Before you book
For younger boys, choose the cut by morning effort, not just looks: a style that needs daily styling will last exactly one day.
Frequently asked questions
How often do boys’ haircuts need a trim?
Short styles usually need a tidy-up every 4–6 weeks to keep their shape; longer styles can go 8 weeks.Booking the next appointment before you leave the shop makes it easy to keep.
What do I ask my stylist or barber for?
Ask for the style by name and length — for example, “a short textured crop, scissor cut on top, number 4 on the sides” — and say if school has a hair policy.
