A NEW POSSIBILITY
Buzz cut
A close, even crop with little length to style. A preview can help you explore the change in silhouette before cutting.
- Talk to your stylist about
- Discuss clipper length and whether you want an even cut or a taper.
- Living with the look
- Regular cuts keep the length consistent.
- A helpful reality check
- A preview cannot predict how your hair will fall, feel or grow. Use it to discuss length and shape, alongside your texture and routine.
What defines Buzz cut?
A buzz cut keeps the top very close, so the outline follows the head rather than forming a visible fringe or peak.
What to look for from the front, side and back
Check the shape at the temples from the front. From the side and back, the ear, crown and neckline become the main reference points.
What to confirm with your stylist
Agree on the shortest clipper length first. Ask to see how an even length compares with a subtle change around the sides.

Questions about Buzz cut
Will one clipper length look uniform everywhere?
