Had a kid in my chair ask for the 'grandpa special' last week

Honestly, this little guy, maybe 8 years old, hops up and asks for a haircut like his grandpa gets. I asked what that meant and he said 'Just make the top look like a cloud and the sides like a sidewalk.' Tbh, it took me a second, but I realized he meant a classic scissor-over-comb top with clean clipper sides. Ngl, it made me laugh and also think about how we describe our work. How do you guys explain classic cuts to new clients?

You say it's just a haircut, but isn't the whole point that words mean different things to different people? That kid's description was way more helpful than a client just saying "short". Doesn't that show how important clear talk actually is?

Hah, that's cute. But seriously, it's just a haircut, not rocket science.
