very mountain man-ish you know compliments from who the the people i work with oh okay yeah your wife likes this she does does she really she does yeah she like when it's cleaned up though uh yeah she always says every time i come home she always says it looks totally different i look like a different person you do look like a different person right before i could have i actually did the wife wants me to grow it out so that and as you can tell there's a lot of gray coming in she wants to see the grapes she wants the the santa look all right yeah very that's her ultimate her ultimate goal it's not mine but yeah why not yeah i don't know if i could do that why not i don't know today is a is a um it's a devastating uh day in the uh household why is that well the crazy wind we had last night blew over my rabbit hutch of course and the lid popped off yes and the rabbit escaped oh no so we i noticed it this morning we went on a little search party and we found some fur so our rabbit is no longer yeah i was gonna say yeah that's uh it's it's kind of a devastating uh pain today i want to make a lot of jokes but i'm sorry about you i know it's yeah i'm sorry my daughter is like she goes from crying and then she says i want to see it where'd she go you know so i don't know she doesn't quite understand it a little bit we made a mistake when i was growing up my sister had a whole bunch of rabbits oh yeah she's a vet now huh and i cut hair sweet so my brother's an engineer so now like mine just like you know thanksgiving sucks thanksgiving's just overall terrible um so they gave us a two male bunnies okay they mistakenly gave us a male and a female we had like 40. it was insane i yeah that's no i don't want that like you hear people say like oh yeah you know like reproduce like rabbits and stuff and then you're like yeah they really no but really they really they really go hard they know what they're doing mess around they don't mess around sorry i'm just trying to back up this whole i don't you see your wife just woke up one day was like i want chickens she's always wanted a farm and you just said like yeah i'm not busy i just work a full-time job i mean no big deal you know i just do all the work but um oh i hope she sees this i do all the outside work okay [Music] so basically what i did is i hit it with the profile down low um then i hit it with the uh clip no guard open and then kind of work my way down and fade it down into a zero i'm gonna go back and clean some stuff up and i just put my one guard on open and now i'm gonna start moving up into the fade and stuff right here why are you taking what he said you're taking notes oh yeah i'm thinking of notes right here this is really long what does baffle me about this i i don't want to switch guys do you want to go back to the whole marriage talk yes i think that's just funny in general yeah um is that you literally and we're not doing this for camera's sake right here we're not saying that for camera's sake at all i've cut you for almost three years yeah yeah yeah yeah it's you literally just don't touch it i don't you don't do anything with the weird you don't line it up yourself you don't do anything nope that baffles me i don't touch it and you're still married that's just shocking to me that's right she yep but actually we go farther back you knew my brother i did i know your family you know my family i do you don't do why what is is something coming i don't really tell people i know your brother okay yeah that's fair you know but there's actually sister your mom and dad yeah i'll tell people that there's a beard brand video of jared cutting my brother that um might be left up here i don't know maybe you think maybe probably not probably better i don't know well i know you're united but as you say maybe they might leave the link up here for my brother's haircut we look nothing alike same mother same father that's true ups i don't know all right so i'm going back to the haircut right now we're getting some deep conversations about life love in the universe yes right now uh we're getting close to this haircut man this is intense no i mean yeah physically close with this yes but also just i meant emotionally and joe i feel very comfortable i feel very connected yes yes as do i um i'm just using my half clip now and i'm just gonna start closing and opening and just kind of getting these lines out and stuff like that but i mean i guess this is part of the barber shop just kind of chit chat right right right right that's right you're coming to free beer that's right i guess yes that's why i work here yeah so now you get paid and free yeah i don't get paid a lot get paid in free beer to me a haircut is is a is a haircut beard trim all that a shave especially to me that's a luxury yeah because like you could like especially a shave like you could easily just shave your own face like right after the shower sure i used to do something special and different about like leaning back and having somebody do that oh my gosh yeah you get some power like to me like when somebody comes in a customer you're king when you sit down yes you're the guy i fi i go by whatever you tell me to do right whatever you want i'm going to do for you right i'm going to try my best to do sure yeah hopefully i do a good job right but like getting a shave there's this like this sense of power like i got my face shaved somebody did it for me it looks clean here's a smooth shade obviously absolutely and you know keeps us in business so yeah so i'm just kind of going back in and trying to get some of these some of these lines out trying to break them up a little bit with the corner of my clipper see some heavy spots here my the way i used to cut my hair like i i'm i would shave it not like straight raised but like like balding yeah like bubbles yourself i used to yeah okay where'd you take just like a clip i have a balding clippers at home that i would just buzz it i did it one day i got off work at 11. i was home by like 11 30 and i'm in my basement buzzing my hair damn i got a little mirror going like this and it worked out it's fine but i don't have to worry about anything i'm just you know any spot that looks like hair i cut i'm not trying to style it or anything like that just just haircuts in general like i have guys come to me that have like no hair and they just want like a straight buzz but i mean it's something about sitting in the chair getting somebody to do it for you that's kind of cool yeah i don't know that's just it's it's an interesting thing coming here too i mean i love coming here and you know you need to hang out we talk about the free beer and stuff whatever but i like it it's coming here this is my time first time i came here well i mean i guess it's the same equivalent of like uh people getting their nails done sure yeah i mean you could do your nails yourself you clip your nails you can do it whatever yeah but i mean having somebody do it for you is a nice feeling so i got the addiction for more tattoos i'm trying to figure out what i'm going to get next what are you feeling i don't know i got to get the kids names in there somewhere i i mean you think i mean you i just don't want to like just like go oh that's my name you know you have created that i get yeah i'm 50 mine yeah i mean maybe 80 20. i don't know what do you what do you have now how many kids know how many tattoos oh just these two i don't care about your kids um that's it what is it some uh what does it look like is that railroad what does it look like the railroad correct in a cross yes well i got the crossbar those are the spikes from the cross that crucified jesus very good awesome uh like what what's the specifics of the spikes though is i'm what i'm asking that's that's it's in a cross yes and those spikes are what nailed them okay i thought we were talking about railroads still no no no but i mean i suppose they do look like that but that's what i thought they were no okay but miner you better have a jackalope and like but they might have been the same blackjack on one hand and i got a huge thing on my chest but yeah nobody covered you guys can't see him we don't want to see that how do we want to see that oh okay maybe somebody wants to see that man well probably not the curls man there's a lot of curls oh thanks oh curls we're gonna pay big money for these girls i'll tell ya it's the curly hair they did like like you it's so hard to keep it you know when it gets when it gets yeah like when it's crazy long it's just it's like the other day i was you know i had it on my way to work or something i had the window down it's a nice day i had a window down and i'm like what's going on i feel like something's blowing on my head and i look in the mirror and like my hair is the curl is like blowing on in the winds you know i'm like i felt about my beard dude i was getting these cowlicks like touching my ear oh my gosh yeah i mean like this is crazy i mean it's nuts [Music] so what i'm going to do now is that this would look good for a nice square beard obviously we haven't done anything with the sides of the cheeks yet but joe if you want to come over here we're going to do more of an angular beard correct yep yeah yes like that like so we're gonna do more of an angular beard now these are great for a couple reasons one it's got a really great shape to it and also it's gonna be super easy to maintain so i made my guideline right there at the front i'm gonna find the corner of his jaw which is right there i'm just going to angle so basically i'm just getting rid of all of that now i'm kind of at the peak right where that almost meets it obviously get rid of all of this are you ready yeah yeah let's go and then just meet up in the middle this is me just free handing a bit just got a nice job you can come over here to this side where i'm at it's not perfect yet you see a very nice nice angle coming straight down from right there and while i'm over here i'll probably clean up this side as well uh so a couple things i see a lot of new barbers uh some people hit me up on instagram occasionally or my apprentice will ask me a lot of times is how to get these lines straight and stuff like that and the one thing i see barbers doing is that they'll go in to start their line right here and then they'll kind of keep going like this you have to take the the trimmer off of the ear or off the skin completely and kind of push it in deeper so i'm very far off right now and then i'm kind of going in and i'm just kind of matching that line and this is gonna get me get all the hairs that are next to him right now and now i can go in a little bit more shallow and get all the hairs off and that goes with long hair if you're doing it if you're doing a trim down this side if you want to get all that or if you're doing a beard as well so right now i still got all these hairs out here i gotta go farther out in order to get all these hairs off now i'm gonna take a two clip i'm just gonna go down with the grain and just try to tighten up the sides a little bit yeah your wife's gonna be pissed and touching the beard yeah they're best to you than me if i get a phone call man i'm gonna be upset i'm blaming you and i'm not going in i'm imagining that the jaw itself is actually extending down if the jaw were just straight down that's how i'm doing the clipper also i'm also imagining i'm pulling off as well all right so i still have a lot more to do on the beard right now before i do anything i always like to see shape before i start doing anything so i just want to blend this into the ball real quick and make sure that the fades on each side are good before i start doing anything else so i pick a spot in the ear i usually go right below the uh i don't remember what it's called something with the c we had to learn it for our test i can't remember what the name of it is uh if you know the name of this part right here please leave that in the comments whatever the name of this part of the ear is please thank you so i go right below that stretch the skin out all the way open and i start closing it a little bit until i get to an absolute zero then leave it open are your phone going off are you talking that's me tabbing doing a song i was like is that your phone going off are you starting to look human again man it's crazy yeah you're starting to look really like who's that guy who's that sexy guy i don't know all right so now that we can do you all right so now that we have done i've got some overall shape going on with the beard right now now i'm going to start freehanding and just really start tightening things up i can see this side's already a little bit longer and everything but let's start tightening it up so the funny thing about free handing for me is that i actually learned how to freehand by this is weird because not many people notice i actually learned how to freehand by watching mahesh cut on beardbrand um i think it must have been maybe four or five years ago uh if you are familiar with the beardbrand channel mahesh is one of like the main barbers on the channel and i was watching him he was talking about free handing a beard and i just love the way it came out and he talked about how not only is it is it beneficial for you to be able to see what you need to cut but it's also beneficial for the client because the client is actually seeing what's happening as you're free handing it however the problem freehanding is that it's very easy to screw up if you go in too hard you're going to leave a very big mark in there you're going to want to take the beard a little bit lower but i do love freehanding a beard because just looks so clean at the end [Music] and we want the mustache so we're just going to go regular mustache off a lip i think so i mean i like the the handle bars but i mean we can do it but if you if you're complaining about it getting in like your beer and your coffee and everything like that especially eating a sandwich like i'm aware of that yeah it's kind of a pain if i did it all the time i'd be like yeah definitely leave it yeah i don't you know and i don't i don't i go to work and i do it the normal way let's take care of it let's take a look let's take care of it make sure all our neck junk is gone so yeah now that that's gone what happens is that this all grows out at the same time so your neck hair is the same length as your chin hair so it's all going to grow out in an even keel yeah like which looks very very cool yeah yep that's that's exactly right let's line you up real quick with the blade sure and then let's uh see what looks at the end sure [Music] nick i love it okay yeah i was gonna ask you how you feel absolutely i don't even need i love it really i love it good total dinner i love it i mean dude you look thinner as hell that's the first thing i mean you look very very clean it's like exactly yep it's perfect you're perfect man i can't it's yours i can't argue thank you so much for coming in dude i always appreciate it always great seeing you man thank you so much from the dapper dan barbershop appreciate it take care so my name is bud i'm a veterinarian i'm a four vices kinda guy and if you're gonna grow it you better own it
