Looked at my old appointment book and saw I did 2,500 cuts in my first year

I was cleaning out my station and found my first appointment book from 2015. I added up all the marks and it came to 2,500 haircuts. That number hit me hard. Back then, I was just trying to get through each day, doing mostly simple fades and clipper cuts for $15 a pop. I remember my hands would ache and I'd go home smelling like talc and Barbicide. Now, almost a decade later, I'm doing more detailed scissor work and my regulars have been with me for years. It's wild to see that raw start point. For the older barbers here, what was your first year's number and how does it compare to now?

I barely hit 1,000... guess my hands were too busy shaking to hold the clippers steady.

Damn, 2,500 heads in a year? That's a whole army of fades. No wonder you smelled like a barbershop floor.
