Ivan Zoot ClipperGuy Andis clipper cutting tip of the week, week 46, 2009, Tip 46 - Wide and Square – Use a wide blade trimmer when blocking necklines. Fewer bites create straighter lines. Narrower blades are easier to use in tight spaces like around ears. if you want stronger, longer, bolder lines, use longer blades. A T-Outliner blade is wider than a T-Ejer blade, as an example. both cut super close, but one makes stronger lines. The Outliner blade in the BG detachable series is the biggest/widest available. try that one for big jobs. -
The Andis/Ivan Zoot word of the week, letter T, for week 46, 2009 is Taper. ...And an important word this is. A taper is a progression of length in a graduated haircut where length increases from the perimeter towards the interior. The entire barber business is founded on this class haircut structure. If you can taper, you have a career. Different from a fade, a taper is Longer, lower and darker in overall finish than a fade. More on this important word. Since taper is so important I will devote the next few days to expanding on the tpaer topic. Stay tuned. -
Hair fashion 2010 from, salon International, London, UK 2009 I wrote this a few weeks ago and did not post it. No matter. it is still rlelvant. Several big trends were to be seen at Salon International this past week. They will be seen here in the U.K. in the spring and to follow in the fall of 2010. Bottom line, welcome back to the mid 1980’s. I commented earlier this week on the return of parachute pants… just like the old ones. I saw wide shoulders with shoulder pads as well… on both models as well as attendees. The big hair trends to look forward to and to be sure you have both the skills as well as the tools to execute are… Clippered disconnection, asymmetry big hair on men and women and . Clippered disconnection, that is to say, clipper cut perimeters with interior hair hanging over to obscure a portion of the clippering… not so much the skater cuts of the early 1990’s but more like the geometric shapes of 1985. Asymetry is back in a big way too. Radically short on one side and mid length on the other… Long, smooth and straight is going away. Sure we will still be using out flat irons, but now we will use them for bumping in volume and smoothing out medium lengths. Smaller flat irons will be popular… 3/8” flat irons and ½ “ irons will be everywhere. -
