Upper East Side Living
Not all haircuts are created equal, and understanding the difference can transform your look. In this category, we break down the technical side of barbering – from the precision required for a clean skin fade to the artistry behind a classic scissor cut. Drawing on British barbering traditions and our experience working with Manhattan professionals, we explain why certain cuts work better for your face shape, hair type, and lifestyle. Whether you're considering going short with a buzz cut or want to understand what makes a taper fade different from a skin fade, these guides give you the vocabulary and knowledge to communicate exactly what you want in the chair. No generic advice here – just honest expertise from barbers who've been perfecting these techniques for over a decade.
Haircut Styles & Techniques
Great grooming doesn't end when you leave the barber chair. This category is packed with practical advice to help you maintain your cut, choose the right products, and understand what actually works versus marketing hype. From explaining why your haircut looks different two weeks later to honest reviews of the products we use every day (REUZEL, PRORASO, SLICK GORILLA), these posts answer the questions guys actually ask us. We're not trying to sell you a 10-step routine – we're giving you straightforward tips that fit into real New York lifestyles. Whether you're wondering how often executives actually get haircuts or which drugstore products to skip, these guides are written from years of experience working behind the chair, not from a marketing department.
