3 Steps For A Perfect Haircut | How To Choose The Best Barber
About this video
Centeno teaches a three-step process for obtaining a quality haircut: deciding on a hairstyle based on the message you want to send and your hair type, finding a skilled barber through research and personal interviews, and communicating clearly with your barber about specific details like clipper guard numbers and length. He emphasizes building a long-term relationship with a barber to ensure consistent results.
Key takeaways
- Centeno argues that choosing a hairstyle should consider both the message you want to convey and your natural hair type, and he recommends consulting his video on attractive men’s hairstyles for ideas
- Centeno recommends investing in a higher-quality barber who specializes in men’s cuts, allocates 30 minutes to an hour per appointment, and demonstrates personal grooming and confidence in their craft
- Centeno advises bringing reference photos to your barber and being specific about details—including clipper guard numbers, exact lengths to cut, and whether you want tapered sides or added texture—rather than being ambiguous about your desired style
- Centeno suggests scheduling haircuts every three to four weeks in advance with the same barber to maintain consistency and avoid last-minute scrambling
