Gents, we get it. We feel guilty for spending money on us too. Everyone has priorities in life, but you do have to remember you are one of them! You know when you catch yourself in the mirror and think, “HELL YEAH!” No? Well maybe you need a change! Be it your haircut, a new top or a drink with a friend to boost your confidence.
But going back to haircuts, a good haircut doesn’t mean it costs an arm and a leg. A good hair cut encompasses a few things and it comes down to suitability:
- Your style (how you dress is obviously going to affect your cut)
- Your career (your job lets us know where on the creative/conservative spectrum we can sit)
- Your hair texture (both density and any issues you may have)
- Your morning routine (whether you like to preen yourself or get up and go)
- Your lifestyle (how long it may be between haircuts)
- Your bone structure (what will suit your face shape)
- Your height (whether you want to add extra height)
Can you see what the common factor is? It’s you! No one is the same and that means no haircut should be! People always leave salons that follow these steps, looking like an ace individual not looking all the same (because who wants that?)!
An important part of a good haircut is that your barber considers how it’s going to grow out. Most gents get their haircut every 4 weeks, but life happens! Our children get ill, our friends take us out drinking the night before our appointment, work gets busier than it ever should be allowed to, cancellations, forgetting to book or not having time to even think about your hair is allowed in the modern world. Don’t beat yourself up!
That’s why be sure to find yourself somewhere that you can trust! Like, at the Haus of Sottung they are sure to cut your hair in a way that as it grows out it still looks good. By doing it “the Sassoon way” (as Sid Sottung, Creative Director and Owner is a die-hard Sassoon-er). They use square, masculine shapes to avoid that mushroom stage of a haircut, they also taper your cut into your neck and blowout your sideburns which means it can last you that little bit longer.
So, by not going for a cheap cut more regularly but paying that little bit more but having it last, it might be the way forward. As well as getting a luxury treatment with scalp massages, bone structure analysis and through working by our “style for lifestyle” rhetoric, why not treat yourself once a month?
