Watching this in 2023, wanna congratulate you on the incredible weight loss transformation! Looking great brother.

At the risk of sounding cliche, when I watch Dan cutting hair I see an artist.

I can not believe than Dan used to be that "out of shape". He looks like Joey Fatone. 😂 But now, he's like the sexiest man in Universe!! Good for him!! 😊

From dorky to GORGEOUS hair! Who knew there was a GQ under that mop? Excellent patience and excellent haircut!

I can tell he was happy with the hair style you gave him and it was such a great hair style you did. He has beautiful hair and you managed to make it even better.

You are a miracle worker!✂️

Lol this is the first time I’ve ever seen Dan annoyed 😂 rightfully so. Wow…patience was more than a virtue on this cut. Well done.

This is what sets Dan so far apart from others in his profession - he actually listens to what the client wants and responds with good advice as to how achievable or suitable the style may be. Of course being so skillful with scissors and a razor helps too!

After watching more than a few of Dan’s videos now, old and new, I realize this guy is an actual hair “artist “ not just a title on a business card, his advice is invaluable… I have no idea what the hell I’ve been paying for, but it certainly isn’t this type of service! Ugh.

A professional indeed.... Very patient & knowledge!! I wish all stylist were like that....😊

Apart from the powerful fastidiousness of this client, I’ve been surprised just how precise a lot of Dan’s clients are about their hair and looks in general. Many of us women simply grab a picture from the internet or a magazine, or know we want a fringe (bangs) or a particular colour. Maybe we’re more easily pleased! Who’d a thought it?!😊

The haircut reminds me of the 90s teenage heartthrobs... Nostalgic.

I had to skip through it , it brought back memories of working as a barber I’d rather forget 😂

This is why you should have a photo of what you like for a complex haircut.

He’s just giving him an outline of what he wants but he’s still telling him to do what he thinks, taking in consideration of what he wants . He said to do what ever he wants. I don’t think he was that fussy or difficult.

Wow. Dan you are so gifted on helping get the right hair cut. This was overwhelming to me. Sometimes the customer does not explain what they want very well. In this case. Great job.

Dan is such a patient professional. this client was annoyingly critical but, still, Dan just proceeded to do his job. Incredible.

A particularly "fussy" client just adds to the fun, not having some robot just sitting there putting on an act to please everyone, except himself, it is his hair (and money) after all. Another job well done 👍

Thank you so much. That’s the point of these videos to show a wide variety of people and interactions. Ariel travelled all the way from the US to UK for this so it’s normal to want to make it the best. We appreciated him being “fussy” as it made for a great video. The most important thing to us is he may have been “fussy” but he was never rude and always polite. Nothing wrong with that for us. Whether you’re quiet, loud, fussy, don’t care. As long as you’re polite and kind that’ll do for us. Obviously it’s important that we have our own timings and are in control of that so we can take as long as we want, but it was a pleasure to have Ariel in! Would be fun to have him come back in and see how it’s developed! ❤️

Dan is an absolute magician! His professionalism and ability to work with any client shows his level of skill and amount of time he’s put into his craft. Love watching your videos Dan!

Dan is dropping so much knowledge, I've been to a lot of the barber academies and non of them know this stuff, like the pro and cons of cutting into a part, face shape etc. Bravo man

Lol at the barbers in the comments being annoyed that someone comes to them for a service and asks for something particular. I'm confused, isn't that why we pay you for a cut? Otherwise wouldn't we just buzz a 0 all over at home? If a customer being fussy rubs you the wrong way, you're probably in the wrong profession. Take notes on how this guy handles his fussy customer, polite and not so fast to knock him down, he has an idea and he might not be educated enough to explain it but he still knows what he wants, and in the end actually received exactly what he wanted BECAUSE he was fussy. The "too fussy for me" comments are just one example of why you're probably struggling to keep regular punters and highly likely doing "mid fades with short on top" all day long.

What a great cut, after such a long and involved consultation. And you were so good at explaining to your client what you were doing throughout the execution of the cut, Dan. You kept him reassured and comfortable throughout the process and he was so pleased at the end. Bravo!

he sounds like 80% of my clients i have lmao, glad you killed it yet again! you guided him through it quite well.

I experience the same thing as this guy. I’ll get a good haircut from someone & then when I go back, they can’t recreate it even with a picture of what they did the previous time. It’s very very irritating & frustrating.

It is a mystery, repeated around the world. You think, finally a good haircut. Sadly "a" is the operative word. That cut seems elusive thereafter.

I'm hoping one day i can get to sit in the Regal Gentleman chair and experience this myself. I've always held on to my long hair, however i'd be willing to let get of it seeing how knowledgeable Dan really is and how much he cares about the end result and the fact you leave happy with your new haircut.

really like the detail in the chapters of the video! super helpful and great for viewers

Holy God! Dan, my applause to such a master. Very difficult client + difficult haircut, which is even difficult for understanding. High class, absolutely fantastic job.

Watching you work with shears is literal art. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.

I stuck through it and, although it was intense at first, it mellowed out in the end. All's well that ends well. Congratulations, Dan!

HA-- hes got this video!

I think he’s good at explaining what he wants and doesn’t want but also is contradicting himself. If you did exactly what he said, he wouldn’t have liked what you did. I’m glad you were showing him and going through each section asking what he wanted and if it would be cohesive or even possible with his other preferences. I had a picky mom come in with her adult son and I started with a low fade, then to a medium, and then to a high fade. It was really time consuming and took a lot of patience but she loved her son’s hair at the end. I didn’t really appreciate her comment about how my medium fade dipped in the back looked “weird” but her son said “you are a genius for doing that, it compliments the head shape so well!” He said he never had a haircut like that before. They left happy but I am thankful that not every client is like that. I love a good challenge every once in awhile but sometimes there’s that client that will not like anything that you do and I truly believe it’s a confidence issue or something deeper going on that has nothing to do with us.

That's a hundred times better than when he came in and there's nothing wrong in being fussy but I feel for his girlfriend if he has one!

Thank you sir for your patience with this younger generation, we need more men, fathers, uncles, Grandpa's , with the kindness of patience that you have, blessings to you and your business in the name of Jesus Christ.

I find it so much easier to find a photo of the cut/style you want to have. Therefore there is no confusion!

Dan is so great at explaining his techniques. I'm really tempted to find a guy who wants a haircut! Haha

I’m American and one day I will visit London to have Dan cut my hair! I love this channel and his videos. He is the best.

Dan handled that situation so well! As a customer you need to allow the Barber/Stylist to put there spin on the haircut and work with them for the best outcome. This turned out so clean considering how fussy this lad was, just proves the skill Dan has in communicating as well as cutting and styling hair.

Amazing work! Wonderful amount of time spent with such a fussy client. But you can only fit in a few of them in a day! Great job getting what he wanted.

Awesome skilled barber.

Super nice job. The clients/viewers also get a quick tutorial to show to other barbers later!!❤ Excellent work!

I can promise you that he does not represent the majority of Long Islanders! There's probably not a barber left on Long Island that will deal with him. Dan deserves an award for his patience with this guy.

One of the best barbers out there....with a good knowledge of hair types.

Wow! I just started watching Dan and his work, being a hairstylist myself his consultations are so relatable. I really did understand this client but it seems he didn’t use the right words to explain his ultimate goals. Overall, I find men and boys to be much pickier about their hair but I enjoy their explanations. Dan is very talented at his craft!

He was not fussy, Id say "particular" haha. I think it came down to proper communication on his part. He has nice hair and he sees it as his trademark. I love how Dan took the time, not only to listen carefully, but to ensure they were on the same page! Best video so far with Dan, Id say Mr Regal Gents.

Dan, I have recently stumbled upon your channel, and I really appreciate your work, but more importantly your listening skills and how you can read your client. I’m from Toronto but if life ever takes me to London, I will look you up for a cut.. cheers

Now he looks like a nice looking young guy. He needs to keep that style.

Nearly 20mins until the first snip! As ever a great cut and it looked great! I think the overall experience for Dan was like when a dad brings in 3 young boys for a haircut; extra, extra effort!

What a consultation. Not easy at all but the end was spot on Dan. Too job as always

Dan is a Saint! Jesus, imagine when this guy goes shopping for clothes. The haircut looks great. Let’s hope he can live with it for awhile.

When did being picky and descriptive at a barbershop become so "TOOLY". Isn't it the point? To explain and have a conversation, not just say "2-inch side taper" then it comes out sh#t and you regret not being more descriptive.

The problem was that the client didn’t know the name of the hairstyle or how to articulate it correctly in technical terms. This is a straight up hairstyle from the 90’s called “Curtains”.

I hope you got a big tip Dan! I bring several pictures and then let my stylist just work their magic. You did a super job! He looks 💯 better with this style. Bless you for your patience! ❤🙏💐
