I go to a very traditional men's barbershop; the kind where if I was to walk in with a picture of another guy I'd honestly get ridiculed to no end. I want to achieve this type of hairsyle but want to know what to ask my barber for. Any help here?

Contemplated that already. Salons have nothin on the quality of haircuts this barbershop provides.

Looks like about a 2 on the sides. Nothing special on top. Just decide on the length.

I'd also say a 2-3 blade on the sides and about 2 inch length on top. This look is more about how you style your hair yourself.

What barbershop do you go to?

If you're paying for a service, you should get what you want.
They shouldn't care how you let them know what's desired if they value the business.
