A diagonal fringe creates a different frame from a straight or rounded edge. The highest and lowest endpoints matter as much as the centre length. If one endpoint is shortened without discussing the other, the slope can change substantially.

Ask your barber to show the intended direction across your forehead before the perimeter is refined. You might want a subtle angle or a clearly visible diagonal. Check the shape with your head level so a tilted position does not confuse the reference. During a Japanese barber consultation in Sydney CBD, identifying both endpoints gives your barber a concrete description without requiring you to know the technical name of the style.
