Men's Haircuts
From a tight buzz to a flowing man bun, every men's haircut worth knowing — with guides on who each style suits, what to ask your barber, and how to maintain it at home. Use the quick filters below or scroll through the full collection.
Short & low-maintenance
Clipper-friendly cuts that need little to no product and stay sharp between visits. If you want to spend under two minutes on your hair each morning, start here.
Buzz Cut
One clipper length all over — the lowest-maintenance haircut that exists.
Read guide →Crew Cut
Short on sides, slightly longer on top — the definitive clean-cut men's style.
Read guide →High and Tight
Military-derived cut with sides clipped to skin high up the head and a short strip of hair on top.
Read guide →French Crop
Short textured top with a horizontal fringe line and faded or tapered sides.
Read guide →Caesar Cut
Short, even top brushed forward to a straight, horizontal fringe, with tapered or faded sides.
Read guide →Flat Top
Level, geometric top with tightly faded sides — a bold architectural statement.
Read guide →Classic & professional
Time-tested shapes that work in the boardroom and at the weekend. These cuts rely on good scissor work and a clean taper or fade — they reward a skilled barber and hold their shape for weeks.
Side Part
A clean part line, combed weight, and tapered sides — works from job interviews to black tie.
Read guide →Comb Over
Modern take on a classic — longer top swept to one side over tapered or faded sides.
Read guide →Ivy League
A grown-out crew cut long enough to part and comb — collegiate and effortlessly smart.
Read guide →Slick Back
All hair swept straight back with pomade — sleek, sharp, and timeless.
Read guide →Middle Part
Centre-parted curtain of hair that frames the face with an effortlessly retro feel.
Read guide →Volume & styled
Cuts built around height, shape, and the right product. These take five to ten minutes of daily styling but reward the effort with some of the most striking silhouettes in men's hair.
Pompadour
Volume swept upward and back from the forehead — modern or vintage depending on the fade.
Read guide →Quiff
Front volume brushed up and forward — softer than a pompadour, easier to wear daily.
Read guide →Fringe
Hair brought forward over the forehead — blunt, textured, or wispy depending on your goal.
Read guide →Mohawk
Shaved sides with a central strip of hair — worn spiked up or braided depending on length.
Read guide →Faux Hawk
Mohawk attitude with short faded sides instead of a full shave — versatile and office-appropriate.
Read guide →Textured & trendy
Contemporary cuts that lean into natural texture, movement, and contrast. Many of these have been shaped by social media and are heavily requested right now — understand what makes each one work before you sit in the chair.
Edgar Cut
Blunt horizontal fringe, sharp line-up and a high fade or taper on the sides.
Read guide →Textured Crop
Short choppy top with defined, piecey texture — a low-effort cut that looks intentionally styled.
Read guide →Mullet
Short on top and sides, longer at the back — now usually paired with a fade and textured top.
Read guide →Undercut
Disconnected long top over shaved or very short sides — maximum contrast, maximum style.
Read guide →Broccoli Cut
Tight faded sides with a rounded, voluminous curly top — a Gen Z barbershop favourite.
Read guide →Two-Block Cut
Korean-influenced style with long, curtained top and clipped back and sides.
Read guide →Long & tied-up
For men growing past ear-length, these styles give structure and intentionality to longer hair. They require patience to reach the right length but very little cutting once you're there.
Detail & technique
These cuts are defined by precision work at the hairline, specialist knowledge of curl patterns, or both. A barber experienced in the specific technique makes all the difference — read the guide before you book.
Line-Up
Sharp, geometric hairline edging that redefines the forehead, temples, and sideburns.
Read guide →Afro Taper
Natural afro volume on top with a short, gradual taper at the sideburns and neckline.
Read guide →Low Taper Fade
A short fade kept to the sideburns and neckline — clean edges while the sides keep their weight.
Read guide →360 Waves
A trained wave pattern achieved through brushing, moisturising, and compression — not a cut alone.

Three decisions narrow the list quickly: how much length you want on top, how you want the sides finished, and how often you'll visit a barber. For the sides, the options are:
- Fade — a graduated blend from longer hair down to very short or skin. Sharp and modern, but it shows regrowth in 1–2 weeks.
- Taper — a shorter, more conservative graduation usually limited to the sideburns and neckline. Office-friendly and grows out gracefully.
- Undercut — the sides are one uniform short length with no blend, disconnected from a long top. Maximum contrast.

Know your guard numbers before you go: a #1 is 3mm (1/8"), a #2 is 6mm (1/4"), a #3 is 10mm (3/8") and a #4 is 13mm (1/2"). The clipper guard sizes chart covers every number, and how often to get a haircut explains upkeep by style.
