Top 5 Hair Trends for Men in NYC This Year

New York City sets the pace for style, and men’s hair is no exception. From the boardrooms of Midtown East to the coffee shops of the East Village, men are embracing cuts that balance style, confidence, and practicality. At Classic Barbershop NYC, with seven locations across the city, our barbers stay ahead of the trends to make sure you always look current and sharp.


1. The Skin Fade with Textured Top

This year’s most in-demand look combines a clean, skin-close fade on the sides with a textured top for a modern yet versatile style. It works well for both casual and professional settings and gives a fresh, youthful vibe.


2. The Modern Pompadour

The pompadour remains a bold choice, but 2025 brings a more natural, less structured version. This style keeps the volume while adding movement, making it easier to maintain without losing its impact.


3. The French Crop

Low-maintenance yet fashion-forward, the French crop features a short fringe and textured layers. It is ideal for busy NYC professionals who want style without spending too much time in the mirror.


4. The Buzz Cut with a Twist

The buzz cut never goes out of style, but this year’s twist includes adding a fade or subtle design for a unique edge. Perfect for warmer months or men who prefer a minimal grooming routine.


5. The Slick Back

A timeless choice that continues to dominate in NYC’s professional scene. Paired with a low or mid fade, the slick back offers a sleek, polished look that transitions seamlessly from office to evening.
