Tried a new shear technique on a thick beard and it went sideways

I was working on a guy with a really dense, curly beard in the shop yesterday and decided to try point cutting into the bulk instead of my usual thinning shears. The hair just kept springing up unevenly and I had to spend twenty extra minutes fixing it. What's your go-to method for managing that kind of heavy beard texture?

Honestly, is it ever that big of a deal? Clients barely notice a twenty minute fix, they're just happy to be in the chair. I've had way worse mess ups that nobody said a word about. Just blend it out and move on, it's not like you gave him a bald spot.

My last twenty minute fix turned into a free haircut.

Susan's right about clients not noticing, but that twenty minutes eats into your next appointment.
