Imagine you have a house plot on the side of a cliff, overlooking the horizon, and your dream is to build a home that hangs on the edge of this cliff. The difficult part now becomes—how do you build your house on a plot that is not level, filled with dips, valleys, and uneven terrain?
A haircut is no different. You’re building a structure on top of a living, breathing surface that isn’t level. In fact, it’s not only round—it’s a sphere.
I think, like many of us, we grew up getting cheap haircuts that took little thought or consideration to produce. Or, like me, maybe your mom always cut your hair the best she could. It’s nostalgic to think about, but by no means was it a good haircut. (Sorry, Mom—I love you.)
The thing about a haircut is that it is a geometric, architectural shape. Without strict consideration of the constant changes in shape, angles, and degrees, it won’t hold. Much like a house on a cliff, if it isn’t created perfectly, it will not withstand the test of time and, like an unstable foundation, will lose its shape and collapse almost immediately.
One must ask themselves: How much is a haircut worth to you? Or better yet, how much is your time worth? As the most valuable asset we possess, a haircut has the ability not only to help you look and feel your best but also to save you time—time you can use in the mornings or spend with family and friends.
A quality haircut should be easy to manage with little to no styling. It should look amazing in its natural state and texture, yet also achieve incredible results when combined with products and tools. It should complement and be suitable for your own unique features because you are one of a kind. Due to your unique texture, head shape, physique, and bone structure, I will always create a look that is truly suited for you—to help you look and feel your best.
One thing to always remember: A haircut should hold the same shape it did when you left the salon—it should just be a longer version of what you had.
It doesn’t matter what it looks like when you leave the salon; what matters is what it looks like when you come back.
That is the difference between a good haircut and a bad haircut.
How much is that worth to you?
