While ordering a crew cut is easy, since it's on the menu, what about other kinds?

Can you just go "I'd like a men/women's haircut" and leave it at that, or do you need something more specific, like saying you want a Charlestone done by a No. 3 to the sides, and a 4 up top?

You need to be more specific. The last thing barbers need is having to guess what you want.

I get a 4 on the sides, a low taper to 0 on the back, and then say how much I want off top in inches. Letting them know how I comb/style my hair seems helpful as well.

You can also just google a hairstyle and show them a picture.
