The details
A cut with your style in mind.
A taper gradually shortens the hair around the sideburns and neckline while keeping more of the overall shape. It can be a good direction when you like the length you have but want the edges to look cleaner. The result depends on where the transition begins and how closely the shorter areas are cut.
Tell your barber whether you want to preserve fullness on the sides, keep a longer top, or change the silhouette. If you are growing your hair out, mention that before the cut so the discussion starts with the length you want to protect.
At Precision Cuts of WNY on Union Road in Cheektowaga, you can reserve a date and time online, then discuss your taper preferences with Mr. Sim at your appointment. Bring a photo if you have a particular finish in mind.
