Fade or Taper? The Top Hair Trends for Men in the UK Right Now

Men’s hair trends have never been more diverse — and in 2025, it’s all about mixing classic cuts with modern flair. Here’s what’s hot right now in UK barbershops:

Trending Styles This Year

• Skin Fade with Textured Crop: Clean sides, messy top — perfect for guys who like low maintenance but high style.

• Mid Taper with Curly Top: A go-to for curly-haired gents who want shape without losing length.

• Buzz Cuts with Beard Blends: Minimalist, masculine, and tidy. Add a sharp beard fade and you’re golden.

• Side Part with a Modern Twist: A nod to vintage without looking dated — slick it back or wear it matte for a more casual feel.
