Jadiel has developed a real passion for the barbering field and has been experimenting with different hairstyles on himself. He’s really eager to improve his skills because he’s thinking about making a career out of it. After looking into what he might need, he discovered that there are several tools essential for him to get started. He’s looking to get a clipper/trimmer combo, a full shaver, a mannequin that represents African American hair and has a full beard, a cape to keep things tidy, and a bag to store all his gear.
