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