Hair stylists work with a variety of clients, including both women and men. Many hair stylists find that women feel more comfortable than men do while inside of a salon. It is important to make sure all of your clients feel comfortable inside your hair salon, which is why you should take a few specific steps when working with your male clients. These tips can help you help your male clients:
Create a male-friendly environment
Your salon should be clean, organized, stylish, and inviting. Many salons have a more feminine décor style, which is great for female clients, but can feel unwelcoming to male clients. Be sure that your salon has a stylish and gender-neutral environment. If you want to have magazines or other items available for female clients, make sure that you have the same types of items for male clients, as well.
Study classic men’s hairstyles
Trends come and go, but certain hairstyles are timeless. You can make your male clients feel more comfortable in your salon if you offer them one of these classic hairstyles that they know and love. Practice your short-hair cutting techniques to provide the very best cuts for each client. Make sure that you have clean shears, clippers, combs, and other cutting and styling tools that will help you create these styles.
Stay up-to-date on trendy hairstyles
Some of your male clients may be adventurous and interested in trendy hairstyles. Doing research on the latest trends will allow you to stay in-the-know on the newest styles, making it easy to give every client the exact style he wants.
Suggest styling products after the appointment
Help your male clients feel more comfortable by teaching them about products that will allow them to maintain their new cut or style. Keep plenty of men’s hair care products available and offer suggestions to each client after the appointment.

The hair stylists at Supercuts of ME, NH, and MA constantly learn about the latest hairstyle trends for men, women, and children. If you become part of our hair stylist team, you will always have the knowledge to give your clients the look they want every time! This training can also help you learn how to speak to your clients about the factors that go into choosing a new hairstyle, including:
Face Shape
A hairstyle is an accessory like jewelry or shoes, but unlike those other pieces, hair is worn at all times. You can give your clients the best styles by choosing cuts that will flatter their face shapes. The right haircut will minimize facial elements that your client may not like while highlighting those they find most attractive.
Lifestyle
The right hairstyle won’t just complement a client’s face shape—it will also complement his or her lifestyle. Asking your client questions at the start of the appointment will allow you to learn about hobbies and interests. This is important for providing a hairstyle that will work with your client’s everyday routine. A short and easy-to-maintain hairstyle will work better for someone with an active lifestyle. Clients who are less active will have more freedom with hairstyle options.
Texture of hair
Different hairstyles work better for different hair textures. Styles that look great with straight hair may not look the same with curly hair. Talk to your client about his or her hair texture and what styles generally work best. Choose a style that will flatter the face while also showing off the best features of your client’s hair texture.
Personal style
It is also important to talk to your clients about their usual hair care routine. Some clients are willing to spend lots of time styling their hair, while others want a style that lets them get up and go. Determine what style will work best for each client’s personal hair care routine.
