What to ask for so you get the cut you pictured

Bring a photo. Not because your barber will copy it exactly, but because it removes the guesswork about length and shape.

Learn your guard numbers. A #1 on the sides is very different from a #3, and knowing yours makes every future visit faster.

Say how you style it at home. A cut that only works with product and a blow dryer is not the right cut if you leave the house in five minutes.
