While ordering a crew cut is easy, since it’s on the menu, what about other kinds?
Can you just go “I’d like a men/women’s haircut” and leave it at that, or do you need something more specific, like saying you want a Charlestone done by a No. 3 to the sides, and a 4 up top?

“Like it is now…only shorter.”
Pretty much.
Just reverse this shape by a few months.
i show them a picture of my cock. please make my head look like this.
gets the curling iron
I throw up some confusing explanation with gestures before my barber does the same haircut they did to me for 5+ something years. Idk what would I do if they retire.
You can either describe what you want, or show a picture of a haircut that you like.
best to show a picture.
That’s what i do, but they never really listen, even though i usually ask to just cut off x cm or something.
go somewhere else, sounds like they don’t value their customers. I’ve never had this experience
Or, at least, try someone else. What’s the worst that could happen; they ignore you like these guys? right?
I bring a picture of myself with the haircut I want.
Husband says tight fade, zero to very short on top and that gets him what he wants, he goes to the same barber lady all the time, she doesn’t speak English and he doesn’t speak Spanish but they still manage to communicate the haircut information.

This is awesome. I have pics of great haircuts I’ve had, for when I move and need a new barber.
#2 on the sides, tapered up to finger length up top. Leave me some extra in the front
You need to be more specific. The last thing barbers need is having to guess what you want.
I get a 4 on the sides, a low taper to 0 on the back, and then say how much I want off top in inches. Letting them know how I comb/style my hair seems helpful as well.
You can also just google a hairstyle and show them a picture.
Make me look like Mr Clean.
Consequently I have not been to a hair salon in 30 years, a razor in the shower is all I need. Although one day I would like to have the whole hot towel shaved head treatment at a professional barber.
I used to do that on my birthday – just for the face, though.
Because it’s fucking awesome.
1-2 on the sides, blend to longer on top, usually comb it over messy like this, just needs to be shortened up on top.
Joe Pera is a treasure
“I dunno. I suck at this. what do you think?”
don’t do that at the cheap joints… but otherwise it usually sets up a good discussion.
protip, if you’re wanting a men’s style… go to a barber. usually less expensive, and usually much better at men’s style. (Also, most barbers don’t care if your a man or woman or non binary. they still won’t charge you extra the same way a stylist will charge some one passing as a woman women’s rates for the same thing. it’s pretty absurd.)
My barber is like c$40 now. Yeesh. But he’s really good – He can almost make me presentable!
Yup.
But like, a “stylist” for the same cut would be significantly more.
At least, a round here the middle of the road stylists are all 60ish where the barbers are 35-40.
“Hello fellow human. I require a haircut. Something like this please shows picture. Thank you”
“One haircut, please.”
Sure thing. Let me get my bowl.
I tend to bring a picture or two of the style I want.
No guard till middle of the ear, #1 with a high and tight fade, finger length on top with a little longer in the front, textured, white walled and squared off.
we serve food here sir
