If you’re certain you want a fresh, cool cut for your next barber visit—something that isn’t too short or too long, fitting comfortably in the “short sides, long top” category—then I’ve got some ideas for you!
These styles let you keep your hair looking sharp while staying light on the neck. Total win-win!
1. Undercut With Side-Swept Bangs
The undercut can seem a bit bold since it maintains a strong silhouette, and only the daring tend to go for it, especially because it requires trimming some length to preserve that shape.
But what if I told you there’s a way to make it the cut of your dreams by adding a chic touch with side-swept bangs? Now, you get both length and style. Wow!
2. Spiky Short Sides Long Top Cut
If you want to spike an edge alarm in everyone’s heads when they look at you, make sure your haircut takes the lead! With this spiky long-top, short-sides cut, you’ll keep winning the hair game, ladies and looks alike. The power of a good haircut, right there!
3. Pompadour Look
Elvis Presley, is that you? No? Ah, too bad—I was in the mood for some classic vibes! Now, you may not be the King of Rock, but you’re definitely the king of great haircuts with this one! With that timeless, retro vibe, you’ve got a perfect blend: volume up top, sleek on the sides.
4. High-Fade Cut

5. Fade With A Textured Quiff
If you want your volume to speak for itself and a little poof effect on top, the quiff is your move! Make your own little wave in the sea of cuts with this unique one, featuring a fresh fade.
6. Disconnected Undercut
If you want to add bold points to your undercut, make the top longer and the sides shorter! This gives you the freedom to play around and choose the perfect hairstyle that matches your vibe for the day.
7. Blowout Taper Cut
Combine the best of both hair worlds with the wonders of a taper cut and the magic of added volume from a blowout! Make your style one of a kind and say goodbye to flat, lifeless hair with this game-changing look.

9. Classic Undercut
If you’re all about versatility and want a cut that can easily switch between bold and soft vibes, the classic undercut is your go-to! With longer hair on top and shorter sides, just add a bit of gel or mousse, and you’ll be able to style your locks however you like!
10. Mid Taper Fade
The only “mid” thing about this cut is the mid fade! Everything else stays on top, from its ability to flatter various face shapes to highlighting your unique features, all while giving you that fresh, sharp silhouette.
