A barber may deliberately leave two sections separate because connecting them would remove a feature of the design. This is different from overlooking a transition. The distinction lies in an agreed intention and an outline that makes sense as a whole.
What to discuss with your barber
When comparing Japanese and Western barbering, ask whether an apparent separation is part of the proposal. Your barber can show where it sits and how it affects the side or rear view. You may prefer a continuous shape instead, which is equally useful information. Understanding the reason behind the decision helps you judge the haircut by its intended result rather than assuming that every visible contrast must be blended away.
