them! so i just wanna say a quick thank you!

where i live so many barbers hate doing old school hair cuts because they take longer to cut and are harder to do well. they much prefer short back and sides, fades and wot not as they are a lot quicker and easier.
Also may I ask what clipper you're using to do the outlining?
