barbering when being a hairdresser....

[rachy123]

Hi guys, im not sure if im in the same boat as a few other people.. i dont feel confident in doing gents, i do not mind cutting their hair when it is the scissors.. but the clippers....... i dread using them incase i end up with a line and cant blend... anyone got any suggestions??

I am a hairdresser for many years, took a break when i had my kids and went back to it i decided to barber! i freelance ladies as well.
Its so different the whole outline and blending in, i would always have said cutting was my thing but you will learn a ton if you could find a good barbers who does gents training.
the barbers i work in is quite an exclusive barbers and they do training in ladies salons, where they go in and train the salons in gents.
worth looking into!!

I feel exactly the same as you rachy... I work next door to a barbers and they are always trying to get me to go in there, but I'm too scared of the clippers!
