Surfer hair – the short long mens cut

Surfer shag

The Short long mens cut

This cut tells everyone I’m relaxed, my life is a vacation but sometimes I have to wear a suit to a meeting.  There’s a fine line between surfer hair and a good ol fashion bowl cut.  A bowl cut typique has a very blunt line with few layers.  For the surfer shag make sure you tell your barber or stylist that you want short textured layers with a little length in the back.

This is a easy maintenance cut.  To achieve the perfect surfer hair use a small amount of Woody’s Cream rub into tips of hands and comb into style.  A little salt water from this mornings session wouldn’t hurt.

Here Patrick Swayze plays adrenaline seeking surfer turned bank robber, Bodhi.   He’s sporting the surfer mullet.   This is just a way over grown shag, with a bang trim every now and then.

The Quiff – A Mans modern cut

The Quiff

A Mans modern cut

My client came in this week and said he’d been listening to Morrissey a lot lately give him a Quiff.  I laughed and and sent him out with a quite awesome looking wavy quiff. I thought through out the rest of my day where the hell did the word “Quiff” come from?

What is a hair Quiff?

In my search I found that Quiff comes from the word “coiffe” a french word meaning hairstyle.  So a modern day quiff is a mixture of a few different hairstyles mainly from the 40’s-50’s era.  Picture a flattop, and a pompadour morphed into one.  If your feeling funky add a slight mo hawk texturizing into the mix.  The sides are shorter most of the time buzzed and the the top goes short to long from back to front.  The longest piece of hair, the one closest to your forehead is the quiff. You’ve seen it on rebel heartthrobs like Elvis and James Dean.

To style: For straight hair, blowdry the front half of your hair straight up, and the back half forward.  style with TIGI “S” factor creamy molding wax.

For wavy hair, towel dry hair apply a small amount of TIGI “S” factor creamy molding wax distribute evenly.  Mold hair back with fingers or wide tooth comb, air dry.

Disconnected Fade

 Disconnected Fade

 

On the Hit series Boardwalk Empire star Michael Pitts puts a classic twist on this disconnected fade.   This look does take a little blowdryer styling, but well worth the 5 mins.  Towel dry,  apply a dime size amount of Woody’s creme blow dry hair back.  Finishing touches: add touch more of Woody’s creme comb thru with wide tooth comb.  This look is great for wavy, and curly hair too.  Ask one of our barbers to customize for your hair type.
