Men's Haircut FAQs
You should expect to pay between £10 and £35 for a man’s haircut in Duncairn.
If hair isn’t shampooed or washed at the salon, a men’s haircut should take between 15-30 minutes.
It depends on the type of haircut and how quickly your hair grows. If you opt for a shaved head, you may want to have it cut two or three times a week; very short hair styles need maintenance cuts every 1-2 weeks; cornrows or braided hair need attention every 6-8 weeks, and short to medium length hair needs cutting every 1-3 months.
Hair trends come and go, but some of the most popular men’s cuts of 2022 included the buzz cut (clipped all-over military-length cut), the shag (feathered at the top and sides), and the bro flow (medium length hair that’s left to take its natural shape, often brushed back off the face).
The five basic men’s haircuts are the: Buzz cut – military style cut that sees hair cropped to one length using clippers. Crew cut – also known as the short back and sides. French crop – similar to the crew cut, but often undercut, with a length left on the top. Short dreads - a shorter version of the popular long dreadlocks. Side-parted – best suited to those with medium-long hair.
