A great haircut is only half the battle—styling is where the magic happens. At Premium Barbershop, we don’t just send you out the door with fresh cut; we teach you how to recreate the look daily. From blow-drying hacks to product mastery, these are the secrets we share with our clients.
Step 1: Start with the Right Foundation
Towel-Dry, Don’t Rub: Aggressive rubbing causes frizz. Pat hair gently until damp.
Heat Protection: Spray a lightweight thermal protectant before blow-drying (yes, even for men!).
Step 2: Master the Blow-Dryer
Pro Tools: A nozzle concentrator + medium heat setting.
Techniques for Your Style:
Volume & Lift: Flip hair forward and blast roots upward with a round brush.
Sleek & Smooth: Use a paddle brush, pulling hair straight down as you dry.
Texture: Scrunch hair with your fingers while drying for a messy, lived-in look.
Golden Rule: Finish with a cold shot to lock in shape.
Step 3: Apply Product Like a Barber
Match Product to Hair Type:
Fine Hair: Lightweight mousse or sea salt spray. Avoid heavy creams.
Thick/Curly Hair: Creams or butters to tame frizz and define texture.
All-Day Hold: Matte clay or fiber paste for structure without shine.
Application Tips:
Warm product between palms first.
Start at the back and work forward—front pieces need the least product.
Use a comb for precise distribution, not just fingers.
Step 4: Fix Common Styling Fails
Greasy Hair? Dust a bit of cornstarch or dry shampoo at the roots.
Frizz Attack? Smooth a tiny dab of beard balm over flyaways.
Over-Producted? Run a clean T-shirt over hair to absorb excess.
Step 5: Maintain Between Cuts
Refresh Day 2 Hair: Spritz water mixed with 2 drops of beard oil, then restyle.
Edge Control: Use a toothbrush + dab of pomade to tame baby hairs or beard lines.
Night Care: Sleep on a silk pillowcase to reduce friction and preserve your style.

FAQ: Styling Troubleshooting
Q: Why does my hair look flat by noon?
A: You’re overloading product. Use half the amount and focus on roots.
Q: Can I use hairspray without looking stiff?
A: Yes! Hold the can 12+ inches away and mist lightly—just to set, not shellac.
Q: How do I revive a faded haircut?
A: Use a dab of pomade to slick back overgrown sides or book a shape-up between full cuts.
