As I posted previously, this is a bad haircut

Its rounded on the top, too short at the top edges (hence rounding), not even.

This looks ok, but is a little too long. Maybe in the winter months its good.

This is about perfect. A little uneven, but short near my ears, longer at the top, not rounded. The fade needs improvement (gets long a little to abruptly).

I can’t believe I’ve been getting my haircut the same way for 25+ years and only in late 2014 did the person cutting my hair tell me that I want a “low fade” so that it starts fading from short to long low on the side of my head, not near the top.
