Men’s Grooming at Chakra Salon San Francisco, CA

Amy:	We are here at the— Hair Salon in San Francisco and this is Alex.

Alex:	Hello.

Amy:	Hello.

Alex:	And welcome.

Amy:	Welcome and this is his model Omar.

Omar:	Hi.

Amy:	He just got married in November. His wife wants him to have a really nice 
haircut so what we’re going to do to him?

Alex:	Today what we’re going to talk about is we’re going to talk about men’s 
grooming and men’s grooming is a huge percentage of the market place 
right now.

So we’re going start out with a little bit of oil and it’s really important that 
when you’re starting to you know work on a client it’s for them to get 
used to you, to get to know your touch and also so that you can kind of 
you know see what’s going on in his hair to see if there are growth 
patterns that you want to be aware off.

A pre-style scalp massage can be very beneficial for you and the client.

Amy:	How does that feel?

Omar:	It feels nice.

Alex:	I like the thought of leaving something a little long on him, he’s got a very 
low hairline so we want to you know kind of be mindful of that so we take 
his hairline very short and very tight in a couple weeks it’s going to look 
very grown out and untidy so keeping that a little bit longer I think is 
going to be a really great idea for him.

Take into consideration how the hair will grow out after your styling.

Amy:	So you’re beginning with the end in mind, you’re even thinking about two 
weeks form now. You’re not just thinking about your tip that you’re going 
to receive because it looks good as he is walking out. You’re thinking 
about too weeks later.

So you’re putting product on his hair before you cut?

Alex:	Absolutely, because what we want to do is we want to have the product in 
the hair, see how the hair dries but also to hold the hair when working on a 
shorter texture, we definitely want the hair to be held out of the way so I 
can work a nice clean sections through the cut.

Using product in the hair before the cut can help with shorter hair styles.

So just coming around getting that hair up and out of the way so I have 
nice clean sections to work in, noticing if there’s any little growth patterns 
that we want to be aware off just coming around right to the other side and 
doing the same thing.

So what we’re going to do is I’m going to start working in this area and 
from the top of the ear forward I’m going to create a guideline and then 
working back with horizontal sections, in that way I can kind of see how 
the hair is falling. I’m going to check with him when I’m done with this 
section and make sure that, that length works for him that, that’s going to 
be good with the style and then using traveling guide I’ll be able to go all 
the way around the head and finish on the other side and then we’ll release 
the top and bring that down.

Amy:	Sounds great.

Alex:	So one thing I always do is I make sure that I’m working very clean in my 
sections and I’m also being very cautious to make sure that my arms and 
my wrists stay in really nice neutral positions.

Amy:	And you’re sitting.

Alex:	And I am sitting.

Amy:	Do you always sit?

Alex:	I always sit when I cut. I want to be right at the eye level of the work that 
I’m doing and I want to make sure that you know I can see without 
straining too much, so being an eye level with my work keeping my 
shoulders relax to neutral really makes a big difference for me.

Sitting while cutting can give you better perspective and control.

Amy:	It’s for better ergonomics.

Alex:	So after I’ve done, I’ve completed the section I’m just going to cross 
check it and then we’re going to have him determine whether it’s short 
enough for him, we can always go back in to make it shorter.

Omar:	Yeah the length is fine.

Alex:	The length is fine. Great! So now we know we can continue.

So we’re going to keep going around, we’re almost finished, increased in 
length back here and now I’m going to decrease the length as I start 
getting closer to the front and I’m just doing this visually seeing the way 
he’s hair is falling, seeing what I want to change and modify about it 
we’re going to take the 35-2 the texturing sheers from Scissor Boy and 
I’m just going to go right around the end and just blend a little bit in take 
right around his ears softer and tighter without making it look too sharp 
and corporate.
