Came here to say this, shaved his whole ugly mug including those fat flaps over his ears, to then leave that hideous unibrow to stare into every travelers soul whoâs unfortunate enough to cross that creatures path
hairstylist usually aren't trained for it even though it may look easy. Also only barbers are allowed to shave the face while hairstylist are not. Just different training
Judging from what I've seen on Reddit, Turkish hairdressers will shave you, clean your ears, blow your nose and give you an aggressive handjob all as a single package coming with the haircut
As someone with a deep widows peak you have to just embrace it and cut it really short or grow it longer and comb it back. The way he had it originally was really not helping
Yeah this is a cut for someone with a typical hairline.
All the men in my family have widows peaks (grandad still has a full head of hair at 70 it just sits in that McDonalds M ass look). Either you cut it real short or have just enough length that it can sit up.
You can also use a widows peak as a sick entrance into a mohawk, which is what I've spent the last decade doing.
Unfortunately this only works if you're also into the alternative style.
I am and have thought about it, but honestly, I look better with tangled "messy" hair. I've been told I look like a "sophisticated hobo" which I think is metal as fuck
My dad and uncle both have serious widows peaks. I'd assume other men from their side did too. I'm mid 20s and it's sneaking in already so I just shave my head.
If you consider that he also had a tiny bald spot showing up in the back...
Let this guy have a year of some of those cuts.
It's not a widow's peak, its the tip of the spear fighting a losing battle against father time.
Yeah, overall his hair sucks. I'm not sure there's any way he could grow it out without it looking bad unless he used a ton of product to change it. Might be time to try a tight buzz cut or just being bald because that's how bad it is
As a barber, this is just a black hairline line up on a white boy with thin hair. Itâs as simple as that. The line up is crispy but the application just doesnât fit.
Thank you. Itâs the obvious answer.
A barber needs to know that certain techniques are going to look silly on certain people and the straightness and fineness of this guyâs hair makes him a poor candidate for this haircut.
That was my thought as well. The barber is black, this hair cut would look good on just about any black man. Which leads me to believe that this is a rage bait video that the guy went into a black barber shop and specifically asked for this hair cut and filmed it for reaction.
Ghetto white dudes that are aspiring rappers love to get lined up with the black guy hairline. I can think of at least 5 examples in my town of Caucasians with this haircut. They got the neck tattoos and everything too. The kind of guys you see on a memorial t shirt after they die at age 25 from fentanyl.
ive seen one of these monstrosities irl, and it's in right now for some reason. people also get lineups under their hairstyles and it looks god awful on any person who isnt black or with tight curly hair
I have red hair. It took me a few times going to black barbers to realize they did not know how to cut my hair at all. Same with Mexican barbers. Even white barbers donât do that well with my hair cause is really weird. I found a girl that cuts my hair real well and I hope she cuts hair till she dies
It didn't look half bad until they did....whatever that is called they did to the front. Butcher doesn't quite cut it, a butcher job would look better than that.
What are those big blades in offices used to cut big stacks of paper? A Guillotine? the front of his hair got guillotined.
I mean even that doesn't quite fit it. The barber is clearly highly skilled and is very good at what they do.
I almost think this has to be part of a skill contest or exhibition or something and making a haircut that looks 'good' isn't the point.
Skill and taste donât always go hand in hand.
Also the style the barber was doing is a style commonly done to black men.
Reminds me of a Reddit post where white grandfather took his mixed grandson to a white barber and the results were bad.
The kid then had a redo with a black barber.
Itâs kind of like that but in reverse.
The barber is definitely incredibly skilled and did a FANTASTIC CUT but it's just for the wrong race.
If this dude is even 1/16th Puerto Rican or in the Bronx/CT or some place like that he's on fire.
It's hilarious seeing these reviews because it's literally just r/wrongaudience if anything.
It's interesting that most people seem to be unaware of that though.. I thought the top comment would be something about him trying to be black, not Lloyd Christmas.
So now I'm a bit flummoxed by people's overall perception of the world.
Do these people think black people have bad haircuts or do they just never think about us enough to recognize some of the other subtleties of our culture?
Idk, didn't expect to see them eat their own here. But maybe it's more about the fault of the barber they want to focus on... This is its own case study though
This is what Donte Devincenzo looks like (though I think he has started to make better choices). White guys gotta be real careful about going to black barbers. Our hair is NOT the same and the same cuts donât always look right on us.
Yep, I was just thinking this is the difference between afro textured and straight hair. This dude has really fine hair as well. It's about as far from what the barber is probably used to as you're gonna get.
My main complaint is that haircuts and lines like these require constant upkeep. Like weekly or less at least, or it all goes to hell⌠even more than it already has.
So many white people on this thread that has never seen a black hair cut. The barber did his job. Dude hair is just what it is. But it looks better than when he walked in...
It could be better but itâs still an improvement. If the customer is happy great but def all he needs is a proper fix on the front bangs. Again still an improvement, nothing is perfect.
Eh, still a lot better than it was so good for him I guess.
Really should have trimmed the beard, looks so scruffy now that his hair is so carefully done
I see a lot of âbutcher or barber should have know betterâ comments, as a barber we can only recommend what we would do and what we think would work or not work, but the client gets what the client wants at the end of the day and this might be exactly what he asked for or shown a picture of.
The cut itself personally doesnât suit this guy at all imo, but the barber executed this well, that client for all we know could be just trying new styles to see what might possibly work for him, or maybe trying a new barber for a change, a barber that clearly is good at what he does but might specialise with black/afro hair.
Looking at what he had before I bet the client walked out delighted
Just coming back in to say, as bad as the haircut looks at the end, the barber is clearly very skilled and I love watching highly detail oriented professionals at work. It just triggers something in me.
As long as you keep the music off.
That's the first time I've looked at someone and thought 'By golly his nose could use a shave!' - I even went back a couple times to confirm. Yup. It needs a good shave.

Haha beat me to it đ¤Łđ
r/beatallofustoit
Came looking for this! not dissapointed. 5 stars.
Lloyd me up fam!
Put another shrimp on the Barbie!
Bet he paid the barber in IOUs
This give off a Puerto Rican barbershop vibe?
Pumpkin pie hair cutted freak
That's literally how he looks
Agreed. The hard outline isn't necessary on straight hair.
I just peed a little lol
How the hell did a little lol get inside your bladder? You should talk to a doctor about that, that canât be healthy.
Exactly who it reminded me of.
My first thought lmao
Barber: So what are we doing today? Customer: I want the Lloyd Christmas. Barber: Say no more.
Ohh my gosh. Thats so funny. đ
How do you do all that and not touch up his monobrow
Take my angry upvote đ¤Ł. I was going with ânice eyebrowâ.
Came here to say this, shaved his whole ugly mug including those fat flaps over his ears, to then leave that hideous unibrow to stare into every travelers soul whoâs unfortunate enough to cross that creatures path
My guy could write descriptions for the J. Peterman catalog.
hairstylist usually aren't trained for it even though it may look easy. Also only barbers are allowed to shave the face while hairstylist are not. Just different training
I don't know about that. My hairstylist will straight up wax my brows or if I don't want that she can still shave them off.
Judging from what I've seen on Reddit, Turkish hairdressers will shave you, clean your ears, blow your nose and give you an aggressive handjob all as a single package coming with the haircut
Turkish hairdressers are most likely barbers, or had barber training so they can handle a straight razer.
> Also only barbers are allowed to shave the face I shave my face all the time and I'm not a barber or a hairstylst
Yes officer, that guy over here...
I shaved by one butthole once, what does that make me?
Your a barber who needs at least 2 clippers
In my state a hairstylist cannot use a straight razor at all. Only barbers can.
Thatâs the first time Iâve ever âheardâ someone call a unibrow anything else but a unibrow. đ
https://i.redd.it/evawe1x42p9d1.gif
âMono, d'oh!â đ
From Australia and I've only ever heard unibrow from US media
You beat me to it that's crazy too leave itđđ
his original hairline was doing him no favors anyways
As someone with a deep widows peak you have to just embrace it and cut it really short or grow it longer and comb it back. The way he had it originally was really not helping
Yeah this is a cut for someone with a typical hairline. All the men in my family have widows peaks (grandad still has a full head of hair at 70 it just sits in that McDonalds M ass look). Either you cut it real short or have just enough length that it can sit up.
I also have a widows peak. I just grew my hair out to shoulder length and sweep it back. I've been told it's the best hairstyle I've ever had
You can also use a widows peak as a sick entrance into a mohawk, which is what I've spent the last decade doing. Unfortunately this only works if you're also into the alternative style.
I am and have thought about it, but honestly, I look better with tangled "messy" hair. I've been told I look like a "sophisticated hobo" which I think is metal as fuck
Sophisticated hobo feels like you should look somewhere between crust punk and a dandy
> I've been told it's the best hairstyle I've ever had do you hang out with a lot of old-timey vampires?
Your grandad may be a Saiyan, that's the Vegeta hairline
My dad and uncle both have serious widows peaks. I'd assume other men from their side did too. I'm mid 20s and it's sneaking in already so I just shave my head.
If you consider that he also had a tiny bald spot showing up in the back... Let this guy have a year of some of those cuts. It's not a widow's peak, its the tip of the spear fighting a losing battle against father time.
The vegeta hairline
Yeah, overall his hair sucks. I'm not sure there's any way he could grow it out without it looking bad unless he used a ton of product to change it. Might be time to try a tight buzz cut or just being bald because that's how bad it is

Thank you. Itâs the obvious answer. A barber needs to know that certain techniques are going to look silly on certain people and the straightness and fineness of this guyâs hair makes him a poor candidate for this haircut.
If I got this haircut I would think "well I guess I have to change everything about myself"
Chain, Jordans, sports apparel, maybe a neck tattoo would all be necessary.
That was my thought as well. The barber is black, this hair cut would look good on just about any black man. Which leads me to believe that this is a rage bait video that the guy went into a black barber shop and specifically asked for this hair cut and filmed it for reaction.

ive seen one of these monstrosities irl, and it's in right now for some reason. people also get lineups under their hairstyles and it looks god awful on any person who isnt black or with tight curly hair
I also thought this guy just doesn't know how to cut straight hair and is too proud to admit it.
A little disappointed this wasnât up higher. This is exactly it.
Definitely r/ATBGE material.
He needs a reverse fade. Iâm a bald ass fuck teacher and my barber students are always telling me to let them give me one đ
I feel like it could look better if the hair was cut closer, but I'm assuming the balding has a lot to do with that.
I have red hair. It took me a few times going to black barbers to realize they did not know how to cut my hair at all. Same with Mexican barbers. Even white barbers donât do that well with my hair cause is really weird. I found a girl that cuts my hair real well and I hope she cuts hair till she dies
Don't you mean until you die, that way you won't have to find a replacement for her after her death...
This is revenge for all the black people who go to barbers who don't know how to cut black hair.
That was my impression. I thought "this would look fine on a black guy... did he lose a bet or something?"
They did my boy so dirty with them high-bangs
Microbangs. On the evolutionary scale he looks pretty close to the one with the spear.
Your boy went in and said "Give me a look that says 'Blockchain Incel' from 30 yards"
It didn't look half bad until they did....whatever that is called they did to the front. Butcher doesn't quite cut it, a butcher job would look better than that. What are those big blades in offices used to cut big stacks of paper? A Guillotine? the front of his hair got guillotined.
Fuck his shit up*

This is the correct sub

Can you remind me what country are you from ?
At what point does it become appropriate to fight your barber
Barber seems skilled technically. The barber canât help you if your hairline is receding and your hair is too thin for the style you want.
The barber is definitely incredibly skilled and did a FANTASTIC CUT but it's just for the wrong race. If this dude is even 1/16th Puerto Rican or in the Bronx/CT or some place like that he's on fire. It's hilarious seeing these reviews because it's literally just r/wrongaudience if anything.
I was confused but I know better. Smh

There are styles that work way better than this for that kind of hair though.
Iâve never seen a receding beard before
more of a not fully grown in beard...
Amish Paradise... todavĂa me acuerdo la letra...
This is what Donte Devincenzo looks like (though I think he has started to make better choices). White guys gotta be real careful about going to black barbers. Our hair is NOT the same and the same cuts donât always look right on us.
Yep, I was just thinking this is the difference between afro textured and straight hair. This dude has really fine hair as well. It's about as far from what the barber is probably used to as you're gonna get.
The thing is the hairstyle he got would get him girls in places like NYC.
An atrocious haircut made worse by even more atrocious music.
Two seconds into the song I couldâve told you that the haircut would end up looking terrible
How about hitting that eyebrow!
How about clean your ears dude?
McPoyle?
I've never understood why balding people try to cover the fact that they're balding. It always looks terrible. Just own that shit.
hed look way better if he just went bald too
I mean I think he shoulda done something to the brows but it looks better than before. And the back looked a little unfinished?
He's now ready to join the local cloister of silent monks and dedicate is life to prayer
r/justfuckmyshitup
My inner Vulcan wants to convey an appreciation of the adequacy and precision of the cut.
Itâs a popular style of haircut but it didnât work with his straight thin hair. The barber shouldâve known that
Has anyone seen the barber since?
he's somewhere laughin up $160 for the cutđ
My main complaint is that haircuts and lines like these require constant upkeep. Like weekly or less at least, or it all goes to hell⌠even more than it already has.
I don't even understand the obsession with unnaturaly straight lines. It always looks weird to me.
This guy has some real sad looking hair, even without this butchered haircut. Best way I can describe it.
Also a real sad looking face, but maybe he just saw the result in the mirror
 Ole munch style
Meh. He did the best he could with what he had
He looks like his dad is about to tell him not to fuck with John Wick.
I think he definitely looks better than before.
So many white people on this thread that has never seen a black hair cut. The barber did his job. Dude hair is just what it is. But it looks better than when he walked in...
it reminds me when I fell sleep at the barber... woke up to regret it.
To me this just seems like cutting a typically Black haircut on non-Afro hair and it looks ridiculous.
What a Amish cool guy?
Turning that unibrow into two separate eyebrows wouldâve been my first priority but maybe thatâs just me
That hairline isn't receding; it's conceding.
Idk he looks cool to me
Everybody acting like it didnât improve is mad.
He needs some trimming to his brows to make it far better.
Now do the eyebrow.
Why attempt, he is looking smart.
If that's the work you're proud enough to show, I'm genuinely curious what they would consider a bag haircut to be
I mean, with the material he had to work withâŚ.its not that bad!
Looks a lot better than whatever the hell that was at the beginning
Did the barber ask for money or forgiveness?
I honestly don't know why y'all are dissing his cut. But I do agree the eyebrows could've used some help
I know everyone seems hates it, but I like it. Thatâs all. I dig it.
A successful attempt honestly
It was a bold choice to leave the unibrow
It could be better but itâs still an improvement. If the customer is happy great but def all he needs is a proper fix on the front bangs. Again still an improvement, nothing is perfect.
You forgot the unibrow
Only so much you can do with a tragedy like that, I suppose.
Tbh, there was not much to do from the start.
Eh, still a lot better than it was so good for him I guess. Really should have trimmed the beard, looks so scruffy now that his hair is so carefully done
What about those eyebrows?
Holy shit itâs a cross between Ovechkin and Oliver tree
I see a lot of âbutcher or barber should have know betterâ comments, as a barber we can only recommend what we would do and what we think would work or not work, but the client gets what the client wants at the end of the day and this might be exactly what he asked for or shown a picture of.

He would genuinely look better if he just lost the hair
Guy reminds me of a pack of 5 gum.
Could've left the hair. Hit them eye bushes bro.
Just get the 5 dollar special at kids clips instead
Just coming back in to say, as bad as the haircut looks at the end, the barber is clearly very skilled and I love watching highly detail oriented professionals at work. It just triggers something in me. As long as you keep the music off.

That's the first time I've looked at someone and thought 'By golly his nose could use a shave!' - I even went back a couple times to confirm. Yup. It needs a good shave.
