Decided to start growing my hair out. previously did the ‘im a dude, shave it’ haircut all the time.
Would one be best to change from the usual man’s barbershop to a salon, or a place that would focus more on women’s hair? I really don’t want anyone to screw around with it this time around or cut it short.
Many salons do men’s and women’s hair, most barbershops only do men’s. So I would think a salon (choose one that does both)
Tips from someone who went from short hair to long hair during COVID and has stuck with it. Barber shop vs salon doesn’t necessarily matter. You need someone with experience with your hair type. I have curly hair that doesn’t really show as curly when short. The barber shop that I had been going to for years botched my haircut because the barber wasn’t as familiar with longer hair and less familiar with curly hair.
My wife asked her stylist for a recommendation for a stylist that was familiar with my hair type. That made all the difference. I’ve been seeing this same stylist for 3 years now
yeah this is the kinda thing I wanted to hear. I’m not even sure what my long hair type is like. I know shaved
I just left the ‘young Beiber’ hair and it’s entering the early stages of mullet/hockey helmet. wanna get on top of before it becomes crazy.
thanks for your input!
Is your hair curly or straight? I would go to a salon regardless, but if it’s curly, I’d _definitely _ go to a salon. Even better if you can find one that has dealing with curls as one of their focuses.
Dude just find a good barber you trust Doesn’t matter where you go, you just need someone who knows your hair type and how to cut it
It really depends on what you want to do with it, though I’d recommend a salon
If you have curly hair you would be best served finding a stylist who knows how to properly cut curly hair.
I’d say it straight, but for sure turns into hockey helmet hair might quick lol. just entering a short mullet stage right now. kinda don’t want it like that lol too much party time
The Barber’s hair is long because he’s not allowed to cut it himself.
What do you want from it? How long?
- I always went with a barber for anything that looked like a traditional men’s cut, and that includes a variety of lengths.
- any special requests, non-traditional or significantly longer, a stylist
- I’ve had bad cuts from both barbers and stylists, all you can do is vote with your feet
- realistically all the old barbers are gone and new barbers feature very short modern styles that I’m not interested in, so I go with one of the cheap salon chains
