Every year the industry of men’s haircuts in Russia steadily makes a step forward, and a good barbershop is no longer about shaved temples and bangs on the side, or rather, not only about that. Masters are more willing to make a variety of haircuts, more actively offer the client to change the image, and together make a paradigm to adhere to in the future. In general, 2022 is the year of complete diversity and permissiveness. Any barbershop is depend on marketing and promoting. They are creating all brand identities like barbershop logo design, banners, website and etc.
It is worth noting that the fashion industry and the industry of hairdressing services are experiencing a complete “renaissance”. That is, a huge number of different styles are in harmony with each other. And if you look at the catwalk, we will see that as such there is no trend right now. There are a lot of different clothing brands, brands, and people who represent a certain style. And there are a lot of groups formed around a certain trend or subculture. It’s the same with haircuts, you can do absolutely anything. You can have long hair and short hair.
Both machine haircuts with smoky transitions and clear contours, classics under the parting, and the light carelessness of smart casual style are popular. It is safe to say that British cuts in the vein of Oasis, heavy round looks like the Beatles, ripped punk cuts like those of Sid Vicious are making a comeback. Also, quite a big community formed around the so-called traditional haircuts, I mean European and American old school like the Pompadour.
There is a return of water-based lipsticks and broiling for strong fixation. Many people, including older men of status, are starting to grow their hair. No, we’re not talking now about looking like a young metalhead with unwashed hair down to his shoulder blades. But a neat shoulder-length slicked back or parted is more important than ever.
What hairstyles are not allowed?
These days any length is up-to-date and any haircut is allowed. Any haircut that looks harmonious on a man and highlights what needs to be emphasized, has a place.

The most important taboo is to give a man a haircut that he does not need. Conventionally: if a person comes in at the age of 35 on the official-business style and wants to shave his temples to zero and leave a bob on top – it is better to do it. In general, haircuts Topknot or Montana is better left to teenagers.
Why is it so important to know the shape of the face?
The Chinese strategist and thinker, author of the “Art of War” Sun Tzu said: “Know your enemy and know yourself, then you will not be defeated in a thousand battles. Knowing the strengths and weaknesses of your face is important to be able to choose the appropriate hairstyle for your medium hair. If this knowledge is neglected, the only way to create a spectacular bow will be systematic trips to the barbershop. And that takes time and money.
Features of the anatomical structure of the skull and face, hair type, and overall style – that is what determines the choice of haircut. Photo from FIRM Moscow’s Lookbook 2022, which will be unveiled on April 26.

For clarity, let’s go back to the Beckham photo example. David is the owner of a square face shape with a pronounced lower jaw. What’s good for a square is not good for a circle. If you are a bearer of a round face shape, Beckham’s hairstyle will look tasteless at best, and sometimes ridiculous.
In the context of harmony and completeness of the bow hairstyle – as important element as the suit. You wouldn’t wear a classic suit complete with cheap Chinese sandals or beach flip-flops, would you? It looks inappropriate. With hair it’s the same story – an untended heap of hair can spoil any image.
But if you personally, dear friend, are ready for experiments with the suit and flip-flops, keep in mind an obvious fact: not everything is stylish that is unusual. Sometimes unusual is just ridiculous. Check out our article, “Couture,” and maybe you’ll look at such experiments from a different angle.
