Spiked texture and a maze-like beard edge

Short, upright strands give the top a spiky texture, while a pale pair of pointed lines cuts across the closely shaved temple. Farther down, a geometric pattern runs through the beard area in repeated turns, creating a maze-like border between the cheek and the darker facial hair. The design is made especially legible by the strong contrast between skin, shaved areas, and dense hair. The client is shown with eyes closed in a barbershop chair, and the side view presents the haircut almost like a diagram of textures and edges. A dark cape frames the lower part of the portrait; shelves and equipment recede into the background. The combination of upright strands and angular markings gives the overall look a clear structure, with each detail occupying a distinct zone.
