How this haircut is called

[moco]

greetings friends, i just moved to california and was at a partner's house this past weekend when this man appeared on the television with a magnificent scalp. Since i am new and still in a bit of a culture shock, perhaps some of you can help me describe this haircut for future endeavors. how is this haircut called??

ps: i'm referring to the dark haired man. cheers.

Looks like a typical buzzed Japanese middle aged man cut. Name is probably the Oster Clipper No3 Special

He was just making a joke. It's a 3 buzz using clippers.

Yes that is the universal name. Most barbers won't know it as the No. 3, it's usually called "the oyster." Try not to make eye contact at the barber shop, this tends to enrage them. Wash your hair before arriving, but only with Selsen Blue Head & Shoulders, it conditions the scalp perfectly for the hair cut. Gratuity should be 20-35%, depending on the strength of the yen and the minimal acceptable amount.

moco, just find a good picture of akiyama and say "I want my hair like this." A skilled stylist should be able to recreate it if it's at all possible.

For countless pics of akiyama, google "sherdog sexyama" you should find it.

this search will also return results for an overrated, over-hyped *** fighter who stole a fight from a guy w/ better hair.

forgive me, but a friend told me it was disrespectful to go in with a photograph and show to barbers. she said it makes them feel inferior and shows the customer does not have faith in the barber's abilities.
