Barber Trends: Top Men's Hairstyles for Spring/Summer 2019

 

We all know him. The client who comes in monthly, asking for "the usual." Yet, something in his eyes says "help me, I'm bored." 

The start of summer is the perfect time to suggest some head-turning new styles to your regular clients. We've sifted & sorted through the top men's hairstyle blogs, Insta's and celebrity sightings to bring you four of the must-have men's hairstyles.

The Boxey Business Crop

 

BEST FOR: 

Suggest this style for the business bloke who secretly can't stand his regular cookie-cutter chop. This trendy look mixes business and pleasure, by keeping things neat and tidy on the side while leaving a bit of length on the top to tousle. 

This look best suits hair with at least some texture. Consider suggesting one of the other styles if your client has very fine hair. 

CREATE

Once your client is keen, make sure you deliver the desired look by choosing the right tool for the job.

Our Clipper Choice: The Andis US Pro Clipper. 

Ask your client to specify the length they prefer along the sides and choose your attachment accordingly. To follow the trend to it's fullest, make sure to cut a blunt square shape throughout the top length. 

STYLE 

Send your client home with the right product to keep this look textured yet polished. We suggest a matte finish pomade to control flyaways and add a bit of control throughout the top.

Our product pick = L'Oreal Professionel Homme Mat Hair Pomade 

The Curly Undercut 

BEST FOR

The undercut has basically become a must for both men and women dealing with heaps of hair - especially in the sunny days of summer. If your client has a full head of curls or a solid set of waves, suggest this trendy textured undercut. 

CREATE

Chat with your client and clarify whether they're after a fade or more of a traditional undercut. You'll want to select a set of clippers that lets you cut close to the scalp, with available attachments to blend throughout the back. 

Our Clipper of Choice: Andis Pro Alloy XTR Clipper 

STYLE 

This look requires regular touchups to keep the undercut alive and well. However, at-home maintenance is minimal. Send your client home with a cream or spray that encourages their natural texture to flourish.

Our product pick: Redken Brews Dishevel Fiber Cream 

The Man Bob 

BEST FOR

Is your client bored of rocking a bun? The "man bob" is here to help. This look requires length and will look totally different depending on the gent's natural hair texture. Suggest this style if your client is cool with letting his hair down in the hot weather and craves a classy version of the classic surfer cut. 

CREATE

No clipping required here. Simply choose a professional quality set of stainless steel scissors to create the shape your client is after.

Our Scissor Pick: Wahl Premium Scissors 5.5" 

STYLE

This look is best left to dry naturally to prevent flattening or fluffing up your client's textured tresses. Suggest a salt spray to get that surfer texture fresh out of the shower. 

Our Product Pick: - Instant Rockstar Salt Spray 

The Buzzcut 

BEST FOR

The buzzcut can become a man's best friend during the sweaty months of summer. Not only will this look physically keep your client cool, but it's also trendy enough to turn heads. That being said, the buzzcut is a bold look and best suits someone who's used to having shorter hair or is genuinely ready to take on a transformation. 

CREATE

To create a killer buzz, make sure you've got a set of clippers that delivers a smooth close cut. 

Our clipper pick: Andis US Pro Li Cordless Fade Clipper 

STYLE

In between visits, your client will benefit from regularly applying a bit of hair putty to smooth out the strands as they grow in and keep texture at bay. 

Our product pick: Instant Rockstar Matte Rock Hair Putty
