The Buzz Cut
What is a Buzzcut?
A buzz cut can be loosely defined as any hair style which can be performed with only the use of clippers and no scissors. Therefore, the high and tight also falls under the umbrella. This is another traditional military style that features a closely shaven back and sides with a longer patch of hair left on the top.
Finding The Right Haircut For You:
In order to find your perfect haircut, you must take into account factors like face shape, hair texture, and of course, the type of vibe you want to give off.
Other items to consider are what level of maintenance you are willing to put into your look as well as the lifestyle you lead.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
We suggest always providing your barber with a reference image whenever possible. A photo of the haircut you’re hoping for will greatly simplify communication.
A great haircut begins with a great consultation, if your barber/stylist does not seem interested in taking the time to understand what you want then you should find another barber!
Consider Your Natural Hair:
Not every haircut will work on every head or with every type of hair. Men with curly hair can pull off styles men with straight hair could never dream of and vice versa. So take into consideration the locks you were born with.
A good barber/stylist can help direct you to a style that will work with your hair type.

A Few Of Our Favorite Cuts
The Caesar:
The distinguishing feature of the Caesar Cut is that the top is about an inch longer than the rest of the hair. This style leaves a fringe on your forehead that is combed downward. The sides and back are not tapered.
The Razor Fade:
You can ask for your fade to end high on the sides and back (High Fade), low (Low Fade), or at the temples (Temple or Brooklyn Fade).
The classic Razor Fade using a straight razor is sometimes difficult to find, but The Man Shop’s proudly offers a true Razor Fade experience!
Neckline Options
Rounded Neckline:
A rounded neckline is similar to a blocked neckline, but with rounded corners.
Tapered Neckline:
A tapered neckline follows your natural neckline. It’s called “tapered” because it follows the natural line of your hair and gets shorter toward the back of your head.
Blocked Neckline
The distinguishing feature of the Caesar Cut is that the top is about an inch longer than the rest of the hair. This style leaves a fringe on your forehead that is combed downward. The sides and back are not tapered.
