Feedback from a client's mom changed my fade after 5 years

I had this one regular who always got a mid fade from me, never complained. Then his mom came in with him last month and said the transition from the skin to the hair looked rushed. She showed me a picture of exactly how she wanted it blended. I spent 20 minutes on just that fade, using a .5 guard open and closing the blade slowly. Now I do that step on every client and it looks way cleaner. Anyone else had a client's relative teach them something they missed?

Moms have a way of noticing things we've gotten blind to over time. That trick with the .5 guard and closing the blade slowly is a good one, I've started doing the same thing after a client's dad pointed out a similar issue with my fades. Sometimes the most useful feedback comes from someone just watching closely rather than the person in the chair.

Moms always spot the little things we miss.
