Crew Cut
Short and graduated, slightly longer at the front than the crown, tapered at the sides. The most practical cut in the list — no product needed, no styling, and it never looks wrong.

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.
- Ask for a crew cut with a little more length left at the front.
- Give the guard for the sides and say scissors on top.
- Ask for a taper rather than a fade if you want it softer.
