The man had a mean barnet, clearly. Now, every time I go for a trim, I shy away from being too clear as to what I want, because every time I give a barber clear instructions he interprets that as "here's carte blanche to mess up my head and be able to say I asked for it".
So I always end up saying something like, "bit shorter, eliminate the mullet, make it look good" and leave the specifics up to them.
Does anyone actually give their barber specific instructions? Know their arcane lingo? If so, tell me how I ask for a Beethoven, in hairdresser terms. It'll go great with my beard, I accidentally visualised it as I was waking up this morning.
when i had hair i used to draw pictures for the stylists to follow. usually worked pretty well. i reckon you should print out some beethoven pics and take them with you, but they might break the grey hair dye out if they're especially dim.

Just take a photo of Ludwig Van with Patrick Swayze written underneath the photo. Chances are that the hairdresser will have heard of Patrick Swayze (Actor) but won't know what he looks like.
If your fear is being laughed at for asking for a hair do of 300 years ago that is.
I want Ludwig Van Beethoven's hairstyle
