Men's haircut charts: nine named cuts, four lengths, a blank head

A men's haircut chart lets you ask a barber for a cut by its name. Nine cuts sit on labelled heads: Buzz cut, Crew cut, Taper, Undercut, Pompadour, Quiff, French crop, Side part and Slick back. Four lengths follow, Short to Long. A blank head has lines for Top, Sides and Back, so you can mark your cut. Type a style, such as curly hair, and the chart is drawn for it.

Frequently asked questions

How do I ask for a cut by its name?

Point to the cut on the chart and say its name, such as Taper or Crew cut. Each name is written under its head.

Does the chart say how long to leave it?

The length set shows Short to Long, but the exact length on your head depends on the guard your barber uses and on the cut.

Can I type a different cut?

Yes. Type the cut or look you want, such as long hair, and the chart is drawn for it in place of the nine shown.

What do the three styles look like?

The line chart is barber's black ink with each cut filled solid, the pencil sketch is soft graphite, and the old barbershop version is a cross-hatched engraving.

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.
