| on moving to Renton. I found where I'm going to be getting my hair cut from now on. It's this very cool little barber shop down the road from me. It's a combination Barber Shop and Gallery, with a Sauna & Shower. It has a great laid back atmosphere, and they really care about doing a great job. The price is excellent, and the service outstanding. And they even have a barber pole out front - that is the sign of a good place! The owner's art is very modern/abstract, and he has about 4 pieces up. I rather like them, but some people may not. Aside from that, he has a number of other great works on the wall - you can barely see the walls for the paintings! You can check out the other paintings on the website. As an aside, it is one of those annoying websites with music, so be aware! ....(we removed the music) The whole place is very comfortable - the kind of place that I love, and will be returning to. If you want a good haircut, go here. You won't regret it. Erick T. wrote this in his blog. |
Do you prefer a blocked or tapered nape. If you have a skinny or long neck,
blocking can add the illusion of width. A tapered nape will look good on a short
or thick neck. In general, a tapered nape tends to look a bit neater and more
natural than a blocked nape once your hair starts to grow out a few days after
the haircut.
Men's short haircuts: style names and descriptions
To follow are a few common short haircut style names and illustrations. Keep in
mind that barbers (and individuals) in different parts of the country or world (or
even across town) may interpret these styles differently, or may have popular
local names for them. Some style names are fairly generic, and can vary quite
a bit in length and style interpretation (for example, there are many ways to cut
an "ivy league," and a "crew cut" can vary a bit in overall length), so until you
are your barber know get to know each other, be specific about your length
preferences, how you prefer your hair to be tapered, and so on.
This is nowhere near an exhaustive listing of possible men's haircuts; it just
includes some of the more well-known styles. You and your barber may come
up with variations on the basic themes of these haircuts that suit your face and
personal style. You may also wish to check some of the sites in the Resources
section for photo examples of these styles, so you can see the variety of
possibilities.
Brush cut
F
Brush cut, the sides and back are cut short and tapered, but the hair on the
top of the head is usually cut to the same length (I.e., no tapering in length
on the top of the head), following the curve of the head. The top is worn
straight up to resemble the bristles of a brush.
Burr (also known as an induction cut)
The burr is created by taking a clipper with a very short blade and cutting all
the hair on the head to the same length (usually 1/8 inch or shorter). It is
shorter than a "butch," which is usually about 1/4 inch or so. You can see
much more scalp with a burr than you can with a butch. A burr is short
enough that it feels a bit rough, like sandpaper, when you rub the head
against the grain of hair growth.
Business man's cut
A business man's cut is a generic term for a conservative, short (but not too
short) haircut that is appropriate for an office setting. It usually refers to a
tapered cut on the back and sides, with enough length on the top of the
head to be able to part the hair or wear it brushed back from the forehead.
There are several possible variations on the business man's cut.
Butch
The butch is created by taking a clipper and cutting all the hair to the same
length on the top of the head (typically about 1/4 inch or so). It is longer than
a "burr," which is often considered to be 1/8 inch or less. A butch may or
may not be tapered around the ears and near the neckline, depending on
the preference of the wearer.
Caesar cut
In the Caesar, the hair on the top of the head is layered to around a length
of 1 to 2 inches, with the front combed forward into short bangs. The back
and sides are tapered. The style is named after Julius Caesar, who wore
short bangs forward in a similar way.
Crew cut
A crew cut is a fairly generic term for a very short cut that is tapered on the
back and sides, and tapered on the top of the head to have a little more
length toward the front hairline. The contour of the head is usually followed
on the top, giving a somewhat rounded look. A crew cut can be considered a
very short version of a classic taper cut, or even a very short pompadour if
the hair is brushed upward in the front.
Fade
A fade is an extreme type of taper cut, where the hair on the sides and back
is cut very, very close to the head and then tapered upward-- usually
beginning above the ears or at the temple-- to a longer length on the top of
the head. There are many local and popular names for different kinds of
fades, such as temple fade, low fade, Philly fade, Brooklyn fade, and more;
be sure to discuss what you'd like with your barber.
Flat top
For the flat top, the hair on the sides and back are usually cut in a short
taper, and the hair on the top is cut to stand up and give a very flat
appearance to the top of the head. There are a number of possible length
variations with the flat top, though the longer the hair on the top, the more
likely you will need some sort of styling product (hair wax) to keep it standing
up straight. There are also styling variations as to how the sides can be cut
to meet the top: the sides can go straight up and give a square appearance
to the top of the head (often referred to as a "boxy" flat top), or the sides can
be somewhat contoured toward the top, giving a more curved appearance
(often referred to as "rounded" or "beveled").
A very short flat top usually leaves the hair in the middle of the head cut tight
to the scalp. When viewed from above, that area of exposed scalp is
referred to as a "landing strip." The "U" shape of hair that surrounds a
pronounced landing strip (again, when viewed from above) gives a very
short flat top the descriptive name "horseshoe flat top." A flat top with longer
hair on the sides of the head is called a "flat top with fenders."
High & Tight variations are numerous... Leave longer hair by your
description, and what lengths. You need to fully describe what you expect,
how close and how long,where to go to all bald and how close, with one 0 to
00000 thats bald.
Convertible
"Convertible" is a generic term referring to a style that can be worn in more
than one way. Taper cuts or layered cuts can be styled with a little more hair
left on the top so they can be worn parted, without a part, forward in bangs,
combed up and back, to the side, etc., depending on the length and the hair
type.... Do not just say a trim and hope the Barber can read your mind!
I use a time frame if its been just a month since the last H.C. That's the
same H.C. you had the last time go back a month or two months what ever.
Layering
Layering refers to cutting hair at different lengths through out the hairstyle.
Layers can be blended so that you cannot see where one length leaves off
and another begins, or they can be left un blended, giving a chunky
appearance. Layering can help remove bulk and weight from areas where
hair is generally left longer, like the top of the head. Layers can be uniform
throughout, such as trimming every hair on different parts of the head to
approximately the same length (instead of being cut longer in the center and
shorter around the edges). Some kinds of layered cuts can give a more
modern, "messy" look when hair gel or pomade is applied. In short, layering
is a means to an end, and it doesn't refer to a single specific style.
If you are getting a short hairstyle and want it layered, you can ask your
barber for a layered cut. However, if you decide to wear a layered style that
is very long (several inches or more on top),
you might want to go to a men's hair stylist where they specialize in longer
men's cuts. Barbers can certainly cut longer men's styles-- most are quite
good at it most barber shops Are today staffed with Cosmetologists
grads from Beauty schools with instructors who have little experience in
cutting short hair and how to use clippers. These barbers should be good
with longer styles and the Barber educated should be better with men's
shorter cuts. Choose a shop that can do the best job with the styles you like
to wear.
Some advise! Do Not wait until the barber has cut half or most of your hair
before you suddenly remember you wanted it shorter or some other
description. If we have to start all over and give you a second H.C. I can tell
you we are not very happy with you and may very well not want you for any
future business.
Another suggestion to all men who want to get along with there Barber...Do
not try to read the paper while getting your H.C.
Chewing gum is very annoying as your temple is moving vigorously..
