A barber's styling advice is most useful when it begins with your existing equipment. If you are choosing a barber near Martin Place, explain whether you own a dryer, a comb, a brush or none of these. Ask how the finish could be adapted around that starting point.

What to discuss with your barber

There may be a difference between the chair finish and the quickest version you can manage yourself. That difference should be explained plainly. You can then decide whether learning another tool is worthwhile. A good comparison question is, “What would I do with only my current comb?” The answer reveals how well the styling explanation responds to your circumstances instead of depending on a full collection of accessories.
