As i have absolutely no knowledge about hairstyles lol what do i ask of the barber for this kind of cut?

is it layered? thinned with shears?

im looking for a simple, short and neat cut/style
nothing flashy but easy and cool at the same time

open to other suggestions XD

He has short hairstyle and it's looking good. Take the picture of him with you to get exact hairstyle. I think it's a thin short hairstyle.

Hello Adrian23!!! Welcome to the Hairstyles Watch Forum!

I hope you have thick, strong hair as this is what Xabi Alonso definitely has. His natural hair allows him to have it cut any way and here he actually looks like he has a traditional men's haircut. It is thick and at least some coarse texture. Note how it spikes up when short. The moderate amount of spiking on top is a modern look for guys right now so he can stand it up some on top or lay it down and over with product if needed.

I'm not sure what texture or density you have, however, men's hair care products have come a LONG way so anything is possible.

bolesregan has been reading my posts and knows my response to the communicating with stylist. So yes, DO take Xabi Alonso's pic with you. (I would just copy and paste all these pics to fit on ONE page of your word program and print the one sheet with the different shots) ...take to the stylist and talk to him/her about what you want to do just like this.

A pic is truly worth a thousand words and leaves no margin for error where communicating about a hairstyle is concerned. Especially if you are both looking at the same shots from front, sides and the back (if available).

GOOD luck!
