Hello! I am a stylist. I offer both womens and mens cuts, colors, ect. but I really enjoy mens cuts. Its a good way to make extra $ btw color services. I feel pretty confident w/ my mens cuts. However I have a friend who goes to a barber but asked if I could start cutting his hair. He has thick Hispanic hair. Lets be honest there is a difference btw a barbers fade and a hairdresseres fade. There are things that they teach in barber school that they don't at beauty school. Is it the clipper that gives such a flawless cut or is there a special technique or is it both? Does anyone know of any dvd how to's? Thanks

The hair should blend, with no lines, no lines.... You can achieve this by a couple means, 1) clipper over comb, 2) blade adjustments, the little arm on the side, finishing out with clipper over comb.  I for one, clip, then blend, doing  clipper over comb as this was how I was taught.  There are some tapes out there, I had a couple years ago, so I know they are out there.  Good luck, remember practice makes perfect...
