Vent: My neckline work was always a bit off until a client pointed it out

I was finishing a fade on a regular, and he asked if I could 'square it up a bit more' because his collar kept hitting the line wrong. I looked closer and saw I was rounding the corners too much, basically following the natural hairline instead of creating the sharp shape. How do you guys make sure your necklines are crisp and straight every single time?

Honestly, that's why I always step back and squint at it from a distance before I call it done.

Yeah, that "square it up" comment would've made me look closer too lol. It's a simple thing that's easy to miss.

So what's the actual fix when you see something like that, just a quick re-measure or is there a better way to catch it early? I've definitely sent stuff to print only to realize a shape was off by a tiny bit. It's one of those things that feels obvious after the fact, but in the moment you're just focused on the bigger picture. Makes you wonder how many little errors slip through because no one said the magic words to look closer.
