💈My experience of becoming a barber

I started watching videos on how to cut hair and started watching how the guy I used to get haircuts from would cut hair. I honestly thought it was really easy cutting hair. After I went to go buy a pair of clippers from Walmart which I thought was a good way to start of. I started with cutting my brothers hair and I would also cut close friends hair. What I thought about cutting hair was going to be easy wasn't so easy when I actually tried it. I started doing simple cuts first to get use to the machine and how to blend and stuff. When I started off I only had one machine with the gaurds they come with. As months passed I started to go in with the more trendy haircuts at the time and with one machine I would do all the work and I would take me up to 1hr 30 min or 2 hrs to do a good haircut. I would mess up nd would feel like giving up. The one thing that would always happen would be the clippers that I would get would always stop working at a point. So I would be waisting 30$ on machines and for them to cut good I would look at videos to adjust them nd know how to fix them and that's what I did to fix my older machines for a good while more and to leave the haircuts better. After a good year of getting familiar with the haircuts I started charging 5$. With the little money I would make and the money that my dad would let me have at times I bought a t-outliner trimmer which is to outline behind the ear and neck or to do line ups or designs. I also remember that same day I bought a straight edge razor razors and cool care to disinfect the machines I never really knew what I needed when I started off and didn't know where to buy them I would always see barbers use that spray but didn't know where to get it. Well after I figured out where I could get it that's when I saw the prices of the good machines to that are around 100$ but as time went by I still would use the walmart machines and just my t- outliner disinfectant straight razor and I would cut hair outside cause I didn't have no where to cut. As I mentioned it to the barber that cuts my hair he said he had a pair of clippers he didnt use no more and was selling them and said he could sell them to me cheap since I was starting of. I slowly started progressing in my haircuts by the time and the way they would come out. I would get money and would go spend it on buyin more things that would make it easier to cut hair and make them even better. I started cleaning the garage and that's where now I cut hair after a long time of struggling of learning how to cut hair I finally learned and I'm still learning by the new haircuts that are coming out, I also went from 2 hrs to a 35 min hair cut or less there's some people that come back or friends that I already know the hair cut they get and that they like that it takes me about 20 minutes
Or if a friend lets me I tell them to see how fast  I can do the haircut on them and it takes me about 10
min that's how much I progressed over time and I'm also with the same machine the barber sold to me almost 2 years ago and it's worked great like new still I've also bought more things and went from cutting outside to cutting inside my garage and having my little station to cut hair arranged good. Well that's how my expericance was about learning to cut hair. I'm still learning new things and haircuts that come out now it's just to get my license and also open my own shop, but what I learned was that no matter how much you want to give up don't. I've wanted to give up so many times cause of some bad comments I'd get but I still didn't give up and fixed mistakes the clients would say and now I get a lot of good comments about how good I cut hair.
