Barber guides

Short, clear guides for future barbers and anyone looking for the right cut.

How to become a barber

The short answer: good hands-on training, lots of repetition and salon experience. Here is the path for someone starting from zero.

How long is barber training?

Men’s barber training at Muharrem Bilen Academy takes 3 months. In that time a complete beginner reaches the level of performing core men’s cuts in a salon.

What is a fade haircut?

A fade is a men’s haircut where the hair on the back and sides goes from very short to gradually longer, with a smooth gradient instead of a hard line.

Men’s haircuts for your face shape

The right haircut balances your face: it makes a round face look longer, a long face more balanced and an angular face softer. Find your face shape first, then pick a cut from the table below.

Beard styles for your face shape

The right beard balances the features of your face. The rule is simple: length at the chin to lengthen the face, fullness on the cheeks to widen it.

How often should men get a haircut?

The short answer: short cuts and fades every 2–3 weeks, medium length every 4–6 weeks, long hair every 6–10 weeks. The right interval depends on your cut, how fast your hair grows and how sharp you want to look.
