What to ask for

Danish barbers use many of the same terms as in the UK and US. These help you get the cut you want:

• Fade: Sides that go gradually from very short to longer. Say low, mid, high or skin fade.
• Taper: A softer version where only the neckline and sideburns are shortened.
• Guard number: The clipper length, e.g. “a 2 on the sides”.
• Textured crop: Short, textured top pushed forward.
• Scissor cut: No clippers, for a softer, more natural look.

A photo on your phone is the easiest way to avoid misunderstandings. Read more (in Danish) about fade types and reverse fades.
