The time of the ‘short back and sides’ haircut is over. For years, men thought of haircuts as a chore that needed to be done quickly so they could look presentable. But in a city like ours that cares about style, 'presentable' is no longer enough.
You want a flow, texture, and a style that works in college as well as boardrooms. That's exactly where the need for a real men's hairdresser Vancouver comes in.
At The Forge Barbers Vancouver, we're one of the most trusted barber shops in Vancouver. We give you a style that is all your own by combining the accuracy of old-fashioned barbering with the creativity of modern hairdressing.
Read on to understand what makes us the best men's hairdressers Vancouver has ever seen.
Modern Men’s Hairstyles Taking Over Vancouver
Vancouver’s style scene is always shifting. Locals always prefer a style that balances clean structure with natural movement. Check out the latest trending hairstyles in Vancouver:
• The Textured Crop
Textured crop is a type of haircut where the short sides stay neat, and the messy top looks good without much product. It looks good in Vancouver's rainy weather.
Barbers use point cutting and razor slicing to get rid of extra hair while keeping the natural texture. It's perfect for those with thick and long hair that needs structure without rigidity.
• Refined Mullet
Forget about the hockey hair from the 1980s. The new version of Mullet is sleek, tapered, and very advanced.
Now, it's all about disconnection. The barber makes the hair around the ears (temples) thinner and leaves the length at the back alone. This makes a sharp outline that brings out your jawline and, at the same time, keeps the 'party' at the back neat and stylish.
It works for men with strong jawlines who aren't afraid to be bold.
• Low Taper with a Natural Top
It's a clean hairstyle that fits both college students and professionals. The haircut grows out smoothly, keeping the edges clean for weeks. So, you don't need much maintenance for it.
It's great for straight or wavy hair that needs a little extra shine.
• Modern Pompadour
It is a unique, structured look that still feels fresh. Here, the barber uses round-brush blow-drying to add height and scissor-over-comb techniques to shape the sides.
Guess what? Vancouver’s fashion-forward crowd loves volume, and this cut delivers exact control.
How to Find the Best Men's Hairdresser in Vancouver
Check out how to find the best men's hairdresser Vancouver locals trust:
• Hair Analysis
A professional always starts by checking your:
Growth direction
Density variations
Crown swirl
Cowlicks
Natural part lines
This prevents sides from being choppy and uneven blending.
• Simple Explanation
If the hairdresser can't explain your haircut without using technical terms, they probably won't be able to do it well. The right barber explains what they're doing, like why they're thinning here, why they're leaving weight there, and how it will look when it's dry, in layman's terms, to make sure that you're convinced.
• Look At Their Scissor Usage
Scroll through the Instagram page of the salon. Do they only post pictures of skin fades? Or do they post scissor cuts also?
If a barber tries to cut your hair long with only clippers, that's a red flag. Scissors create softness and texture that clippers can't copy.
• Growth Pattern
Tried out a new salon in your area? Here's a quick tip to analyze their skill.
Check out your current hairstyle. A great haircut should look 90% as good four weeks later as it did on day one.
If your hair loses its shape after a week, it wasn't cut right. A good hairdresser cuts your hair in a way that makes it look neat as it grows, so you don't look messy between visits.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Do modern hairstyles need a lot of upkeep?
Not really. Most styles only need a quick touch-up each morning if they are cut right.
2. How often should I visit a men’s hairdresser?
It’s good to visit a professional salon every 4-6 weeks to keep your hair growing in the right way and your style fresh.
3. Will the type of hair I have affect the style I can choose?
A good hairdresser can make any style look good by adjusting the cut to fit your hair type.
4. How is men's hairdressing different from a regular haircut?
A regular haircut is all about cutting your hair short. But hairdressing focuses on everything: style, shape, movement, maintenance, and so on.
