I graduated barber school 3 months ago. You kept me grinding through my year of barber school. Some days it was torture but tbh you kept me in it as a new barber learning to cut. Appreciate you! Keep pushing the young men to pursue their goals. I stayed because you helped me. I’m making 70-80k this year cuz of you . I can provide for a family because of you and Gods grace in my life. Thanks Bossio.
Bro, im in barber school now, working nights delivering pizza full time and school full time in the day. i got 4 months left. it's so hard, man. I dont wanna give up, but being broke all the time sucks when i have 2 kids a wife, and im the only money maker. I feel like nobody understands, man, so im so glad to have a place i can vent and people relate. I hope this pays off bro its my dream. I just payed 2k cash in for overtime hours plus debt. Now i dont even get an income tax, bro. I stick in it for my kids to show them, plus my sister passed away this year, and shes what inspired me. Any advice im hear to listens bro. Much love.
I’m exactly in this stage have two more months to finish school this is all I have but the money haven’t came yet cuz I’m spending all my time in school and quit my job to go to school and using all my savings to make it but I’m so freaking happy cutting and finally doing something tht I feel is mine so thanks for tht brother!!!
Listening to your story again hit me pretty hard. Sitting in the parking lot before i go into work and the things you said really resonated with me. The struggles, emotions, all of it. I've been in a really bad spot mentally for tge last few years and spiraled earlier this year to attempting suicide. My barber kept pushing me to cut hair because he saw I had such a big interest in it and i remember the first time i cut my friend was so discouraging. I got chopped up by like 6 of my homies, so bad i didnt touch clippers for three months. Watching so many tutorials improving the technique in my mind i finally did it again and every couple of weeks my boi let me cut his hair no matter if it was alright or bad. I could see the improvement and i remember just doing it was so therapeutic. It felt finally like i had something i could do where i was in control. Im still learning and I'm really grateful to my barber and all these badass barbers on youtube trying to help the people out. Cutting hair saved my life, and even though I'm still battling my demons, I've found an outlet to help me keep fighting. I'm not giving up. Thank you so much TL;DR: Cutting hair has been a huge help in dealing with my emotions and issues with life. Very grateful for everything the youtube community has taught me and I'm looking forward to getting my license and making this my career.
Dang I felt that, I remember I cried when I got my L’s…tears of job but crazy like my life was gonna change and a year in the old owners I worked for gave me their shop. Took on a partner and out of the pandemic he got a divorce and came back a different person, I walked leaving him everything (being the president of the company and walking away from it) but I believe in the Bible and it hits home when it says the Lord gives and takes away and in my case gives it back but I believe it’s because of my faithfulness to Him and through obedience I got it back. Four months after I left it closed down. I am starting from scratch again but Lord wiling it gets super busy again. We all walk in no appointments, barbers have schedule and their clients come in at the time the we are here. We have a concept that works and we flow with it. Appreciate your content bro 🙏🏼 Happy new year and God bless!
Everything you’ve mentioned i’m going thru rn, it’s hella tough but i know it’s Gods plan.. things happen on his time. ur a Great man, Great video. i’m here for more! thank you.
Im 3 weeks into barber school , school 9am-2:30pm and then working 4pm-12am Mon-Fri. the grind is real and really messing w my mental health , reguardless im hungry, 11 more months to go let’s get it!
you should do a beginner barber series where you teach basic barber skills for example “clipper over comb” that will attract loads of beginner barbers and it’ll be massive help to everyone
Still new as a barber/Cosmo crossover! You’ve helped me so much and I’m going through that beginning stage of having to build myself up. Thank you for always educating, motivating, and inspiring!
I feel this on every level! I am right now working as full time hairstylist, but my focus is hair cutting. I love cutting hair, mens, womens and even kids! I don’t settle for b.s. from my coworkers or from the clients. My speed improved and a lot of the clients I have gained, all say the same thing when I cut their hair: “I’m meticulous, patient, and slight perfectionist” I almost integrate my clients (kindly) what they want, how they style their hair, are they high or low maintenance. I take my work seriously, and value what I give to my clients. I’m only three years in the hair business, and it’s not at all the road I would see myself doing when I was younger. It’s just opened my eyes even more to the world and what I’m capable of. Love your videos! Keep up the amazing work!!
@@evelynponce9440 ppl want to enjoy the ( experience ) rather than feeling like their haircut was rushed. Ppl want to feel welcomed and comfortable while in the chair rather than feeling like a stranger with no real dialogue/connection between them and the barber.
Exactly. Getting a haircut is already time consuming and almost an inconvenience ( for most men). So really gotta be able to put yourself in your clients shoes and treat others the way you would want to be treated.
I'm in school right now brotha, and have to give you part of the credit for why I joined. I became obsessed with watching your videos and I thought "If I'm spending my weekends and free time watching hair cutting videos, There must be interest there" So i decided to take the leap and a few weeks later I was in barber school. Best decision I ever made. Not only because I found a love for cutting, but also the connections and friends I've made along the way. I was working a dead end job, but now i have a career path that is 100x fulfilling and rewarding. I have about 900 hours right now ( I need 1500 in illinois) but Im staying consistent and I'm going to finish soon. Thanks bro. And anyone on the fence for barber school, Just do it
I'm super thankful because this is one of the videos that motivated me to start barber school last year. Today is November 30, 2022 and I graduated Barber school back in July, a year after watching the video, working at a shop now and I'm all in. On my 6FB journey now. Thank you.
Bro you sound so passionate when you tell your story which is inspiring because me and my family have gone through some of the things you have gone through and you just sound so genuine. We have over come some these adversities you have been through and I have gotten inspiration from other barbers and especially you, to become a barber and I just want to tell you to keep doing what you are doing because It definitely inspires and motivates.
Bro I love hearing this story because it's so relatable, I'm only a couple months away from graduating now and it's been fucking HARD. I went homeless right before I entered because I lost my home in the beginning of covid and had no idea what to do, I figured being broke and homeless anyways I might as well jump all in because I'm either going to sink or float anyways so I might as well give it my all. I still work half the week and go to school half of the week. my bills are drowning me but I've been able to hold onto my car so far which at least gets me to school and work, when I'm cutting hair it's about the only time I feel happy or like I have a chance in life. Content like this keeps me going though. It's nice to know other people have the same struggles and can get out of it, thanks bossio..
Wow bro your story really hits home. Im about to finish barber school at the end of this month and its been a struggle financially to say the least but i know the light is at the end of the tunnel and i know nothing worth while comes without sacrifice. So thank you for always motivating and putting out real content brother ... stay blessed 💯
You going back to the basics is a blessing to me cause i plan on enrolling in my barber school this fall and this will just help me learn more stuff that would be very helpful to me since i’m a starting barber
13:00 exactly what i’m doing rn,i have barber school in about 9 or 10 hrs and it’s currently 1:20 am watching videos on how to be a better barber,thanks for uploading and sharing ur progress it helps us a lot 🤝
I been fallowing you since 2016 and you’re one of the reasons why I got even more excited that I chose to go to barber school. I didn’t get to join right away for financial reasons but I finally did in 2019. I literally just finished school and waiting to retest (failed my first test) but can’t wait to retest and crush that 💩! Anyway bro long story long, I still watch your videos but I agree that your main audience will always be new barbers/student’s. It might get repetitive like you said but if you want your channel to keep growing that’s what you will have to do. But anyway thanks for all that you do. You’re a true inspiration of what the Barber game can provide when you decide to work hard and treat barbering for what it is, a real career!
Sooo spot on with what your saying. I'm going to barber school and its just like that. I was about to quit but I meditated on it and talk to some close friends and family on what was going on and ultimately I decided to just keep at it and get my degree .
Any time I need some inspiration and push to keep grinding, your videos do it for me Bossio. I’m in Barber school right now and it’s very relatable to what you spoke on but I know if I keep that focus and grind mentality the sky is the limit. Thanks a lot man even before I knew I wanted to be a Barber I watched your videos and they always lit a fire in me. You’re much appreciated and keep doing what you do!
Bro I’m in school rn and I needed this dawg fr. Definitely lookin forward to more content on school cuz I feel the same way, I should be getting more out of my school than what I get, but when I speak up, I get shut down. Just waitin for these few months to pass.
I start barber school hopefully in the next 2 months. Like anybody I got on UA-cam and tried to get a head start. Along the way I found your videos… and like others I feel blessed to have all this knowledge coming into the industry. Above all you have motivated and inspired me to already want to be a better version of myself! Thank you for what you do! I’ll be following you throughout my journey! Hopefully you come to Texas soon!
Im headed to barber school this December, ive been cutting since freshman year and im 18 now, so im happy with the advantage I’ll have knowing as much as i do already, your vids really helped me out a lot especially with doing scissor work💯
Big respect bro! I was in barber school last year and there was one kid in our class who had that same skill set and experience like you do. It ended up setting him back, he started skipping classes and refusing cuts at the school because he thought he had nothing more to learn. Keep learning bro, best to stay modest even though you’ll be better than your class mates. Always something they can teach you, go in with that open mind and you’ll come out even better🔥🔥🔥 He works at super clips now, and everyone else from the school is in local barbershops⚡️⚡️
Man I graduate barber school tomorrow and I can't wait to get my state boards done and get into a shop. It was a rough road for sure. Got kicked out because of attendance and got back in and now it's almost over. Your videos have always been great encouragement and taught me tons of stuff about cutting hair. Appreciate you homie!
Great video man. I also remember the feeling of finally finishing barber school and getting the license. It was the best feeling for me after getting out of the Army. I’m Barber Instructor now and trying to keep students motivated, right now I’m in a weird position but soon I’ll be back in person. Keep doing what you’re doing man. Respect 💈💯
im 18 and working at my first barbershop and i can’t lie im struggling and today was one of those off days for a barber and it definitely brought my confidence down for the day but i’m still learning and i know it’s gonna get better but man it’s not easy
I am in the same boat bro but I feel like you talk to your clients and make them feel comfortable you feel comfortable and the haircut comes out badasss . If your young at 18 sometimes people’s egos will get in the way from letting you do a good job . Just my personal opinion! All I can say bro is we got this and we can grow 💪🏻💈
@@jfadezz1699 i agree with you i work in a barbershop and the people there are always helping me they’re a real one but i feel like sometimes it’s a lot of pressure on me but i know throughout time it’ll get easier
@@matthewsdeoliveira7902 just remember that building a skill like barbering is a marathon not a sprint! Embrace the hard awkward beginning and master your craft over time. Just speak with your clients make a connection and they’ll grow with you in the chair. Good luck 💈🍀
@@matthewsdeoliveira7902 I’m the same bro,I’m 17 working at a shop and it kills my mood sometimes when I know I can do a lot better but I don’t show it, I appreciate my coworkers who are better than me giving me tips and I don’t look at it as a bad way, I enjoy them judging my work to improve
This is a really inspiring video man! What a great story. From humble beginnings to humble success, it's so great to see that your mindset didn't change throughout those challenges bro. Keep doing what you do man; you're an inspiration to a lot of us beginner barbers out here! 🙏🇵🇭
Big bossio!!! You also gotta remember Covid had everybody in the house watching all types of shit. Your videos always been banging to me, but you know what I mean. We all was just in the house watching haircut videos, self cut videos. We went without cuts for months so something had to be done lmao. You good big homie, keep grindin 💪🏾🤟🏽
I did Keep that in mind I’m not talking about just the past year tho. I’m talking about the historical s on my channel as well the last couple months have been worst performing in 4 years
Thanks for the Helpful tips! These are always my favorite videos. I'm currently in barber school and I feel like I'm at a stand still, Dragging it A long when I know I should be putting in more effort. I'm constantly watching videos to help me build, learn the craft better and be efficient. I've been following you since I started my journey and nothing but knowledge and helpful ways in the industry. Excited to see you at the SL Beauty and Barber Expo next month!
Needed this!!! You said it took you two years… I’m slowly coming along and sometimes I get discouraged cause I’m single parenting and my time is so divided!!!!
Hi brother Chris thanks for this video going to show it to my class tomorrow to up lift and and motivate them to make the best in there learning experience this is my first Barber school class and have a few Dysfunctional students but the profession has been good to me full and part time 37 years it is a blessing to give back hope we meet again soon stay up young man.
Bro the same way you’re describing barber school for yourself is the same bs I’m dealing with right now. Making bs money so I can survive in transitional living. Just out here FIGHTING to make it. 😂 But I’m starting to fall in love with this profession.. this truly makes me think all of this work I’m putting in is gonna be worth it. Thank you for sharing your story man..this motivates me a lot..
Yo! I know this ain't even the place to talk about this, but man! I felt this! especially the beginning like I got my wife, 4 kids she hasn't worked in 6 years because she already knows I'll do all I can to make sure we're good, I remember putting barbering aside an having to sell all of my clippers just to make rent. I almost gave up because when I got them I put all I had into them at the time, and just this year we caught a break.. like a big break! an I was able to get more clippers an actually pay to finally start barbering school. People please appreciate this his truth he's telling because mannnn... I feel like to even catch a break and to have this opportunity to finally be able to do this I don't wanna let my wife down, my kids down or god down for blessing me with this break.. Dope story! Thank you!
Facts 6 hours everyday for 2 years during high school I watched UA-cam 😭 junior and senior year. Now I deadass have bars , it was worth it . Still watching videos till this day
Man I been here sense before the shave gel. I honestly enjoy the business and financial classes the most but much success with whatever direction you choose 💯
None of your videos it’s a waste of time for me bro. I’m about to take my state exam and you just motivate me even more thanks man for sharing all your videos. God bless you and your family
Watching an following from the uk bro been watching you about a year 💪 I made the leap an went to evening class for barbering at recently qualified at 30 years young 😁 your grind gives me that inspiration to grind an practice to perfect the art 👌 respect to you for that 😎
I loved the video honestly. I’m about to enroll in barber school this fall but I haven’t got to cut actual heads in some time because of covid and it was a bit off putting about my passion for cutting. I love where you want to head with the chanel because I feel like if I learn the basics, what to study for specifically, how to prepare, from one of the GOAT’s then i’ll be more prepared/ motivated. I can handle my own with a pair of clippers any day. We love what you are doing Chris and I want to say thank you for all the gems and knowledge you’ve given not just to me, but anybody else out there like me. Keep up the great work I’ll be here every video like always ❤️
I just started at Supercuts and I go to work have anxiety and still get through the day and come home and still practice on my doll heads just so I can feel like I’m doing a decent cut ! I appreciate this video so much is give me MO
Ima day one subscriber and I’m finally going to go to barber college after 5 years of contemplating about it. Thank God Almighty, would really appreciate some more of this type of content.
U a big inspiration bro. U & the whole tomb 45 squad have played a BIG role in my motivation forward. I just started back at barber college after a lengthy leave. But I just wanted to thank you for your content bro keep up the good work G💪🏼✊🏼
Whomever didn’t like this video 🗣YA’LL NEED TO GO! I just graduated cosmetology school and I’m working at a Supercuts and struggling. Thanks this the push I needed. New subscriber.
Day 1s still here, still hopin eventually i can make a livin barbering. Can relate to all this, not bein able to provide will break yuh dwn but its encouraging to hear youve gon tru it as well and got to were yuh at. I think goin back to basics will get yuh to 500k in no time!
Always inspirational bossio. Only thing stopping me from going to barber school is the pandemic, money and my dad. Barely got back to work after a year so I’m saving money. My dad doesn’t let me bring anyone to the house to practice cause of covid and he’s pretty discouraging about barbering but he sure does love his own personal free haircuts from me🙄😂
i’m in the exact same situation man, my dad and my little brother are my number one clients and they’ll let me work outside of the house but not cut any hair. I know how it can be so keep your head up we’re gonna be up next soon enough ❤️
this was much needed man!!!! very helpful advice to get back on track keep this series going for the barber school students much love stay blessed yall
Love you Bossio. Your free content is invaluable to my development as a student barber. But I see the trends within the barber community and tbh I for one don’t like clickbait thumbnails or titles as an example. At a time when I’m trying to learn as much as I can, I for one am one who immediately loses interest when I’m mislead with a title or thumbnail. That’s a general statement. Not to say you’re not teaching me everyday because again you’re making me a better barber everyday and I’ll always be loyal to those who show love to us aspiring barbers but I see this trend not just in your channel but on most barber channels I follow and even outside of barbering period on social media. And I get it that’s just the world we live in this day and getting the clicks. But don’t water your quality down. Like you conveyed just be true to your craft and genuine nature and you don’t gotta worry about your loyal following. Love you Bossio keep doing you. We all got a story and you’re a real one. You do for those you love and in return they’ll love you. 💯
This vid hit home. Great great great video....Ive been following you for a bit and this vid makes you more human or less of a giant in a good way. Definitely motivating.
Man this is god send g I needed to hear this going to school next month and contemplating if it's the right decision this was my confirmation thank you 💯
Just started a couple months ago cutting hair and it’s been tough finding people but I know ima get to the level I want but u just showed that I can make it man, great vid tho and just keep up the good content 💯👊🏽
Sheesh man, idk why I started getting emotional towards the end but very good story. I'm in a similar position (no baby yet) but I do have a wife, and I just feel stuck in not knowing what direction to take. Get my barber license, or cosmetology license. In a rough patch of not knowing what to do with my life, but this really connected the dots for me.
September hopefully I start. Was supposed to be October but couldn’t afford it for then. I am definitely one of those all night content pheins. Lol. I’m going into school with experience in the shop and good skills I have applied from your channel.
Long time subscriber. Tuned out when it was a lot of "react" videos. Those weren't bad but if I wanted to see those vids I'd just go to that channel to watch. I'm into your videos that are about Bossio's journey, your original content, your haircuts.
Good video bro I’m a student barber myself in my last 200 hours and the struggle is real. I’m moving from Dallas to Tampa next yr. I would like to come thru and chop it up with you when I come down there to visit.
I graduated barber school 3 months ago. You kept me grinding through my year of barber school. Some days it was torture but tbh you kept me in it as a new barber learning to cut. Appreciate you!

I’ve seen mediocre barbers take other barber’s clients because of great customer service. A lot of barbers around here don’t respect people’s time.
Most customers will take a 7/10 cut with a friendly barber than a 10/10 haircut w an asshole

I literally just finished school and waiting to retest (failed my first test) but can’t wait to retest and crush that 💩! Anyway bro long story long, I still watch your videos but I agree that your main audience will always be new barbers/student’s. It might get repetitive like you said but if you want your channel to keep growing that’s what you will have to do. But anyway thanks for all that you do. You’re a true inspiration of what the Barber game can provide when you decide to work hard and treat barbering for what it is, a real career!
Sooo spot on with what your saying. I'm going to barber school and its just like that. I was about to quit but I meditated on it and talk to some close friends and family on what was going on and ultimately I decided to just keep at it and get my degree .
Any time I need some inspiration and push to keep grinding, your videos do it for me Bossio. I’m in Barber school right now and it’s very relatable to what you spoke on but I know if I keep that focus and grind mentality the sky is the limit. Thanks a lot man even before I knew I wanted to be a Barber I watched your videos and they always lit a fire in me. You’re much appreciated and keep doing what you do!
Yoo 😂🤣, I got pulled over omw to barberschool, literally started crying. The stress is reaL
Bro I’m in school rn and I needed this dawg fr. Definitely lookin forward to more content on school cuz I feel the same way, I should be getting more out of my school than what I get, but when I speak up, I get shut down. Just waitin for these few months to pass.
I start barber school hopefully in the next 2 months. Like anybody I got on UA-cam and tried to get a head start. Along the way I found your videos… and like others I feel blessed to have all this knowledge coming into the industry. Above all you have motivated and inspired me to already want to be a better version of myself! Thank you for what you do! I’ll be following you throughout my journey! Hopefully you come to Texas soon!
I loved this one bossio. The leaves on the trees come and go as the season do. But the roots are there forever
Im headed to barber school this December, ive been cutting since freshman year and im 18 now, so im happy with the advantage I’ll have knowing as much as i do already, your vids really helped me out a lot especially with doing scissor work💯
Big respect bro! I was in barber school last year and there was one kid in our class who had that same skill set and experience like you do. It ended up setting him back, he started skipping classes and refusing cuts at the school because he thought he had nothing more to learn. Keep learning bro, best to stay modest even though you’ll be better than your class mates. Always something they can teach you, go in with that open mind and you’ll come out even better🔥🔥🔥
He works at super clips now, and everyone else from the school is in local barbershops⚡️⚡️
@@cwinger362 ofc bro theres always more to learn no matter how good you think you are💯
How much is barber school
@@Jonathan-di8tw depends where you go but the majority are like 16-20 k
Man I graduate barber school tomorrow and I can't wait to get my state boards done and get into a shop. It was a rough road for sure. Got kicked out because of attendance and got back in and now it's almost over. Your videos have always been great encouragement and taught me tons of stuff about cutting hair. Appreciate you homie!
Day ones still rock wit chu ,been here since your barber station breakdown years and years back keep inspiring big bro
I appreciate the real ness of this video
Great video man. I also remember the feeling of finally finishing barber school and getting the license. It was the best feeling for me after getting out of the Army. I’m Barber Instructor now and trying to keep students motivated, right now I’m in a weird position but soon I’ll be back in person. Keep doing what you’re doing man. Respect 💈💯
Shout out Chris Bossio and Everyone. Never Quit ‼️
Love love love this content! Thanks for the extra push man and reminding me why I got started with school in the first place!
I’m in barber school now and I come back to this video to really remember why I’m doing this 💪🏽💈
im 18 and working at my first barbershop and i can’t lie im struggling and today was one of those off days for a barber and it definitely brought my confidence down for the day but i’m still learning and i know it’s gonna get better but man it’s not easy
I am in the same boat bro but I feel like you talk to your clients and make them feel comfortable you feel comfortable and the haircut comes out badasss . If your young at 18 sometimes people’s egos will get in the way from letting you do a good job . Just my personal opinion! All I can say bro is we got this and we can grow 💪🏻💈
@@jfadezz1699 i agree with you i work in a barbershop and the people there are always helping me they’re a real one but i feel like sometimes it’s a lot of pressure on me but i know throughout time it’ll get easier
@@matthewsdeoliveira7902 just remember that building a skill like barbering is a marathon not a sprint! Embrace the hard awkward beginning and master your craft over time. Just speak with your clients make a connection and they’ll grow with you in the chair. Good luck 💈🍀
@@TheJeffrey75 thank you man thanks for the advice can’t wait to go through this journey in barbering
@@matthewsdeoliveira7902 I’m the same bro,I’m 17 working at a shop and it kills my mood sometimes when I know I can do a lot better but I don’t show it, I appreciate my coworkers who are better than me giving me tips and I don’t look at it as a bad way, I enjoy them judging my work to improve
Haven’t watched the video but before anything we appreciate you and the content goat I just already know this video is full of gems 🙏🏼
This is a really inspiring video man! What a great story. From humble beginnings to humble success, it's so great to see that your mindset didn't change throughout those challenges bro. Keep doing what you do man; you're an inspiration to a lot of us beginner barbers out here! 🙏🇵🇭
Big bossio!!! You also gotta remember Covid had everybody in the house watching all types of shit. Your videos always been banging to me, but you know what I mean. We all was just in the house watching haircut videos, self cut videos. We went without cuts for months so something had to be done lmao. You good big homie, keep grindin 💪🏾🤟🏽
I did Keep that in mind I’m not talking about just the past year tho. I’m talking about the historical s on my channel as well the last couple months have been worst performing in 4 years
Thanks for the Helpful tips! These are always my favorite videos.
I'm currently in barber school and I feel like I'm at a stand still, Dragging it A long when I know I should be putting in more effort. I'm constantly watching videos to help me build, learn the craft better and be efficient. I've been following you since I started my journey and nothing but knowledge and helpful ways in the industry.
Excited to see you at the SL Beauty and Barber Expo next month!
Needed this!!! You said it took you two years…
I’m slowly coming along and sometimes I get discouraged cause I’m single parenting and my time is so divided!!!!
Hi brother Chris thanks for this video going to show it to my class tomorrow to up lift and and motivate them to make the best in there learning experience this is my first Barber school class and have a few Dysfunctional students but the profession has been good to me full and part time 37 years it is a blessing to give back hope we meet again soon stay up young man.
Bro the same way you’re describing barber school for yourself is the same bs I’m dealing with right now. Making bs money so I can survive in transitional living. Just out here FIGHTING to make it. 😂 But I’m starting to fall in love with this profession.. this truly makes me think all of this work I’m putting in is gonna be worth it. Thank you for sharing your story man..this motivates me a lot..
Thanks Chris Bossio for the encouragement just got in Barber school
Yo! I know this ain't even the place to talk about this, but man! I felt this! especially the beginning like I got my wife, 4 kids she hasn't worked in 6 years because she already knows I'll do all I can to make sure we're good, I remember putting barbering aside an having to sell all of my clippers just to make rent. I almost gave up because when I got them I put all I had into them at the time, and just this year we caught a break.. like a big break! an I was able to get more clippers an actually pay to finally start barbering school. People please appreciate this his truth he's telling because mannnn... I feel like to even catch a break and to have this opportunity to finally be able to do this I don't wanna let my wife down, my kids down or god down for blessing me with this break.. Dope story! Thank you!
Facts 6 hours everyday for 2 years during high school I watched UA-cam 😭 junior and senior year. Now I deadass have bars , it was worth it . Still watching videos till this day
Man I been here sense before the shave gel. I honestly enjoy the business and financial classes the most but much success with whatever direction you choose 💯
None of your videos it’s a waste of time for me bro. I’m about to take my state exam and you just motivate me even more thanks man for sharing all your videos. God bless you and your family
Man! I'm always locked in on tutorials been a licensed barber for 2 weeks now starting in a shop this week I got to make it happen for my family
Watching an following from the uk bro been watching you about a year 💪
I made the leap an went to evening class for barbering at recently qualified at 30 years young 😁 your grind gives me that inspiration to grind an practice to perfect the art 👌 respect to you for that 😎
I loved the video honestly. I’m about to enroll in barber school this fall but I haven’t got to cut actual heads in some time because of covid and it was a bit off putting about my passion for cutting. I love where you want to head with the chanel because I feel like if I learn the basics, what to study for specifically, how to prepare, from one of the GOAT’s then i’ll be more prepared/ motivated. I can handle my own with a pair of clippers any day. We love what you are doing Chris and I want to say thank you for all the gems and knowledge you’ve given not just to me, but anybody else out there like me. Keep up the great work I’ll be here every video like always ❤️
I just started at Supercuts and I go to work have anxiety and still get through the day and come home and still practice on my doll heads just so I can feel like I’m doing a decent cut ! I appreciate this video so much is give me MO
Watching from Belize.....love watching your videos
Def come with more heat of staying in school and just grinding it out 💪🏾 Do the time , don’t let the time do you
Ima day one subscriber and I’m finally going to go to barber college after 5 years of contemplating about it. Thank God Almighty, would really appreciate some more of this type of content.
Your channel motivates me to start barber school so much I’m gonna call the school near me tomorrow! Thanks a lot
Definitely motivating and inspiring to hear your story. Big idol to many barbers in the barber industry
U a big inspiration bro. U & the whole tomb 45 squad have played a BIG role in my motivation forward. I just started back at barber college after a lengthy leave. But I just wanted to thank you for your content bro keep up the good work G💪🏼✊🏼
Hella inspirational bro, you're the reason im a barber now. I cant wait to meet you in person man. You foreal changed my life man
Whomever didn’t like this video 🗣YA’LL NEED TO GO! I just graduated cosmetology school and I’m working at a Supercuts and struggling. Thanks this the push I needed. New subscriber.
I didn’t do well at SuperCuts either, any update? 😊
I watch more barber tutorials than I watch any media entertainment. just luv it free insights, free knowledge, and it makes me better at cutting.
Day 1s still here, still hopin eventually i can make a livin barbering. Can relate to all this, not bein able to provide will break yuh dwn but its encouraging to hear youve gon tru it as well and got to were yuh at. I think goin back to basics will get yuh to 500k in no time!
I’ve only did 1 fade about 10 years ago ! I’m enrolling in barber school at 25 ! Hope it comes naturally !
Always inspirational bossio. Only thing stopping me from going to barber school is the pandemic, money and my dad. Barely got back to work after a year so I’m saving money. My dad doesn’t let me bring anyone to the house to practice cause of covid and he’s pretty discouraging about barbering but he sure does love his own personal free haircuts from me🙄😂
i’m in the exact same situation man, my dad and my little brother are my number one clients and they’ll let me work outside of the house but not cut any hair. I know how it can be so keep your head up we’re gonna be up next soon enough ❤️
@@davidlowery7628 hell yea thanks bro you too🙏🏼
Currently going through barber school now and this makes me want to keep pushing cuz it’s definitely isn’t easy but hearing this gave me hope
I needed this! Im taking state board in a couple months and the struggle is REAL! I appreciate the perspective. Not much different from mine.
this was much needed man!!!! very helpful advice to get back on track keep this series going for the barber school students much love stay blessed yall
Boss man it’s my 1st year cutting hair i will be back here again to update myself. Preparation before luck. Hard work not motivation.

We still here fam !💪🏽💪🏽
Crazy to be able to relate to so many people going thru the same stuff
THANK U FOR SHOUTTIN OUT TO THE FEMALE BARBERS!!!
Love this, amazing story
Day 1 still here 🙏🏽
Real genuine video bro, much respect for telling us your story
Keep making these type of videos man, really felt a connection there bro.
👏🏾👏🏾✊🏾 Thank you for sharing the real brother…you dropped a lot of value
Damn man. This video hit me pretty hard. Deff gave me hope & motivation that I will find a light at the end of the tunnel.
You’re an inspiration bro. Thank you for sharing your story. Keep going 🙏🏽🔥
Love you Bossio. Your free content is invaluable to my development as a student barber. But I see the trends within the barber community and tbh I for one don’t like clickbait thumbnails or titles as an example. At a time when I’m trying to learn as much as I can, I for one am one who immediately loses interest when I’m mislead with a title or thumbnail. That’s a general statement. Not to say you’re not teaching me everyday because again you’re making me a better barber everyday and I’ll always be loyal to those who show love to us aspiring barbers but I see this trend not just in your channel but on most barber channels I follow and even outside of barbering period on social media. And I get it that’s just the world we live in this day and getting the clicks. But don’t water your quality down. Like you conveyed just be true to your craft and genuine nature and you don’t gotta worry about your loyal following. Love you Bossio keep doing you. We all got a story and you’re a real one. You do for those you love and in return they’ll love you. 💯
This vid hit home. Great great great video....Ive been following you for a bit and this vid makes you more human or less of a giant in a good way. Definitely motivating.
U are describing me to a tee, failure isn't a option u will know me as a barber on your level when its all settled 💯
Man this is god send g I needed to hear this going to school next month and contemplating if it's the right decision this was my confirmation thank you 💯
Bro I was in co springs Paul Mitchell school and it was so terrible, I ended up transferring. Thanks for the video good come up
Thanks for the motivation bro, gotta keep pushing
youre inspiring bossio
been waiting for a video of you speaking on this! perfect timing my boy! 💈
Just started a couple months ago cutting hair and it’s been tough finding people but I know ima get to the level I want but u just showed that I can make it man, great vid tho and just keep up the good content 💯👊🏽
Man I’m so upset I had to cancel my trip to the expo. I was super excited to learn from you
Sheesh man, idk why I started getting emotional towards the end but very good story. I'm in a similar position (no baby yet) but I do have a wife, and I just feel stuck in not knowing what direction to take. Get my barber license, or cosmetology license. In a rough patch of not knowing what to do with my life, but this really connected the dots for me.
Respect brotha 🙏🏽
September hopefully I start. Was supposed to be October but couldn’t afford it for then. I am definitely one of those all night content pheins. Lol. I’m going into school with experience in the shop and good skills I have applied from your channel.
Long time subscriber. Tuned out when it was a lot of "react" videos. Those weren't bad but if I wanted to see those vids I'd just go to that channel to watch. I'm into your videos that are about Bossio's journey, your original content, your haircuts.
Thank you bro 💈
Love your videos bro‼️ not a wasted of time 🤝
Good video bro I’m a student barber myself in my last 200 hours and the struggle is real. I’m moving from Dallas to Tampa next yr. I would like to come thru and chop it up with you when I come down there to visit.
Crazy cause I needed to hear this. Thank u bro. You a real one. 💯✊🏽💪🏽💈💇🏻♂️
