Hi,
I am already familiar with different term for hairstyles and colors. But, I really have no idea how to ask a barber for a certain haircut. I would like to know how a natural conversation flows between a barber and costumer. For instance,how can I ask my barber for a hair cut like in the picture (please see the link). What would you say to him? What other questions might he ask you while cutting your hair, about sideburns, etc..? Please don't write something like "show him a picture or so". I really want to learn and I believe this what this website is for. Thank you.
please check the link below.

They have piles and piles of fashion magazines that you can use to pick the style you like.
But there are only a few things that you can say when you get your hair cut:
I'd like my hair short on the side, tapering down to the face, and long in the back.
I want bangs (opposite- I want my hair brushed back away from my face.
I'd like it a bit shorter all around.
Just trim it a quarter inch or so.
I (don't) want my hair layered.
For men:
I want my hair very short. (a buzz cut. - That is what is in your picture.)
I want my hair to look tousled, a bit long and brushed back.
I like my sideburns short / long / shorter /longer
