A great haircut starts before the barber picks up the clippers. Men can make the appointment harder by arriving with greasy hair, changing their minds halfway through the consultation, or trying a last-minute styling experiment. These small decisions can complicate the cut and make the finished style harder to manage at home.
The goal isn’t to arrive looking like a shampoo commercial. It’s to give the barber a clear view of your hair, enough information to understand your preferences, and a reasonable chance of delivering the look you want. Avoid these seven pre-haircut mistakes, and your next trip to the chair should go more smoothly.
