HARVEY SPECTER – Gabriel Macht Suits Haircut

Suits you, sir! When he’s not busy laying down the law, Harvey is a charming, persuasive, playful, and confident guy which makes him a hit with both the clientele and the ladies. Read on for expert advice from our London barbers on how to achieve the Harvey Specter Hairstyle.

Our favourite quote from Harvey is: “When I got here, I dominated. They thought I worked 100 hours a day. Now, no matter what time I get in, nobody questions my ability to get the job done.”

Really makes you think, doesn’t it? Despite the fact that he is a fictional character, Harvey is that gentleman we’re all striving to be. Maybe not exact replica, but it’s fair to say there are attributes and elements of his character which are envy-inducing. One of the things the fairer sex love about Mr Specter is his appearance and his hair is no small part of that – it’s so prominent that it even has its own Facebook page!

What should you ask your barber for?

It’s all about the pompadour look. To get this hairstyle (or any of the best, medium length haircuts for men) you will first need to enough length on top to create some height. Ask your barber to take your sides and back down to a short length, preferably using scissors. If you opt for clippers, don’t go shorter than a grade 4. Remember, you will need to create a hard parting, so the length on top needs to stand out against the sides. It’s the wonderful, juxtaposed lengths that look fantastic when executed expertly. If in doubt, don’t hesitate to show your barber a photo of the style.

How should you style the Harvey Specter haircut?

Once the cut is perfect, next comes the actual look. To get the shine and strong hold, you’ll need a pomade. Our luxury pomade is designed mainly for thicker hair but it is great for getting that slick Specter look with an impressive side parting to match. When you get home with your new Harvey Specter hairstyle, maintain it with a few simple steps. After showering and shampooing in lukewarm water, dry the hair gently with a towel. Warm up the pomade in your hand and run it through your hair from the roots, lifting upwards.  When drying, comb gently in an upward direction for volume and then manoeuvre it to help define the side parting. What do you mean that didn’t sound simple? Of course, anything sounds complex until you’ve done it once and then it’s practically primal instinct.

To keep your haircut looking super groomed, try one of our styling products specifically formulated for all your hair needs, from light styling creams to pompadour pastes for the slick 50’s look. A little goes a long way so use these products sparingly.

Harvey might be clean-shaven but you might like to carry a stubble or a beard to accompany your new look so don’t forget we are THE beard specialists in London. Don’t bother looking anywhere else for your beard grooming in the city of London – get your head right and head over to Pall Mall Barbers.

TOMMY SHELBY – Cillian Murphy Peaky Blinders Haircut

One of the cuts we’re asked for a lot is the iconic look of Cillian Murphy’s haircut as Tommy Shelby in Peaky Blinders. It’s understandably a popular look, but not for everyone!

Ever feel like you missed your calling as the fearsome leader of an organized crime gang? Have you recently found yourself staring longingly at herringbone waistcoats and penny collar shirts? Loitering with the intent on canal boats and forming strange alliances with local communists? Job openings for 1920s criminal overlords may be thin on LinkedIn these days, but you can still look like an extra on the set of Peaky Blinders – from the neck up, anyway.

What should you ask your barber for?

As far as short hair for men goes, it’s not too difficult to get Cillian Murphy’s haircut from Peaky Blinders. Ask your barber for a #1 back and sides, but keep the length at the front.

Here’s a great tip from Dan at our Kings Cross barbershop: ‘If you have a light hair tone, a short cut like Tommy Shelby’s on the back and sides is going to look transparent and as if there is “no hair” – we can make the grade higher and keep the hair a little longer to achieve the same effect on blonde guys or redheads’.

How should you style the Tommy Shelby haircut?

You’ll need a good couple of inches to work with and some sea salt spray to get the right texture at home. As with fixing horse races and smuggling guns, this style demands regular attention if you want it done properly, so make sure you can come back every three weeks for a tidy-up. And don’t forget the Newsboy cap – just leave out the razorblades.

DAVID BUDD – Richard Madden The Bodyguard Hairstyle

From Glasgow to the Golden Globes, Richard Madden’s journey as a gifted actor and producer has been a heroic one both on and off the screen. Whether he’s playing the Young Wolf on Game of Thrones or Prince Kit in Cinderella, Richard’s performances are always critically acclaimed and much loved by audiences. There is no better example of his talent than in his portrayal of Sergeant David Budd, an Afghanistan war veteran in the hit BBC series, Bodyguard. Bodyguard is the most successful BBC drama of the modern multi-channel era, with over 17 million viewers watching the finale of the first series. If you’re a fan of Richard’s acting, you’re likely to be an admirer of his hairstyle and if that’s the case then you may well be interested in discovering how to imitate it. After you’ve read the ‘how to’ guide below, head over to one of our London barbershops and make it happen!

What should you ask your barber for?

The hairstyle itself isn’t overly flamboyant, it’s not a big song and dance of a hairdo but it does carry simplicity and cleanliness which definitely makes it one of the best haircuts for men. It’s a short back and sides with a short quiff at the front – a look that requires minimal maintenance while still presenting you as an ardent professional. The overall look you have depends primarily on how short you want the sides but generally speaking, to pull off the Madden, you need to have a 3 or a 4 on the back and sides tapered down to a 2. The top of his head has a lovely textured look to it which can be achieved by avoiding any thinning scissor work. This look is particularly conducive if you have naturally curly hair.

How should you style the Richard Madden haircut?

When it comes to styling, you should blow-dry the front, back, and the rest to the side after shampooing. You’ll be well-advised to use our amazing texture enhancing product by spreading it evenly through the hair and using a quality wide-tooth comb to style it into a quiff at the front. It’s important you use a dry-like product to achieve this look. Anything wet (like a gel) won’t give you the matte finish. Browse our selection of quality men’s shaving products, luxury shaving brushes, shaving creams, beard oils, and find something to suit your look or shaving style.

How often do I need to get it cut?

You should head over to your favourite barbers every three weeks in order to maintain this look and keep the back and sides looking sharp. Depending on how fast your hair grows, you would need to gauge when you should have that cut or just ask your barber. The rule of thumb, however, is to have the top cut every five to six weeks.

What about the beard?

Madden keeps his beard clean-shaven in The Bodyguard but this look could work just as well with some light stubble. If you’re not sure, ask your barber. In addition to men’s haircuts, we also offer the best beard grooming service in London!

The Richard Madden Bodyguard haircut is for you if…

Having naturally curly hair is a real bonus but isn’t essential. You simply have to be in the market for a clean, low-maintenance haircut that looks great. This style is perfect for those gents who like to have their sides short but not as extreme as a skin fade (for example). If you are unsure and need some advice, don’t forget that our barbers in London are the perfect people to ask.

One thing we often find is that men like to stick to what they know – whether that’s the hairstyle they’ve sported for years or the products they’ve been using. Have a chat with your barber next time you’re in and you’ll be surprised to learn that you could get a better result or finish your hair with something other than the hairstyling product you’ve relied on for so long.

Our range of hair styling products for men has been developed over many years using the finest ingredients – ones that really work, and also smell great. And we’ve tried and tested them with the people that matter – our customers, to make sure that they definitely do what they say on the tin.
