It’s the 4 I also joined your school you guys have great tips and gems to provide thank you for everything that you guys are doing for the industry keep up the good work
Hey Ken 😉 Anyone in the business of hair should be familiar with everyone’s texture. That’s how you make your hair money. Years ago I was jacked up by a white hairstylist. She left me with a mohawk but I rocked it. His cut is really nice 😍
Hi 4th from England loved the vid it was a brilliant cut ! as always ur fab barber ! Always look forward to ur vids ! Can't wait to see the new shop! Peace !
But……… your experience speaks for itself. When I first saw you, I knew you were mixed; then I saw your work (devoted), and I said, ‘You are the bomb.com.’ He’s in good hands 👍🏽😊
Haircare professionals have come a long way, but there is still often a racial divide. I am a 63 YO white man with plain straight salt and pepper hair, which I wear short (back and sides cut usually with a 3, sometimes with a 2). Not all that long ago I walked into a Black barber shop and not 1 Black barber would cut my hair. I then tried a Great Clips and a Black female stylist did not hesitate to cut my hair. It got me thinking about the racial divide in salons and hair care.
It baffles me that there is still this. Everybody’s money spends the same. I run businesses. Not barber shops. I’m in food service. I seriously cannot imagine trying to tell all the Hispanic and black people around we don’t want to make food for them. Ideally we should all operate our businesses that everybody is welcome no matter skin tone. But then I realize that every ethnicity has different hair and in barbering and cosmetology world that requires education and practice. I know in my areas we lack hair professionals for black hair. Yet every single black cosmetologist knows how to do white hair. Schools need to do better about giving students a well rounded education instead of just focussing on white hair.
In a lot of countries hairdressing and barbering are apprenticeship trades. You might learn some theory about all hair textures in the college hours part of the apprenticeship but you're only going to get experience with the textures cut at the shop you do your work hours in. I can understand someone being reluctant to cut when they've got inadequate experience in a particular texture. Maybe the local hair trade organisations should consider organising a program of temporary employee exchanges for shops that want to broaden their customer base.
It's nothing new. But I think it has more to do with age than skin color. Young barbers just don't want seniors as customers. I went into a Spanish barbershop, two barbers sitting and the owner cutting. The two barbers ran out the back so I waited for the owner. After the haircut the other two returned. I paid for my haircut and gave the owner a $20 tip.
@@martinschinedu3173Yep, it comes down to hair texture. People who only do one type of hair might not want to do another because they're inexperienced in it, then they don't gain experience and it's a vicious cycle.
No lie best cuts I ever had were from this white guy from New York he wasn't even that much older than me too. First time I sat in his chair i was focused on the mirror and when i couldn't see the mirror I was looking at my reflection through the black screen on my phone😂😂. I never once got a bad cut from him though but he ended up getting strung out a while back unfortunately. I switched directly back to the Dominican barbers
He took a chance and it worked out. As a black man, I’ve never had a ‘white’ barber mess my hair up. But I’ve had a black barber that totally ignored what I told him and chopped my waves off. I saw it and started screaming!!
I've gotten the best cuts w Puerto Rican barbers. They know how to shear cut coily hair. Black barbers are quick to use clippers and that doesn't give an even cut bc the hair needs to be pulled taut.
I don't recall 4 saying what his ethnicity is, just what people have assumed about him. Whatever he is, he cuts TF out of every hair texture. I'm definitely letting my hair grow out so I can get in his chair. My barber(s) have never asked me any of the stuff 4 asks his clients; and they definitely ain't mentioned C cups. Nobody goes in depth like he does.
I understand he didn’t want to cut or trim the beard but a trim would have cleaned it up a bit. Freehand, I think you call it? But the haircut looks amazing
Curly hair or African hair, whatever u want to call it is easier than straight hair. Obviously. That's why it's our favorite texture to cut. I wanna see alot of them "superstar" barbers go and cut a whole day at an only Asian client barbershop. Just to see how goooooood they really are lol
Your title says he doesn't trust me because I'm a white barber lol That's sad since when do we start judging people for the color of their skin praise God I don't you did a great job on his haircut and you proved yourself one again young man can't nobody tell you s*** or say s*** keep doing your thing bro

Would you go to an Asian Barber? Don’t lie
I would
Do you mean the full continent... orrr just East Asia like every other fucking western does
@@the4thkenyou would cuz you have straight hair, trust me, I have 4C hair, I barely wanna go to the Dominicans sometimes
They’re beast in Cali!
No 😂tbh
The title had me baffled ngl! 😂
fr
Who else thinks it's been dope to watch Ken upgrades to the shop and his equipment! Its been real low key over the years.
The cut was fire as usual!! I would expect nothing less
No lie, you can pass as a light skin Hispanic white man.
facts!
That's what I always thought
I swear he was mixed. I saw him cut his grandpa and figured he was mixed
I see light skin. He’s definitely half like the client looks
@@laclipps1
Sometimes light skins are called “white” by African Americans. Think of Rick Ross dissing Drake in Champagne Moments
It’s the 4 I also joined your school you guys have great tips and gems to provide thank you for everything that you guys are doing for the industry keep up the good work
Thanks for joining bro! Glad you find it helpful
Sheeeeeeesh..."on dope" to "dopeboy"....salute ken!! 💯

Same can be said when a black dude walks into a white barber shop, I’ve experienced that in the past.

You set his freckles off! Beautiful work...
🔥🔥✂️🔥🔥
Bruh that blend is epic!!!
Homie a real artist, makes it look effortless 🤘🏽
May the Lord be your refuge .
Great cut...like how you handled my man hook.As usual you made him look like a new man💈✂️
Fire as always! Yo titles are always wild but I get why for engagement 🤣🤣🤣 cause I'm like.....i KNOW he half Black?? 😂
Once you see the foam you in the zone(hairlada) 🔥 as always!
Too CLEAN!!

Super crisp❤❤. If you stayed in Illinois, I would most definitely send my husband your wat.
His hair texture ❤❤❤❤❤
And the cut was 🔥🔥🔥🔥
4th Ken log tufff🔥can’t wait to see your new hair products
A complete transformation. Xx
I always thought Ken was Puerto Rican 😅
Respect. Damn good job
Watching you do the back of his head was relaxing and kinda artistic how you did his hair!
Dang, doesn't get any better than that. That's an A+, 10 out of 10, all the way. Dude is ready for his wedding, or daughter's wedding, or something.
is the title clickbait?
Right I'm so confused 🤔
Right
It’s cause he been cutting a lot of white people hair so that’s the reason for the title.
This Ethnically Ambiguous person thought you were one, too! 🤣🙏🕊️
Ur really skilled not an easy hair texture
That soft roast is on point ahaha, respectfully roasting ,... it would look like a mountain
If you're White, I'm transparent. But seriously, you have passion for barbering, compassion and empathy for clients.
❤❤❤ yes I absolutely would, to me my heart doesn't see color!:)
Awesome ❤❤❤❤
He looked 10 years younger! Cut was fabulous!
You're pretty Dope bro. You're invited to the cookout 🍽️.
Now this is an A 1 Top Notch hair cut 5⭐️.
Brother came in looking like Vincent Laresca aka radames from the movie juice 😂🤣
It never occurred to me that you were white. You are just that dude.....period ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yes, I have had a haircut from a Vietnamese barber. He was good.
For me the title makes me think
If he didn't trust you why even come to you to get a haircut? Ijs anyways fire cut as usual
He took a chance and it worked out. As a black man, I’ve never had a ‘white’ barber mess my hair up. But I’ve had a black barber that totally ignored what I told him and chopped my waves off. I saw it and started screaming!!
@TheDlj60 man thats crazy to hear
So clean & precise - SHARP. IMO it would have really looked nice to have his beard thinned out but I get it some dudes like the fluffy!
Totally agree, appreciate you!
I've gotten the best cuts w Puerto Rican barbers. They know how to shear cut coily hair. Black barbers are quick to use clippers and that doesn't give an even cut bc the hair needs to be pulled taut.
MY GOODNESS, YOU ARE THE HOUDINI OF THE BARBER'S!!
This guy is in the Barber's stratosphere. Nothing normal about him..trust🎉👏🙌🙌🏆🏆
Not that it actually matter I was thinking you was black 😮 The cut is 🔥 🔥 🔥
im black and white
@@the4thken ok, I understand "EITHER OR"
Beauuuutiful fade!!! (Why won't they let you clean up their beards, tho??)
5 months later and my hair still looks good since the last time I cut it😁
Outstanding 😊

I mean you can gauge the rhythm of a person by conversation
To those upset about the title: The client perceived Ken as a barber for white CLIENTS.
Me going onto 4th's Instagram looking at old videos confused as hell about this title 😂
Somewhere up the line a dash of pepper was added
hahahahahaa im black and white
@@the4thken lol thank you for clarifying because I was gaslighting my damn self 😂
Well i an a girl it would not care
How cut if they do a good job
And he did awesome job for this
Man❤
Yes I most def would. There are Asians with curly hair💇🏾♂️
Superb ❤
What is the name of the foam he uses to lay down the hair??
He’d look so much better with a trimmed beard tho☺️
I understand he didn’t want to cut or trim the beard but a trim would have cleaned it up a bit. Freehand, I think you call it? But the haircut looks amazing
How long did this cut take???
I low key don't cut any clients hair without having gloves on. It makes most customers way more comfortable. Imo
Them fools be cappin hell ppl didn’t even start washing their hands good till covid hit 😂
no meat on his cheeks no didy!
NO DIDDY
Insane!!!
This barber is white, but knows his craft..❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
He looks handsome. I don't give a damn what your race is!!
Nice job. What's the name of the foam you use to lay the hair down?
4 USA a Ninja all day. 😂
This video really struck me that you're painting with blades.
I'm in the Philly area.
Yessir! 🤘🏻

Does it matter? Talent is talented and you are talented. Just saying.
What type of haircut is this usually called?
Big bro looks like Lyfe Jennings. 🤣
Must be nice
Wow he does have that big hump in the back and I like how you cut it based on the shape of the head
Does anyone know what foam he uses?
Niice!!!🔥
That occipital bone is crazy. Honestly, his head shape would look better with more hair on the back and sides with just a taper
That's what I keep telling this guy! 💯 He always sicks his trolls on me when I bring it up! He does this all the time! 😰🙄
What’s your opinion on jrl clippers
Do you do house calls??
What camera do you use for recording?
This black guy sure have a lot of Freckles, you can tell he has European undertones.❤
..........."y...yup"
💈 🔥
Yo another one, you have a course for Dads cutting their son’s hair….
Your title says he doesn't trust me because I'm a white barber lol That's sad since when do we start judging people for the color of their skin praise God I don't you did a great job on his haircut and you proved yourself one again young man can't nobody tell you s*** or say s*** keep doing your thing bro
He needs glasses asap
I thought you were Hispanic but I can also see by your hair texture you’re mixed
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯💯💯
Can I pay to get a cut. Please. I'm in the Philadelphia area 😩
It doesn't matter... you cut hair well.
Dope cutt
