Hello I've had short spikes for my whole life 18 years now I want a more grown up hairstyle, ive been growing out my hair for about a year now with no haircut what so ever. My bangs are down to my eyes and the back covers my neck. I can achieve somewhat of this look but i think a haircut will make it even better anyways here is what I'm aiming for Anyways, my question is what kind of haircut should I ask for? Im not very good at the whole barber lingo hehe and is this cut easy to do? Should I go down to the neighborhood asian 11 dollar hair salon or go down to the fancy place down by the mall, in other words, how much skill and cost is this haircut? Oh and I use Gatsby mat type hair wax from my local Mitsuwa \( ^ ^)/ Thanks -Haku |

| it's a relatively easy cut to do, just print out hte pictures(colour would help) and then give it to them. Let me tell you though, it's going to take a while to grow out those side hairs that he has, I think they're abotu as long as mine. I think mine's longer, anyways, it's relatively easy for asian barbers to do so long as they're used to doing those cuts. They're quite popular in Asia now. Don't expect it to be easy to style though, ti takes a bit of time to learn to do it like that. |

hmm maybe you should go to the asian salon perhaps if they know what they are doing coz 11 dollars is pretty cheap for a haircut like that but then you really have to ask them if they the done this hairstyle ------------- ARGHH |

I have the same style of hair but I spike the front up and to the left, and almost exactly the same length as in the picture. However, I have problems with styling the back of the hair. I use a japanese clay wax. Main problem is the visibilty of the back. I try to hold out a small mirror in front of me, with my back facing the large bathroom mirror. This somewhat works but is very difficult to view certain angles and restricts me to style with one hand. The end result is I end up making it messy and flat. It may not just be the visibilty that makes it difficult though. I'm not entirely sure how to make it look layered on top of eachother on the back like that. What I try to do is spike downwards in different directions. Advice please. I'm Asian (hk) w/ medium thickness. This style at hair salon is shaving, correct? Cause thats what they did to me. BTW, re: to original post, is that $11 USD? that seems a bit too cheap. I atleast spend around $22 (canadian) but it end up about $35 (canadian) cause it fancy salon with tv and they 'CWC' before cutting. |
