HairCutsForMens publishes practical guides to men’s haircuts, beards and grooming. This page explains who writes them, how they are put together, and what to do if you spot a mistake.

Who writes our guides

Our guides are written by Jaan, a working barber in the early years of his career. He writes from what he sees behind the chair: the cuts men ask for, how different hair types behave, how styles grow out, and how to explain what you want to your barber. You can read more about him on our About page.

How we create content

• Practical first. Every guide aims to answer the questions men actually have: will this suit me, how long does my hair need to be, what do I tell my barber, and how do I style and maintain it.
• Barbering experience plus research. Advice on cutting, lengths, clipper guards and styling comes from hands-on barbering. Where a topic goes beyond that, for example hair growth rates or scalp care, we stick to widely accepted information and say when something varies from person to person.
• No invented experts or reviews. We do not publish made-up quotes, fake testimonials or claims about tests we have not done.
• Clear measurements. Where possible we give lengths in inches or millimetres and clipper guard numbers, because “short on the sides” means different things to different people.

Images

Many of the illustrations on this site are digitally created to show what a style looks like. They are not photos of real clients. We use them to make styles easy to compare, and we are working on adding more real photos over time.

Keeping guides up to date

Trends and techniques change, so we review and update guides when advice changes or when readers point out something that could be clearer. Updated guides show a new date.

Advertising and affiliate links

Some pages may display advertising. If we publish sponsored content or use affiliate links, we will label them clearly. Recommendations in our guides are based on what we think will help readers, not on who pays.

Not medical advice

Our content is general grooming information. For hair loss, persistent scalp problems, skin irritation or allergic reactions to products, please see a doctor or dermatologist.

Corrections and feedback

If you think something in a guide is wrong, out of date or unclear, please tell us through our contact page. We read every message and correct genuine mistakes.
