Barberhacks: I Need Your Opinion

Barberhacks is a FREE online barbering resource that will make you a better barber. There are so many articles that can help you choose your equipment or learn how to better communicate with your customers. Please feel free to check them out, subscribe to get notifications, and leave comments down below.

I know that many of you come to Barber Hacks every week to learn something about barbering, get some insight into the industry and the like, but this week I’m going to do something a little different (don’t worry I’ll be back to the regular format next week).

This past week I did a photoshoot. To go along with the shoot I did a YouTube tutorial that I will embed in the post. If you want to learn something about tapering with just a detachable blade, go and check it out.


I’m looking for an opinion this week, and I want my Barberhackers to help me out. I’ve edited ten pictures (making sure the skin is nice, I did not touch the hair at all) and I want you all to vote on which shot I should make the official shot of the photo shoot (there has to be one to rule them all). I think all of the shots have merits, and there are multiple styles of the same head of hair, but now I’m looking for your opinion.

So please leave a comment down below and when I’m back with next week’s post I will be sure to let you guys know which picture is the official picture of the shoot.

So please participate and let me know which photo you like the best.

Welcome to Barber Hacks, the website that is going to help you become the most well rounded barber in your barbershop. Beginner and advanced barbering knowledge to help you perform to the best of your ability day to day in the barbershop. Detachable blade clippers (DBC) are every barber’s friend. What is a DBC? You’ve got your clipper, it works getting through the thickest heads of hair...most of the time. If you get a couple of snags every once in awhile, no big deal right? Wrong. Make your job easier invest in a DBC, a power tool that will cut through every head of hair like butter.  If you are cutting volume, and cutting thick hair often, DBC are your high performance vehicles, that muscle when you want the extra juice, but they are also surprisingly versatile. I use my DBC to rid myself of all the excess hair and create a canvas that I can fade on, or I use it to lay in the bottom line of the haircut and taper up from that. For a traditional taper (starting with the clippe

Best Barber Tools: 5 Sensational Trimmers For Barbers

Welcome to Barber Hacks, your FREE online barbering resource to help you be a better barber. Today we’re talking about the trimmers that you’ll need in order be your best barber. I’ve had barbers tell me that the outline of a haircut is the most important part or the haircut, and there are moments when I agree with that. A lineup is often the part of the haircut that we notice first with fades. When it comes to this technique, the solid lines define our canvases. If you are going to be fading on a regular basis, knowing your trimmer and how to maintain it is key to a great haircut. Trimmers are baffling to some barbers and stylists. I read comments on Instagram daily that say, “How do you get your trimmers to hit like that?” I understand completely. I remember asking myself how Jamie Foxx’s hairline was so incredibly straight while watching the Oscars one year. This was before I had any idea what a lineup was. As a hairdresser and barber I’ve always felt that you should be as know
