I asked Claude if he knew what a New Iberia haircut was.

A "New Iberia haircut" is regional Louisiana slang for what's more formally known as a Caesar cut — short, horizontally cropped bangs/fringe up front with the sides and back cut close or tapered/faded.
The name traces back to Iberia Parish, Louisiana (New Iberia specifically, near Lafayette). The style was popular locally in the early 2000s, and the nickname really took off after a guy working offshore made a goofy YouTube video and song called "New Iberia Haircut" showing off the look. It became a local running joke/cultural touchstone — the Lost Bayou Ramblers even recorded a song riffing on it — before someone eventually pointed out it was just a Caesar cut with a hyper-local nickname attached.
So functionally: ask for a Caesar cut, and if you're in Acadiana, you might also just say "New Iberia haircut" and get a knowing nod.

i think the modern New Iberia haircut is a Ceasar with a strong dose of Edgar, but i'm not an expert on such things.

The video on youtube doesn't show anything that resembles the Caesar haircut. It's more high and tight - ish. How did the New Iberia haircut become the Caesar, or was it always that way and the video isn't accurate?
ETA: I take it back. The ones in the video do kinda resemble the Caesar.

When you're going out in Lafayette you DO want to look your best.

The only correct answer is, "the best haircut in the world."

Is it really for every boy and girl though? I've never seen a girl with one.

My Dad interviewed for a job in New Iberia when I was a kid in the 80's. My mom prayed hard that he wouldn't get that job, and her prayer was answered. So in typical OT fashion, this could have been me:
