French Crop Haircuts in Abingdon

If you are looking for a change of haircut or hair style, for men it can sometimes feel overwhelming trying to understand hairdressing terminology or for fear of asking for a French Crop and being made to feel like you have asked for the wrong thing! By choosing a salon for your next haircut whether a French Crop or something else, your Stylist will be able to identify areas where you can benefit or help you to understand which type of haircuts can benefit your face shape, facial features and lifestyle. With so many different trends and hairdressing terms thrown around it’s easy to see why certain haircuts and styles can feel confusing! However the French Crop albeit with some modernising is a classic cut recognised for its smart finish and stylish look.

In our daily blog our Stylists walk you through what is a French Crop, what you should ask for and how to style it.

If you are considering something different, our gents haircutting service page can help. Finally, if you’re new to the salon and not sure how to get the most value from your next appointment, need a consultation or would value a conversation before booking, call or send a WhatsApp message on 01235 534705

French Crop Haircut FAQ's

What is a French Crop haircut?

A French Crop haircut is a men’s haircut that is considered smart, stylish and suitability for a variety of face shapes and hair types from straight, wavy to curly! If you are looking for a haircut that is sharp, tidy and relaxed/textured on top, the French Crop is a popular choice that encompasses new and old school in one.

The French Crop can be distinguished by its short back and sides with a slightly longer length on top. The top can tailored to suit different hair lengths with a longer length offering a more edgy finish and a shorter length on top representing a sharper, cleaner and smarter look overall. It’s the sort of haircut that balances classic cutting with modern style, that almost any hair type can pull off. For inspiration when undertaking a Google, try Timtothee Chalomet, George Clooney and Michael Fassbender.

How should I ask for a French Crop haircut?

If you’re considering a French Crop the most effective communication to use at your next hair appointment is by way of finding a picture that you like. This is helpful for your Stylist and a picture can help identify what you like, don’t like and how appropriate your style is to your hair type, texture and lifestyle to name but a few. Your Stylist won’t be expecting you to have a grasp of hairdressing terminology and your best effort to describe in plain English what sort of style you like would be considered a great help. Whilst this can feel awkward, most experienced Stylists appreciate the effort and they will thrive when you consider something new or different and this is where they can add the most value. In our experience the easiest and most effective way to communicate your desired style is to simply ask for a ‘French Crop’ by name and this will offer a sufficient starting point for discussion.

There are other areas to consider also and your Stylist will be able to support you and if necessary point you in the right direction. With any haircut (French Crop included) if you want to personalise your cut the top, back and sides can be tweaked to tailored the cut and style to your choosing for something much more unique. In this instance if you have a picture that you like but feel that you might (for example) struggle with the length of the sides, voice this to your Stylist and that will allow for more constructive dialogue.

Here’s more information to help you when your Stylist asks you what you would like.

Is a French Crop haircut popular?

It’s arguably one of the most popular haircuts going and it’s easy to see why. It’s popular with men across most age groups, it’s modern, professional and relatively easy to maintain and style. It’s one of the haircuts that doesn’t need a huge amount of maintenance and in most cases a haircut that will remain timeless. The appeal typically lies in its clean and professional slightly longer long albeit still on the shorter side of men’s haircuts..

How should I style a French Crop haircut?

Whilst many mens haircutting styles emphasis quite structured styling, the French Crop you can’t really get wrong and the styling can be as simple as working a small amount of product through your hair and working it with your hands for a structure, textured or messy style.

Matte clay  is a popular choice of product as is a styling powder or even a wax all of which are effective for definition and shape (exactly what works with a French Crop). Equally for a more natural look, using your hands to create something more natural and leaving your hair product-free can too prove to be effective.

The back and sides are largely shorter and will by default not require any maintenance beyond occasional haircutting appointments so you won’t need to worry about styling these areas. This too make the French Crop appealing as you can style the top alone with minimal fuss in little to no time.

Conclusion

The French Crop is the classic haircut that when pulled off is able to strike the perfect balance between looking great whilst also representing a timeless look that has a professional appeal. It’s for this reason the French Crop is one of the undisputed and leading men’s haircutting options. If you are considering a French Crop, speak to your Stylist and they will be able to advise you on a new look, what could work, maintenance, how to style and everything in-between.

If you are feeling lost in what could work best for you, leave it to us. Our consultations work through any question you might have, logistics and we too make recommendations based upon your lifestyle and hair type.
