Landing page captured for the 2026-08-28 issue.

Field notes

The public chart organizes 165 named cuts into categories such as Fade, Taper, Waves, Locs, Beard, Women, and Kids. Each entry is described as carrying guard work, fade placement, suitable hair type, chair-side wording, and an estimate of how long the cut holds. The grading system claims to score line work, blend, symmetry, and neckline, with a visible hard line imposing a stated ceiling of 74.
