Learn how to give a great haircut in your VR barber shop. This guide will show you the basic steps to turn a messy customer into a fresh, clean-looking one.
Step 1: Talk to the Customer
First, find out what kind of haircut the customer wants. For example, they might ask for a "low taper fade" and want the top, back, and beard trimmed.
Step 2: Prepare and Thin the Hair
Check your tools: Make sure your clippers and trimmers are ready.
Start thinning: If the customer's hair is thick and messy (like a "bird's nest"), use your scissors to thin it out first. This makes the hair more even and easier to work with.
Step 3: Shape the Sides and Set a Guide Line
Trim the sides: Use your clippers to cut the hair on the sides.
Set the guide line: This is very important. Use your clippers to create a clear, clean line at the bottom of the hairline. This line is the start of the fade.
Step 4: Create the Fade and Check Your Work
Fade upwards: Start from your guide line and use a smaller clipper guard to cut the hair above it. This creates a smooth fade effect.
Check from all angles: Turn the customer's chair around often. Make sure both sides look the same and the haircut is even.
Step 5: Clean Up the Details
Around the ears: Carefully clean up the small hairs around the ears.
Fade the back: Use the same method to fade the hair on the back of the head.
Shape the beard and eyebrows: Use a razor to shape the beard and tidy up the eyebrows.
Step 6: The Final Look
When you are done, step back and let the customer see the new look. You have turned a rough-looking customer into a fresh and clean one.
Key Tips to Remember
- Always talk to the customer first.
- Thin out thick hair before you start styling.
- A clear guide line is the most important part of a good fade.
- Always check your work from different sides.
- The small details, like the beard and eyebrows, make a big difference.
- Be careful with the razor.
