  • Business Insider asked hairstylists about the popular trends their male clients are loving.
  • Younger men are all about the modern mullet and broccoli cuts.
  • For a more polished look, clients are loving faded sides with a textured, messy top.

The change of season is a great time to freshen up your look, whether you’re in the market for a new outfit or a new hairstyle.

That’s why Business Insider asked hairstylists and barbers which trendy haircuts and styles their male clients are asking for the most. Here’s what they said.

The modern mullet is in.

Francis Catanese, a senior stylist at Julien Farel Salon and Spa in New York City, said his clients are into the modern mullet, which has clean, faded sides and a longer, textured back.

“Men love the modern mullet because it combines retro flair with a bold, updated twist that stands out without feeling over-the-top,” Catanese told BI.

The modern mullet offers a rebellious yet stylish look that’s surprisingly versatile.

Younger clients love the “broccoli cut.”

Samantha Lawrence, owner of Chromatique Salon in Washington, told BI that Gen Z clients favor the “broccoli cut,” which features a curly or heavily textured, rounded top with a tight taper or fade on the sides.

“This cut is playful, fashion-driven, and makes a strong statement without requiring a lot of daily styling. The contrast between structure and texture gives it wide appeal,” she said.

For a more polished look, men are loving faded sides with a textured, messy top.

According to Lawrence, her clients are loving “tightly faded sides that lead into a tousled, dimensional top.” She said this cut can be styled to feel effortless and undone, and is versatile enough to work across different hair types and textures.

Lawrence told BI it’s popular among professionals who want a low-maintenance style that “feels current and cool.”

Men looking for an effortless look are opting for soft layers with natural texture.

Gabby Fishman, a hairstylist at Arté Salon in New York City, told BI her clients have been liking the soft layered look.

“Clients love this look because it feels masculine without being overly styled, and it grows in really well with little maintenance between appointments,” Fishman said.

She said the style works well with naturally textured hair types, especially wavy hair.

Clients love the burst fade for its flexibility.

Elvis Amezquita, a barber manager at Famous Fadez in Illinois, told BI that men who love a style with some flexibility are opting for the burst fade —  a short or bald cut near the ear that fades into longer hair toward the top and back.

“The burst fade is flexible with many hair textures and is normally less maintenance compared to longer hairstyles,” Amezquita said.

The slick back is the perfect combination of classic and modern.

According to Amezquita, another popular style combines a tapered back and sides with a slicked-back top to achieve a smooth appearance.

This cut offers a stylish and clean look, especially around the ears, neck, and forehead.

“The slick back offers a smooth, controlled top, while the taper keeps the sides clean, giving a sharp, professional, and stylish appearance,” Amezquita told BI.
