When our male clients opt to have a neat, stylish haircut at First & Mane, we usually advise them to try the taper haircut. Taper is basically trimming the hair from long on top to shorter towards the side and back area, which merges smoothly into skin or very short length.
For those looking for a modern twist, the taper fade hairstyle for men is especially popular. The taper hairstyle is amazing since it can be styled in a number of ways depending on what the client prefers. Our clients like to wear this type of hairstyle since it suits all face shapes.
Popular Taper Haircut Styles
Taper hairstyle does not have one definite method. Based on the individual choice and the hair structure, this kind of haircut will be personalized accordingly. Many clients come in requesting a classic taper haircut, appreciating its versatility and timeless appeal.
Conservative Look
For those guys who wish to maintain their neat looks in the workplace but still like to keep some hairstyle at weekends, a low taper hairstyle would be recommended. In this case, the shortening of the hair takes place right above the ears and near the nape of the neck where there is plenty of volume.
In our experience, this kind of taper suits most men who have a neat perimeter but don’t want to trim much length on the sides. This tapered style is highly popular among our customers, especially those interested in the men’s classic taper haircut.
Sophisticated Look
For clients who want to emphasize their hairstyles with more flair, it is recommended to opt for the high taper hairstyle. This type of taper has an effect of drawing the eyes upwards and makes the hair on top fuller. This is an excellent idea, especially for those guys whose hair is rather thick and curly.
For anyone seeking a timeless look, the classic taper haircut men often choose offers the perfect blend of style and ease. This style helps to reduce volume and weight of the side hair.
How to Maintain and Style a Tapered Hairstyle
Having received your favorite taper hairstyle, make sure to follow these useful instructions in order to preserve its neatness. If you’re looking for a refined yet easy-to-manage option, the classic taper men’s haircut is always a great choice.
Choosing Suitable Products
It totally depends on the desired result how you will style your tapered hair. To get the perfect look, just apply a dime size portion of water-based pomade to damp hair if you desire the smooth finish. Matte clay/styling paste should be applied only to completely dry hair. Apply this product evenly in order to provide an even hold during the whole day.
Maintaining Your Edges
As mentioned above, the taper haircut is made by shortening the sides, thus the new growth of hair appears very soon. For those seeking a more refined look, the classic taper with side part can add an extra touch of sophistication. It is necessary to keep your hairstyle neat and fresh, so try to visit the barbershop once in 3 or 4 weeks in order to keep it well-maintained and tidy.

Fashion changes over time, but there are several elements which never fade away. One of them is a perfect taper hairstyle which creates a man’s silhouette and requires only minimum effort for maintenance every morning. At First & Mane, we feel proud of being able to offer personalized styles and cuts to our clients based on their lifestyles, head types and hair structure.
