How to Describe a Hairstyle to Your Barber: A Guide

Question

Don't know hairstyle   Hello, I want to get my brother a haircut like this but I don't know what I would tell the barber? Please help me!

Answer
Hi Vanessa,

Is this the right photo? You say you don't want bangs below the brow but this photo is a short hair cut.


There's no universal Hairdresser language. Your best bet would be to print the picture and take it with you. If it is not a clipper cut or something like that, I would go to a hairdresser over a barber. Not because barbers don't do a great job. They do. But, most of the barbers in my area don't work in full service salons where you go in and do a full consultation and that sort of thing.

Let me know if there's a  photo missing or try posting again. If this is the haircut you're looking for, just take it with you to the salon.
