5 Reason Why You Shouldn't Put Grease In Your Hair Before A Haircut
Dear valued clients,
When it comes to grooming, there's a lot that goes behind the scenes to ensure you leave our barber chair looking and feeling your best. A significant aspect of this process is the condition in which you come in for your appointment. One frequent concern among barbers, which many clients might not be aware of, is the application of hair grease or heavy pomades before a haircut. Let me explain why this practice can hinder the quality of your haircut and prolong your time in the barber chair.
1. Grease Clogs the Clippers
Heavy greases and pomades tend to be thick and sticky. When applied generously to the hair, they can clog the clippers' blades. Just like any machine or tool, our clippers require a clean environment to operate efficiently. Clogged clippers can overheat, become less sharp, and even break down, leading to inconsistent cuts and reduced equipment longevity.
2. Affects The Quality Of The Haircut
When hair is laden with grease, it clumps together, making it challenging to get a consistent and clean cut. The blades struggle to glide through the hair smoothly, leading to uneven lengths and making it harder for your barber to achieve a precise shape or style.
3. Makes it Difficult to Assess Hair Texture and Flow
For a barber, understanding the natural flow and texture of your hair is crucial to give you a haircut that complements your features and hair type. Grease can mask the true nature of your hair, making it difficult for us to make the best judgments.
4. Requires Additional Prep Time
When you come in with greasy hair, your barber might need to spend extra time cleaning your hair or even washing it to ensure the clippers can work effectively. This adds unnecessary time to your appointment and can throw off the schedule for other clients.
5. Potential for Product Buildup
Regularly using heavy products without adequate cleansing can lead to product buildup, which isn't just a concern for your barber but should be for you as well. Buildup can weigh your hair down, make it look dull, and even lead to scalp issues.
In Conclusion
While we understand the allure of hair products to maintain a certain look or manage unruly locks, we kindly request you come to your appointments with clean, product-free hair. Not only does this help us provide you with the best possible service, but it also ensures the longevity of our tools and keeps the appointment efficient.
Remember, our ultimate goal is to make sure you leave looking your best, and your cooperation in this regard goes a long way in achieving that objective. Thank you for your understanding and continued support!
