Photos of Men's Haircuts/Styles?

Evening gents. I know I have seen this somewhere before but a good while back there was a post on some grooming forum that showed various traditional haircuts for men. I don't know if it was on B&B or not. Anyroad, what I am hoping for are some good candid shots of fresh haircuts. Especially since you get a better idea what cuts look like on "the rest of us" as opposed to staged models. I have tried the google option but really can't find a comprehensive list. I have what I think is described as a square face and I wondered what cuts would look appropriate on me? I have a pretty full head of hair with only light receding at the temples that actually stopped about twenty years ago. Thanks.

Regards, Todd
 
Todd, the answer to your question is Pompadour. The answer to any question is Pompadour.

That's how I won Jeopardy. Alex looked at me and said "The answer to every question." So I smiled and said "What is pompadour?" His mustache fell off quickly after and, as of today, has yet to be seen again.
 
Being in the Military we don't have many choices for hair styles and all of them are short. I wear mine like this (and no that's not me, I'm prettier than this man):

Well, in the grand scheme of things I think that is correct. Pompadours are the best. And no, I am not kidding. However, mine was way shorter(and lower!)than that chap's. My wife just hated it and said it made me look older. So I have been on a quest ever since. Long live the pomp.

I agree 100%. I wear my hair one of two ways; either long like a hippie or a shorter version of that guy's pomp.

When I got my hair cut for the first time in a few years earlier this year, I went to a place up the street that I'd never been. I told the woman that I wanted a pompadour, and she stared at me blankly. When I described what it was to her, she suddenly seemed to realize what I was talking about and said, "Ooooohhh, you mean like an EMO CUT." I got up out of my seat and left the barber shop.

Thankfully I found out my old barber was still around, and I when I told him I wanted a pompadour, he said "Elvis or James Dean?"
 
Just taking a shot in the dark in case you are located in Florida. I see a lot of these particularly in and around the Gainesville area.

This is why I have no barbershop to recommend to anyone anymore. I go to a Great Clips franchise but the lady who cuts my hair carries a barbers license so she UNDERSTANDS mens hair. Most of these salon places drive me nuts. Even that one has too much teen music going on trying to create excitement or something. I really will have to go looking at what's left of our local barber shops just to see if there are any left worth visiting. As for the emo stuff, well, the sight of these guys only encourages enemies to try and take over the whole country.

The last time I had a pompadour, I told the barber what I wanted and he gave me sort of a blank stare(he was a new guy in the shop). The guy I usually see in that shop said, Like Elvis?" I told him that that was a bit higher than I wanted and the one lady barber in that shop said, "So, like Brian Setzer?"

I almost hugged her.

That's this guy for those who don't know.

I agree 100% with you I used to like poking into hot topic to see what kind of heavy metal tee's they had and now it just looks like a gaggle of weepy, wannabe goths that think the world should cater to them cause "Are lives are so terrible" and bands that more than likely make more in a month than I do in a year sing about it like they have a reason to be sad and have a fanbase larger than most good classic metal bands do. I would love to drag some of these kids to a ozzfest style concert of metallica, megadeth, ozzy, black label society, iron madden, and throw in iced earth and watch them all burst into flame from being exposed to the sheer amount of awesome they could not comprehend.

:End rant: Sorry:blushing:
