Back in the day it was high-and-tight or a fade. Now it's "trim it up and take it off the ears".

Regular haircut with box taper and don't cut my sideburns off at the top of my ears.

I have been going to the same barber for many years, I dont have a clue what I get. I need to figure it out as I am moving out of state in October. I keep it really short, i dont know about the whole numbering system thing, but if i had to guess, i would guess a 1 on the sides and back with a 2 or 3 on top.

I don't have to ask, I have been going to the same hairdresser for lone enough that I just sit down and she cuts my hair the way I want it cut.

usually a 3, 4, or 5 on the sides depending on how long I want my hair, then a smaller number for the back. Then I tell them to "blend it" for the top.

6 on top 1 on the back, call it a fade.

Guys that cuts my hair has been cutting hair for 30 years so he knows what he's doing.

1/2 to 3/4 off the top, sides and back buzzed all the way down using 1/2 or 1 (depending on how i feel)...blend it all around...square back...no sideburns...

Shorter, but longer than last time. Just got a haircut, told them to leave it longer since i hate how I look with short hair. Well, I really effed the dog this time. As usual, had to take of glasses and I can't see anything. Didn't put back on until I left; long story short, I've "corrected" it personally two times in the past few days.
