THE QUEST FOR FRESH: EXPLORING THE CONSTANT EVOLUTION OF MEN'S HAIRSTYLES

February 24, 2023
Men's hairstyles have come a long way since the days of the stock standard side part and comb-over. In recent years, the barbershop has become a real integral part of the way in which men express their individuality. Barbers are constantly pushing the boundaries and this is being driven by the quest for something new but also trending.

The modern day barbershop is a hub of creativity and expression.

There is a constant refinement of barbering techniques and an ongoing evolution of the hairstyles created.


The clients quest for something fresh but also trending

drives progression and inspires barbers to push the boundaries with creative cuts. This endeavour for something new while staying within the vein of what's on trend has lead to some recent developments that are particularly exciting.

Burst fades and mullets have become all the rage, especially among professional sports stars in both the NRL and A-League. This popularity overflows onto the sports fans and this has led to an influx of new styles that are an exciting development for barbers and clients alike.
