Side Part
A defined part with the bulk swept to one side. The most conservative cut on this list and the one that reads best in a room full of suits. Fine hair suits it better than thick.

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 side part and say which side you part naturally.
- Say whether you want a hard part cut in or a natural one.
- Ask for a taper on the sides unless you specifically want the sharper faded version.
Combinations using this cut
What it pairs with.
A cut is two decisions — sides and top. These are the pairings this one turns up in, with the upkeep of the pair rather than of the half.
