Merlita starts with very long hair and bangs. Today she is ready to go short. We start with a ponytail at her nape. The barber snips off the ponytail with scissors. The no. 2 clippers buzz a path above each ear and up the nape. A shorter guard tapers the buzzed sections. Scissors take over on top. The top is cut quite short and blended to the buzzed sections below. A straight razor cleans around the hairline. Merlita looks cute in her new short cut.
