About This Tool
Most guys dread the moment the barber asks "what do you want?" This barber instruction generator builds a clear, copy-paste script based on your exact preferences so you walk in with confidence and walk out with the haircut you actually wanted. Not sure which guard size you need? Check our Hair Clipper Guard Converter first.
How to Use
Select your haircut type, sides length, top style, and blend preference across four steps. The generator produces a natural-language barber script, technical breakdown with guard numbers, and pro tips. Use our Haircut Frequency Calculator to know when to schedule your next appointment.
FAQ
What if my barber does not understand the instructions?
Show the technical details on your phone. Guard numbers and inch measurements are universal barber language. Reference photos are your best backup - save two or three that show front, side, and back angles. Our Hair Clipper Guard Converter can help you explain lengths in both millimeters and inches.
Should I bring reference photos even with these instructions?
Absolutely. Photos and verbal instructions work together, not as replacements. The photos show the end result and the instructions communicate technical details. Together they eliminate miscommunication. Save photos to your camera roll so you are not searching Instagram in the chair. Men's Health calls this combo the gold standard for barber communication.
How much should I tip my barber?
The standard tip is 15-20% of the service cost. If your barber goes above and beyond with styling advice or extra detail work, tip 20-25%. For regulars, a holiday tip equivalent to one full haircut cost ensures priority treatment year-round. Budget your tipping into the annual cost shown by our Haircut Frequency Calculator.
