In his craft, Alberto\u00a0utilizes an authentic set of tools to cut the hair of his\u00a0clientele: torches, whips, swords and sharp steel talons. At first, the sight of these might spook away prospective customers; however, the stylist guarantees the\u00a0<strong>safe usage of the weapons<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"the-process\"><\/span><strong>The process<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The client lays the head back, while Alberto starts his work with\u00a0<strong>two swords<\/strong>, leaving the cutting approximately even. The curling ends of hair are eradicated through the use of a\u00a0<strong>brazing torch<\/strong>\u00a0with the temperature of the flame reaching nearly 1300 degrees Celsius! For different forms of hairstyles, Olmedo uses different sets of weapons. Finishing forms are applied through the use of the steel talons, which according to the innovative stylist add volume to the concluding work.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"additional-information\"><\/span><strong>Additional information<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/1397513278_1c286abefb_b.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4945\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-4945 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/1397513278_1c286abefb_b-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Barber Shop\" width=\"224\" height=\"236\" \/><\/a>Given we are in the of information, it is possible to find\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0IBZ1PxmOAw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">videos<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0that show how this stylist performs his tricks for the camera.
