Not talking about your homie or family member.

Who was it, what do they do, and did the shoutout actually bring you any clients?
Be honest: worth it or waste of a haircut?

Im 31 and have been a barber for 12 years now in australia. I was trained by a very "old school" guy and he always taught me the value of the finish of a haircut. The small taper on the edges, the importance of a good blow dry and proper scissor techniques as well as clipper ove rcomb and scissor over comb. The value of a good line up. But nowadays I find the newer barbers just dont care about this at all, its like they are only focused on doing fades and can't do anything else. Am I just getting old or you guys also finding this is happening. Is it just an Australian thing?

I keep buying cheap clippers and keep getting cheap clipper results. The main use is for hair and I would prefer a wireless set, but I'd be good with wired if they work well. Can anyone recommend some? Wahl just isn't cutting it for me anymore. Too many missed hairs.

Mine keep snagging specifically behind the ear when lining around ears. I’ve readjusted the blades and oiled them. Nothing seems to make it better.
