Popular Men's Haircuts in 2026

Most requests this year are for natural texture on top and clean, tight sides. Here are the five cuts we see most.

1. Textured crop with a low taper

A French crop with a point-cut fringe and a low taper.

• Good for: straight, wavy, or thinning hair.
• Styling: work a small amount of matte clay or sea salt spray through towel-dried hair with your fingers.
• Upkeep: a touch-up every 2 to 3 weeks keeps the neckline sharp.

2. Low taper fade

The low taper stays popular because it leaves the length on top and only shortens the sideburns and neckline. It works with slick backs, quiffs, and curly hair, and it looks fine in an office.

3. Buzz cut with a mid fade

Instead of one guard all over, we put a #3 or #4 on top with a mid skin fade and a sharp front edge. It looks good with a lined-up beard, especially on a square or oval face.

4. Soft mullet

The 2026 version is subtle. We leave length at the nape and keep the sides tapered. It suits curly and wavy hair.

5. Side part

The classic side part is still around. Today it’s usually styled with a low-shine pomade or cream rather than gel.

Bring a photo and we’ll fit any of these to your hair.
