Three-question conversation check

Will this work for me?

Compare your routine with the catalogue tags, then carry the useful context into your private barber brief. This is a starting point—not a suitability score or result prediction.

Plain-language starting points

What you could discuss

These are editable prompts, not exact instructions or a substitute for an in-person consultation.

  1. 1

    Use High Burst Fade as the starting reference.

  2. 2

    Take the burst higher around the ear while keeping the curve controlled.

  3. 3

    Keep enough top density to balance the stronger fade contrast.

  4. 4

    Please adjust the finish after checking my current length, density, and growth pattern.

Add current length, routine, and keep/avoid outcomes in the full builder.

What the catalogue description is trying to show

  • The higher curve should still read as a burst fade, not a regular high fade.
  • The final shape should be checked from the side, front, and back before the neckline is finished.

Upkeep and styling considerations

  • Clean the high arc before regrowth softens the contrast.
  • Book frequent touch-ups every 1 to 2 weeks if you want the edge to stay sharp.
  • Start styling with matte clay, then add more product only where the top needs control.
