Side Part

A defined part with the bulk swept to one side. The most conservative cut on this list and the one that reads best in a room full of suits. Fine hair suits it better than thick.

What to say

Ask for it like this.

Barbers work from instructions, not vibes. These are the three things that decide whether you get this cut or something adjacent to it.

  1. Ask for a side part and say which side you part naturally.
  2. Say whether you want a hard part cut in or a natural one.
  3. Ask for a taper on the sides unless you specifically want the sharper faded version.
Living with it

Three to four weeks. A light cream, not a heavy pomade.
