Cut & Finish for Men – Classic Precision and Polished Style

Men with wavy, thick, or textured hair
Anyone wanting a polished, styled finish
Men exploring a style change or needing expert advice
Popular styles include:
Side part with texture

Curly top with shape on the sides
This service is ideal if you want to maintain a refined look and receive personal advice on styling and aftercare.
Clipper Cuts – Clean, Defined & Low Maintenance
Clipper cuts are ideal for men who like structure, simplicity, and sharpness. Our stylists use professional-grade clippers to create uniform cuts, fades, and tapers with precision. You can go full clipper for an even finish or combine clippers with scissor work for a more tailored look.
Clipper Cut Types:
Buzz Cut: One-length all over (e.g., a number 2 or 3) – classic, clean, and easy to maintain.
High and Tight: Short sides (often a 0–1) with a slightly longer top – great for a military or sporty look.
Fade Cut: Gradual blending from short to long – can be high, mid, or low fade.
Taper Cut: Subtle shortening at the neckline and sideburns for a soft, professional finish.
Crew Cut with Fade: A neat, textured top with skin-fade or tapered sides.
Clipper cuts are perfect for busy lifestyles, offering style without daily effort.
Dry Cuts – Sharp Refresh in Minutes
For those in a hurry or looking for a tidy-up between appointments, a dry cut is a fast and effective option. No wash is needed—your stylist will shape and neaten your existing haircut, perfect for maintaining your look without the full cut & finish experience.
Ideal for:
Regular maintenance trims
Clients who wash hair at home before their appointment
Men who need a fast, efficient service
Children and teenagers
Dry Cut Options:
Side & fringe tidy-up
Top-length reshaping
Neckline and around the ears cleaned up
Dry cuts are a quick way to stay sharp, especially in between full haircuts.
Skin Fades & Tapers – Modern Precision for Every Style
Skin fades and taper fades are among the most requested cuts by fashion-forward gents. These styles involve precise clipper blending techniques that fade hair from the skin (or very short length) up into longer sections for a seamless, stylish gradient.
Types of Fades:
Skin Fade: Starts at the skin and blends up into longer lengths.
Low Fade: Begins just above the ears – subtle and refined.
Mid Fade: Starts at the temples – a balanced, versatile look.
High Fade: Begins high on the sides – bold and defined.
Drop Fade: Curves around the ear and drops lower at the back for a contoured finish.
Taper Fade: Focuses on the neckline and sideburns – ideal for professionals.
Skin fades are all about sharp contrast, making them popular for both modern and classic looks.
Popular Short Hairstyles for Men – Easy to Maintain, Always in Style
Short doesn’t mean boring. At Novum, we create short hairstyles for men that are tailored, textured, and totally wearable. These styles suit a variety of face shapes and are easy to manage between visits.
Top Short Styles We Offer:
Textured Crop: A choppy, matte finish with natural texture—great for fine or thick hair.
French Crop: Short back and sides with a fringe—low effort, high style.
Ivy League: A longer crew cut with side part—polished yet relaxed.
Buzz Cut with Line-Up: All-over clipper cut with razor-sharp outlines.
Spiky Top: A little volume and texture on top—easy to style with a matte clay.
Short Back & Sides with Scissor Cut Top: Great for men who want a more natural finish on top but sharp definition on the sides.
