A label such as Japanese or Western barbering describes a broad context, but it cannot determine the exact construction your haircut needs. The useful decisions concern where to retain length, how to connect sections and which outline you prefer. Those decisions should respond to the individual design.
What to discuss with your barber
Ask your barber to explain one adaptation being proposed for your head shape. It might involve preserving a corner or changing the curve at the back. This gives you something concrete to evaluate. A comparison grounded in that detail respects different training approaches without ranking cultures or assuming every barber within one tradition uses the same methods to produce the same results.
