Men's Haircut

The top knot is popular among young people, but is now also being chosen by established men. The top knot is a variation of the men's bun hairstyle, which has been around since ancient times — a simple knot made from long hair, often seen with shaved sides in depictions of Japanese samurai. The essence is simple: the hair is gathered into a bun positioned just above the nape or crown. It can be styled in many ways, from small tassels on the crown to a voluminous bun made from a long ponytail.

The top strands should be at least 15-20 cm long; for a more dramatic effect, let the hair grow longer so the ponytail can be tied loosely for volume. This haircut is perfect for round and oval face shapes, and paired with a well-groomed beard it can suit almost any man. The exception is thin, elongated faces, as the top knot emphasizes the cheekbones and forehead; for curly or voluminous hair, straightening first is recommended.

Grunge with a modern, edgy look — a bolder, more elegant take on the old-school classic, the quiff focuses primarily on the fringe just above the forehead. Another British subculture haircut, it's a hybrid of two of the most popular styles of the 1950s and 60s: the pompadour and the flattop, born in the heyday of the rocker movement. The classic quiff features short back and sides with the hair longer on top, styled upward from the forehead. It has stayed popular for decades because, unlike the pompadour, it's low-maintenance and more relaxed.

There are many variations to suit any man — one is the rockabilly, shorter than the pompadour with a side parting and the signature ducktail. Thanks to its volume the quiff suits round faces, visually elongating them, and works on straight or curly, soft or coarse hair. For any quiff, pomade is an indispensable styling aid.

Combining a unique look with ease of maintenance — simplicity and convenience the crop haircut matches a hectic lifestyle and modern style. Its distinctive feature is the choppy texture of the strands: the hair is cut short at the back and sides while the top is left slightly longer. It became popular thanks to quick, easy styling — the strands can be combed forward or swept to the side in minutes.

The crop is a versatile cut that suits men of all ages but looks especially good on slender young men with symmetrical, chiseled features. Just as a white T-shirt and black leather jacket are classic men's staples, the crop is one of the most timeless, adaptable haircuts. Unlike the undercut or pompadour, the French crop adapts to any face shape and pairs beautifully with virtually any clothing style — no wonder so many celebrities favor it.

It emphasizes your status and boosts your self-confidence — a timeless English classic. The executive haircut adds style and distinction. Its main feature is a pronounced side parting, emphasized with a lightly shaved line using clippers with a fine guard.

The temples are cut short, and the top and bangs are given volume with wax, gel or pomade to make the parting outline more obvious. The executive cut suits almost everyone, regardless of hair length or thickness. For those who prefer classic styles, wear their hair to one side, or admire retro looks, the executive cut is perfect.

The choice of Hollywood stars and athletes — not only striking, but also practical: depending on the styling, it can look casual, formal or sporty. The undercut came into vogue in the 1920s and has stood the test of time. It features a contrasting cut: the sides and back are shaved short, one to two centimeters long, with longer strands hanging from the crown.

Long bangs are styled back or to the side with product for volume. A favorite among many men, it allows easy styling and keeps you from being stuck in a single look. The undercut perfectly accentuates an oval face and the masculinity of a square face, and is a good option for a round face as it visually elongates the profile.

It suits both men in business suits and athletes — a versatile technique for an active lifestyle that also adds variety to the classic office look. The fade's key feature is a smoky transition from the scalp to any hair length. Short cuts with slightly longer hair on top are typical military styles, extremely popular in the 1940s and 50s in the United States.

Modern fades, with their precise cuts, smooth transitions and clean edging, exude elegance and grace, and come in many variations depending on your preferences, face shape and hair texture. Longer versions are ideal for thick hair, creating a fashionable look; for thin hair, a short fade is a good choice — easy to maintain and it hides the lack of thickness.

The pompadour was popularized by Elvis Presley in the late 1950s and named after the Marquise de Pompadour, mistress of French King Louis XV — a hairstyle that became, and remains, a symbol of luxury and status. It was popular in the 1950s in the US and internationally among hipsters, and to this day is associated with the King of Rock 'n' Roll. The style requires hair at least 10 cm long on top, while the back and sides are trimmed but not too short, with a smooth transition for a harmonious look.

Its distinctive feature is the voluminous, freely shaped strands; the hair at the back should be carefully combed to appear smooth and full. These effects are achieved with specialized products, and while styling may seem complicated, a true barber will deliver a result that meets all your expectations. The pompadour is a universal solution for any age, from teenagers to older men.

It gained popularity in the 1950s among the military. The flat top is a short men's haircut where the hair on top of the head is cut horizontally, creating a flat surface — hence the name. It first became popular in the 1950s military, faded with the rise of long hair, then returned in the 80s and 90s thanks to action films starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.

The flattop is a variation of the crew cut; the main difference is the crown, straightened upward so that — through styling and cut length — it achieves a visually square appearance. It can carry a slight angle, but the main feature is the linear-cut look, created with a special flattop comb and clippers, or by hand with scissors for the most experienced. This technique suits any build except a round face with a short neck, giving a calm, neat look.

The ideal hairstyle for men with an indomitable, wild character — masculine and self-confident. The Mohawk (also known as the Mohican) takes its name from the Native American tribe, and embodies courage and a rebellious spirit thanks to the 1970s, when punk became a mainstream fashion trend. Today it's no longer a curiosity — some variations are popular among athletes and actors.

It comes in several forms: short, long, with shaved or extremely short sides. Created with clippers by shaving the sides and leaving a strip of long hair down the middle, a classic Mohawk runs from forehead to nape, two to four fingers wide. A long Mohawk can be styled many ways and implies a specific, non-office wardrobe — it pairs best with military or sporty looks, and should be re-styled every two to three weeks to stay sharp.
