Can we talk about how everyone wants to fade but nobody wants to pay for the time?

I was talking to this older barber named Sal at the shop on 7th Street last week, and he said something that stuck with me. He told me that 15 minute haircuts are ruining the craft because you can't do a proper fade without rushing and cutting corners. Has anyone else noticed clients getting mad when you take 45 minutes on a precision fade even though the results are way better?

Right, because rushing a fade is like rushing a good steak - you just end up with something burnt and uneven.

You're making it sound like a spiritual practice with @anthonyhunt, not a haircut.
