Every time you hit the barbershop, you’re bound to hear that classic question, “How do you want it cut?” If you’re just getting your regular style, a simple “Same as last time” will do. But when you’re after something new, the decision suddenly feels huge. :))
You can ask your barber for ideas, but where’s the thrill in that? Deciding on your own before you even step inside is where the fun begins. I’m here to help you navigate that choice!
Finding Your Inspiration
If you’ve had the same haircut for years and are ready for a change, inspiration is key. But where do you find it? Think magazines, style guides, celebrity shots, sports stars, music icons, and even movie characters - any of these can spark ideas for your next look.

Even if it’s not a perfect match, it’s a starting point, letting you and the barber make adjustments to create a look that’s yours.
Questions to Consider
Maintenance: How often are you willing to hit the barbershop to keep it fresh?
Styling Time: How long can you realistically spend on your hair each morning?
Products and Cost: Are you down to invest in products to achieve the look you want?
Tools: Got the right gear at home, like a blow dryer or flat iron, if needed?
Personal Style: Does this cut work with your usual wardrobe, or will it demand a style revamp?
Work Suitability: Will your job vibe with the cut? Going super short on the sides might not fly in all office settings…
Some styles require your hair to reach a certain length before they look their best. But that doesn’t mean you should skip your monthly cut while waiting. Even if you’re in between styles, a little clean-up keeps your hair in shape and easier to style. Take it from someone with tricky hair: monthly trims are essential to keep it looking sharp.
Style Options by Hair Area
Sides: Trimmed close or left with some length? Tidy near the ears or long enough to tuck behind?
Back: Same length as the sides or left longer? Shaved close to the neck or long enough to reach the nape?
Top: Do you want it long for a natural, messy look, or kept short with clean lines?
Bangs: Long, short, slicked back, or maybe just versatile enough to style different ways?
Getting your next haircut is all about making it yours - so don’t shy away from experimenting.
