Please read and learn the terminology below.
You and your stylist will have less problems understanding one another!
*Guideline - is a precut hair strand used as a guide that is followed with other hair strands divided into sections in order to create a pattern of a balanced hair cut.
*Haircutting- (also hair shaping) - is the process of cutting, tapering, texturizing and thinning using any hair cutting tools in order to create a shape.
*Trimming- removing only split ends with scissors or razor (about 1/4 to 1/2 of an inch).
*Layer Cutting - the opposite of a blunt cut. The hair is cut under a certain angle and falling in a cascading style
*Tapering/Feathering - shortening the hair in a graduated effect. This expression is used for very short hair cuts. Many men ask for a tapered cut on the neck and back of their head.
