How to pick the right haircut

If you’re choosing your haircut off a celebrity photo or TikTok trend, you could be setting yourself up for failure.

Here’s the reality most people skip, and what we recommend you consider when choosing the right haircut:

  • Head shape & face shape - both affect how a haircut sits

  • Density matters - thick hair can carry weight, fine hair needs structure

  • Hairline & temples - pushing a style that fights your natural shape never ends well.

  • Maintenance level - skin fades should really be every 7-10 days to stay clean

  • Product & styling - some looks only work because they’re styled properly every day. Do you have time for this?

Our job isn’t just to ‘copy a haircut’. It’s to adapt it to you so it actually works in real life. The best cuts are built and tailored for what works for you, not copied.

If your haircut only looks good when you leave the shop … it’s the wrong one. Get something that works on your worst day, not just your best.

Luckily, our team of experienced barbers are here to advise you.
