I've been watching this video over and over for one year now, since I started as a barber myself. I just have one wish, that you would make a step by step tutorial on your technique. But it will probably not happen, this video is already 5 years old. That's so sad. Hope you still do it though, Terry! Would make my week!

sweet can't wait to see the new clips . its good seeing kiwi videos and what's around Chch

Fu**en Sick style! Love it! I've been cutting for almost a year and all the vids I've seen on youtube are using a clipper guard system. I almost always use clipper/scissor over comb towards the end of my cuts, but this has inspired me to go all out with clipper over comb. Thank you for the vid. Great work on the video editing/cut!

What happened to the right/left handed video you were going to do. Great inspiration that made me try clipper over comb more, now I do it on every cut. Thank you

i watched this video like more than 10 times , Please teach us the art ! i mess up the back when connecting right and left side in the middle with clipper over comb , i dont knw what i do wrong but i get a bald kinda spot in the back.

@christerry9834

7 жыл бұрын

Hey man, the best way to avoid that is to work your way from the first side you start with to the back and actually complete most of the back then. Then work the other side to the completed length at the back. You'll notice when I start with the left side I finish at the back ( about 3.33min into timer) I've pretty much got the back done, then work the right side to that shape. Try that and see how you go. I'm always conscious of leaving a bald patch too so I tend to leave a bit more length at the back just in case then take it shorter if need be. Glad you liked the vid man and keep practicing bro! Hope that helps!

Hey Levi, the firs thing you need to do to get good at clipper over comb is to get good at scissor over comb. Scissor over comb is an incredible skill to master and builds up the small muscles in your hands making it easier to master clipper over comb. There's a lot of small things happening all at once when doing clipper over comb man and quite difficult to put into words. I think I'll make a short step by step vid soon so you can see for yourself. Stay tuned...

Each to their own i guess....

@christerry9834

8 жыл бұрын

+Alfonso Sanchez Hey man, all you do is open up the blade and scoop from the bottom up. The trick is to change the angle you hold the clipper to blend, if you want to go close keep your clipper flat to the scalp, if you want to be soft hold your clipper more towards 90 degree's from the scalp. To blend you have to subtly change your angle between the two. It takes a lot of practice and patience so take your time. Stay smooth and keep your movements fluid. Hope that helps dude

hi great video! Good shots of the clipper over combing. Had a question- I was wondering why you did the initial vertical sections when you went through with horizontal sections after that. Thanks!

@christerry9834

8 жыл бұрын

Hey man, glad you liked the vid, the reason to cut vertical and horizontal is to cross check the line to make sure the shape is strong. I over direct vertically the extend the shape horizontally to check and remove any scissor marks. Hope that helps dude

@christerry9834

8 жыл бұрын

Hey Andy, sorry mate, read your question wrong. (I thought you were asking about the top ) Regards to clipper over comb its kinda the same approach, I smash through vertically building the shape up and if needed go through horizontally to strengthen the line of the fade. As you can see in the vid its a very heavy fade, which I like, so it means I can push a bit harder to show a strong contrast. There we go, hope that helps

@woodpeckersonfirs

8 жыл бұрын

+Chris Terry no problem, you actually answered my question with your first response, though I am still a little confused- will the initial vertical sections around 8 minutes kind of make the shape look like an upside down V, but then when you do horizontal sections around 14 minutes, it almost seems like it's flattening out the top. Are you mainly setting the length with the first vertical pass to not go too short, then setting the shape by going horizontally? Later around 15 minutes I get that you're cross checking the horizontal sections and cutting any corners that might be there

@christerry9834

8 жыл бұрын

Hey Andy, at the 8min mark I'm taking the length shorter from back to the front horizontally to keep length at the front to set the shape up. The vertical sections I connect the length from exterior guide to square up the top. I overdirect the front towards the shorter length around the crown to give me a pomp affect. How's that?

@christerry9834

+1 timedime Hi there, yes the sides do show a heavy line. Personally I like a heavier line on an old skool look like this, it gives the sides more contrast and grows out better especially towards the 5th and 6th week after being cut. As the cut grows out it presents itself like a greaser which is great for the customer and us because the cut is still on point. Also we did shoot the vid on a higher contrast than usual so darker colours like the weight line appear slightly heavier than they are. I think it's cool, thanks for checking it out and stay tuned for our upcoming tutorial vid!

It was just the way we were trained man. 2 main benefits being you are more balanced physically (less likely to get back problems later in your career) and you never stand forward of your customer and get in their personal space. Sadly a skill that isn't taught much any more. I train my apprentices this way and they smash it! Cheers

amazing,ive been a barber here in Canada for 5 years, and i already experience back and shoulder problems on the regular. Im going to start trying this to get some more balance and work the other hemisphere of the brain too.

You guys in NZ have excellent training.

Good luck with switching to left hand on the left side bro, here's some tips...Keep your elbows up and even...stand with your feet at shoulder width apart...look down the teeth of the comb to keep your line straight....use the fingers that aren't holding your comb as support by placing them on the scalp....run the clippers over each section at least 3 times to catch all of the hair....take your time.... All these tips are in the video so watch it closely and all the best.
