Men’s Haircuts – Quiffs, Pompadours and Flat Tops Course

The quiff is a men’s classic cut. From James Dean and Elvis to Justin Beiber and David Beckham, the quiff has been making us go weak at the knees for over 60 years. Learn the basics and then let your imagination go wild as the variations are only limited by what your client wants and what you can create. MHDPro.com’s Quiff It online hairdressing course teaches five classic men’s haircuts that will build your list and have your clients coming back for more.

Justin Bieber

Love him or loathe him – the boy Bieber’s hair is always a talking point. We like that he changes his look on a regular basis, encouraging young men everywhere to experiment with their hair – which is always good for the salon – and he’s been a key influencer of men’s haircuts. Short tapered sides with a long top and fringe is tipped to be THE look for men for 2017 so let Dale Ted Watkins take you through the key techniques you need to master this haircut.

Zayne Malik’s Flat Graduated Haircut

Zayn Malik’s haircut

Another young hair chameleon who isn’t afraid to play with style is Zayne Malik. We saw him dye his hair bright pink for Valentine’s Day last year, leaving the colour to fade to a cool pastel to compliment his then long quiff. Here again he uses colour to enhance his flat graduated haircut with parting. Sarah Astley’s tutorial focuses on a classic clean Hollywood idol hairstyle, which once mastered can then be adapted for different clients and trends. Sarah is a true master of men’s haircuts and MHDPro is the only online resource to learn her techniques.

The modern day god of style, David Beckham has never been afraid to experiment with different styles and has been one of the most important influencers for men’s grooming and fashion for the last 20 years. Dale Ted Watkins demonstrates how to create this classic shape incorporating the rudiments of male grooming and methodical technique, relying heavily on traditional barbering techniques. This is a great versatile men’s haircut allowing the client to style in different ways.

Will Smith

He may have tapered it over each series but we still love the original Will Smith, Fresh Prince of Bel Air’s high flat top – an iconic style which is is timeless and perfect for any hair type. This cut requires a high level of skill and Dale Ted Watkins again teaches how to craft the perfect flat top – of any height – using cutting and clipper over comb techniques.
