The Benefits of Regular Professional Haircuts for Men

Let’s be honest, while there are endless articles out there about women’s beauty routines, ranging from hair care and styling to make-up tutorials and how to achieve youthful skin and hair on a daily basis, the content available for men is fairly sparse.

As a result, when it comes to grooming and booking things like haircuts and other services which fall into the beauty and personal grooming sector, men tend to opt for a monthly routine – but is that what’s recommended by the professionals? In this blog post, we answer the most common questions regarding men’s grooming and specifically professional haircuts.

What is a professional haircut?

Contrary to popular belief, a professional haircut does not have to mean a complete style overhaul or a brand new look. Rather, a professional haircut is one which is done by someone who is trained and experienced in working with men’s hairstyles, and who can create the result you want using high grade equipment and the best techniques.

Having seen and worked with all manner of styles across men of all ages and from all walks of life, professional stylists tend to exude experience and will be able to advise on the best style to help you achieve your desired look. Not to mention, a professional haircut will tend to end with advice on maintenance and upkeep in the form of a men’s beauty regime, from which shampoo is best to use for your hair, to how often you should be washing it and which gels or mousses are best to enhance your hair’s natural texture.

With all that said, what are the benefits of getting a professional haircut?

What are the benefits of getting a professional haircut?

There are a number of benefits available for men who book regular professional haircuts, the first and most obvious being that their style is easily maintained. For men who prefer a very quick morning routine, often air or towel drying hair after a shower and only applying minimal product, a haircut which is easy to manage is key – with regular bookings with your barber or hairdresser allowing you to stay on top of the length and overall management of your look.

Another benefit that stems from this is the improved appearance of a man who indulges in regular haircuts. While women and men with longer styles tend to work with and even covet growth in regards to the way they style their hair, those with much shorter and/or closely cropped hair can find that excessive growth fast becomes messy with an unkempt aesthetic.

And while we’re on the subject of unkempt hair, it is worth noting that professional haircuts enhance the overall health of hair – removing split ends and thinning weight from hair which has been allowed to grow.

Finally, a regular haircut allows you to keep in touch and on trend in terms of how you look. While some men select a style that works for them and will continue to rock that trend for years to come, others are much more responsive to fashions and the latest looks, with regular haircuts letting you experiment as you please.

Tips for choosing a stylist

Once you’ve made the decision to add professional haircuts into your regular grooming routine, it’s time to find a stylist. Here at Boilerhouse Gentlemen we offer professional hair services to men which combine our experience across all sorts of different styles with the kind of tailored service which means we will work with you to create a style that you are comfortable with and can maintain in between cuts.

For us, a big part of selecting the right stylist lies in their ability to work within the parameters of different hair types and styles. For example, a very close cut or high maintenance style will require more regular haircuts, while longer hair can afford to be left for longer – with a good stylist able to identify and provide advice according to where each client falls.

The last thing to consider when selecting a stylist is that sometimes it can be easier to change stylist as and when you are ready for a complete transformation in haircut. Getting new opinions on what could work for you can be hugely beneficial, with different stylists specialising in different looks and finishes.
