The upper corner of the ear creates a small turn in the haircut's perimeter. Leaving more length there produces a different frame from exposing the corner clearly. This can be discussed separately from how close the lower side becomes.
What to discuss with your barber
For a business haircut, ask your barber to show the intended line around that turn. You may prefer a compact opening above the ear while retaining fullness behind it. A side view can make the distinction visible before the outline is refined. During a Sydney CBD consultation, specifying this corner helps translate a general request for a tidy side into a more exact relationship between the perimeter and the surrounding panel.
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.
