I have read some interesting material on websites run by people who obviously really like very short men's haircuts. In some documents, people indicate that for them a good barber is one who will start the work without saying "are you sure?" when the client requests a major length reduction.
Just out of interest, how do you guys view this? Imagine that you had medium-length hair and decided to get a crewcut. Wouldn't it be logical for the barber to briefly check if you were sure, just in case you were acting on impulse or did not know 100% what you were asking for?

George Bernard Shaw once said "The problem with communication is the illusion that is has occurred."
As a general rule, I like to make sure we have clear agreement before I allow people with sharp objects to approach me real close. That's true for barbers, stylists, surgeons or back alley thugs. Although if the barber is an exceptionally attractive woman...
If you aren't sure what you are asking for, that's what you will get.
