Now that we've completed our haircut, we've already established the basic shape, we've
removed the length that we wanted to remove, we've got him set on a pattern to grow a little
bit of his hair out so that it lays a little bit nicer for him, and we've texturized remove
the excess bulk. The last thing to do, now, is to just finish up and clean up the edges.
We're going to use our little peanut trimmers, and we're going to turn him around just a
little bit here so you can see the neckline. A couple key points to make about this, you
have several options when you're establishing the neck line. It can either be a little bit
shorter and wider, more square across, and you want to put that on a client whose neckline,
whose neck actually, is actually a little bit more narrow. If the client's neck is actually
wide, then you want to sort of V it in a little bit and that'll create a little bit of a slimming
effect. So, in this, we're just going to follow the shape and the line that's already established.
With the clippers, it's virtually impossible to cut or hurt someone. However, you don't
want to bear down too hard as you could create just a little bit of an abrasion against the
skin. If the cape was placed too high, then we can always unsnap it and just lower it
a little bit so that we can get down to the last most part of his hair. And, again, we're
just using gentle, light strokes that start right at our design line that we've established
and then just stroke down and away.
