15 Trendy Men’s Haircuts for 2025
We’ve rounded up 15 best men’s hairstyles, whether you prefer a sharp short cut, a balanced medium-length look, or something longer and more daring. This guide is broken into three sections. Let’s dig in.
Short Haircuts for Men in 2025
Short cuts are a must in WA. They’re easy to manage under our sunny skies but still sharp and on-trend. Here are the 5 best short hairstyles to try in 2025:
1. French Crop
The French Crop is a modern classic. Short all around with a straight-across fringe in front.
It’s great for most face shapes and especially good for thick or straight hair. The key is a blunt fringe cut straight over the forehead, paired with a textured top.
Ask your barber to cut the fringe full and even, then use scissors to add choppy layers on top. Finish by blending the sides into a tight skin or mid fade.
Styling Tips:
Cut the fringe blunt and use point cutting on top for texture. Balance it with a clean fade on the sides. Apply matte clay or pomade and rough up the top for a natural, lived-in look.
2. Textured Crop
A Textured Crop is like the French Crop’s cool cousin; short sides with a messy, layered top. It’s ideal for men looking for a stylish, easy-to-maintain haircut. Best for thick or wavy hair, this cut adds volume and movement.
Keep the top about 2–3 inches long and have your barber razor- or point-cut it into uneven layers. This creates natural choppiness and prevents the hair from laying flat.
Styling Tips:
Go for 2–3 inches on top with layered, choppy cuts. Use a clay or paste to work into the hair for a matte, textured finish.
3. Buzz Cut
The Buzz Cut remains a masterpiece in 2025. This ultra-short style, clipper guard ¼–½ inch, is perfect for busy WA guys or those who love a military-chic look. In 2025, even buzz cuts get a modern twist; think sharp skin fades and sometimes shaved designs on the sides. It flatters square, heart, or round faces.
To get it, buzz the whole head evenly and ask for a neat line-up at the hairline. For extra flair, some men add a hard part or etch a subtle design into the fade.
Styling Tips:
Keep the length uniform all over, around 0.25–0.5 inches. For an up-to-date look, blend the fade into the top and create crisp edges at the forehead.
4. Faux Hawk with Fade
Think of the Faux Hawk as a mini-mohawk with attitude. It features a strip of longer hair down the center that gradually tapers into very short or faded sides. This combines the edginess of a traditional mohawk with the delicacy of a fade. It suits oval, diamond, and square faces.
Achieve it by leaving about 2–3 inches on top, combed toward the center, and fading the sides tightly.
Styling Tips:
Keep the center strip slightly longer and use a matte clay or wax to push it up or spike it. Fade the sides down clean.
5. Slick Fade
A Slick Fade blends a clean fade on the sides with a slicked or side-parted top. This style screams confidence as it’s sharp and sophisticated. It suits square or round faces.
To get it, ask for a mid or high fade that blends into a longer top (about 3–4 inches). Use a high-shine pomade or gel to comb the top back or to the side. The result is a polished look that works at the office or the beach.
Styling Tips:
Request a seamless fade into a longer top. Leave 3–4 inches on top. Slick back or part neatly, and use a pomade for shine (or a matte paste for a natural finish).
Medium-Length Haircuts for 2025
Medium-length cuts blend sophistication with casual flair. These styles (chin to shoulder length) let you play with texture and volume. Here are 5 standout medium cuts to try:
6. Short Pompadour with Fade
The Pompadour is back but with a 2025 twist. This version has a voluminous top brushed back and tight faded sides. It’s perfect for square or heart faces and even adds the illusion of fullness to thinning hair.
Ask your barber for 3–4 inches on top, styled up and back, and a skin or low fade on the sides. Use a volumising mousse before blow-drying to lift the hair, then apply a strong pomade for a smooth finish.
Styling Tips:
Blow-dry hair up and back for height. Apply a medium-to-strong pomade or wax and comb it into a swept-up quiff. Keep the sides faded or tapered.
7. Classic Quiff
The Quiff is a gentleman’s staple that’s still turning heads in 2025. It looks like a subtle pompadour in which hair is brushed upward and backward from the forehead. Most face shapes can pull it off, especially with medium-thick hair.
To get it, leave roughly 2–4 inches on top and a taper on the sides. Use a round brush while blow-drying for volume at the roots, then finish with a medium-hold wax or pomade to keep it in place.
Styling Tips:
Blow-dry the front section up for lift, then style back. Use a wax or pomade to hold the height and shape.
8. Classic Comb-Over
The Comb-Over with a defined side part never really left men’s fashion. In 2025, it’s still a go-to for a clean, polished look. This style fits any face shape and any occasion.
To achieve it, cut the sides short (a gentle taper) and leave the top a couple of inches longer. Create a precise side part and comb the hair neatly to one side. Use a light pomade or styling cream to keep it smooth without too much shine.
Styling Tips:
Cut sides to about 1–2 inches, with 2–3 inches on top. Create a sharp side part and comb the hair over.
9. Slicked-Back Undercut
For an eye-catching medium hairstyle, try the Slicked-Back Undercut. This is where classic meets contemporary. You’ll have very short, clipped sides (an undercut or high fade) and a longer top that is slicked straight back. It suits men with thick, straight or wavy hair.
To do it, clip the sides very tight while leaving about 3–5 inches on top. Comb that top straight back and lock it in with a high-shine gel or pomade.
Styling Tips:
Start with a dramatic undercut (or high fade). On top, apply a lot of pomade or gel and comb the hair back tightly. Use a hairdryer on a cool setting if needed to set the style.
10. Bro Flow
The Bro Flow is for men having medium length hair with texture. It’s basically shoulder-skimming hair left to flow freely as gentle waves or curls. It flatters oval or long faces and those with wavy hair.
To get it, keep your hair around mid-neck length. Let it air-dry or use a hair diffuser. Use a lightweight styling cream or leave-in conditioner to add definition and control frizz.
Styling Tips:
Simply let your natural waves/curls form the style. Wash and towel-dry, then apply a leave-in conditioner or light cream. You can blow-dry on low with a diffuser for extra volume.
Long Haircuts for 2025
Long hair is having a moment, even in 2025. These shoulder-length cuts let your natural texture shine while still looking groomed. Here are 5 of the hottest long hairstyles for men:
11. Man Bun
If you’ve been growing out your hair, the Man Bun is a classic. Just gather your locks into a bun at the top or back of the head. It suits men with at least 6–8 inches of hair; common for beach or outdoorsy types.
This cut is surprisingly easy. To get it, pull your hair up. Tie it and you’re done.
Styling Tips:
Keep hair long of almost 6+ inches. To style, pull all hair up and twist into a knot at crown or occiput, securing with an elastic. Use a tiny bit of styling cream to tame flyaways if needed.
12. Long Shag
The Long Shag is all about texture and movement. It’s shoulder-length hair with lots of layers and a bit of wildness, great for wavy or straight hair and gives a cool, edgy vibe.
Achieve it by asking your barber for choppy layers from top to bottom. Use a sea salt spray or light mousse on damp hair and rough-dry with a blow-dryer for that tousled, windblown finish.
Styling Tips:
Request textured, choppy layers all over. Finger-comb for a natural, messy effect.
13. Modern Mullet
Yes, the Mullet is back in a sophisticated way. A Modern Mullet means short faded sides with a longer, textured top and back. It’s made for men who want to stand out. This version is more refined than the 80s original which was fades on the sides give sharp contrast, and the top has volume and style.
To get it, ask for a high fade or taper on the sides, and have your barber leave the top and back longer. Add layers for shape. Style the top with a texturising spray or light wax to enhance the volume.
Styling Tips:
Keep sides shaved or tapered high. Texturise the longer top and back so it sits full. Work a fiber paste or cream into the top/back for lift and movement.
14. Long Curly Hair Fade
For naturally curly or wavy hair, a long curly hair fade is a winner. You let the curls grow out (4–6 inches on top) and pair them with a tight fade on the sides. This shows off your curls without bulk. It’s the best of both volume and texture on top, paired with clean, tapered sides.
To achieve it, apply a curl-enhancing cream to your wet hair and air-dry. Get regular fade touch-ups every few weeks to keep the sides clean.
Styling Tips:
Let your curls grow to around shoulder-length. Use a curl cream or leave-in conditioner to define the curls. Keep the sides and back closely faded or tapered to highlight the curly top.
15. Slicked-Back Long Hair
For a polished long-hair look, try slicked-back long hair. This is the long-hair version of the classic business cut which adds sophistication for medium to long hair. The hair on top is pulled straight back.
To style, comb the top straight back and secure it with a strong-hold pomade or gel. For a sharper outline, you can also combine this with a slight undercut or low fade at the sides.
Styling Tips:
Keep the top at least 4–6 inches. After washing, apply a large dollop of pomade or gel and comb all the hair straight back. Use a blow-dryer on low to set it if needed, and add a touch of hairspray for extra hold.
