Long Slick Back Hair

Even long hair can produce a trimmed up, slick back look. Just style it slicked back and keep it there using gel or your favorite pomade for that neat, suave finish.
The Modern Gentleman
@envybarbers
A cut does not make a gentleman. A true classic man owns even the seemingly normal barber’s cut. The best thing about the modern gentleman cut is it works on both straight and wavy hair types.

Stylish and sneaky— a quiff with a defined part plus a lower fade comb over is a neat way to pull up your sleeve for a cool gentleman’s hairstyle. This is great for hiding those long locks when you’ve got a strict dress code for the office.
Undercut with Fade Haircut for Thick Hair

Gentlemen’s Simple Side Part

Ah, a classic side comb-over. Never fails to leave the girls admiring your fresh gentleman’s haircut.
Combover for Medium-Length Hair
@thugcuts
This medium-length haircut is classic and professional. Created by barber Isabelle Enei from Canada, the best thing about this haircut is that it looks sophisticated and as though time and effort went into it.
A combover haircut like this requires time to style and products. Enei explains, “It’s not suitable for low-maintenance men or men who want to “wash and wear.” It works well for those with wavy and straight hair textures.”
This look is best achieved when blow dried with a vented brush or round brush for more volume. “I always recommend applying a grooming spray to damp hair prior to blowdrying for extra hold. After blowdrying, apply a paste throughout the hair. For a softer finish, use your fingers to style it, and for a more structured look, comb it into place,” Enei explains.
The Ivy League
@_hairbypamela
This modern gentleman’s hairstyle is an ivy league haircut with a side part, designed by hairdresser Pamela Panousis of Australia. What’s great about it is it’s sophisticated yet fun and modern.
“I’ll always look at the hair type and consider all things necessary in order for my guy to walk out and be able to style his hair easily and effectively after he leaves my chair,” Panousis explains.
Side Part + Classic Taper
@romanspringfield
This classic gentleman haircut is a side part pompadour with a taper fade on the back. A lot of dudes used to wear these kinds of haircuts in the 1950s and barber Roman Tsubera from Ukrain is a big fan of the style.
“As a barber, I try to advise these haircuts to all guys because they’re practical, stylish, simple to comb, etc. Side parts are one of the most casual haircuts you can go to a job interview, party, date. If you know how to comb or apply some hair product in it, they will become your signature style. That’s why I love cuts like this side part with classic taper! They look great on duty or even at home,” Tsubera explains.
If you don’t know which haircut or style to get, Tsubera proposes the classics because they never get out of fashion. “The interesting thing is that every man with any hair type can afford classic cuts. You can find any haircut depending on face shape, personality, lifestyle and etc,” Tsubera notes.
