Dealing With Unwanted Hair on Your Customers' Heads

Build extra value into each haircut for your cutomers. Go the extra mile and trim off all extra, unwanted hair. This will make the haircut that you give look even better.

If you've read some of my other you will know that hormones are responsible for hairgrowth, as well as its texture, density, and whether it even continues to grow at all. Men in particular can have coarse hair growing from their ears, eyebrows, noses and even below their necklines. Let's take a look at how to deal with the extra hair in each of these areas.

Ears

Extra, coarse hairs usually grow out of the top rim of the ear or out of the flexible little cartilage nub that you push against to plug your ears. You can cut these hairs using an electric razor or with a scissors. Be careful if you are using a scissor. Hold your scissors at a 45 degree angle so you can cut those hairs as short as possible. Cut carefully and slowly.

Eyebrows

Unruly, wiry, long hairs in the eyebrows can be cut using the . Here the comb takes the place of the and needs to move against or sideways to the hairgrain. If you comb with the hairgrain you will just be combing the hair down flat. But if you comb against the hairgrain, the hair will stand up and build up against the back of the comb. You cut the hair off that sticks past or protrudes from the comb.

Nose

Hair growing out of a nose is very noticeable since it's right in the middle of the face. Very carefully and very slowly cut the hairs with a scissor. Only cut the hair that protrudes from the nose. Don't be tempted to go just a bit inside the nose to get to the root of the problem.

Below the Neckline

This area often gets a bit messy between haircuts. This can be cleaned up with an electric shaver, a clipper on the lowest setting (with no attachment on), or with a razor (safely) and shaving cream. If you really like the you can use it, but remember that there will be hair left behind that is the same length as the thickness of your comb. Use a very thin comb and keep the comb very close to (right against) the skin.

Each of these 4 areas need to be trimmed up when you give a haircut. The ear, nose and eyebrow areas are extremely sensitive areas, so extra caution is needed. The hair below the neckline should be cut as short as possible to keep it looking tidy for as long as possible.

Go the extra mile for your customer and s/he will come back because you do such a great job!
