A NEW POSSIBILITY
Crew cut
A short clipper cut with a little extra height at the front and a clean taper.
- Talk to your stylist about
- Ask for the clipper lengths and compare how much height remains at the front.
- Living with the look
- Regular trims keep the top-to-side transition clear.
- 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 Crew cut?
A crew cut keeps the sides and back close and leaves the front slightly longer than the crown. That small difference creates a defined shape on top.
What to look for from the front, side and back
Look at the small lift over the forehead. Use the profile to see how it drops toward the crown and how the side blends above the ear.
What to confirm with your stylist
Agree on how much front length you want to brush up and where the taper should start. Show how you wear the cut without product.
