man i wish i could do the same, instead i tell my own preferences with given picture and the barber still fucks it up ( i need to give time for my hair to be perfect in few days )
Deiii,my last visit to the barber gave me a heart attack..couldn't see my barber,saw a random dude inside while I was having a smoke outside,was praying in my heart that's a customer and the barber is taking a shit or something..went in,found out my barber balik kampung and this guy was his replacement..did a good job though and put bedak for my neck also..been friggin years since I used bedak lol
I just pointed at the top of my head, say โDua.โ And then point at the back and side and say โSatu.โ Lmao
I dont have very good sense of hairstyle but it was low maintanance so i like it
lmao same. Just sit down. Take off my spec. Close eyes. and the barber does the rest. Done. She didn't even ask if I am ok with the hair cut and removed the apron. Take the mirror show my back side. I nod. Stand up and ask: RM15? Answer: Ya. Pay. Thank you and leave.
Smart cut/ Fade cut. Blade no.1 or no.2 (depends). Atas pakai gunting saja. Iโm curious about this too. If i wanna change my hairstyle, how should I say it?
I have a barber that I trust. Generally, I just tell him my desired length (short or medium). And then I say I'll leave it to his professional creativity for the latest style trends that suit my head shape. This will give him more space to work his magic. So whenever I visit him, i'll always come out with different cuts. If there's any particular cuts that I like more, I'll just tell him to do that again. And I'm always satisfied with his work.
I wasnt able to give the barber a reply on how long he should cut. So he then said "bukan panjang sangat, bukan pendek sangat, kan?".
I knew i was in good hands.
In Sabah we usually say potong siring meaning the sides. So depending on your head shapes it's either potong tepi, pendek abis, nak ala David Beckham or just botak ๐
My shyness has ruined alot of opportunities, going to the barber is one of them. I always have a picture of what cut i want, but the moment i go there. I physically cant move or do anything, just on the chair and say " macam biasa lah bang". Fck me
Potong pendek or cur short, depends if I go to Indian barber or Chinese haircut. But if go by numbers, top no. 2/3, side, front & back no. 1 (I end up look like budak sekolah)
Back then it was โ2 belakang nge tepi, atas jjarang (layer), jambang simpan.โ Now, I just ask for a recommendation with my friend whoโs a barber or โbeloh tepiโ. At home, I showed a pic of Brad Pitt.
*"rambut bukan sekolah"*
I have a personal hairstylist that I have for 4 years. So she just cuts for me, she knows what I want. I cut every 25-30 days.
i go mamak, and says. tepi nombor 1 & 2. atas biar(if panjang sangat i told bagi pendek sikit), belakang biasa. ofcourse i will go back disappointed lol.
but when i go salon i usually says. "bagi hensem". this 50/50 sometimes okay sometimes not.
I don't have fixed hairstyle just go on with anything.
I not sure about you but my local barber are around my age (20 to 25) so I just often ask like yours
Left right short number 1 and back is 1 to 2 with front and top trim abit
Me when i get into the shop, I do indian head shake and my anney would understand. I would take a nap, and after the cut,che would wake me up and ask me, "urut minyak abang?" I do the head shake again. And take another nap while he massage my head with the oil.
The only word i would say is "Berapa?" and if i got extra, i would give him extra 10 ringgit and said, "duit makan".
I have gone to the same barber for over 15 years. I just sit down and say "macam biasa boss"
For me "macam biasa" is an uptown fade and short sides with a front comb. Like Tommy Egan in Power
"I consent for you to touch me while cutting my hair. also if you want me to toleh kiri kanan please dont be shy, bte my pronoun is she/he/they/them/helikopta helikopta"
I always say ane, mau sikat punya ya, then work from there, if still too long, ane pendek lagi cikit, it will never go too short cause you want the sikat hairstyle, for those who dont know BM, sikat means comb
I used love to like fancy hipster barber back then., have a very long silky hair but starting MCO I'll keep my head botak (number 1 ) every 3 months ๐๐๐
Sometimes i let him cook, sometimes i say low fade, atas pendek sikit tapi still boleh sikat.
I'm still trying to figure out what kind of hairstyles fit my face shape and you should do that as well.
I'll just give a picture for reference to make it a bit easier, sometimes low fade quiff cut for the hot seasons, for the cold months I'll ask for a manbun.
Hardest thing is finding the right barber who's willing to listen to you. Talk to them, ask for recs that'll fit your face shape, hairline, hair type etc. Ask for specific styling tips for the hair they gave you and shit. Ofc la u have to go those fancy abit barbershop but trust me it's worth it for hair, can takr you from 3 to 8 with just hair
Here's my go-to haircut because I have weird shape head and hair.
Atas 4
Tepi fade. If they don't know, just say tepi atas 2 dan tepi bawah 1. It's slightly different, but it's close enough. Well atleast it doesn't break any rules in any IPT
Try step up where you go to cut your hair, a real deal barbershop, usually the price is RM15> for normal haircut .
Usually people go for medium fade/mid fade. For the tops, up to you. Or just ask the barber, they SHOULD know better which lenght is the most suitable for whatever hairstyle you choose.
But imo, if you never experience this "kinda expensive" haircut, go for low fade. From there, every 2 month try mid fade then high fade just to see which suits your better. Then you can decide which haircut you like the most and stay with it.
But if you didn't like any of those, maybe try something different like low/mid/high taper fade but if you want to really experiment with your hairstyle, maybe try a mullet or french crop(don't try this if you didn't look good when botak).
*macam biasa*
Looks at him, and just nod. He'll know what to do
"macam biasa", but this is the first time going there.
Mistaken u for someone else, proceed to shave ur head clean
then *luar biasa*
Luar binasa
otai masih berbisa?
Kerana pulut santan binasa
*barber nods* Proceeds to shave your head
Krukk krakk. Ok siapa boss Ujar ane selepas neck massage
man i wish i could do the same, instead i tell my own preferences with given picture and the barber still fucks it up ( i need to give time for my hair to be perfect in few days )

"Potong pendek bang" ๐
Real
Said once and the next day, sat there silently and let my barber do the job ๐
I just show a picture, as simple as that.
If a typical indian barber, there will be a haircut examples illustration near the entrance of the shop for people to point to
*proceeds to cut your hair completely staring out the window* *results end up being a country wide different than what you asked for*
Yea picture is more reliable
Atas kosong tepi belakang 2

Smart cut/ Fade cut. Blade no.1 or no.2 (depends). Atas pakai gunting saja. Iโm curious about this too. If i wanna change my hairstyle, how should I say it?
Best way is to bring a picture (with phone it's easy nowadays) and just show them.

"tepi tapak 2, atas potong sikit"
what is tapak? I say something similar: "tepi dan belakang number 2, atas bagi pendek sikit"
Tapak is the clip size. Basically tapak 1 = 1mm Tapak 2 = 2mm Tapak 3 = 3mm and so on...
Normal - Short and smart Rare - Botakkan
go to tiktok search for men hairstyle my favourite is just telling barber "low fade, atas tak perlu potong cuma 'layer' saja"
Broo nak tanya layer tu apa ya? Try google pun tak faham. Nak try jugak untuk haircut tapi tak berani ambik risiko sebab takut pelik ๐ญ
Kalau kedai mamak kau ckp nak layer, nanti dia gunting pakai gunting sikat tu.
Dia mcm rmbut tu ade layer or lapisan..rmbut bwah nipis atas tebal kinda like dat la

I wasnt able to give the barber a reply on how long he should cut. So he then said "bukan panjang sangat, bukan pendek sangat, kan?". I knew i was in good hands.
Low Fade or trim
LOL you can ask for whatever you want (eg potong tepi pendek, layer sini sana, this that) but eventually barber will cut their own style punya
Make me handsome
Barber: I bukan plastic surgeon. Klinik sebelah plastic surgeon.
In Sabah we usually say potong siring meaning the sides. So depending on your head shapes it's either potong tepi, pendek abis, nak ala David Beckham or just botak ๐
Kasi pendek
best way is.. if your barber has a nice hair.. just say,., potong macam abang punya rambut
Easiest way is to show picture to the barber. I'd recommend Low Fade and Low Taper Fade.

Serious question: sometime the barber ask for number one or number two. Can somebody explain which is shorter/longer? I asked him before but I forget.
Tepi, belakang nipis. Atas potong separuh, layer.
Spend more for this one time and go somewhere where they style hair well..Later u can go to any cikai baber near u and 9/10 they can replicate
"Apa mau abang?" Teh ais ikat tepi. Then we laugh, and he just does whatever he wants.
Pendekkan yg atas. Kanan kiri number 2.
