The Gentleman’s Cut with Hard Part

@miguel.ace_

This is a zero faded side part haircut with razor-cut parting, created by barber Miguel Acevedo of Toronto, ON. It adds a lot of structure and masculine angularity to the face. It stays looking polished and crisp with little effort required to style.

“This is a side haircut that’s diverse and suits all but the most conservative professionals. Mainly due to the tight fade and razored part. It’s classic with an edge. The cut-in parting is ideal for low-maintenance styling, though it requires regular barber visits to maintain,” Acevedo explains.

Any product will work with side part hairstyles, but generally, it’s a slick look that works well with pomade or wax.

When requesting this haircut, Acevedo suggests asking your barber to leave some weight below the parting to ensure a balanced, square shape.

Taper Fade with a Side Part and Volume on Top

@hairbycodyj

This is a taper haircut with side part. It’s for the man who needs to be tidy and professional for work but who still wants to have some fun with his hair.

Made by stylist Cody Johnson of Canada, this cut has length on top can be slicked back if needed, styled with some volume for a more modern look, or even left down in the face for a more textured and messy look.

“Having the sides and back as short as this style will require maintenance every 4 weeks to keep you looking sharp,” Johnson notes.

A product with hold is also a must to keep a tapered side part throughout the day. Johnson explains, “A clay or paste, with a shiny or matte finish. First, blowdry the hair totally dry, Then apply the product first in the opposite direction of the desired look, and go back and work the product into the hair in the correct direction.”
