What to Ask For at a Barber Shop?

There are a few things that you should keep in mind when you go to a barbershop. First, make sure you know what type of cut you want. Second, don't be afraid to ask for advice on what style will look best on you. And third, don't be afraid to ask for specific details on how the barber will cut your hair. Many people simply get the same cut each time because they're afraid to talk to their barber - with this in mind, here are some questions you should ask this year!

Are there styles that do and don't suit my hair?

Ask your barber for advice on what styles will and won't suit your hair; they'll be able to give you a good idea of what will work with your hair (and what won't!). For example, if you have very fine hair, a choppy style might not be the best option. The longer the person has been your barber, the better the advice you receive will be. Unfortunately, no hair in the world suits all styles, so it's important to learn this information.

How can I imitate a specific style?

If you're not sure what to ask for at a barbershop, but you have a style in mind that you want to imitate, don't be afraid to bring in a photo. Your barber will be more than happy to help you achieve the look you're going for. Although people often feel awkward showing a photo, this is the best way for the barber to get an image of what you want.

Keep in mind, however, that not every style will suit everyone (just as we've seen!). The best barber shops in Denver will be honest with you and let you know if a certain style won't work well with your face shape or hair type. They'll also be able to suggest alternative styles that will better suit you.

Can you take a little more off, please?

In truth, everybody at some point in their lives has avoided saying this phrase to their barber even though they don't like what they see in the mirror. It's normal to feel a little bit nervous about getting your hair cut, especially if it's your first time at a new barbershop. However, you should always trust your gut and go with the style that you feel most comfortable with...this means telling your barber when it's slightly wrong.

If your hair is still too long for your liking after the initial cut, don't be afraid to ask for a little bit more to be taken off. It's better to err on the side of caution and have your barber take off a little bit more than you wanted rather than not enough - the last thing you want is to be back in the same chair again one week later because it has grown too quickly.

When should I return?

Similarly, if you want to know what to ask at a barber shop, ask your barber how long they think it will be until you need to return. As before, they should be able to give you a good idea of how quickly your hair grows and how often you'll need to come in for a cut. The best barber shops in Denver are honest rather than just trying to get you in more often so that they get more income.

With this, you now know what to ask for at a barber shop and how to approach certain situations. Good luck!
