Is the person who cuts your hair serving you well? If you find yourself going to the same barber or stylist just because it's comfortable, you may be selling yourself short. Sometimes, we just need a little nudge in the right direction. If the person who cuts your hair is guilty of sloppy work, bad service, unsanitary conditions, or they just don't offer you any new ideas, it may be time spring and summer grooming to fire your barber or stylist.

Spring and Summer Grooming
Tuesday May 7, 2013
This season has been a bit of a roller coaster. As I type this, it's I've just come in from a long walk which required me to wear a jacket (it's normally in the 80's or 90's this time of year here at About.com's Mens Hair headquarters in Atlanta). While some of us are longing for a little heat, others are feeling it full force. At least mentally, my clients are preparing for spring and summer -- they're cutting it short and preparing for vacations. Spring and summer finds most of us more active and more on the go. If that's the case with you, check out my new article on spring and summer grooming for tips on how to streamline your grooming routine while still looking great.
Hairbond Product Review
Tuesday April 23, 2013
I've had the opportunity to try some really amazing haircare products over the past few years, and the styling products from Hairbond are among the best I've ever tried. My nickname for Hairbond in my barber shop is "hair crack!" For the past month, I've been putting their four main styling products, Distorter, Sculptor, Shaper, and Moulder to the test and I haven't been disappointed by any of them. Check out my review of the Hairbond product line for more about this great stuff!
Brett Davern's Haircut
Tuesday April 23, 2013
I was channel surfing the other night and came across a promo for MTV's Awkward television show. I really love actor Brett Davern's haircut. This is a great example of how well the right cut can balance your face shape. For this style, the hair is clipper cut close and high on the sides and back (with a bit of disconnection on the side opposite the part. This style can be worn causally tossed to the side as Brett has it in the photo, or slicked back neatly for a more formal look. Nice.
