A side part can be sharply visible or only suggested by the way the hair falls. When discussing Japanese and Western barbering, describe how noticeable you want that division to be. The style name alone may not tell the barber which impression you prefer.
What to discuss with your barber
Ask to see the difference made by the final combing motion. You might like an orderly direction while preferring the line itself to remain soft. That is a finishing choice worth explaining separately from length. A demonstration gives you an action to repeat at home and a way to describe the outcome later. Individual preferences cross barbering traditions, so your own visual reference should guide the conversation more than a cultural category.
