Questions
- What do you ask the barber for?
- A low taper on the sides, skin only at the ear and nape, and three and a half to four inches left on top, point-cut so it splits down the middle. Say 'low taper, keep the length on top, middle part'.
- What is the difference between this and curtains?
- The sides. Curtains are grown out over the ears with no clipper work at all. This keeps the centre part but cuts the sides short with a taper, so it looks tidy without waiting for the sides to grow.
