Whether you opt for a very short haircut like a clean fade or want to let your naturally curly locks flow, the key to a great cut is choosing one that fits your face shape, hair type, and personal style. At Mr. Winston's, our expert barbers have gathered a list of the most popular haircuts for men in 2025. Read on to find inspiration for your next visit to the barber's chair.
Understanding the Hairstyle Trends: What’s In for 2025?
2025 is all about easy to maintain styles that compliment your natural hair texture. Balance and adaptability is key, with classic cuts like the buzz cut and crew cut remaining timeless, while other modern styles focus on curly or wavy hair length. Overall, many are focusing on blending clean lines with a natural finish—whether you prefer a refined appearance for formal events or a laid-back style for casual outings.
Here are the top 10 trending haircuts for 2025 and how you can rock them at Mr. Winston’s:
1. Buzz Cut with Skin Fade – Clean and Timeless
If you want a low maintenance style that provides a polished appearance for men with oval, square, and diamond-shaped faces, look no further than the classic buzz cut. Buzz cuts keep your hair out of your face and can show off clean lines in professional and casual settings. For a modern twist, pair this stylish choice with a skin fade to create a sharp, defined look.
2. Textured Crop – Casual Yet Polished
One of the most versatile hairstyles, textured crops can highlight natural curls, wavy hair, or straight textures. With shortened sides or a fade at the bottom, and a longer top, this style keeps things slightly messy while still looking intentional. You can also use matte pomade for a natural finish.
3. Crew Cut – A Versatile Classic
Following the same "shorter sides, longer top" concept of the previous style, but with a shorter hair on top, the crew cut is a classic low-maintenance style. Unlike a buzz cut, the slightly longer top adds texture for both casual and formal settings.
4. Taper Fade – Modern and Sharp
The taper fade blends hair from longer on top to shorter sides for a clean, stylish edge. Classic taper fades are great for a natural look, while high fades provide bold, striking contrast. Your barber will work with your unique face shape and hair type to determine the best way to add volume and movement while maintaining clean lines.
5. Curtain Bangs – Framing the Face
Curtain bangs aren't just for the ladies, as icons like Austin Butler and Tom Hardy have inspired men all over to try this refined hairstyle. Falling to either side of your face, curtain bangs work best for medium-length hair, enhancing round, square, oval, and heart-shaped faces while keeping things effortlessly cool.
6. The Man Bun – Stylish and Practical
The man bun isn't just for hipsters—it's a practical and stylish way for any guy with long hair to manage flowing locks while maintaining a refined appearance. This style is excellent for keeping hair out of your face without sacrificing those long locks. A blow-dryer and styling gel can also help you achieve a polished bun.
7. Mini Mullet – The Trendy Comeback
This 1970s and 80s inspired style, featuring shorter sides with a longer back, offers a bold, stylish appearance without going full retro. Undercut mullets are an excellent trending choice, as pairing this longer style with a low-maintenance skin fade will turn heads.
8. Faux Hawk – Playful and Bold
Who says you can't be professional and have fun with your hair? Also inspired by classic styles of the years past, this style adds volume at the top with faded sides, making it a versatile choice for guys who want a trendy yet wearable look.
9. Classic Undercut – Refined and Stylish
If you want to stand out at formal events without worrying too much about daily styling, the classic undercut is an excellent option. The faded sides and longer top create interesting contrast. For formal events, you can add volume with a fine-tooth comb and matte clay.
10. Shoulder-Length Waves – Relaxed Yet Sophisticated
Want to show off your long locks? For fellas with naturally curly or wavy hair, shoulder-length styles offer a laid-back yet elegant look. Let your hair flow, or style it further with braids, buns, and more. You can also use styling products like sea salt spray to enhance natural texture.
Why Choosing the Right Barber Matters
