Talk to your barber!

Think back to your last haircut.
How’d you feel about it when you walked out of the shop? Disappointed?
While your disappointing haircut might have been due to poor barbering, it’s often the case that your poor communication with the barber was at least partly to blame.
Barbers can’t read minds. (at least some of them can’t)
Tell him what general style you want or bring a picture of yourself after a haircut that you really liked, Tell him how much you want taken off and where, Tell him if you want a taper, Tell him what kind of neckline (or nape) you want, Tell him if you want any texture in your hair, Tell him how you want your arches, Tell him how you like your sideburns
Or better watch&listen:

Your relationship with your barber is like any good relationship-communication should be a two-way street.
He should listen to what you’re looking for and give you feedback and advice. A good barber will ask you if you’re happy with how your hair looks as he goes along. If your barber doesn’t communicate at all and doesn’t listen to your preferences, it’s probably time to pick a new barber.
One of the best parts of the barbershop tradition is that as you partake of this manly ritual, the barber can become your buddy, someone you’re not only comfortable with, but look forward to seeing. After awhile, all you’ll have to say when you plop down in his chair is, “Give me the usual!”
