clipper cut

Electric shave style

A clipper cut is a haircut done primarily with electric clippers rather than scissors, typically producing a short, uniform style.

The term often refers to simple, quick cuts—buzz cuts, fades, or tapered styles where the clipper does most of the work: He gets a basic clipper cut every few weeks.
