My teacher made me watch for weeks before touching hair, and it paid off
A lot of folks now say you can learn just fine from videos and quick classes. I think that misses the point. Back then, I stood quietly and saw how pressure and angle changed everything. Those small details stuck with me for every cut since. You don't get that feel from a screen.

Spot on, you can't replace that real world feel with a screen.

Disagree with this take. I've learned a ton from video tutorials where you can pause and rewind to catch the small stuff. Like, seeing how someone's hands move frame by frame shows details you might miss live. Sure, being there is good, but screens let you focus without the pressure of the moment. Plus, with good audio, you can hear breathing changes just fine. It's a different way to learn, not a worse one.

Hold up, it's not just about the feel. That's part of it. Videos totally miss the subtle stuff. The way a client breathes out when you get the tension right. The tiny shift in their shoulders. You can't learn to read a person from a screen. You have to be there. Watching for weeks taught me that, not just the hand skills.
