Thinking about switching up your haircut?

Men’s hairstyles have gotten much more interesting lately, and I’m loving the variety we’re seeing. Some guys are going for bold fades and textured styles, while others prefer something shorter, cleaner, and easier to manage.

And the best part? You don’t have to change your look to try something new completely. Sometimes a different fade, a little extra length on top, or more texture is enough to make your haircut feel fresh again.

So, if you’ve been searching for a men’s haircut near me and need a little inspiration before your next appointment, here are three men’s hairstyles worth considering.

1. The Fohawk Haircut: Bold Without Going Too Extreme

Remember the mohawk? Well, the fohawk is its more wearable cousin, and it’s a great choice if you want something with personality.

Short for “faux hawk,” the fohawk haircut keeps more length through the center of the head while the sides are cut shorter. Unlike a traditional mohawk, there’s no need to shave the sides completely or create a dramatic strip of hair. The result is a modern, textured style that can look edgy without feeling over the top.

What I particularly like about the fohawk is how customizable it is. You can pair it with a low fade for a softer appearance or go with a higher fade if you want more contrast. It also works with different hair textures. Straight hair can be styled upward for a defined shape, while naturally wavy or curly hair can create a softer, more relaxed finish.

But what about maintenance?

You’ll probably need a little styling product to create that signature height and texture. Depending on how short you keep the sides, regular trims will also help maintain the shape.

If you like a haircut that stands out but still works for everyday life, this one is worth discussing with your stylist.

2. The Burst Fade Mullet: A Modern Take on a Retro Classic

Yes, the mullet is back, but today’s versions look quite different from the ones you might remember!

The burst fade mullet combines longer hair at the back with a rounded fade around the ears. Instead of creating a straight, traditional fade, the shorter sections curve around the sides of the head, giving the haircut its distinctive shape.

This creates a noticeable contrast between the shorter sides and the longer, textured sections on top and at the back. It’s definitely one of the more adventurous men’s haircuts, but that doesn’t mean it has to look extreme. We can keep the back relatively short for a more subtle version or leave additional length if you’re going for something with a little more attitude.

I especially like how this cut works with naturally wavy or curly hair. The texture adds movement and makes the longer sections feel more relaxed.

Is it high-maintenance?

That depends on how defined you want your fade to look. The faded sections need regular upkeep to stay sharp, while the longer hair may require some styling to maintain its shape. If you’re not interested in frequent appointments, a softer version may be more practical.

3. The Textured Crop: Short, Stylish, and Easy to Wear

Not everyone wants a dramatic haircut, and that’s perfectly fine! If you prefer something shorter and relatively easy to maintain, the textured crop is one of my favorite options.

This haircut usually features short sides, a slightly longer top, and plenty of texture throughout. Some versions also include a short fringe that falls naturally toward the forehead. Unlike a very structured haircut, the textured crop is supposed to have a little movement. It can look neat and polished or slightly messy, depending on how you style it.

One reason this cut is so popular is its versatility. For men with thick hair, texture can help remove bulk and make the hair easier to manage. For finer hair, carefully placed texture can create the appearance of more volume without leaving the ends looking too thin.

And the styling? Usually, it doesn’t take much.

A small amount of matte styling paste or texture cream can help define the top without making it stiff. You can also keep it simple and let your natural hair texture do most of the work.

Just remember that shorter sides will need occasional trims to maintain the overall shape.

Which Men’s Haircut Should You Try?

All three styles offer something different, so the right choice really comes down to your hair and lifestyle.

If you want a little height and personality, the fohawk might be your favorite. If you’re ready for a bolder transformation, the burst fade mullet offers plenty of character. And if you prefer a shorter, versatile cut, the textured crop is a great place to start.

But remember, inspiration photos are only a starting point! Your hair texture, density, growth pattern, and daily styling routine all play a role in how a haircut will look on you.
