This guy here is a perfect teacher, he literally takes u through each stage, step by step of d cutting process. I believe we all can learn n become perfect if we keep following n watching what he does
@@UA-camBarberAcademy beautiful
no for real, i needed this. he is awesome!

Thanks 🙏
this channel is a goldmine
Best tutorial videos on the internet!
@@edo-j1784 I fell the same!
I agree I just saved this video
I agree best channel for learning reallt detailed
Wow. So impressed with this guys patience and the detail in explaining he puts in. You can tell that he has so much knowledge that he is trying to share. Doesn’t hold back, no “trade secrets” withheld from his audience out of ego etc: he shares his knowledge freely : I am so happy to see a guy like this teaching on UA-cam.
Thank you again, your video might have been stressful for you to make but it was a pleasure to watch.
I totally agree Eddy, he really to his time going step by step and showing us with different clippers.
Every word you said is so true. Great, really worthwhile comment.
@@niceview369 thank you for noticing and commenting. I try to give credit where it’s due and I can tell you are the same. Thanks for the mention. :)
This is prob one of the cleanest and most concise fade vid I've seen. You really worked hard on this kids cut and it showed! Good job and thanks.
Quarantine really got me learning to fadeeee 😂💀
Mee too 😅
Bruh lol 😂

@@vishalgore8 Hiii which hair trimmer???
same here😂😭
As a Barber/Cosmetologist of 30+ years, this channel is SO intensely precise. I'm learning and getting techniques reiterated. I bless the Lord for allowing me to come across this channel. Thank you and I definitely am a subbie.
Right on!
@Ominous_Raven_UK Wait… are you saying you think Jesus needs a hair cut??
as a brand new barbering student, being intimated and confused about the machines and the guards is almost a definite phase. It hinders my confident when it comes to hands on practice. This video (and I'm sure many more of yours, subscribed!) really lay down the foundation and I can't thank you enough for being so thorough and patient. I only wish I could enlarge that smaller video screen so I can see your white board with the notes! : )
My wife will never be able to achieve this on me
THIS MAN IS A GENIUS! Finally had my "got it" moment after watching this video. Appreciate all the love and knowledge you give us through these videos.
Allllllooooot of effort, highly appreciated I love u and may god bless you.
This video is absolutely brilliant! I've never seen someone explain a fade as in depth as you just have, I'm excited to try all of these techniques. Thank you!
Love that kid 🤣 you can use his name lol.
Everytime you cut his hair it looks fantastic!!
Awesome break down information appreciate your inspiration 💯🔥🖐
I watched this video when I first wanted to get into barbering and I learned so much. Now I revisit every so often and I learn more and more from this single video every time I rewatch it
Operator/ Instructor - cosmo for 36 years. I absolutely loved this video and your strategy on making it to excellence. I learned a different way and that’s always so cool. I’ve been doing fades for years and have several military clients. To all, from beginners to veterans, The best advice is keep an open mind and be open to learning new ways of doing things. It keeps you sharp, happier, and truly keeps your career from burnout. Thanks so much for all work you put into this video.
Eddie!!!! Been waiting for some fresh content😩 I know you’re busy but I appreciate all the effort of course. I’m @250 hours so I’ve been cutting for a few weeks now. I’ll be honest....it’s one thing to grasp these tutorials mentally and an entirely different thing to APPLY it in real time. I think I’m just going thru the beginner brain farts but I can tell you that several times I have found myself stuck during a cut(which is quite often right now) I have remembered some of your tips that have helped me push thru. Thanks so much brother✌🏼

Hey bro what’s the name of that blade that was on your cordless senior, in the start of the video?
Ive watched alot of barber vids amd i have to say, this is probably the best tutorial ive seen.. i actually learned alot watching this
This man is awesome , I am a master barber that has a learning disability, so I pick up things slower than others but once I get it I’m the best at it 👍🏾, thanks man🤛🏽🤛🏽💯💯
Only 10 out of one hundred professional barbers can do good fading like you just did to that young boy.Double thumbs up for you mr. Barber.
Don’t know how old this video is but I loved it - from old girl in England who wishes she’d been a barber 🥰
Man I watch about 30 videos today this was the best tutorial I watched I understood the steps completely, easy to follow and very detailed I appreciate you buddy. Now it’s time to go practice.💈
Bro, where was this when I was in barber school??!!! Good teaching 👍

After a year of cutting my own hair this is by far THE best video on youtube, my fades are so much cleaner, thanks alot!
What should I be paying for haircuts? I use to pay $12 ($15 with tip) all of a sudden, barbers are charging $50.00 - $60.00, I bought my self some clippers and now just cut my and dads hair.
Yeah, the price is definitely gone up because the amount of detail and services we are asked to do takes so much extra time if you were getting a regular haircut I would say that you should be paying around $30 if you’re getting a fade $40-$50 seems about right
I really really loved and appreciated this video! It helped me gain much more understanding to the whole fading process! Thank you! By the way, that fade was CLEAN! You did that! 😇🔥👏🏽🔥👏🏽
@@UA-camBarberAcademy Thank you and Thank you! I definitely will! 😇🙌🏽🙏🏽
What a scientist! Best tutorial video I've seen explaining fades. This guy could teach anything.
Love the detail! I'm in cosmetology school now and just finished hair cutting and we didn't get to touch in detail with the clippers. So I plan on going to take classes for cutting. Your videos really help me understand what I have learned thus far and what I need to work on.
I have been a stylist for 40 years. Six of those 40 years I worked in a barber shop.I learned a lot about cutting men’s hair during that time, that I have used to this day in my salon.This video was great ! I learned so much more about blending and fading that I have been struggling with. Thank you for the very informative and detailed education.
Nice job on the comparing the 3 different types of clippers while elaborating on the fade technique for each. This definitely helps.
I really liked how you broke down how the guards are supposed to be used. This video has taken my hair cuts to a different level of fading. Thanks for taking the time to really explain in detail.
Dude this guy knows what hes doing and the way he explains it is amazing💯what a good teacher man
Wow thank you bro your a legend 💯💯💯
How would u blend, skin to a 0 on top,,?
How are you giving this information away for free mate?!!? Thank you.
@@UA-camBarberAcademy Amen. Thank you!
This is amazing man.. no one comes near you with this videos man , just a matter of time before you blow up !!
Huge thanks bro!
Hey I had a question if I don’t have the ceramic blade for the oster fast feeds would this still apply?
As always, you keep putting out such great content to help us students and others alike. It's such a blessing to have your videos to help me understand the fundamentals. As a barber student, your channel is my go to everytime. Eddie! You're the best, bro! Thank you!
That's why I gotta buy some new clippers cause I only got Walmart clippers n there missing. .5 guard and. 1.5 guard
I bought those guards online. And i also bought a #10 and #12 for long hair cuts
Yea I plan on getting the fast Feeds with the ceramic blade I think they come with those guards right.
The content and knowledge you are giving is incredible, ur going strait to the point and you don't drag on it. It's just a continuous learning curb.. Appreciated bro! keep up the good work 🤝
Your a natural teacher. I am a barber and u areexplaing it very well. Lo etour channel. Always teaching me new stuff. Wish your achool was on the west coast, woulda loved to take it over the school i went too
This is fire 🔥. I'm starting to cut . Greatly appreciated this. Do you do any private classes?
What an amazing class you just put on brother! I mean step for step you were just on point with so much detail and information. Not just letting us know what and when to use, but how to use em! The proof is in the puddin' just by the result of little man's cut. I'd give this a thousand likes if I could brother! Great work
when using the wahl 1/16 guard are u just focusing on the line left behind after the #1 closed? or do u need to start with it open above the line and drop every time u close up the lever?
@@UA-camBarberAcademy thanks so basically your lever playing on that line left behind
@@UA-camBarberAcademy studying this video bro question when going back to the trimmer before you go forward after the clipper closed do you flick the trimmer for keep it flat?
Thanks again for another great educational video Eddie, major boost for me, really appreciate your efforts in helping us all out. God bless.
Amazing is there any chance you can do a cut throat showing how to hold and cut correctly your videos are fab learnt so much my work is just getting better and better
New subbie... I love how he jumps right into to knowledge. Nice camera work and I like the school board/ coach / training play by play style.. no nonsense.. no gimmicks... fantastic cuts. How am I just now finding you?🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Such a great video, really in depth we did not get in school 😤, AND THANK YOU for answering the question about taking appointments versus walkins. We are having a hissy fit at the shop where I work with people just wanting to walk in and get their hair cut right away, while we have other appointments booked. REALLY HELPFUL, thanks again!!!
You're way better than the other barbers out there who's getting so much heat in their own channels. You should have 2m plus subscribers too! I just hope all the best for you man. Thanks for taking the time in coming up with this very in-dept tutorial video. May all the other aspiring barbers out there as well find this channel too.
Hey mate. I have been barbering in my spare time for a couple of years now and watched hundreds of videos. Yours is incredibly easy to understand and the explanations are far above any other. I also taught for 10 years so understand the learning process. I spent over an hour finding this video for the second time and it was well worth it. Keep it up. You’re the best of the best in tutorials. ✊🏼
Am luaghing and looking bsck man. 21:17 would of ask the dame thing. At the time i didnt know Jack. In my mind i thought fading was just making your hair bald on the side and having hair on top or using a gaurd number 4. Just a example. Biggest weakness i had was fading the beard. And fading overall i didnt understand. Even years later i seen thst i would go to a open 1 fully open. Go to a number 1 1/2 closed. Judt and ignore thid step and just go to balding the skin. And thats the problem i would tum to. Knowing what your steps. Its commen sense 1-2-3;4. But. This helps me alot from experience. Now i upgrsded tools and know more then i used to. Now when people i need to cut i gladly cut their hair. And ibalso learned skipping gaurds and not pushing the gusrd to deep. I can go on. But tbh. I learned by trail and error. Looking at Chris bossio videos. And 360 jeezy. And smaller youtubers. And personal your youtube channel feels like you got to be on lock to understand thid info. I hate but love videos like this. I allways love getting hsnds on and which you Will see what you do rihht from wrong. But i just wsnt to come back and thaank you for these types of videos. Ive cut my hair for 6 years self taught.snd took long since noone wa tef to get a haircut. And judt pass. Biggest thing am grest in is shaving with no probelm. I was shaky and nervous i would sweat. Not wsnting to cut people. Or mede then up. But as a grown up to a teenager/ adult. Nobody is perfect mistakes happen. And i like to say is whatever passion you have go for it. Got nothing to lose. I owe a 2020 expedition. Judt hard me work 21. Just wsnt to put some motivation.
Ugh. The masters are hands down the holy grail for clean, perfect, skin fades. Especially for a major contrast between skin tone & hair color or finer textured hair. BUT, as a female, it’s so taxing because they’re criminally heavy. I only reach for my masters if really necessary. My shoulder”s, yes shoulder, is destroyed after. Guys don’t use their shoulders as much cuz their forearms are stronger, I don’t have that option, also I’m short & am reaching up for many clients. But the Masters are an incredible clipper. They put them in your kit @ barber school, so👍.
So I tried this cut. First time cutting my own hair. I do not have a half guard however, but wouldn't the clipper itself half open be half guard? I have guards 0,1,2,3,4 etc but no half. Also you have IG? Would be easier to send you a message
Bro,I'm going to keep it 100. U R D MAN. Your vids are straight to the point. It's a difference in doing the cut and teaching the the cut,, brother you actually teach the cut. You go into detail after detail after detail, I'm very appreciative of your talent and dedication to barbering, Chi-town big ups to ya.
What happened to your forearm hair?? Hahaha. My wife hates when I test my clippers on my forearm hair. You look like you went nuts. Lol. Best “how-to” videos on UA-cam IMHO.
It was a great video, extremely informative. You're very talented. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience!
Amazing hair cut. Thank you for the amazing video tutorial. Quick question…would you follow the same steps if the hair is a little longer on top and for an adult? Or would you not go so high up with the 2 guard?
Thanks in advance.
Always fade/work from bottom to top. Never top to bottom. Reason: U have complete control over your fade. *Side note: do the hairline all the way around the head first, that way you can see your cut better overall. U could easily get discouraged struggling on a spot that just needs to be lined up..
Damn! Over 30 minutes long and watched all of it! Very informative for sure! Thank you
Your video is still relevant and I always pass on your video to people who are struggling with fades and they watch and always improve and thank me for introducing you to them.Always amazing Eddie 💪💎💎💎💎🙏🌱
I appreciate that!
Hi I am totally new to all of this and need a little clarification please, when you say 5 zero /trimmer is that the same as .50 guard open blade? what is the difference between 5 zero and .50 also, your design on the board shows from 2 moving down to 5 zero/trimmer..after you come down after .5c are you using any guard to do "o" and "c" or is it just with the blade open and no guards? thanks for the help.
Thank you! If I watched this video first I wouldn’t have fucked my hair up the first time haha! Can’t wait to fix it next week😆 Can’t wait to watch your other videos, liked and subscribed!
I have been cutting hair on and off for a few years, I started messing around and learning while incarcerated actually and have been wanting to make it one of my career bucket list goals and master it for some time now. Finally getting blessed with an opportunity recently to work at a shop and be able to do the apprenticeship program for school along with it. It has been very stressful to say the least, because my boss who is supposed to teach me......well let's just say he's not the best teacher and me having to cut a high volume of clients from the gate has been hard(mostly military that want low,mid,and high fades). Having to basically learn and experience things on my own or watch and ask my coworkers for pointers and help taking away from there time to make money I had to turn to these videos for more guidance and help to really learn the process of fading especially with the multiple tools that were thrown at me.
This video has helped me more in 20 minutes than I have learned the last month ide say haha. Extremely grateful for this man im more confident and motivated than ever! and I can't wait to go to work thank you so much for this knowledge your the goat.
Best breakdown video on here hands down,do yourself a favor and go subscribe trust.
Fairplay to you mate you know what your doing.. im ok cutting hair, iv been able to cut my own hair for over 10 years. I used to cut loads of the boys hair here in my village, allways wanted to do a barber course but never did. 😫. Could have been as good as you by now. Lol. Or not haha. Keep it up mate your brilliant
Nice crisp lines....with out even setting up extra an u don't switch up 5 diff guards ...to do a. Mid fade#4 on top ..not bad fade at all midbald#4 1/2 on
Holy… could this boys features be any more perfectly chiseled and beautiful. That said … you are an amazing artist and teacher. Thankyou so much for your precise instruction and attention to detail. Top notch skillz
Great job on the video. I have been a barber for 34 years. And to tell you the truth. I just turn my machine on and just let it rip. Never knowing the difference between a fade blade or a taper blade. Thank you for explaining it in such great detail.
Is there any in person classes? I’m a licensed cosmetologist & I’ve always wanted to specialize in barber but the barber classes that they offer in my town don’t teach fades, they teach basics. And I would prefer one on one time!
You guys. Is it necessary to get your clippers modified? I have a terrible time blending from skin to no guard. I’m afraid to unscrew my blade and readjust in case I cut someone. Is it just practice practice practice?
Thankyou so much straight hair be hav I ng me go in circles....i watch 360 jazzy and yeah he a good barber but by far you are the best teacher...they didnt show me shit in school like this.....
Thank you for the educational tutorial, it was def educational. I learned how the art of fading hair works. Perfect video for people who know nothing about Barbering💈 …
Where do I get the brush you use throughout the fade.
I can’t seem to find one that wants to rip peoples scalps open. (Over exaggerating but you know what I mean!)
Bro I really appreciate your honesty and cutthroat attack on step by step guard levels . Your videos literally make me feel like I'm in your class live ! Thank you for your patience and input on barbering in general
This video was so helpful and I really appreciate the time you took to explain each step. I can’t wait to get to my next fade!
I’m very surprised in how theirs so many videos of clippers and trimmers but no one talks about shears. Or what type of shears that’s makes a big difference to me I work with Joewells. And matsui
No entiendo el inglés pero le entendí a como moviaas la máquina, excelente, si pudieras hacer un vídeo así pero en español te lo agreceria muchísimo 🤩, no le entendía a como realizar ese corte y con este video le entendí!!😃 Mucha gracias
Hey thank you so much that you share all your experience and technik. You explain very good. No bla bla i like that. Greeting from Germany
Hi my name is fernando im from donw soth of mexico were my cousin teach me how to start the barbering i verly got like 6 months on this job i work for a shop out here in tijuana mex,but i think need more instrucción and some more tecnica i been watching videos and try to understand them but i coun’t,,so i find yours and i can easily understand you so perfect and clearly thenk you so much for doing this,and gonna keep whatching your tutorials i wish you doing some of beards, thank you god bless you, im gonna your instruccions
I really appreciate that you made a haircut tutorial where you used 3 different fading techniques/pattern.. Thank You
The way you explain this is *almost* dummy proof...... I'll let you know if I'm the dummy that proves my statement wrong lol.....
ALEX EGOBI I know, he is one of the BEST !!! May God Continue too bless their kindness of heart.
Thank you for a Superb Tutorial,Simplified! You have a Fan in Me from England,Cheers! x M
Off topic look how the mother (I’m assuming) pays the most attention. A mother’s love is irreplaceable.
As a barber I also take walk-ins and do appointments what works for me I found out is that I have a sign in the waiting room explaining that I do appointments and I also take walk-ins if an appointment comes and you're a walk in I must take the appointment first we appreciate your business and we look forward to seeing you
Do you advice zero gap trimmer and clipper? If you do agree how do you avoid irritating the client skin. Thanks
i’m a little confused, how come you went from 90% open to fully closed, why not just start at fully closed when doing the fade above the skin line
Hey boss I really liked what you said about the mirror 4 feet distance becomes a 8 feet view !! You’re the only barber that I heard talking about that true detail.
Just wanted to say thanks for the videos!!!!! I have watched this about 4x and it helps everytime!!!!
cutting it all down with a "2", was it a detachable 3 1/2? I don't know that first clipper you were using
As a barber instructor, I pick my tutorials with discretion. I will be referring students to this series.
Thanks for posting.
Ive been cutting my hair for years....i recently started doing skin fades...this helps a lot!!
It’s Erie how much were alike. Maybe because if u stay with the natural hairline and don’t try and make ur own, u can only do a cut so good..
Hi Eddy, it’s Dominic, I just made an account and I will be making my first vid next Thursday
What is the name of the clipper that, when using the lever it clicks so you know exactly where you are when you're opening or closing the blade
Great video Bro!Thank you for your passion, it is contagious and you work is awesome! ✌🏾
Best walk through ive seen yet and ive watched alot. This helps massively
Theodor video is awesome ,but i have to tell you sir the clipper matters , I starter with an ermilo clipper and I could do a fade but it was never good enough it always let some shades or lines, doesnt matter how much i try not to. but with my wahl clipper it comes out perfect. with my ermilo clipper i am pretty sure the guards are not acurate. the clipper matters
I’m a 30 year barber your teaching technic A1.
I love watching barbering videos this is a gem 💎
Bro, thanks to you i cut my first person. And it looked just as in the video! I am mindblown really...
That kids line up was crooked the right side is higher, and what caused that was you holding the trimmer at a slant, why would you do that? Lol everything else looks good.
