Comment on Does anyone speak hairdresser? I need help communicating.

Highly recommend looking up a guide from a hair cutting chain. From the sounds of it you want a crewcut ~20mm 3/4", “blend the sides” so that it transitions well, they might ask what size to buzz the side, you can just say “shorter than the top”. Crew cut will give you the longest time between haircuts as well, take notes of the actual length or clip size so you can be more precise next time. www.greatclips.com/lookbook/crew-haircut

I’ll also drop this in case it helps: Image

This tracks, except which world does the author of this graphic live in where triangles are shaped that way?

  Lol, right? That’s an egg, or better yet, one of the Oblongs.

Cool thanks, and I think I even have the correct column for my shape!

It is tough. Apparently some of my haircutters think I look best like ….

you can just say “shorter than the top”.

does this mean anything, though?

I mean, could someone even possibly say “longer than the top” and be taken seriously?

(And no, no no, stop right there----don’t even think of reminding me that mullets exist.)

  You can also have a seamless transition, multiple varieties of the fade or a tapered cut. High end barbers also shave art into side of the head. Lots of different options, but generally people do fades.
