<\/p>\nMen\u2019s haircuts have changed a lot over the decades. At least we think so. There was that period when men were running around with powdered wigs on their heads. We\u2019re not really sure what kind of styles they were sporting under those things.<\/p>\n
Regardless, today\u2019s men get to wear all kinds of hairstyles. Not all haircuts are right for every occasion, though. You\u2019ll probably get the stink eye if you show up to your grandmother\u2019s birthday party wearing liberty spikes. Unless you have a really cool granny, that is.<\/p>\n
When choosing a haircut, you should consider what options match this specific point in your life. That way, you can get a haircut that helps you reach your goals.<\/p>\n
Check out these seven haircuts to find an option for every place life takes you.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The classic pompadour has been around for at least a century. It started in France, but it became popular among men around the world when celebrities like Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash started wearing it. If you want a more contemporary influence, look no farther than\u00a0Brad Pitt and David Beckham<\/a>.<\/p>\n The classic pompadour is a\u00a0timelessly stylish haircut<\/a>\u00a0with buzzed sides, crisp edges, and plenty of hair left on top of the head.<\/p>\n You have some options for styling the hair on top of your head. With enough\u00a0HC01 Pomada<\/a>, you can get a sturdy, gravity-defying haircut reminiscent of John Travolta\u2019s character in\u00a0Grease.<\/i><\/p>\n With less pomade, you can get the floppy pompadour preferred by most modern men. It looks a little messier, but it\u2019s still appropriate for school and work. Plus, the pompadour gives you the opportunity to adopt similar hairstyles by changing the way you comb and style the mop on your head.<\/p>\n The undercut takes a lot of inspiration from the classic pompadour. To achieve this haircut, though, you will need to keep the sides buzzed very close to your head. Maintain the look by\u00a0scheduling regular cleanups<\/a>\u00a0from a master barber at BSG.<\/p>\n The undercut also keeps short hair on top of the head. You do, however, get to leave the front of your hair pretty long. This lets you sweep the front of your hair back over your head. Think of it as a stylish combover for men who aren\u2019t trying to hide bald spots. If you have thinning hair, this probably isn\u2019t the right option for you.<\/p>\n When you think of the crew cut, imagine a young soldier who has just gotten out of service. The buzz that he got a few weeks ago has started to grow out. Most of the hair, however, has regrown on the top and top-sides of his head.<\/p>\n The crew cut is about as classic as it gets. If you\u00a0want to look sexy<\/a>\u00a0without turning off women who have traditional tastes, then the crew cut is the right choice for you.<\/p>\n The crew cut has traditional roots, but you can always give the haircut a modern twist. Check out the work of\u00a0Mark Bustos<\/a>\u00a0to see examples of updated crew cuts. Bustos travels the world giving haircuts to men living in low-income areas. When he\u2019s working out of his New York shop, though, he uses more flourishes. For instance, you can get a design cut into the short part of your crew cut, or you can get a sharp line drawn into one side of your head.<\/p>\n The classic quiff men\u2019s haircut shares some similarities with the classic pompadour. The classic quiff, however, isn\u2019t quite as foppish and doesn\u2019t require as much styling.<\/p>\n When you ask for a classic quiff men\u2019s haircut, expect your BSG barber to cut the sides short and leave a few inches on top. Pop some pomade and\u00a0HC01 Textura Linimento<\/a>\u00a0in that bad boy to add plenty of body to your hair.<\/p>\n The classic quiff is a great choice for men who recently noticed thinning hair. Yes, it\u2019s a sad time in your life. That doesn\u2019t mean that you should immediately give up and shave your head. With the classic quiff, you can obscure the signs of a receding hairline. Piling a few inches of hair on top of your head will also hide minor thinning.<\/p>\n Keep in mind that you can\u2019t wear this men\u2019s haircut forever. Once your hair things to a certain point, you\u2019ll start to look ridiculous. You can trust the master barbers at BSG to give you a head\u2019s up (pun totally intended) when you reach that point.<\/p>\n If you already have a classic quiff, then it just takes a few adjustments to give you a side part haircut. The side part men\u2019s haircut is basically a classic quiff with a sharp line cut along one side.<\/p>\n Think of the Don Draper character from the series \u201cMad Men.\u201d No, not the part where he\u2019s too drunk to put together his kid\u2019s birthday present. The part where he\u2019s trying to look presentable to clients. That\u2019s what a proper side part haircut looks like.<\/p>\n Like most men\u2019s haircuts, you can alter the side part to fit your style preference. We see a lot of young professionals who prefer to keep their side parts clean. Then again, we\u2019ve seen plenty of artists and performers who like their side parts with more attitude.<\/p>\n Check out\u00a0Matty Conrad on Instagram<\/a>\u00a0to see some of the unique things that you can do with a side part haircut and other popular styles. That Canadian master knows how to personalize a style to fit any man. He\u2019s also awesome at styling mustaches and beards that complement his haircuts.<\/p>\n BSG has master barbers that can personalize your style just as well as Matty Conrad. The difference is that you would have to go to Victoria, British Columbia to get a men\u2019s haircut from Matty. For a BSG Signature Haircut, you just have to visit West Hollywood.<\/p>\n The French crop men\u2019s haircut is an excellent option for men who want to look younger. The style gives you a close fade along the sides and bottom of your head, but it leaves a little more hair on top. The hair on top isn\u2019t as long as the pompadour or even the quiff. It\u2019s just enough to prevent the early signs of thinning hair.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re worried that you\u2019ve lost too much hair for a French crop men\u2019s haircut, then you should consider BSG\u2019s Scalp Camo protocol. Our Scalp Camo uses medical ink that matches your natural hair color. We add the color to your scalp to cover thin hair and bald spots.<\/p>\n Scalp Camo does require injected ink into your scalp, but it\u2019s not as painful as it sounds. We make the process as comfortable as possible by numbing your scalp. We also keep a can of nitrous oxide around in case needles make you anxious. Hey, there are reasons that we have real doctors working at BSG. Access to some calming nitrous is just one of the perks that you get when you come to us.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t get the impression that you can look good by grabbing a can of pomade and slicking back your hair. You need a specific haircut to really pull off the slicked back look.<\/p>\n Your BSG master barber can help you reach your slicked back style by tapering the hair on the sides of your head. The top can stay as long as you want. We recommend a few inches at most, but the length is up to you. Some guys manage to look awesome with long hair that they slick back. Most guys end up looking weird with more than two or three inches. You could be the exception to the rule, though.<\/p>\n A lot of the men who want the slicked back haircut like to wear hats. If you\u2019re into hats, then the slicked back men\u2019s haircut will make it easier for you to wear a wider range of styles. Obviously, we\u2019re not talking about baseball caps. We\u2019re\u00a0talking about classic styles<\/a>\u00a0like fedoras, homburgs, porkpies, and bowlers.<\/p>\n At BSG, we know that you get to decide what type of men\u2019s haircut emphasizes your personal style. We also know that a lot of men don\u2019t understand what it takes to get the styles that they want. That\u2019s why we provide guidance, not direction. We won\u2019t tell you what to do, but we will give you suggestions that we think will make you look your best.<\/p>\n If you wanted a basic haircut, then you\u2019d go to a corner barber sharp where an old guy gives everyone the same style. Since you\u2019re at our website, you must want more than the basic cut. You want a men\u2019s haircut from a master barber that has years of experience and keeps up with style trends.<\/p>\nThe Undercut Haircut<\/h2>\n
