For the Men: Color and Cut Trends for 2018

While it’s no secret many women color their hair, it may come
as some surprise than more and more men are. Some guys color
to feel and look younger, or to stay competitive in a younger workplace.
And there are those who haven’t yet reached the age where they need
to cover gray, but just want to lighten up their color with highlights
or maybe go for a slightly different shade. 

Either way, the trend is swinging to more men at the salon and
East Main has you covered. Come in for a highlight or turn
back time by darkening those grays. Our stylists are more than
happy to work with you to get the look you’re going for. 

Men’s Hair Trends for 2018
Now that spring is here, we’re seeing a rise of less conventional,
longer cuts than in previous years which favored a more chiseled,
“overly-worked” cut—good news for those who like to spend less
time styling up top. Think more tossled, cool and laid back. 
With that in mind, here’ a look at some of the cuts we’ll see in 2018. 

Long Top, Short Sides
This style is very manageable, both at the office and working out
at the gym. The longer, textured top pairs well with the short sides
and works with or without facial hair. For a sleek twist, this look
can be side parted, with bangs combed back with hair gel.

The Long Sweep
For men growing out their hair, or for those who already sport it shoulder
length, the sweep is a great option. Creams, pomades and gels go a long
way in keeping this look real, giving the hair a smooth, shiny sleekness.

GI Crew
Though edgier than the two cuts above, this look requires less styling.
The sides and back are clipped close and the top is left long and
often scissor-cut at the top for more texture. The GI crew works
for both straight or wavy hair.
