Barbershop
Today, I went to a new barber. I have fallen in love with the barbershop experience and I can't imagine going to a "stylist" ever again. The process is simple, if you know what you want, and relaxing, if you go to the right place.
You need to know your numbers, and what they mean. I like a 2 on the sides (that's a 1/4 inch) and hand cut on top. Then squared up all around, leaving the sideburns long but squared up.

The experience is best if you find an old school barbershop where they are as into class as you are. And the best thing about barbershops? The average cut is $10-$14.
Also remember, if you don't like the cut you don't have to go back, and your hair is short so wait 2 weeks and find someone else, and when you find the barber who does it "just right" keep going back.

are barbers open to uneven on top?
Yes, a good barber will know how to use more than the clippers. I have very thick hair and I always need it thinned (a technique accomplished with thinning shears). I have been to some barbers who look at me like a little crazy girl when I ask, but they have ALWAYS given poor cuts.
My favorite barber suggested it on his own, and I knew I had a keeper.
