I stopped blasting hair on high heat. The change has made a real difference in how styles set.
I was halfway through a fade when the client's little dog jumped onto my table. It knocked over my clipper oil and started barking at the mirror. The client thought it was hilarious, but I had to stop and clean up the mess. Now I always check for pets before starting, idk maybe it's just me but that was a first.
Now it's all about layering with shears, and I had to relearn everything.
