UAEvery client who visits our salons has their own story and preferences. In this article we describe several – in our opinion – very interesting men’s styles built around one feature: the fringe.
Men’s haircuts with a fringe – a style we keep reinventing
Haircuts with a fringe are consistently popular with men because they add character to the face, are versatile and easy to style. Short hair can be cut, textured and styled in many ways, and it works with both elegant and casual looks. Below are a few examples that may inspire your next haircut. If you’re not sure which one suits you, drop in to one of our salons – we’re open on weekdays and weekends, no appointment needed.
Classic short fringe, with or without a beard
A short, minimalist cut where the hair on top stays short and the fringe is lightly shortened and textured is a real hit. It works well for men with oval or rectangular faces. Short hair combined with a well-defined face looks masculine, and a short, tidy beard can emphasise it even more. Styling is easy: a little pomade gives the short fringe definition.
Side fringe
Another cut we’re often asked for. It’s quite versatile: the fringe is longer and swept asymmetrically to the side, so – depending on the occasion – the style can look elegant or relaxed. It has been popular with men for years. We recommend it especially for round faces, as it balances the proportions. Styling is easy: a light gel or wax and, optionally, hair powder to keep the fringe in place.
Long messy fringe – fashionable, artistic disorder
The “messy” style is all about a natural, slightly undone fringe. It’s a great option if you prefer a relaxed, modern look and want to show a bit of independence. It suits almost every face shape, especially with medium-length hair. To style it, work matte paste into the hair and push the fringe strands around to create a loose, messy texture.
French crop with a short fringe
The French crop is one of the most fashionable cuts of recent years: short sides, a slightly longer, textured top ending in a short, straight fringe on the forehead. We recommend it especially for square or rectangular faces – with a strong jawline it looks great. It’s almost maintenance-free: a light wax brings out the texture, or a low-hold pomade if you prefer.
Long curtains fringe
A great option for men with a high forehead is the curtains fringe – parted in the middle and falling to the sides. It was very popular in the 1990s and is back in fashion today. It’s ideal for longer hair, straight or wavy, and suits men with a longer face. Styling is quite simple: a smoothing cream and a comb are enough.
Textured fringe with an undercut
In this style the fringe is longer and full of texture, while the sides are cut very short (undercut). It’s a modern, bold cut for men who want to stand out, and it looks good on men with sharper features. A strong styling product is enough to emphasise the fringe’s texture.
Whether you have a high forehead or short sides, there’s a fringe for everyone – and it doesn’t need many styling products. Before choosing, talk to your hairdresser so the cut and the way you style your fringe suit your face.

FAQ
Which fringe suits a man?
For a high forehead and receding temples – a textured fringe brushed forward (French crop, fringe). For a round face – swept to the side (side fringe). For a long face – longer and parted (curtains). A straight, heavy fringe suits few people.
Does a fringe go with a beard?
Yes – a short, textured fringe with a short, well-groomed beard is one of the most popular combinations. A long fringe plus a long beard “closes in” the face, so it’s better to shorten one of them.
How do I style a men’s fringe so it doesn’t fall flat?
Apply paste or clay to slightly damp hair, blow-dry in the direction you want the fringe to lie and set it with cool air. With heavy, straight hair ask the hairdresser for light texture at the ends.
How do I grow out a curtains fringe?
You need 10–15 cm on top, which takes 6–10 months. In the meantime trim only the sides and back, and part the top in the middle and dry it to the sides – that way the in-between stage looks intentional.
How often should a haircut with a fringe be trimmed?
Every 4–6 weeks; shorter versions (crop) more often. At Haircut Express you can have just the fringe trimmed between haircuts – a separate, quick service from the price list, no appointment needed.
