The beauty of an undercut is that it can in some ways be applied to most styles in some way and with some creative thinking! These are some options that you may want to consider.

Side Undercut: The side undercut literally means shaving the side of your hair and leaving the other! This is arguably is the secondary introductory undercut above a nape undercut and the most popular before adding different element. So if you want to make a statement this is a good initial option without going too extreme. As a tip, you can part your hair to one side to showcase the shaved area or let your longer hair fall naturally to cover it when you want a more conservative look.

Nape Undercut: The nape undercut is a more subtle version, where the hair at the neck is shaved or cut short. This style is often hidden under longer hair and can be seen when you wear your hair up in a ponytail. It’s a great option for those who want the edge of an undercut but need a more discreet style for work or other formal settings.

Undercut with Design: Think of your undercut as a blank canvas! The canvas is used to create your own design. More commonly people opt for geometric designs or similar. This does require a lot of upkeep, but they do look amazing. This is something that very few, if any clients go for but if you want to further express your creativity in a different way. It’s worth noting that Hair Stylists within a salon will be adept are creating an undercut however if you want a design within the undercut this is a highly specialised skill set. Some barbers may be able to achieve the design (rather than the cut) however the particular skill set is highly individual and not something universally recognised. Treat this as a case-by-case basis. So think salon for haircut/barber for design work.

Disconnected Undercut: The disconnected undercut features a stark contrast between the shaved part and the longer hair, with no gradual fade between the two. This style is particularly bold and works well for those looking to make a big statement.

Undercut Bob: For those who love a classic bob but want to add a modern twist, the undercut bob is an excellent choice. The undercut at the back or sides gives the bob a fresh, edgy look while maintaining its chic, timeless appeal.
