In 2022, the crop continues to be one of the most popular men’s haircuts around. And that’s no surprise, as the cut exudes a modern, urban and stylistic swagger. Its origins can be traced back to the 1960s, a time when Vidal Sassoon was revolutionising the hairdressing industry with the very first progressive male and female haircuts. The crop is perfect for men who want their hairstyles to look cool without spending a lot of time on styling them. Using this as inspiration, WAHL collaborated with WAHL Ambassador Jürgen Niederl (Holy Tiger Barbershop, Graz) to create the Skinfaded Textured Crop, a haircut which, as indicated by its name, is characterised by intensively styled textures at the top of the head.

The Classic Gentleman Look is still one of the most popular male hairstyles around today. The main reasons why men love it so much are its versatility and how easy it is to create. Whether as a professional look in the office or a more casual style during time off – the Classic Gentleman looks great anywhere.  MOSER is presenting this style as part of its current Oriental Inspired Men Collection collection 2022 in collaboration with Enes Dogan of the MOSER Artistic Team. With special accents and details, he breathed new life into the classic masculine style and gave it a modern and elegant look. The top hair is kept longer and can be combed back or blow-dried into a straightforward pompadour later on, or simply worn in a more casual, natural style if a sportier look is desired. The side and neck areas are cut short, while the skin-to-hair transitions must be of first-class quality (as in the upper area) to lend the style its sophisticated look. During the creative process, Enes Dogan drew inspiration from the high barbering art of the Orient, which is famously used as the basis for intensely perfect male haircuts and shaves.

Classic men’s haircuts, such as the stylish Brush Back, are making a big comeback in 2022. This exclusive haircut is distinguished by voluminous top hair which has been blow-dried backwards, and features naturally shortened side and neck sections with precise contour lines and top-class transitions. Perfect faded transitions are essential to creating this style’s well-groomed, dapper look.  WAHL Professional’s detailed step-by-step guide outlines the creation of a classic Brush Back Look, which is given a modern twist by way of a special line art accent in the side neck area. This inspiring look mainly appeals to men who prefer hairstyles with a greater level of originality.

Summer 2022 is fast approaching and it’s definitely going to be a season to remember. The first summer without restrictions in two years, already we are seeing the columns filling with colour and styling appointments are clients enjoy every occasion possible having been restricted for so long.

With summer on it’s way and the sun back shining, the creativity has returned to salons, with clients opting for brighter hues, vivid shades and statement hair once again. It’s the time to be alive and encourage our clients to embrace their own vision for their hair, creating something truly unique to them.

The Skinfaded Executive Contour Sidepart is THE haircut for men who prefer masculine, straight-contoured and super-precise styles. In collaboration with Enes Dogan from the MOSER Artistic Team, MOSER is presenting this male look as part of the new Oriental Inspired Men Collection 2022. The Skinfaded Executive Contour Sidepart is distinguished by extreme fades which have been perfectly blended into the sides, as well as the neck area and the back of the head. The top hair is kept slightly longer, while a striking side parting shapes the entire structure of the Skinfaded Executive Contour Sidepart. When creating this smart and sporty male look, Enes Dogan drew inspiration from the high barbering arts of the Orient, which are famously used as the basis for perfect male haircuts and shaves. There, a professional haircut created by a barber is considered the hallmark of a well-groomed and fashion-conscious man.
