Buzz Cut

One guard, whole head, done. It exposes the shape of your skull completely, which is either the point or the problem. No styling, no product, no bad hair days.

No clippers — scissor length throughout

What to say

Ask for it like this.

Barbers work from instructions, not vibes. These are the three things that decide whether you get this cut or something adjacent to it.

  1. Give the guard number. A one is shadow, a three is visible hair.
  2. Say whether you want it graduated at all, or genuinely one length.
  3. Ask for the neckline and sideburns cleaned up — that is what separates it from a home job.
Living with it

One to two weeks to stay sharp, though it is passable for a month.
