Recommended Hairstyles for Hair Salons for Clients with Balding

Hair salons welcome a variety of clients with different hair structures and densities. This means stylists must also be versatile with their cutting techniques. One specific example is dealing with clients who are experiencing balding and how best to cut their hair.

In this article, we’ll focus on men, where balding is quite common. We encounter clients with diverse preferences and needs, based on the progression of their hair loss and the areas where it appears.

For clients with advanced balding and continued hair loss who are confident and self-assured, a full head shave can be an ideal option. It’s important to examine the head shape to ensure there are no prominent bumps or indentations that might look less flattering on a shaved head. Additionally, a discussion before the shave helps ensure the client is ready to embrace the “hair-free” look. Globally, shaved heads are often viewed as a way to boost one’s image and attractiveness. This style also suits active sports enthusiasts. Vin Diesel is an example; it’s hard to imagine him with hair.

Some men experience balding primarily around the forehead, while the hair around the sides remains relatively thick. In these cases, it’s best to make the most of what remains. We can leave the top hair slightly longer and comb it forward. If it doesn’t stay in place on its own, we can use gel or other suitable products. This style requires little maintenance, which is appealing to men since it’s easy to manage.

The next approach is straightforward, involving the use of clippers to cut the hair to just a few centimeters. This allows the natural lines and shape of balding to show without highlighting the lack of hair density. This style is unobtrusive and doesn’t stand out as unusual. Maintenance is simple, and no special hair care products are necessary.

In the early stages of hair loss, cutting the hair evenly across the head can create the appearance of thicker hair. This classic haircut suits all ages and face shapes. It’s also effective for concealing hair thinning in less typical areas, like the frontal region.

For overall thinning hair, it’s also suitable to keep the hair longer on top (where thinning tends to be most noticeable) and lift it slightly with non-heavy products. This helps draw attention away from thinning areas while emphasizing volume and density. This style is best for a younger to middle-aged demographic who enjoy maintaining a trendy appearance.

For thinning around the crown, a “messy” style is ideal. Avoid straight cuts, adding a casual street style that requires confidence to pull off. Using gel, eliminate straight lines, push the hair towards the center, and effectively disguise thin areas.

When longer hair suits the individual’s face and style, and hair loss is limited to the frontal area, it’s best to let the top hair grow and comb it forward. Hair strength is important here, as stronger hair ensures a more complete look. This style is easy to maintain since the hair typically falls forward naturally; if not, products can help achieve this effect.

Another similar approach involves leaving the front hair longer where thinning occurs, though more suited to an older generation. This style is very popular and requires no special upkeep—just regular trims around the edges, while the top is left longer to cover thinning areas effectively.
