Pretty interesting reading on the side-parted look a few of us are now rocking and how to get it cut and products to use.

Man, I'm generally a fan of the old-school slick look, but some of these are way too übermensch-y. The last one in particular looks like a villain out of a WW2 movie.

The bottom left one is pretty great though.

 

[KanyeEast]

I am going for this look. Long beard in the middle and short on the sides with the same hair.

 

[Horse Detective]

Has anyone here used salt spray?

Yeah, I didn't like it.

Just got a great haircut at Baxter Finley. Thanks GAF for the recommendation.

I wanna go there once before I die or lose hair.

Out of curiosity, what do you use in your hair regularly?

Do you live in the L.A. area?

Oh, and the guy who cut my hair was a huge gamer, coincidentally. We talked about Bioshock Infinite And Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward the entire time.

 

[Chance Hale]

I need to do more with my hair, have such thick curly hair that I imagine makes the possibilities pretty wide. Forget his name but a user here had said he was going to make a guide for people with curly hair. Did that ever happen?

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Out of curiosity, what do you use in your hair regularly?

Pretty much nothing. If I do use something it's one of the B&B sprays followed by some mousse. Pomade is too heavy, wax is sticky and heavy, clay is a bit much so I can't use any of those. I like volume and a free feel.

Yes, yes I do.

Your hair must have a naturally nice texture.

If I go without anything, it lies completely flat, and looks so dry that you could probably spot each individual hair. It looks like a wig

It looks like a wig cause you're bald(ing).

If I put stuff in it makes my hair flatter and weighs it down.

I went into town to get my hair cut and I fucking hate it http://i.imgur.com/LDGQm5Z.jpg

My sister was cutting it and I said to only trim it but she got carried away. I think she prefers me with shorter hair. Bye long hair ..

Not going to lie - looks kinda emo man. I'd definitely cut or style it differently next time (imo).

Ahuh, almost tempted to shave it all off.

 

[Rookje]

Diggin' Chris Pine's hair + beard

 

[bjb]

He looks good. I'm not feeling the coloring though. Seems like he dyed his beard too.

 

[trineo_feo]

That hair is so fake....

 

[Rookje]

That hair is so fake....

You think its plugs? That's some nice plugs if true.

He looks good. I'm not feeling the coloring though. Seems like he dyed his beard too.

Think so? There's grey in there though...

The girl I've been going to left the salon. I don't know what to do now ;__;

 

[luckyboyceo]

What the fuck, how old is Chris Pine? He's getting grey hair already?

Got any before pics for comparison? Is it cut in the style you wanted at least?

The guys at ACME on the hill are good. That's where I go. Granted, it's a barbershop and not a salon. Rudy's is popular as well.

I've thought about trying Rudy's. Just sucks having to once again go through the routine of finding someone to do it the right way, and the first couple of cuts are always bad.

 

[Tenks]

I've always had hair cuts that required gel (when younger) and fiber. I've since just buzzed my head and it is the greatest joy in my life to not have to fuss with that shit any longer.

Probably doesn't help my hair is completely frizzy and curley if it gets over like 1 inch.

 

[Cosmic Bus]

This Rudy's place doesn't have appointments open until May, and according to yelp I'm going to be waiting at least an hour even if I'm in the book for a cut. What the hell?

World famous Rudy's.

You okay, bro?

Are you okay?

 

[Horse Detective]

Are you both okay bros?

Wait, what? That doesn't seem right at all. My brother used to go there and he'd call like a few days in advance and get in no problem.

 

[bjb]

It's all good bro's.

More creams - less pomade.

 

[Horse Detective]

It's all good bro's.

.

Good to hear bro.

Midnights bro, you okay bro?

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

I'm good, just don't like bjb and his posts. Just saying what I feel.

 

[luckyboyceo]

Midnights be nice to bjb. The animal kingdom needs to stick together.

 

[Horse Detective]

Hear my horse wisdom.

We all need to stick together to make it through.

 

[biosnake20]

Got a cut by Alfonso today


Should've taken a pic of my hair before...it was such a mess, long and mullet-ey

How do you get it like that?

 

[Rookje]

Who is Alfanso?

 

[killertofu]

How do you get it like that?

Up and over with clay. Blowdry as well. I haven't gotten it as good as when he did it but still trying.

 

[victreeb3l]

hey guys, i want to get a cut something like this:

but maybe like 75% as long in the top. what do i tell them? do i go to a salon or to a barber? do i need to bring additional photos for the sides and back? i havent gotten a good haircut in like 2 years and everywhere ive gone the last year or so had those look books from the freakin early 90s.

also, recommendations for a salon/barber in NYC would be great. preferably around $50-60 but if its really that amazing i dont mind paying more.

Just give them that picture.

See Yelp for some suggestions: http://www.yelp.com/search?find_desc=Best+Men'S+Haircut&find_loc=New+York,+NY

Look around to see if they have a website with examples of mens haircuts, or instagram. Make sure they use hand over comb and not a shaver to trim your hair. You know they're pro if they cut with sizzors all over, and never use a shaver.

so for a cut like that a barbershop would be better than a salon? i havent gone to a barbershop since i was in junior high and my experience with them was that they would just use a shaver for everything.

thanks for the tips, ill go through yelp as well!

 

[cacophony]

go to a salon tbh. the chances of getting a good cut are much higher unless you know of a really nice barber

 

[bjb]

It really boils down to actual talent. My advice; if you have a friend/classmate/ coworker who has a really nice cut, don't be afraid to ask them where they go. Networking has been pretty helpful for me in the past. I found this boss barber who primarily worked in a kid's salon in the mall (lol) after his uncle's shop closed.

Guy was amazing and I would have never known otherwise.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

I don't like barbershops anymore. They rush the cut and like to use clippers too much.

 

[Rookje]

So I have an undercut atm, but I'm kinda bored with it. I like having longer hair but I'd like to do something other than an undercut. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm thinking of doing some kind of layering in the front, while keeping the sides short. Then if I want the undercut again during the winter I could revert pretty easily.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Get a skin fade.

 

[Horse Detective]

Heh. My barber takes like 45 minutes to an hour.

I don't mind clippers. I don't really see the appeal of scissors.

I kind of love that trio of avatars above me.
