Importance of Hair Care
To Ross, hair care is a 10/10 in importance. He includes hair care as part of his service and educates his clients on the importance of shampooing, conditioning, and the water temperature they use. He also gives tips on how to apply hair products properly to receive the best look.
Taking Care of Yourself
Ross stresses the importance of caring for oneself as a barber or stylist. The constant standing and providing excellent service takes a toll on your body. So Ross loves to set aside time for physical activity, eating well, and unwinding after a long day.
He also recommends physical therapy, such as using a massage gun, to keep the muscles relaxed and free of tension. Ross takes care of his mind and body by weight training three to four times weekly and seeing his physical therapist a few times per month.
Questions with Ross
The most common question Ross receives in the chair is, “What haircut fits me the best?”
To figure this out, Ross considers factors such as the client’s head shape, face, personality, and even style of dress. Ross believes this is an ongoing process, and it may take more than one visit to curate the perfect haircut.
How has barbering personally impacted your life?
Barbering has impacted my life in many ways. First by fulfilling some of my dreams, getting to meet people I never have thought I would meet and of course having a career that I love where I don’t wake up and dreading going to work.
What are some common hair challenges your clients face, and how do you address them?
Some common hair challenges my clients face especially recently is finding a new look. I feel like they want changes to their style/hair since they have been rocking the same cut for a while. I address them by going over some of their ideas, putting in my two cents and meeting in the middle. It always seems to workout at the end of the day.
If your ideal customer is reading this, what would you want them to know about you and what you offer as a barber?
