The section directly below the crown contributes to the rear profile. Shortening it substantially can flatten the back even when the crown itself remains long. If you like some depth in that area, identify it explicitly before the haircut begins.

Ask your barber to show where the crown ends and the back panel begins in the proposed design. You may want a continuous curve or a more defined change of shape. A profile reference is especially useful because a front image hides this relationship. At a Japanese barber visit in Sydney CBD, discussing the supporting section below the crown can help preserve a rear silhouette that you would otherwise find difficult to describe.
