Pocket glossary
Six words that get you the haircut you meant.
Taper
Shorter towards the ears and the neck, with the edge left soft. The safe answer when you are unsure.
Fade
A taper taken all the way down to skin. Low, mid or high says how far up the head it climbs.
Number 2
A clipper guard: six millimetres of hair. Each number adds three, so a number 4 leaves twelve.
Scissor cut
No clippers at all. It is slower and softer, and it is the quietest cut we do.
Texture
Cut into the ends so hair sits loose instead of flat. Kind to cowlicks and fine hair.
Square or round
The shape of your neckline. Square looks sharper on day one, round grows out more gently.
