Finally! Someone gets it and can explain it with diagrams and everything!!! Thank you so much! My idea was using reflective tiles on my ceiling. My studio is small and my ceiling is low.
I have been cutting hair for 46 yrs., and I will tell you the best lighting is just a good old fashioned florescent double strip light on the ceiling slightly behind the patrons head, with enough lenth to shine on both sides of their head as well. Then supplementing that with small florescent strips (maybe 2 ft) on each side of the mirror behind the patrons head so that it lights up behind and slightly to the side of their ears. Typical traditional set up that they have been doing for many decades in most barber shops.
@@kominio Most barbers cut the patrons hair facing away from the mirror. So, the lights on each side of the mirror project light to the back of the patron's head, and somewhat behind each ear. The mirror is a tool for the barber to get perspective when cutting the back of the patron's head. I do like to also have a mirror on the opposite wall so the patron can watch while getting his hair cut. But some shops are in a room too wide for the mirror across on the opposite wall to be easily seen by the patron as he gets his hair cut. In this case a barber may cut the hair with the patron facing the backbar, and then turn the patron around when it is time to get a good perspective on the back.
What if the walls are grey, and there is no ceiling because of the open loft design? Are there ways to have a similar affect with lights pointed at the walls/corners?
First of all, thanks for the great content! Second, are your lights are connected in a parallel or serial circuit, and are they hardwired or go into a plug? Thanks!
In my office here I haven’t had any issues with the bulbs, same as in my house, but at my salon the bulbs are a nightmare because the wifi is often weak. I think in the salon we’re likely going to switch from these smart lights to some 5500k LED bulbs in our photo area
Blow dry after ADH Dry. I flat wrapped everything from the apex back to get that stuff to lay more smoothly then I used a Denman brush to lift and bend the front half. The very front was over directed downward with hot air then pushed into place with cold air
In my little office here I’ve had no major issues, but the wifi is decent. However, we got some of these lights at my salon and I think due to poor wifi the bulbs rarely actually do what we want them to do, it’s a completely different experience than what I’ve gone through in my home and office with the bulbs. Also important to note that they updated the app a year or so ago, and the V2 app is absolute garbage, I went back to V1 after two days of being frustrated with the new version
This is so great helped me out so much. Thank you, Andrew.

Hmmm, so would recommend the old bulbs or these? I’m having such a hard time picking which one I want, I don’t care about the price on it

What do you mean "each side of the mirror, behind client"? If you put strips in mirrors sides its going to be in front of the client, right?

Who designed or created your backdrop? It’s nice 🔥
I’m currently waiting to get my studio set up in my garden in August and this has helped me so much! Always amazing content!
Do your styling chair place across the light or below the light?

I tried it out, the lights you recommended and I didn’t really like it. It’s only good when you have good connection with your wifi

I know this has nothing to do with lighting. but I just wanna ask how do u achieve such volume in the mannequin hair?

I have a 50x70 soft box and a ceiling light for a little barber salon. Its enough? Or what should i do?
What if my walls are pink Will the light still bounce off walls
Do you still recommend this setup for a small studio? Any issues with the bulbs?

@@andrewdoeshair Would you recommend just using other 💡?
Thanks for sharing
For hair shop. Should it be 3000k or 4000k ? Warm or cold?
I use smart bulbs to change it as need be, but before I had those I used 5600k
Love this!!!
Thank you so much !!!!!
