Finding the right haircut
Have you ever seen a guy who has a super receding hairline and he has long dreads? How about a man with a mohawk but is almost completely bald in the middle of his scalp? I must admit, I tried to hold on to my receding hairline for years until I finally had to let it go. Lol.
Getting a haircut can be a daunting experience especially if it’s your first time in a new barbershop. With so many styles to choose from and so many factors to consider, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. However, with a little bit of knowledge and some careful consideration, you can find the perfect haircut that complements your face shape and enhances your overall appearance.
1. Determine Your Face Shape
The first step to finding the right haircut is to determine your face shape. The most common face shapes are oval, round, square, heart, and diamond. To determine your face shape, pull your hair back and examine your face in the mirror.
* Oval: Oval faces have a balanced proportion, with a slightly wider forehead and a gently rounded chin.
* Round: Round faces are characterized by full cheeks and a rounded jawline.
* Square: Square faces have a strong jawline and a squared-off hairline.
* Heart: Heart-shaped faces have a wider forehead and a pointed chin.
* Diamond: Diamond-shaped faces have a narrow forehead and a pointed chin, with wider cheekbones.
2. Consider Your Hair Type
Once you’ve determined your face shape, consider your hair type. Your hair type can impact the style and length of your haircut. For example, if you have thick, curly hair, you may want to opt for a shorter haircut to avoid excess volume. If you have fine, straight hair, longer layers can add volume and dimension.
3. Look for Inspiration
Before heading to the salon, look for inspiration. Browse magazines, social media, and websites for hairstyle ideas. Consider the celebrities or public figures whose hair you admire and see if their style would work for your face shape and hair type.
4. Consult with Your Barber
When you arrive at the barbershop consult with your barber. They can offer suggestions based on your face shape, hair type, and personal preferences. Be sure to bring pictures or examples of hairstyles you like, as well as any concerns or questions you may have.
5. Maintain Your Haircut
To keep your haircut looking its best, it’s important to maintain it properly. Schedule regular appointments with your barber to keep your hair trimmed and shaped.
In conclusion, finding the right haircut for your face shape and hair type can enhance your overall appearance and boost your confidence. You don’t want to look like this:

Your child’s first haircut
The first haircut is a learning experience, so don’t expect perfection. Your little client may not sit still or hold his head in the right position, but that’s okay! The whole point of this trip is to help him get used to having his hair cut and develop some trust in you as his barber. It’s also important that you tell him what you’re doing at each step–this will reassure him and make sure he knows what’s going on.
If he doesn’t seem interested in talking while getting his hair cut (or if he gets distracted by something else), try putting the tv on Nickelodeon or putting one of his favorite videos on YouTube on the phone while waiting for your turn at the chair; this can keep both of your minds occupied until it’s time for him to sit down.
Make it a fun event
There are a few ways you can make the experience fun. First, ask him what he wants to do with his hair. This will help him feel like he has some control over the process and gives him something to look forward to in addition to getting rid of his baby locks. Second, ask him how he would like his hair cut (e.g., short or long). If possible, entice him with a lollipop (with parent’s permission) if he sits still for his cut.
Ask questions and listen to the answers.The first haircut is a big deal. You want to get it right, but you also don’t want to make your little client feel uncomfortable or anxious about the experience. The key here is patience and making sure that everyone involved is having fun. Here are some tips on how to do that:
1. Be friendly to your little client when he walks in the door. Say a few words to try to relax him.
2. Make sure mom has his fave video on the phone or put on Nickelodeon on the shop tv
3. With parent’s permission, entice little man with a lollipop if he sits still.
4. Remember, all of these techniques are ways to ease little man’s emotions but he may still cry or move a lot. However, as his barber, you must show patience, be gentle and smile.
5. Make sure mom/dad understands that the first haircut may not look like the cuts on the internet.
Make the first hairstyle an easy one.
