Quiff
Volume lifted at the front and swept back, shorter at the sides. It adds height, which is why it flatters a round face, and it needs product every morning without exception.

What to say
Ask for it like this.
Barbers work from instructions, not vibes. These are the three things that decide whether you get this cut or something adjacent to it.
- Ask for a quiff with length kept at the front and graduated shorter towards the crown.
- Say how much height you want — this is the one measurement that matters.
- Ask for a fade or taper on the sides depending on how formal you want it.
