Haircut terms used by barbers

Choppy - For this type of haircut barbers cut the hair at different lengths with the point cutting technique. This is done by holding the scissors almost parallel to the hair when cutting. Point Cutting removes bulk from the ends and gives texture to the hair as the hair ends are cut at uneven lengths.

Club Cutting - Unlike point cutting with this technique the hair is cut straight across leaving the ends blunt. This technique is used when texture is not required.

The crop or French crop has been very popular. It usually consists of a very short haircut with a scissor-cut top and clipper-cut sides. The fringe is typically styled down onto the forehead and cut blunt across, revealing most of the forehead.

A haircut is disconnected when a part of the hair is cut at a different length from another adjacent part with no blending. Modern undercuts are often disconnected, unlike undercuts from the 90's where the hair was faded without a blunt disconnection.

Hard side parting - To create a hard part/parting, the hairdresser will use the bare trimmer or clipper blade to shave in the parting to make it more noticeable.

Pompadour - This hairstyle has a high quiff rolled back off the forehead

Skin fade - With a fade the hair is cut to expose the scalp at the nape and sides. A high fade is where the hair does not slowly fade out until it reaches the hairline but instead, the scalp is exposed higher up e.g. near the temples or occipital bone.

Edging - This is where the hairdresser will use the corner of the hair trimmer to cut clear edges around the neckline, ears, sideburns, temples and often the forehead.

With the clipper over comb or scissor over comb technique, the barber can achieve a short cut with a softer finish. When clipper guard attachments are fitted to the clippers, the result is a more uniform haircut.
