As there are so many areas on one’s body that can be styled, a structure is in order. A familiar childhood nursery rhyme, Heads and Shoulders, Knees and Toes: to symbolize a top down approach to styling tips for men’s fashion.
Today we’ll start with… … HEAD!
More specifically, hairstyles! Yes, in styling and men’s fashion, the crown of one’s head is probably the area most fussed over, for the obvious reason that it is the most apparent area that people will look at.
If I were to go into what kind of hairstyle would suit each and every face shape and feature, I probably will be finishing up this post in about a month’s time. Instead, I think I would drop some tips on how to get an appropriate haircut.
1) EXPERIMENT
The first thing you have to understand is that a haircut that does not REALLY suit you is not the end of the world. You should try different hairstyles from different hairstylists. However, after a while, I do suggest that you decide on a hairstylist that you are comfortable with and patronize him/her on a regular basis. I say this because, like a family doctor, a regular hairstylist will more likely understand your hair texture, hair line, face shape and facial features and propose an appropriate hairstyle. Let’s face it, its always a pleasure to see a familiar face.
2) AVOID LOW END BARBER SHOPS
This may sound snobbish to some people, and if you really are happy with what you friendly neighborhood barber can offer you, then ignore this advice. The reason I say this is because, low end barbers generally do not have the necessary training to personalize a hairstyle to you.
3) AVOID HIGH END SALONS
Ha! Thought I was a snob who blows on my manicure finger nails and speak in pompous French accents? Hell no! Low end barbers =no skill. High end salons= overpriced and overkill. C’mon, do you really need a hundred dollar haircut? And how much difference is a hundred dollar haircut downtown compared to a $15-$30 dollar haircut somewhere in the suburbs?
To be continued....
