These are the cuts guys are actually asking for in the chair this year, ranked by how often they walk through the door at Strange Times.

Home/Guides/The 10 Most-Requested Men's Haircuts of 2026

1. The mid fade

Still the most-requested cut in the shop. Balanced contrast that flatters almost every face shape and pairs with any length on top, which is why it stays at number one.

2. The Edgar

A blunt, straight fringe with a tight fade on the sides. Big with younger guys and driven hard by social media through 2025 and into 2026.

3. The textured crop

Short, choppy layers on top with a fade underneath. Low effort to style, hard to get wrong, and it works for fine or thick hair.

4. The burst fade

A semicircle fade around the ear that leaves weight at the back. The signature move behind modern mullets, mohawks and Edgars.

5. The modern mullet

Short and tight in front, length and attitude in the back. The ironic-then-serious comeback cut is fully mainstream now.

6. The low taper

The professional pick: clean and subtle, grows out gracefully, and reads sharp in any workplace.

7. The pompadour

Volume up front with tight sides. A classic that keeps coming back for guys who want a styled, put-together look.

8. The buzz cut

The lowest-maintenance cut there is, often paired with a crisp line-up and a fresh beard for a clean, deliberate look.

9. The comb over with a hard part

A shaved part line, a fade, and a swept top. Timeless, versatile, and easy to style day to day.

10. The crew cut

Short, tapered, and no-fuss. The workhorse cut that never really goes out of style.
