Low-maintenance luxury haircuts for men

Most luxury haircuts are not low-maintenance. The compromise is that you book more often. The cuts on this list are the rare ones that do both — they look right in week one and still look right in week six.

The soft-taper textured crop

Soft taper grows out without a hard line. The textured top reads intentional from week one to week six. Our most-requested low-maintenance cut.

The sculpted short cut

Short enough that grow-out is forgiving. Cut with shape, not with clippers.

The longer-on-top scissor cut

Counterintuitive, but works — a longer scissor-cut top, soft sides, no harsh fade. The shape persists for six weeks without intervention.
