Watching a fade turn into a mess on wavy hair made me rethink my whole approach
I used to give every guy a fade just because it was popular, but on wavy hair it grows out all patchy and weird. (Seriously, it looks terrible in like three days.) So I stopped doing skin fades on anyone without straight hair, no exceptions. Now I push for styles that work with their texture, like a taper or leaving more length. For instance, this client with crazy curls insisted on a fade, but I showed him pics of how it would puff out. We went with a scissor cut on top instead, and he loved it. My book filled up once word got out that I won't set you up for a bad hair week. It's all about being real with people, not just chasing trends.
