Length & blend
Agree on how short the sides should go and how much should come off the top.
Good to know
A photo, a few honest preferences, and a little time to talk are enough to get started.
Before the appointment
A little context helps us understand your routine and avoid the changes you were not looking for.
Tell us whether you air-dry, blow-dry, use product, or want to be out the door in a hurry.
Keeping length, covering a particular area, avoiding a hard part: say it before the cut starts.
One or two photos are enough. Point out the exact detail you like rather than trying to match every strand.
In the chair
The consultation should make the plan clear. If something sounds different from what you had in mind, ask before the clippers start.
Agree on how short the sides should go and how much should come off the top.
Discuss the neckline, sideburns, beard connection, and whether you prefer a natural or sharper outline.
Looking after the cut
A few practical questions can be more useful than a shelf full of products you will never use.
Ask what finish and hold suit your hair, and how much to apply. Start with less and add only if needed.
It depends on the style and how quickly your hair grows. Ask for a maintenance rhythm that suits your routine.
