Can I ask my barber for recommendations?

Published in Barbering Advice 2 mins read

Yes, you absolutely can ask your barber for recommendations! Barbers are professionals trained to understand hair types, styles, and what cuts will look best on different face shapes.

Here's why it's a great idea:

  • Expert Knowledge: Barbers have experience with a wide variety of hairstyles and understand what works best for different people.
  • Personalized Advice: They can assess your hair texture, face shape, and lifestyle to suggest styles that will suit you.
  • Up-to-Date Trends: Barbers stay informed about current trends and can offer modern and stylish options.
  • Even if you are unsure: As the reference states, "the barber will be able to offer suggestions even if you don't know your buzzcut from your skin fade." So, don't feel pressured to have a specific style in mind.

What to ask:

  • "What hairstyle would suit my face shape?"
  • "What are some low-maintenance hairstyles?"
  • "What products do you recommend for my hair type?"
  • "What are the current popular hairstyles?"
  • "Can you show me some pictures of hairstyles that you think would look good on me?"

Asking your barber for recommendations is a smart way to get the best haircut possible and learn more about how to care for your hair. Don't hesitate to ask – they're there to help!
