How would I go about describing this kind of haircut to a barber (not that it's like rocket science but I don't know
)

Ok, first.. take the picture. It really is worth a thousand words. To me, the haircut just looks slightly longer on top than the sides. It appears to be cut with a "Scissor over comb" technique. Different from clippers, as it adds more texture and a more natural, lived in look. Key word being texture. How this exact haircut looks on you is VERY dependent on your hair texture and growth patterns. Short haircuts are heavily influenced by growth patterns. Make sure your stylist examines your hair for growth pattern abnormalities (like cowlicks). That all being said. Texture (added in the cut) and proper use of styling product should produce similar results. Also.. don't skimp on the haircut. The people at Great Clips suck. Period. Go to a decent/nice salon. Saving a bit of money for a possibly HORRIBLE haircut is not worth it. And tip your stylist... Let us know how it goes. =) | ||

Since you and at least one other guy here seems to know things about hair, I have a question. :D Do you find that people who go to get their hair cut actually know the number system thing (like how you said "3 or 4 blade")? Because I've been to barbers that were like "What number do you want for the length?" and my only response is "... idk dude." Maybe its just me thats dumb but I cant imagine too many would really know wtf they're talking about. | ||

Maybe its just me thats dumb but I cant imagine too many would really know wtf they're talking about. i was thinking the same, until one day i had a bright idea -- after getting a haircut of just the right length, i asked "hey so if i want to get this exact cut again, how do i describe it best? like what # and stuff" the barber was very helpful so then some time later i walk in for another haircut, armed with my new knowledge and feeling confident, plopped down in my seat, said ". . . and number x on the sides". Stylist replies "sorry we dont do numbers here" >.< | ||

Maybe its just me thats dumb but I cant imagine too many would really know wtf they're talking about. I don't know that much but I have a similar hairstyle except i keep the side/back shorter/buzzed a bit more but I ask for a "2 or 3 blade on the sides and back, and scissors on the top down to about an inch and a half or so" and it comes out to the same result, since that picture looks like its not like he got it freshly cut, i'd say the sides/back are a 3 or 4, but thats with a electric razor, for all i know brad pitt gets his softer look on the sides because his gosu stylist uses scissors, but at least you'll get a similar style the way I said it. Also, every stylist should know the numbers, a 0 is like all the way down, 1 would be like super short but still visible, 2 means its like about a quarter inch maybe, but very short buzz still, etc. Edit: Seems liek you got your cut, worst comes to worst you can try again in a month and a half lol, thats how it goes. Bringing in a picture or magazine isn't a bad idea, they're used to it so try that next time if you like. | ||

What's kinda dependa on you though, is the sideburns the model is showing, as well as the direction your hair grows. This guy's got a sidecut and moderate sideburns, and if you haven't got good beard growth yet or got a different kind of hair growth, then you're simply screwed. | ||
