The one the pet peeve that I think all barbers can agree on, is that walk-in that comes in all loud talking about “who’s the best barber in here? I only want the best cutting my hair.”
Ugh can’t stand it
Yeah that sucks.
I usually just asked if they got “best barber” money and it usually takes care of itself
@@isaiahhernandez3056 I’ll have to try that, thanks
Sheeeesh…!! That’s not RuDe at all 😖
Pain in the ass clients that will search and search for something to “fix” every single time but don’t tip at all. Those are the ones that always want the most.
Like dude it’s the same every time just get up outta here!
@Benita Rodriguez red flag 🚩 🤣
😆😆😆
@ Benita Rodriguez….. That’s when u ask out loud in the shop, “Does anyone know how to get rid of blood under your nails?” 🙃
Booking the wrong slot, stiff neck clients, and being late🤣 I often get all 3 in 1 client🤣
They gotta go!
The way Doug spun that chair around real slow to show off the cut though. 😂
😂😂😂
‘You gonna blend that line in’. BRO just shut up and let me come to that when I’m at that part of my fading system😤😂
No joke!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
People who flinch everytime the clippers touch them and tilt their head towards their shoulder so you can’t get in there or see what you are doing.
Eye contact while trying to line up the mustache😂😂😂 close your eyes!
Ugh 🤦🏻♂️
I think outside of what’s already been said, a pet peeve I had was when clients want “an inch” off so you turn them around to visionary show them to get their input on that inch and then they say it’s either not enough or too much was taken off.
Always too much 🤦🏻♂️
Ohhh Snap, so when they’re tellin Shorty they’re 8in, they really mean 4’ out here…?!? 😆😆😆
I’m not gonna lie, if the customer cops an attitude after underestimating 1 inch of hair, there’s a GOOOOOOOOOD chance Imma clown em before I finish the cut on some:
“So it must be all about the Girth, Not the Length huh?!”
@@11buttnaked 😂😂😂😂
Also a HUGE pet peeve was when the client asks for a taper or burst fade and as you finish the cut they ask if you can convert it to a full blown fade especially with your next client waiting.
Yeah not happening
@@Seancutshair I would tell them that they’d have to book a new appointment since I gave them what they wanted based on the initial consultation (literally the whole purpose of the consultation is to ensure both parties are on the same page 🤣)
Ohhhh Snap…..!! That’s a thing..?!?
@@11buttnaked I had one specific time where this client asked for a low fade with a scissor trim. Then when everything was said and done he asked for a high fade with a 5 on top. 2 different haircuts
@@bossmanzay23 😮WHat the Fudge..?!? Knowing myself, I probably would said something stupid like, "I would bro, but I'm about to take my break & watch the newest episode of My Little Pony Hentai with this Meatball sub!" 🤡
When you ask how they want their hair and they say, "I don't know, you're the professional."
Well alright then 🤦🏻♂️
Fortunately, as I was learning to cut hair from these UA-cam Maestros, 360Jeezy did one on this topic…..so when I got that as an answer, I was prepared. I believe Sean is gonna open this thing up to viewers suggestions in conjunction to his own ideas & Blow the Lid off this Thang..!!
And they end up unsatisfied with the haircut at the end all the time!
Yo! I have a client that gets up out of the chair when we talk about a subject he gets excited about. Bruh!!!
Ah nah 😮
Buddy must be a “Method Actor”..!! I bet they talk with their hands frequently too. 😄
Some of my pet peeves as a old customer. Barbers being late to an apt, literally stopping in the middle of a cut to talk on the phone, smelly hands/hygiene, high prices for mediocre work. Started cutting my own hair off of UA-cam tutorials🙏🏾
I can agree with all those points!
just have to say i lobe the ring lights thats really smart to have them focused like that at each station!
Thank you they work great like that!
These are mad interesting, you should ask them about the worst cut they ever had to do
That’s an awesome one wait til you hear my answer 😂
Oh man where do I start 😂just a few,hate when there late for their appointment,playing with their phone looking down like an ostrich with they head in the ground and last but not least when they start to fall asleep in the middle of clipper over comb or the line up,it’s so annoying.
Ugh 😩
speakin from 30 years exp, the worst thing that ever happened to the barber buisness is the DAMN CELLPHONE! (haha) ...but seriously, unless ur an on-duty police officer, DO NOT start wiggling around during ur haircut to fish ur cellphone outta ur pocket & then have the audacity to think that ur phone call is that dang important... chances are, it aint! ...so for me, answering a cell call during a h/c is my #1 ...great video man, thank u
Yeah talking on the phone is bad 😡
I know the feeling..!! I tried to adapt, but as soon as they pick their head up…..the lighting/shadows show ALL KINDSSSSSSSS of detail work needed..!!
Markel!! Man gave me the best cut for years, only thing I miss about KY for real!
Have to stop back in if you are not ever in town
@@Seancutshair I plan to around Christmas, if you guys are open on the 26th I'll be there!
He said “when they turn around and look me in the eyes” 😂
One of my pet peeves is when you finish, pay out and then they still want to keep talking to you while you’re trying to get your next person seated.
Yeah I got work to do!
Yeeeeeeep
Favourite and least favourite cut to do ! I personally hate doing Flat tops, I'll still do them but I won't put my full heart in it.
Will I love doing a pompadour
Flattops smh 🤦🏻♂️
Only issue is I need more of this content and I haven’t even seen it yet
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Twice I’ve been told by two different young high schoolers that they will start swinging at me if they don’t like the haircut. Aight kid, hop on outta my chair and give mommy’s money back
Yeah see ya!
Bro can’t forget about them clients who always like “you think you can hurry up bro” as soon as you put the cape on them🤦♂️ then proceed to be picky through the whole haircut.
lol yeah that doesn’t work
That’s selfish as Heck
What apron is that JT is wearing (actually I guess several of your guys are wearing it!)? I really like it!
Knife and flag. Same one I wear
Never been here like this before. Pretty excited 😊
Nice 👏🏻
My pet peeve is client talking with alot of emotion. For example we’re having a good conversation and the client being so emotional in the conversation their face & forehead moves.
Super greasy heads as well
Yeah trying to cut a moving target 🤦🏻♂️
Coming in for a haircut with a ton of gel or product in the hair.
The worst!!!
That’s what I was thinking!
You got Tim the tatman playing overwatch in the back that's sick
Yeah he has long videos so I can play it and leave it running 👌🏻
Aight my turn (customer). Barbers that don’t respect client time and skip over the appointment to cut their homies hair first. I’ve moved a lot in my life so I’ve always experienced preferential treatment for “veteran” customers. This shit is mad annoying. At least it narrows my options down.
Yeah that’s unacceptable. We used to have a local guy that actually promoted $100 and skip the line. 🤦🏻♂️
The barber that says I’ll be right with you , 20 min later past your appointment time. I can’t stand those barbers, that right there already is a no tip,
Awesome content!! Will you ever travel to Arizona to give classes?
Who knows?! Looking to do a tour but not sure where
this video was gold
💯💯💯
Thanks for the vid!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Me: "Hey man! Glad to hear you're doing well! What are you looking to get done today?" Client: "A haircut"
🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
I can understand where that comes from though, Some of the guys at least get the same haircut which isnt special and just needs to be done. Makes more sense if you are a regular and you have a barber who knows you need a new haircut/style instead of just getting your hair cut, but depends on the barber, Some just cut, some try to give you the best experience. I prefer a great experience.
No one mentioned the client talking on the phone, or constantly taking calls.
Yeah that’s bad
Yeeeeeep
It’s the people who always look in the mirror for me I absolutely never ever turn them towards the mirror and they break their neck to look and usually if I stop it’s to take a step back and check my work and there they go breaking their neck
Yeah just wait til it’s done
👀
When you ask them what the plan is, and they say, “same thing just shorter”
Well how much shorter? Do you want to see skin on the sides? Cuz I can just shave it all and it will be shorter
Yeah come on man!
worst one is are you gonna fade this out lmao right after the bald line lmao
“Messing with my mat” I bet your fun to work for
😜😜😜
Hey sean great topic I personally hate when they dont know what they want so i look up photos show them the difference between a taper and fade and they’ll say taper for example and as im finishing up theyll be like “nvm lets try a fade” when i told them that would be double the cut, I was wrong…. I explained to him that was two whole cuts but guess i was in the wrong 🤦🏽♂️ anyways a good question would be worst haircut experience lol mine would be dealing with a drunk guy that passed out in my chair and ended up peeing his pants 💀😂 safe to say i got a new chair and threw that cape away lmao
Oh it’s on the way 😂
Brooooo WHAT..?!? Maaaaaan, I’m sorry u had to experience that!
That DAMN PHONE!!!! Many clients can't live without looking down at their phone. I don't even care if you use it or look at it. Just hold it up so your head is up!
Yeah put it up til the end damn 🤦🏻♂️
I bought a MagSafe charging stand and offer my clients a charge while I do the cut
@@stephendonnini6682 thanks Bro! I'm giving this a try!
Ask them if and when they started cutting their own hair and what they find difficult about it?
None of use cut our own too many barbers around
@sean I have a question does your barbers get in the cellphone in the middle of a cut an check there phone like every 10 minutes , cause the barbers were I live stay doing that an honestly they can't cut hair here
I wouldn’t say so, but I do sometimes. We do longer appointments so not as much of a rush. Definitely don’t do it to a problem though
I hate when a walk in that knows you go by appointments calls you constantly and gets mad because you’re booked and can’t answer them when they want you to answer and you can’t get them in because you’re book. I’m like dude just book an appointment and problem solved.
Yeah and they just won’t do it 🤦🏻♂️
My number 1 is answering calls when I’m cutting ! Or constantly moving
Yeah stay off the phone!
@@Seancutshair next video ask the clients what’s there #1 pet peeves on barbers ! Cause I know answering phone calls gonna be on there’s to 😂
Where’s the Pissed Off Barber at? I’m sure he’s got a thing or two to add. 🤣🤣🤣
I’m sure he would
Which is better for fading hair cuts the gamma boosted or the X Ergo?
Both cut pretty similar, just preference on shape of the clipper
Backseat barbers will never not piss me off
💯💯💯
Clients who continue a long ass story you don't care about and you want them to get out your chair and do your next client.
😂😂😂
Where is DC??
The mic was off when I did his!
when they say " i want a 3 OR a 4", u do a 4 then after doing the cut they say they want a 3
🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Any tricks they use to save time?
Good one!
Do you ever come to Buffalo, Niagara, Toronto area???
I would love to bring my small shop to your show to help us level up our game.
I have a team member outside of Buffalo I may have to do a class at her shop!
I have a question on how you handle them type of clients that keep turning around looking at you or trying to tell you your job lol, do you tell them something or do you just keep letting them do it?
If it’s bad enough you gotta say something. Don’t have to be rude just say hey I can talk to ya fine but try to keep your head straight for me?
Touché..!!
What part of Kentucky you’re in?
Owensboro
when they put the cap after you cut and style their hair
Ugh 🤦🏻♂️
Clients that dont let you turn their head and literally resist and force you to ask them to move their head.
Ridiculous
🙌🏽
I found one barber that cuts good out of 3 barbershops I've tried an I can't find him again
Damn 👎🏻
Clients that are always over correcting their head. Head be completely side ways while fading the side. If i need it moved I'll let ya know. Can just about do the whole cut with the head prefectly centered
Ridiculous
I’m happy to say I’ve never done any of these things but when I was younger and regularly going to the barber every week I was constantly tired from working long hours, hanging out late and drinking and getting little to no sleep. Back then it was not uncommon for me to start nodding off in the chair. Not a good situation for a barber trying to give you a nice, even cut. Sorry Leon.
It happens! I can understand especially if you’re workin a ton. Not a problem
@@Seancutshair Working a lot and drinking a lot. Leon didn’t appreciate it too much but I understand that.
Ask them about tipping, do they get mad if a customer doesn't tip? Should a customer tip? Why?
Another solid idea!
Hey Sean I just have questions regarding the filming of this video. Do you shoot these on your iPhone or a camera?
These are done with my phone
@@Seancutshair okay perfect! Could you tell me how you connect the Dji mics to your recording? Is it done through the Dji app? I honestly thought these things had to be used with a legit camera.
I have a good one I bet most barbers can agree......Don't look into my eyes 👀 while I'm lining you up .....I mean that feels so damn awkward
👀👀👀
My pet peev is when i stay late or come earlier just to hook you up in need and you dont even tip a bit -.-
Unacceptable
😳😳😳
How about when a customer say. I use to cut hair.
Oh boy 🤦🏻♂️
I had when they keep looking in the damn mirror. Like bruh chill out.
Yeah the worst!
Bro do you know how can i add more texture on my mullet, bc my mullet is like 3-4 old its kinda short n its so straight like im having a wall in the back
Watch my best mullet video on the blonde guy 👌🏻
When clients ask for a mid fade but wanted a taper
Oops 😂
🤣🤣🤣 It is what it is now Buddy..!!
Brooo, had a client who wanted a taper but described the haircut as a low drop fade. I set in my guidelines and he said I fucked up. So he walks out with an unfinished haircut
@@TymanHer What the Fudge..?!?
@@11buttnaked I know right! I mean It’s my fault too for not having a good consultation with him. But he said he wanted his fade as low as possible while taking his hand around his head like a low fade. Hope that makes sense? Lol
Mine is, " You're the barber, just do whatever." Look man, I PROMISE, you DO NOT want me to do whatever I want. Because you will not like it.
Shoot I always said if the wrong person did that I was giving them a shaved mohawk like “here ya go” 👌🏻
2 all over it is then
🤣🤣🤣 Give em that “Balrog” from Street Fighter…!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Clients who wont hold their own head up and when you move it how you need it they just let their head fall right back down the second you take your hand off their head. 😵
Give ‘em a crooked cut 😜
Yeeeeeeesssss!!! Like “oh you’re neck feels uncomfortable for 1 min, my back feels uncomfortable all day b*tch! “
Ask their preference on enhancements? Why?
Good one
What bugs me the most is a client with just an overall bad attitude
Yeah like try again another day
I’m an apprentice here in Aus and it’s annoying whenever I mention it to a client and they treat me like an idiot and act like I’m a newbie when I’ve been cutting for a while chill out you’re only asking for a #2 back and sides with a bit off top that shits easy
Lol yeah people do the most I get it
Well, here I am again..🤣
Every time!!!
Moving the chair while I’m trying to cut them most of them don’t know the chairs lock tho lol but I would definitely have done this vid after hours I feel like some clients would be offended as fuck in the chair lmao good video tho
Yeah of course it’s not meant to offend but some just don’t get it!
@@Seancutshair I understand bro some clients are just soft! 😂
How about when The Clients wife does all the talking for him! “He wants this” he wants that”
Ugh hate it 🤦🏻♂️
Yoooooooo, I’m not gonna lie: There were times when I’d let the wife choose my cut, but she nvr went overboard like that! This makes dudes look “Slushy” if their old lady is going in like that..!! 🤦🏾♂️
Taking phone calls while in the chair that aren't business or emergency related....sit during another's service, when it's their time suddenly have to use the bathroom and I see this alot which is weird. Like that WHOLE time you didn't have to use it til now ? 🤷🏽
Yeah either have to use the bathroom or finally get in the chair and have no idea what they want!?! Like you had all that time…smh 🤦🏻♂️
No Call No Shows are the worst!.. another one , when they treat the Barber Chair foot rest like a Diving board
Cant wait for this video 😂
It’s a good one
Staring at my eyes when doing lineup, CLOSE YOUR DAMN EYES!
👀👀👀
BIGGEST pet peeve: Kids crying...before/during the cut. Parents hovering.
Yeah both 🤦🏻♂️
Omg parents hovering is the worst 🤣
Eye contact, bad breath, being late, twitching
😩😩😩
2:36 biggest pet peeve is someone who asks for a fade with no hair.... 🙄
🤣 lol jk
Old man…can ya give me some hair?
@@Seancutshair they can pay me to cut it or pay me to find it, either way is fine with me as long as they let me do my job and aren’t too ridiculous with their requests. I can work some mirracles with “bad hair” or light hair but if there’s literally nothing there then it is what it is unless you want a paint job lol. Im all about making my clients happy so if they’re happy I’m happy! 😁
One of the local guys said his pet peeve was dirty/sweaty hair. And here's a topic: what 'trick' did you learn that they didn't mention in Barber school that clicked & helped improve your haircutting.
Good idea!
Big Facts..!! Oily, Dirty or Ridiculously Jelled up hair is yucky & horrible on your tools! Good Topic idea as well
No call No Shows drive me crazy. Dudes that try to barter with the set price of the cut like cmon bro
Yeah unacceptable
Can’t forget those clients that can’t never relax their foreheads 😂🤣
😮😮😮
YESSSSSSSSS…!!! Hairline lookin like the McDonalds logo..!! Relax Cuz..!!
The worst pet peeve is sleeping I hate clients that fall asleep and won’t wake up
What the hell! Lol only seen that with kids
had one dude get mad mid cut and call someone else over to finish it then says “you know what would’ve helped u? if u would’ve lined me up in the beginning” WUT
What the hell 🤦🏻♂️
I let my client watch in the mirror while I'm doing the cut. I wonder why some barbers don't. Maybe they shy lol
Not generally how barbers cut, stylists usually face them to the mirror, barbers away
Tf does that
Some mens cuts look bad before youre finished, like looking at a half painted room. the client freaks out a bit, maybe its better they dont see till its done.
How about bad habits barbers have while cutting hair
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Lol.coast just told everyone why he stopped doin you tube…when Sean said,we gonna do a video and coast said,okay okay you gonna EDIT IT.haha.that the worst part is editing.
Yep…the hard part
Clients who stand up on the footrest of the chair
I hope it flips over on em 😂
Edgar haircuts are my pet peeves
🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Personally learning as a young barber people who don't give you the opportunity to present your Talent are really Annoying
Yes! 🙌🏻
Tim looks like 50cent
😬😬😬
So this video just VALIDATES all my fears and I honestly think I'm the perfect client lolol cause these thoughts already run through my head. I just sit and let the barber do his thing. I choose a barber that fits my style. My family has horrible advice 😅 they tell me to be critical and don't be afraid to ask the barber to redo anything because it's my money. SMH. These barbers have lives and time is precious. Gtfo lol
Love it! We still want you to get what you want but there’s a way to go about it !
People who move their head acting like they're helping you cut their hair. STOP! You're making it harder. I'll move your head if it needs to be moved.
Also ones that tell me how to cut their hair because they've been cutting it at home.
Absolutely 💯
Ask the client? What would make you leave your barber?
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
I hate weak neck bobble head clients. Haha
😂😂😂
ask them their favourite hairstyle to cut
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
People that say “just a little off” you show the cut “hey you think you could take a little more but not too much”
Like… if you don’t trust my judgement or tell me specifically what you want and we go through this multiple times your ass better find a new barber!
Nah sorry I can’t time for my next appointment
