MIKE CHIARELLI
 
 As a barber stylist and, Oster® Ambassador Mike Chiarelli relies on the basics in clipper cutting to serve his clientele. He prides himself in sharing the basics with his students. “When I’m in front of a class, it’s not about me — it’s about the class,” says Mike. “I’m here to teach you what you want to learn, and will give 110% of myself to make sure that happens.” His favorite tool? The Oster® Titan™ clipper. “It’s an all-purpose universal tool that lets me do everything I need to because of the blade selection,” he says. “But,” he adds, “it’s also important to have a whole arsenal of clippers. Think of a carpenter, who carries more than one screwdriver. Follow that approach and invest in the tools that will help you be the best you can be.” Words of wisdom: “You need to build your skills starting with the fundamentals. Your best bet? Get a mannequin and practice basic skills before trying clipper cuts on your clients. Remember, when you stop learning, you stop earning.”
