Took me near 6 hours to dial in a fade on a client with a cowlick
I had a guy come in last Tuesday with a really stubborn cowlick right at the crown. No matter how I blended it, there was this weird line that kept showing up. I must have switched between my Wahl clippers and my trimmers a dozen times before it finally looked clean. Anyone else run into a cowlick that just fights back way harder than it should?

Oh dang, six hours?! That's brutal. I mean, I've spent way too long on a fade before but that feels like a whole different level of patience. Props to you for sticking it out honestly.

Man, I gotta say I totally disagree with you there. Six hours is nothing if you're paying for quality work... I've sat for eight hours on a detailed sleeve before and it was worth every minute. You're not just getting a haircut, you're getting art that's gonna last weeks, maybe months if you take care of it. I see people rushing their barbers all the time then complaining the line ain't sharp... you can't rush perfection. The way I see it, if you're not willing to put in the time, you're not really committed to the look.

Wait, did you actually sit there and watch your barber for eight hours on a sleeve? Or was that over multiple sessions? I'm just trying to picture that because with a cowlick fade, the barber is doing all the work while you're just sitting there. That's a totally different kind of patience than getting a tattoo where you're actively getting poked with needles the whole time. I mean, was your guy taking breaks or did he just power through and keep cutting?
