What to ask for so you get the cut you pictured
Bring a photo
Not so your barber copies it, but because it removes the guesswork about length and shape. Two photos are better than one: one of the top, one of the sides.
Learn your guard numbers
A #1 on the sides is a completely different cut than a #3. Once you know the numbers that worked, every future visit anywhere gets faster and more accurate.
Say how you style it at home
Product or no product, five minutes or fifteen, hat every day or never. Your barber cuts differently depending on the answer, and this is the sentence most people skip.
