Elevation is the angle at which hair is lifted from the head during cutting. It helps explain how a barber distributes length and weight, but the number by itself does not describe an entire haircut. The section, direction and head shape also affect the result.
You do not need to request a technical angle to receive a precise cut. Instead, ask where fullness will remain and where the outline will become lighter. Japanese and Western barbers may teach these ideas with different terminology. A clear explanation should connect the method to something you can see, allowing you to judge the proposed shape without needing to reproduce a barbering lesson.
