What is a Buzz Cut? Frequently Asked Questions for Barbers

It is a hairstyle where the hair on the entire top of the head is cut to the same length. It is primarily shaved using clippers to ensure that the hair length is absolutely uniform on the head. The length on the sides can then be adjusted according to the client’s preference. Usually, a buzz cut is recommended with a mid fade or high fade.

Fade is not so much a hairstyle as it is a technique where the “color” of the hair is blended. The hair is gradually faded from a lighter shade to a darker one, transitioning from the skin to various lengths depending on the type of fade. Primarily, fades are done with clippers, but they can also be created with scissors. Most often, fades are cut on the sides of the head and have become an inseparable part of modern hairstyling trends.

The only difference between these types of “fades” lies in the height where the barber starts blending the hair upwards. With a low fade, the barber trims the contours around the ears and sideburns, but the blending doesn’t extend into the temple area. A high fade, on the other hand, is characterized by skin visibility across almost the entire temple area, with blending into the longer hair sometimes starting above ear level. A mid fade, as you might guess, is a compromise between these two extremes. However, it’s important to note that a fade isn’t limited to just these three styles. A fade starts exactly where the client wants it.

A fade is suitable for almost everyone. However, it might not feel comfortable for people who are self-conscious about prominent ears, have scars or birthmarks in the temple area they prefer to keep hidden, or struggle with skin issues like problematic skin or certain types of dermatitis.

It’s a fairly legendary hairstyle characterized by short hair on the top and sides of the head, while the hair at the back is left longer. For this reason, it’s sometimes referred to as “business in the front, party in the back.” Locally, it’s also occasionally nicknamed the “čolek” (newt).

Rest assured, a professional barber will never leave you with something resembling a slimy amphibian. A mullet can absolutely look good! It’s best suited for men with thick hair, whether straight or wavy. However, we don’t recommend it for those with a round face shape, as this cut tends to accentuate facial roundness even more.

Customers with a flattened head shape often struggle with their hair lacking volume when viewed from the side, even if they have thick hair. When cutting their hair, it’s crucial to avoid following the shape of the skull and not to remove volume from the hair growing between the crown and the occipital bone. For these clients, the hair needs to be literally “sculpted” to create the illusion of a voluminous, rounded bump at the back of the head, seamlessly transitioning into the nape.

We especially appreciate when clients come in with basic preferences, such as maximum or minimum lengths. From there, we can design the perfect style based on their head shape, face structure, hair and beard quality, and their initial preferences.

Choosing the right barber is an essential step to ensure you’re satisfied with the result and have a pleasant experience during each visit. Here are a few tips to help you find the perfect barber:

1. Recommendations from friends: Ask your friends, family, or colleagues for recommendations. If they’ve had a good experience with a specific barber, chances are you will too.
2. Check online reviews: Look at reviews and ratings of barbers in your area. This can give you valuable insight into their services and level of professionalism.
3. Visit the barber in person: The best way to determine if a barber is the right fit is to visit them personally. Check out their workspace, observe how they interact with clients, and gauge their overall vibe.
4. Try a small test: If you’re unsure, start with something simple like a light trim or shaping. This can help you decide if their style and approach match your expectations.
5. Communicate your expectations: Before the haircut or shave, discuss your preferences and ideas with the barber. Clear communication is key to achieving a satisfying outcome.

Choosing the right barber is crucial for your satisfaction with your haircut and the overall experience. Be open, communicate your thoughts, and don’t hesitate to explore different options until you find the one who’s just right for you.
