Just trying to confirm or fully understand, do you set the baseline first or guideline? I know it depends on style trying to achieve but just need clarification thanks 🙏🏽

Barber Josh OP doesn’t just teach haircuts — he teaches the underlying geometry and the thinking that makes the geometry consistent. Most education stops at technique. Josh starts further back: with lines, length relationships, and the fact that shape is an illusion created by the difference between two primary lines. The D.F.S Formula turns that into a repeatable system so you’re no longer guessing. At the same time he drops lines that stick because they’re stripped clean: “You have to be confident. Nothing more, nothing less.” And the other one that keeps echoing — “The energy you put out, it’s the energy you’ll receive.” One is the non-negotiable starting state. The other is the closed loop that keeps the work honest. Together with the geometry, they raise both the haircut and the person cutting it. If you’re looking for surface-level fades and trends, this isn’t it. If you want the structure underneath the craft and the mindset that makes that structure sustainable, this is the clearest path I’ve found.
