I do my full hair and makeup every shift. Not for vanity. For presentation. Men sit in my barber chair trusting me to level up their look. And if I can reinvent myself this well, making you look better will never be a problem. I have clients who sat down for the first time, took one look at me, and said hell yea I got an artist. That reaction comes before I even touch their hair. First impressions hit before the clippers do. How you walk in. How you talk. How you hold yourself. It all speaks louder than the cut. Plenty of stylists choose comfy over polished. Nothing wrong with that. But the difference in tips, retention, and instant trust when you show up put together is unreal. If I care about my image, they know I will care about theirs. Presentation is never superficial. It is part of the craft.
