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 messy mod cut with the weight removed but the length kept.
- Say you want it to sit forward, not swept back.
- Ask for the fringe left long enough to break up.
