Better yet, understand what your barber is doing so you can tell it to someone new.

You used clippers on my head? What size, where?

Did you cut some parts with scissors? How many inches did you cut off that part?

Notice if you have a cowlick that needs special maneuvering around, etc.

It's easier if they know what they're doing rather than trying to figure out how to recreate the final product.

You are that guy that annoys the shit out of barbers and no one wants to cut when you come in.

If its simplified its nice. I liked the guys that sat down and said "number 2 on the sides and finger length on top" or whatever variation of that

People... don't do that? I've literally used that exact form of wording every cut since I 'chose' my own hair styles as a child.

You'd be surprised. I usually got "idk. Shorter." When I asked what they wanted. Sometimes I'd try asking how long it's been since their last cut to get an idea of how much has grown out but then I'd just get a shrug.

Usually the easy ones were the guys that came straight from outdoor work that have been getting the exact same cut since they were kids (or at least most of their adult lives)

Nah. There's nothing wrong with saying "0-3 on the sides, drop the fade at the back and 2 inches on the top". At least you're being clear with what you want.

Nope nothing wrong, however you're telling not asking 50 million questions about what they're doing. HUGE difference.
