Big massive warm welcome to @Michael Erfani who has joined us on our 6 Week Barber Academy! Let’s go crew!

(PHOTOS BELOW) Felt a higher level of uncertainty this week than last week in cutting live. Damo discussed the idea that if you aren’t confident in yourself then you’re unconfident in your system. This is where that uncertainty stemmed from. I wasn’t confident in my system and kept second guessing myself. I had mental blanks a few times during the haircut but asking for guidance allowed me to get in a flow placing me in the right direction. Doing my best and putting my all into the cut, knowing that it won’t be perfect but just having fun with it. Negatives - dark spots - refine on techniques - Don’t shear hair. Point cut to get rid of thickness in hair instead - Trust my system Positives - understood how hair flows and cutting in the direction of natural growth - Cutting with purpose not for sake of cutting - Using guideline throughout whole haircut

I butchered my brother in law the week before and had him come in to redeem myself 😂 not where I want to be but feel like I’m progressing as the weeks go by I need to work on my technique/flick more and have more confidence in myself

i commit myself to building my dream self, as i want to make myself genuinely happy and want to be able to show up for myself, being a kid i’ve always been abit trouble, out of place and never really had a thought of a future for myself and has never really had anything going on for me, as i would always have a mindset negative towards myself with everything around , the kid who has dreams and a assert his true self ambitions to grow and learn and to doubt the people around me and prove everyone them wrong. To honour this commitment, I will build and constantly work on building a stronger mindset, by stepping out of my comfort zone, allowing myself to accept mistakes and learn from them and taking those mistakes as a learning lesson Steps I would take include: Having a Healthy Diet ( to keep healthy ) and also consistently doing physical activities at-least 5 times a week 2 hours a day Having a Postive Mindset towards everything and making sure nothing is impossible and there’s always a way through to everything Giving it my all into everything, and never giving up Aim for progression not perfection , each and everyday is an opportunity to gain and grow , also learning to be patient with myself , seeking for ways to constantly improve each day!

I commit to building my dream self because I want to make something of this life that was given to me, and to show my dad that all the wisdom he instilled in me eventually paid off. To honour this commitment, I will keep holding myself to the standard of which my dream self would do, and want me to do. Steps I would take include: Consuming a healthy diet and continuing to go to the gym consistently throughout the week (maintain physical exercise), to ensure my body stays clean and active Positive self affirmation journalling in the morning to remind myself of who I am and what I'm capable of Spending quality time with those around me and sharing memorable experiences with them Consuming or practising at least one barbering-related thing each day
