The Mod Generation

The Society of Cool!

Haircuts

A few of the regulars on here have cool haircuts, just wondering what you fellows ask for when at the hairdressers and who uses hairdressers and who uses barbers? 

I've been using a traditional barbers recently and trying to explain to them what I want done is difficult, i think they are so used to people being not that fussy, being not that fussy does not really work being a mod, is there specific type of hair styles you guys ask for?

I'm considering bringing photos down next time to the place as my hair always ends up looking the same!

Andrew H and Marty McA's hair is something like the style that I would like, like early Paul Weller.

Well at my age and with my lack of hair I no longer aspire to a hairstyle, but I do get it cut at what is probably the most expensive salon in town, Roughly speaking thinned out so it's evenly thick and about 1 inch long - short in the back and no side burns,

When we first "created" the mod cut we asked our barbers to cut our hair like these three gents:

I have wanted that Weller look for ages. My hair was doing my head in as i was getting more and more into the mod clothes. I looked at some of Liam Gallagher's mod styles and found a picture that was like a longer version of the early Weller cut. 

Went out at the weekend _ Harrington, Fred Perry, jeans and winkle pickers and two people told me I looked Mod. Job done, I think!


So, don't be scared. Just show the person cutting your hair a picture. I had so much trouble trying to explain it to the person cutting mine!

Well, I just take in the diagram from the Barnes' book --LOL!

In all seriousness, I prefer to keep my hair a bit longer --I've always had a rounder, fuller face, and find it more flattering than the French crops and Ivy League cuts more popular with The Scene.  That's really the trick to having "cool hair", knowing what looks best on you.
