2024 is all about bold, versatile styles that balance modern edge with timeless appeal. At Premium Barber Shop, we’re seeing men embrace everything from textured crops to sleek fades. Whether you’re a trendsetter or prefer a classic look, this guide breaks down the top 10 haircuts dominating New York this year—and why our barbers are the experts at bringing them to life.
1. Textured Crop with Tapered Sides
Why It’s Trending: Perfect for active lifestyle, this low-maintenance cut offers volume on top and sharp, tapered sides. Ideal for thick hair, it works for both casual and professional settings.
How We Nail It: Our barbers use point-cutting techniques to create natural texture, ensuring a seamless blend from crown to sides.
2. Curtain Fringe Revival
Why It’s Trending: Inspired by retro vibes, the curtain fringe (think 90s heartthrobs) is back. Soft, face-framing layers add a relaxed, youthful look.
How We Nail It: We tailor the length and part placement to complement your face shape—no two curtain fringes are alike!
3. Modern Mullet
Why It’s Trending: The mullet has shed its wild reputation. In 2024, men are opting for a polished version: short on top, longer in the back with subtle texture.
How We Nail It: Our barbers balance volume and structure, keeping it office-friendly while still edgy.
4. Bald Fade with Line Designs
Why It’s Trending: A bold statement for confident men. The bald fade paired with geometric lines or swirls adds a personalized touch.
How We Nail It: Precision is key. Our team uses straight razors and steady hands to craft clean, intricate designs.
5. French Crop with Hard Part
Why It’s Trending: Sleek, sharp, and effortlessly cool. The French crop’s blunt fringe and hard part scream sophistication.
How We Nail It: We focus on crisp lines and even blending, ensuring your hard part stays defined between visits.
6. Scissor-Over-Comb Texture
Why It’s Trending: For men craving a natural, “lived-in” look, this technique adds movement without harsh lines.
How We Nail It: Our barbers hand-cut layers to match your hair’s natural flow, perfect for humid summers.

Why It’s Trending: Timeless meets modern. The slick back undercut pairs short sides with longer, polished top layers.
How We Nail It: We recommend premium pomades from our in-shop collection to hold the style all day.
