A business haircut can keep stronger corners across the top while softening into a rounded rear outline. The two features do not have to compete if the transition is planned. Asking for a square haircut without specifying the back may leave this relationship uncertain.

What to discuss with your barber

Show your barber where you want the angles to remain visible and where the shape should begin curving. A three-quarter rear view can help explain the change between them. During a Sydney CBD consultation, this is a useful way to combine structure with a less angular back. The request becomes about the placement of particular contours rather than forcing one geometric description onto the entire head.

Plan your Sydney CBD appointment

The Signature Grooming Course is AUD150, with a first-visit option at AUD120. It includes consultation, haircut, shampoo, hot towel, Japanese facial shaving, shoulder and neck massage, and styling. Confirm additions and the total before booking. For straight, coarse or dense hair that resists movement, ask whether an iron perm is suitable. Perm courses start at AUD250 including haircut and shaving. Iron perms are not recommended on bleached hair; other perm techniques should be confirmed at consultation.
