Required registry views

One cut. Four viewpoints.

A single portrait can hide the taper, fade height, crown, weight line, or neckline. Every published Hairqut record must show the construction from the front, three-quarter, side, and rear. The recorded fashion white backdrop keeps the silhouette readable while preserving fine strand detail.

Pins locate the reference evidence; the numbered notes make the request legible in the chair. This is an original Hairqut communication diagram, not a universal service prescription.

Provenance: Locked publication views mirror the formal package byte-for-byte. Semantic HTML and SVG overlays preserve approved pixels and accessible text; no replacement raster was generated. Conversation-level source: conv:6a5ee310-5578-83ea-8bd4-9be74352681c.

Reference result

The approved views show a swept-back short-to-medium top with a subtle side opening, controlled side contour, converging rear direction, and a natural tapered nape.

Starting-state gate

A professional must assess current length, texture, density, growth, scalp, condition, porosity, history, routine, and goals. The visible reference does not prove identical suitability.

Personal adaptation

front lift, swept-back direction, side fullness, crown control, and nape softness matter more than copying the image. No universal age, gender, face-shape, culture, or texture rule is supported.

Full specification · evidence graded

What is known, what must be assessed.

Every field is marked by its evidence boundary. “Unknown” is intentional: the registry never invents hidden technique, anatomy, timing, or price.

Construction

Technical specification

Canonical taxonomy: Haircut in the Classic cut family; visible colour and the fictional subject are not taxonomic requirements.; Recorded
Swept-back front direction: Visible front strands travel up and back from the hairline; natural growth, setting method, and required length are unknown; Visible
Subtle side opening: A soft off-centre opening organizes the front without a carved part; natural persistence and section origin require assessment; Visible
Back-directed top surface: The top travels rearward with low controlled lift; exact length, elevation, and product are unrecorded; Visible
Shorter lower-side contour: The lower side is visibly shorter beneath the top and follows the head; clipper versus shear method and blend sequence are unknown; Visible
Converging crown-to-nape flow: Rear strands move down and inward from the crown; hidden crown growth and sectioning are not proven; Visible
Natural tapered nape: The nape narrows gradually into a soft natural edge; exact guard, weight line, and neckline method are unspecified; Visible
Hidden construction: Sectioning, elevation, overdirection, graduation, connection, cutting angle, tension, guard numbers, tool path, blend sequence, and weight removal cannot be prescribed from the images.; Unknown
Measurement boundary: Portrait scale, posture, crop, texture compression, and generated-media limits do not support transferable centimetre, millimetre, guard, or angle measurements.; Unknown
Technique and finish boundary: Clipper, shear, razor, comb, brush, dryer, heat, product, enhancement, and finishing sequence must follow assessment and consent rather than assumed pixels.; Assess
Variation boundary: front lift, swept-back direction, side fullness, crown control, and nape softness may be personalized while preserving the visible identity agreed from the four views.; Assess

Adaptation

Hair and suitability

Visible reference finish: The approved views show a swept-back short-to-medium top with a subtle side opening, controlled side contour, converging rear direction, and a natural tapered nape; natural texture, density, pigment, and unstyled response are not verified.; Visible
Texture and wet-to-dry change: Assess natural pattern, shrinkage or expansion, frizz, reset behavior, heat history, and wet-to-dry change before setting shape or closeness.; Assess
Density and strand support: Assess density by zone, strand diameter, scalp visibility, bulk, perimeter support, thinning, and response to weight removal.; Assess
Growth and hairline behavior: Assess natural hairline, recession or fragility, cowlicks, crown whorl, growth direction, and daily fall before promising direction or symmetry.; Assess
Achievable starting state: enough top length to move backward and enough side and rear coverage for a gradual transition; recession, cowlicks, thinning, or shorter starts may require adaptation; Assess
Condition and porosity: Assess dryness, absorption, elasticity, tangling, breakage, chemical and heat history, buildup, and product response before service.; Assess
Scalp and sensitivity: Assess irritation, lesions, flaking, tenderness, scarring, ingredient sensitivity, and tool, heat, or tension tolerance; postpone or refer when appropriate.; Assess
Face shape, age, culture, and personal adaptation: No universal suitability rule is supported. Personalize front lift, swept-back direction, side fullness, crown control, and nape softness without stereotyping identity or promising an identical result.; Assess
Routine and environment: Confirm wash, drying and styling habits, climate, activity, headwear, sleep reset, product feel, visit tolerance, time, and budget.; Assess
Continuous-view limitation: The four AI-derived views are consistent illustrations but do not prove one continuous physical subject, identical anatomy, symmetry, strand placement, or hidden construction.; Unknown

Service handoff

Booking service: mens_haircut_style
Appointment duration: Not specified in canonical evidence; confirm after current length, texture, density, condition, scalp, history, finishing, comfort, and any separately scoped work are assessed.
Price: Not stored in this style record; the current booking service controls price, and any treatment, colour, enhancement, extensive detangling, correction, or elaborate finish requires separate confirmation.

Professional requirements

Skills

Translating visible multi-angle evidence into a personalized plan without inventing hidden technique
Assessing texture, density, growth, hairline, crown, scalp, integrity, porosity, history, routine, and achievable starting state
Selecting conservative measurements, sectioning, tools, transitions, perimeter, and finish from assessment
Separating optional additions from the core service while protecting scalp and hair integrity

Tools and product categories

Professional cutting, clipper, combing, sectioning, and detail tools selected from the assessed plan rather than fixed image-derived measurements
Clean and appropriate guards, combs, brushes, clips, sanitation, lighting, and mirrors for the agreed service
Cleansing, conditioning, control, heat-protection, scalp-protection, and finish categories chosen for actual condition and tolerance
No fixed brand, guard, blade, product, enhancement, heat, or chemical formula is established by this record

Safety and starting state

Confirm before service

enough top length to move backward and enough side and rear coverage for a gradual transition; recession, cowlicks, thinning, or shorter starts may require adaptation
Existing colour, chemical service, heat damage, breakage, scalp condition, undercut, disconnection, hard line, or prior fade must be assessed before promising the reference
A shorter, softer, longer, or staged adaptation is valid when it better protects integrity, comfort, coverage, routine, and consent

Do not promise unchanged

Active scalp lesions, infection concerns, severe irritation, unexplained shedding, marked tenderness, or tool intolerance require postponement or appropriate referral
Do not force closeness, symmetry, a new hairline, heat, tension, chemical work, or hidden geometry that current growth, integrity, density, or consent cannot support
Pause when the requested outcome conflicts with informed consent, realistic maintenance, current condition, or safe professional practice

Evidence and governance

Source package: os/hairqut-styles/registry/entries/HQ-STYLE-000013-classic-swept-back

Asset relationship: The formal source assets mirror the approved publication images byte-for-byte; all eight source and publication hashes are verified on generation.

Generated media: All four approved views depict a fictional AI-generated person; gpt-image-2 was requested in ChatGPT, while the exact responding model was not independently captured.

Privacy: No real customer photo, identity, health record, cultural identity, or biometric record is used in this Blueprint.

Booking handoff: The Blueprint links to the existing mens_haircut_style service; duration, price, availability, consent, and any add-on come from the current booking and consultation flow.

Freshness

Canonical record and formal four-view package re-reviewed 2026-09-20
Reassess if an approved asset, taxonomy, service mapping, visible construction claim, or booking contract changes
Duration, price, availability, technique, products, and achievable result remain consultation-time facts

Consultation

Confirm front lift, swept-back direction, side fullness, crown control, and nape softness

Use all four approved views to agree on visible direction, coverage, transition, perimeter, and finish before selecting technique.
Assess natural growth, crown and hairline behavior, wet-to-dry change, density by zone, strand support, scalp, condition, porosity, history, and routine.
Confirm whether the current state can support the result now: enough top length to move backward and enough side and rear coverage for a gradual transition; recession, cowlicks, thinning, or shorter starts may require adaptation.
Separate the core mens_haircut_style service from optional treatment, colour, enhancement, extensive detangling, or elaborate finishing; confirm scope, time, price, and consent independently.

Care plan

Keep the intent, not a fixed schedule.

1
When the visible shape stops sitting as agreed
Reassess direction and balance
Growth, natural fall, density, routine, climate, comfort, and budget determine actual timing.
2
When perimeter or transition loses definition
Review edges and transition
Protect the natural hairline and scalp; do not assume one fixed visit interval or removal amount.
3
On styling days
Use the least intervention needed
Choose product, brushing, heat, or no-heat finishing for actual texture, condition, scalp, tolerance, and desired finish.
4
When scalp, integrity, or comfort changes
Pause and reassess
Do not increase closeness, tension, heat, or chemical exposure over irritation, lesions, tenderness, breakage, or distress.

Home kit

Product categories, not product pressure.

Cleanse

Condition

Light conditioning category

Select for actual strand support, porosity, dryness, tangling, damage, and product tolerance.

Shape

Optional lightweight control category

Use only if needed for the agreed visible direction or separation; no single product type is prescribed.

Protect

Scalp and heat-protection plan

Protect exposed scalp from sun and use heat protection whenever heat is chosen, following current condition and directions.

Reset

Comb, brush, pick, or hands selected by assessment

Use gently and stop with snagging, discomfort, irritation, or excess breakage.

Why this record passed with warnings

Generated via ChatGPT's conversational GPT Image 2 surface rather than the direct API; per-request model confirmation and request IDs are not available, only conversation and file identifiers.
AI-derived viewpoints are internally consistent illustrations, not proof that one physical subject was photographed continuously from four angles.

Registry provenance

100% AI-generated from scratch.

The four images are an intentionally matched fictional reference set made specifically for this Hairqut record. Fictional person; no real person or celebrity was used as a reference. The set passed deterministic asset checks and a separate visual consistency assessment.

Generated media record: OpenAI built-in image generation via ChatGPT. gpt-image-2 requested; not independently confirmed by an API response.
