Piecey, textured and separated can sound similar, but they may suggest different results to different barbers. Show whether you mean a few visible sections at the front, a deliberately loose surface or movement throughout the top. This matters more than deciding which country has the correct definition.
What to discuss with your barber
Ask the barber to create one small example with their fingers before finishing the whole head. You can then explain whether that separation feels too pronounced or just right. When discussing Japanese and Western styling language, treat these words as starting points. A visible example and your own response provide a shared reference that can be carried into future appointments without requiring perfect knowledge of professional vocabulary.
