Haircuts that work
A good cut does not change the stage, but it changes how much it shows. These guides cover the cuts barbers reach for at each stage, what to ask for, and the one thing a fresh cut does to your monthly photos.

Heads up
A fresh short haircut shows more scalp than the same head a week later. Take your monthly photos at a similar length, or note the cut in the check-in, or the trend will read a haircut as a change.
