A broad top can sit above a relatively low side transition, preserving width higher on the head while keeping the lower perimeter compact. Raising the transition would change that relationship, even if the top length stayed similar. The height should therefore be agreed before cutting.
What to discuss with your barber
Ask your barber to show the upper limit of the close section. Explain whether the broad top is a feature you want retained or something you want narrowed. For a business haircut in Sydney CBD, this separates two design decisions that are often described together as shorter sides. A clear boundary helps establish how the lower finish and upper silhouette will relate in the completed shape.
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.
