@Betsy Espinoza Betsy! 🤙🏽 I really appreciate your continued participation in this community it doesn’t go unnoticed. Thank you for taking the time to introduce yourself! The great thing is you’ve already built a strong foundation with your straight razor work, skincare knowledge, facials, and waxing. Those are valuable skills that set you apart. Now it’s time to sharpen those fading skills, and I’m excited to help you get there. I have no doubt that with consistent practice and the right techniques, you’ll be creating clean, sharp, crisp fades before you know it. I can’t wait to fully engage with you this year, answer your questions, and help you level up. Welcome again, and don’t hesitate to ask for help along the way we’re all here to grow together I will be dropping a cutting technique course next week 👀
Commission Barbers Are More Successful Long-Term Than Booth Renters
This might ruffle some feathers, but it needs to be said. Booth rent sounds like freedom set your own hours, no boss, no rules. But what I’ve seen over and over again is this: Freedom without structure turns into inconsistency. Inconsistency turns into average income. Average income turns into burnout and blame. Commission, when done right, creates systems, accountability, growth, and real career paths. It forces barbers to level up beyond just cutting hair communication, professionalism, retention, and teamwork actually matter. I’ve operated both models. One scales. One usually stalls. So let’s talk about it no ego, no hate. Do you think booth rent really creates more success… or just the illusion of it? 👇 Drop your take below.

🚀 Monday Mindset: Your Personal Brand Is Your Real Resume
Most barbers think their chair is their income. The smart ones know their personal brand is their real asset. Your fade pays you once. Your content can pay you for years. If you’re not building your personal brand, you’re relying on: - Walk-ins - Shop traffic - Referrals only - Someone else’s rules That’s a ceiling. Why Content = Leverage Your content does: ✅ Builds trust before they sit in your chair ✅ Attracts better clients ✅ Positions you as the expert ✅ Creates opportunities outside the shop (education, collabs, products, UGC, coaching, etc.) Consistency > Perfection Most people quit because: - They don’t see results fast - They overthink every post - They wait to be “ready” Reality: One average post every day beats one perfect post per month. You don’t need to go viral. You need to be visible, reliable, and real. Your Monday Challenge This week, commit to: - 3 pieces of content minimum - 1 educational - 1 personal - 1 behind-the-scenes No excuses. No overthinking. Post. Learn. Adjust. Repeat. That’s how brands are built. Your future clients, partners, and opportunities are watching even if you don’t see the likes yet. Build it anyway. 🤝 👇 Take Action in the Community Don’t just read this move on it. Comment below with: 1️⃣ What content you’re posting this week 2️⃣ Which category it falls under (educational, personal, or BTS) 3️⃣ When you’re posting it If you want accountability, post your video or idea inside the community and tag it #WeeklyContentChallenge so we can support, give feedback, and keep you consistent. This is how we build real brands together. Let’s see who’s really about it.

if you want more clients and you’re sitting on your phone right now scrolling, why are you not recording yourself cleaning your station doing a voice overs on the video explaining who you are and what you offer and why people should sit in your chair! I know you have some Haircut videos, record yourself getting coffee on the way to work then setting up you don’t need clients to shoot content. You just need to stop making excuses.
