The 2015 hairstyles recommended for gents at Barbafella, Northampton’s leading gents Barber shop.

Chaps, get your hair summer ready!

You change your wardrobe for summer, and now it’s time to give your hairstyle a re-vamp too! Is your hair practical for your summer needs? Are you planning on spending every spare moment on the festival scene or do you have a long, hot summer of meetings? Let Northampton Hair Salon, Barbarella, style your hair for the summer.

The Buzz Cut

Classic and masculine, the buzz cut has been a top trend for a while now and remains a regularly requested style. Pretty much anyone can pull The Buzz Cut off and it’s a great, practical haircut for every occasion. Before you make the decision though, ask your stylist if they think this style will suit your face shape. Next, decide (yes, even with The Buzz Cut there are decisions to make!) whether you’d like the same length all over – classic Buzz, or a graduated length – a crew cut or flattop. The Buzz Cut is low maintenance, and suitable for the office or the muddy festival. As always, all the personal advice you might ever need is available at Barbarella, your favourite Northampton Hair Salon.

The Fringe

At Northampton Hair Salon, Barberella we like to spot the newest trends in hairstyles. The AW15 runway shows proved that this style is set to be a huge trend come October, so why not get involved now? If you like a little more hair to play with and style, why not think about a fringe. The things to think about when going for a fringe are; the weight and thickness of your hair at that length, and as always, how long do you really want to spend grooming before you go out? A thinner, shorter fringe with a quick swoop of styling product can feel light and airy for the summer.

The Slick Back

Oh wow, is the slick back really a summer hairstyle suggestion? Yes, it certainly is! It keeps your hair in place and off of your face – what more could you want for a summer cut? This cut at our Northampton Hair Salon will have a tight fade around the sides and back, with a good length on the top to allow for a great visual slick back. If you’ve got very thick hair, we will probably remove some of the weight to give you definition and make your hair easier to manipulate. This doesn’t have to be a scraped-back do. Using the products as recommended by our Northampton Hair Salon will create a hairstyle with body and character.

Wavy/Curly Hair: The Relaxed Quiff

At our Northampton Hair Salon, we style and make recommendations based on your unique hair profile. If you normally straighten your hair, you probably want to avoid doing this in the summer. Let us at Barbarella style your natural hair into a style you love for the summer season. The trends this season for naturally wavy and curly hair, are based around natural, loose quiffs which are effortlessly cool
