The salon brief

Start with length and perimeter

Identify where the cut ends and whether the lower edge looks blunt, rounded, graduated, or broken up. Those decisions remain visible even when the hair is styled differently.

Compare layers with your natural texture

Layers behave differently on straight, wavy, curly, fine, and dense hair. Focus on where they begin and how much weight remains at the ends.

Build a clearer salon reference

Combine a front image with a side or back view when possible. Name the exact details you want preserved instead of asking for the entire photograph to be copied.
