Isn't a crew cut super short?


An Ivy League is a crew cut with the hair on the top of the head left long enough to part.


Thank you

I think fades are too close to the skin for my taste. Similar with French crop; too much contrast between buzzing down to skin level and long hair on top. Am I right that the "Ivy League" is what I'm looking for? Would also love if anyone finds a particularly good picture to show the barber.



Give him some pics to browse for ideas but then butt out and let him get the hair cut he wants. My niece and nephew went there, many of their male classmates had sikh or jewish style head gear and females had muslim hijab scarf and no one batted eyes. Every hairstyle or headgear is acceptable.


Last time he told the barber he wanted to be bald like daddy but have hair. Haircut turned out terrible.

Wut?

Your only hope is to find a picture of what you want and show it to a good barber.

Don’t worry about the name of the hairstyle because that’s not really a thing and there’s no way the barber will have the same understanding as you. Just find pictures of what you want.
