Bristol Barber - specialising in creative cuts for men

At our central Bristol barber’s one of the most common requests is for a creative cut – but many of our clients are not sure what the latest high-street creative cuts for men actually are.

This is where we can, of course, help, advise and assist in creating the best look for each individual client.

At the moment, for example, one of the most popular creative cuts for men is a vintage look – similar to those being created for the TV series BroadwalkEmpire. 

This slicked-back, 1920-era hairstyle is coming into vogue with a vengeance, and is relatively straightforward to recreate for our clients in Bristol.

It can be worn with a side parting and slicked across the back in a shine effect – typically, using our preferred American Crew Classic Pomade product.

This is a versatile look, which is also able to adapt into a 40s, 50s, and 60s look too – as we’re currently seeing from the popular TV series Mad Men which also lends itself to developing further creative cuts.

We can also provide outstanding RockABilly quiffs with a twist, adding a very low taper combined with a crisp razor finish, as well as a big top-heavy fringe, if required.

Wedding hair in Bristol for men – Bristol Barber can help!

At our central Bristol barber’s one of the services we’re finding more and more popular is that of hair consultation for men for their wedding day – after all, women do it well in advance, so why not the guys, too?

A new men’s haircut takes time to settle and look its best – ideally, up to a fortnight. Planning is key to look your best – especially on your big day.

Whether it’s a freestyle look or a classic cut, making sure that ‘the’ wedding haircut looks spot on can be a stressful exercise. We can take the stress away.

We’ll consult you on the best haircuts to go with your wedding suit and give advice on different looks, too. Plus, a hot towel shave before the main event will really give the very best image any man would want on his wedding day.

Perfect men’s grooming in just 10 minutes per day

At our central Bristol barber’s one of the most common questions we get is how to keep hair looking healthy and groomed with minimal effort on a daily basis – after all, we’re all on the go with hectic lifestyles, but still want to keep ourselves looking as good as possible.

Bristol Barber can help – and without it being time-consuming or a major hassle in your daily routine, too.

To keep your hair looking groomed on a 10-minute daily regime, try the following:

· Shower and shampoo hair

· Towel-dry, rather than hairdryer

· Apply products of choice, ensuring you hand-style

· Lightly blowdry with products and finish with hand styling

The use of heat can make a huge difference to the styling and condition of mens’ hair, so make sure you’re careful to maintain good hair health by not overheating it. Careful and selective use of hairdryers only!

Healthy hair, cleaned regularly, with minimal fuss and brilliant hair products should be the basis of any mens' grooming for just 10 minutes per day.

We recommend B 4 Men for daily shampoo and conditioning, with an excellent Moulding Paste in their product range. The hair products used will be dictated by the thickness of the hair – products are prescribed by us accordingly here at our central Bristol barbering shop.

Bristol Barber spreads the loves with American Crew shampoo offer

Whilst our central Bristol barber’s has become something of a local institution over the last 26 years, we’re always on the lookout for ways to give our clients something extra – on top of the best barbering in Bristol, of course.

With that in mind, our leading hair product ranges for men from American Crew and TIGI are the best men’s products on the market, as far as we’re concerned.

So, during March, with any American Crew hair product purchased, we’ll be giving our clients a free American Crew shampoo, too, with our compliments.

Our American Crew styling products include: crew, fibre-crew, forming cream, crew pomade, crew grooming cream and crew classic wax.

Our TIGI for men hair products include matt separation wax, moulding paste, in-curl defining cream and power play firm finish gel.
