Hi any hairdressers out there???
I want to give Mikey a haircut, just thought id ask where to start, front, back or top with the scissors, then he wants me to use the clipper thingy!!!!!
Ill take a before and after pic!!!!
I dont want to put a bowl on his head!

There is only one option. Buzz cut, #3.

That is all.



Or if Mikey is extremely hardcore, give him a high and tight. But he has to be hardcore, or else he'll just look goofy.



And then, you could shave his head. That is for the extreme though.



I get the buzz cut #3 or #4 (3/8 or 1/2 inch)

HA HA HA - I was a Hairstylist in the OLD days...
Its difficult to explain but I can TRY

You need to start by cutting a base line, all the way around, just a thin section of hair. Start around the ears.... then the back of the neck....
Then you start by taking sections - up between your fingers and cut - but make sure you catch a little of the base line hair - and DON"T cut that again.... but use it as a guide.....

I start in the center at the back once I've cut the base line all around, then I go from center - to the side behind the ear, and do the other side the same...
then I do above the ears so you're holding hair from the top of the head to the ear a thin section including a little of your base line.... that will give you layers...

HECK - I need to take pictures doing it.......... Its SO hard to explain....

That is all.
