How to explain the haircut you want to your barber

“Short on the sides and a bit on top” can mean ten different haircuts. Here is how to explain yourself clearly.

1. Bring a photo

It is the fastest way. Two or three photos are better, even from the side and from behind. Tell us what you do not like as well.

2. Tell us your routine

How much time do you have in the morning? Do you use wax or gel? A beautiful cut that needs 15 minutes of styling is not right for someone who rushes out the door.

3. Talk about length in centimetres

“A finger’s width off” is clearer than “trim it a little”. For the sides you can give the clipper guard number, if you know it.

4. Show where you want the parting

Parting on the right, on the left, or no parting? Combed back or forward? These details change the result.

5. Stop us if something does not feel right

Better to say so straight away than at the end of the cut. That is perfectly normal for us: it is your haircut.

You can also write your preferences in the booking notes: we read them before you arrive.
