Handy Hints

Before you cut hair

1. Your clipper should be clean, oiled and in perfect working condition.

2. If your kit includes a plastic cape, place it around the neck, tying the strings and overlapping the cape portion to prevent hair from falling down inside the collar. If no cape is provided, a towel will do nicely.

3. Position the person whose hair is to be cut on a stool or chair so that the top of his head is about even with your eyes.

4. After combing the hair to remove all tangles, hold the clipper in a relaxed, comfortable grip, with nameplate under the palm near your index finger. This grip will help you maintain comfortable, accurate cutting control.
