They seem to be similar hairstyles but for different sexes: Bob : a woman's hairstyle in which the hair is cut short to an even length at the level of the chin or neck. The Beatle haircut, also known as the mop-top (or moptop) —because of its resemblance to a mop—or Arthur amongst fans, is a mid-length hairstyle named after and popularised by the Beatles. It is a straight cut - collar-length at the back and over the ears at the sides, with a straight fringe (bangs).

Thank you for your detailed explanation. I didn't know they are separated and used by sexes.
I wish I could ask a clerk such as "Would you cut my hair to The Beatle haircut/mop-top, please?"
By the way, could you please tell me who Arthur is? Thank you.

I would like to ask a barber such as "Would you cut my hair to The Beatle haircut/mop-top, please?"-- You can say that if the barber is over 40 years old.
By the way, could you please tell me who Arthur is? -- John Lennon (or maybe it was Ringo Starr) was asked by a reporter, 'What do you call your haircut?' and John/Ringo answered jocularly 'Arthur', as if the haircut h

Thank you. I would try to say that. 
I think "to" should be added behind "like", but is it wrong?

Therefore I don't think I can ask that, but it is good if I can do. Was the sentence "I wish I could..." unnatural there?-- Your sentence is grammatically OK, but there is still a chance of your asking a barber somewhere: this is a small world. 'I wish I could' sounds a bit sad and hopeless to me...about a topic that is rather trivial.

I see. I will take it easy. Thank you so much for your answer, Mister Micawber.
