Do you know? Yes, I know you know, how a hairstyle matters to a man. A perfect hairstyle boosts your confidence, you feel better when you get an ideal haircut from your barber. And that’s what I want you to feel every day regardless of your age. Listen, going to your barber just with the name of whatever haircut you want not gonna work properly. As an example, “I want an undercut”, “I want a side part” or whatever it is. It’s not the way how you can get a proper result.
First and foremost, bring visual references. Pictures or videos of the hairstyle you want can make a huge difference. When I wanted to switch up my look, I took a few screenshots of David Beckham’s hairstyles and sometimes from some random online images over the years. If you’ve read a few of my articles, then probably you know how I’m a fan of David Beckham. Showing my barber these images helped him understand exactly what I was aiming for.
Understand your hair type and face shape. Not every hairstyle suits everyone. Once, I was set on getting a slick back look, but my barber suggested a textured quiff instead, considering my wavy hair and square face shape. The result was fantastic and suited me much better than my initial choice.
Communicate clearly with your barber. Describe what you like and dislike about your current hairstyle. When I told my barber that I found my hair too flat and lifeless, he recommended layering to add volume and movement. The change was subtle but made a significant impact.
Be open to suggestions. Barbers have a wealth of experience and can offer valuable advice. I once wanted a very shortcut, but my barber suggested leaving a bit more length on top to balance my features. His suggestion ended up being a perfect fit for my style and personality.
Maintenance is key. Ask your barber about how to maintain your new haircut. They can provide tips on products and styling techniques. After getting a fade cut, my barber recommended a light pomade to keep the sides neat and the top styled. This advice helped me keep my haircut looking fresh longer.
Build a good relationship with your barber. Trust the process and your barber. Over time, I built a strong relationship with my barber, Jake. Regular visits and open communication allowed Jake to understand my preferences and style. I always gave him feedback, whether positive or negative, and he appreciated my honesty. This rapport led to consistently great results because Jake knew exactly what I wanted and how to make it happen.
By following these tips, you can ensure that every trip to the barber leaves you feeling confident and looking your best. Personally, finding the right barber and establishing a solid relationship has made all the difference in how I feel about my appearance. So, take these tips to heart, and may your next haircut be the best one yet.
