Yes. They are drawn charts with labels, not photographs, so they print as reference sheets.

What do the guard numbers show?

One head is graded in bands from the neck up, labelled #0, #1, #2, #3 and #4, so each band can be matched to a guard number.

What is the difference between the styles?

Barber poster is bold black outlines with a fade in dense stipple that thins upward. Pencil sketch is graphite with fine hair strokes and smudged shading. Gray bands fills the fade in stepped flat gray.

Can I ask for a different subject?

Yes. Type a direction, such as burst fade, and the page asks for that subject in the same three styles. It is a request, not a guaranteed result.

A fade chart lets a barber and a client agree on how high a fade starts. The nine pictures show side views of men's heads with each fade height, one head graded in guard numbers from #0 to #4, and the taper, drop and burst shapes. Type a different subject or twist, such as curly top, and the page asks for it in the same three styles.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
