You should get a haircut every 6 weeks. Even if your hair grows slow, you may be suddenly faced with a disaster on your head at an inopportune time if you skip a visit to the barber.

You may know human hair goes through a dormant phase. This happens after a strand of hair falls away from the scalp and before it begins growing again. At any one time, about how much of the hair on the human body is dormant? If you guessed 10 to 20 percent, you're right.

Sorry, boys – it’s a myth that shaving your facial hair will make it grow back thicker. Shaving has no effect, and your beard will grow back the same as it was.

“Ivy League” haircuts are a very clean-cut style. Generally, the hair is cut very short all over, with a little more length left in front that can be parted and combed neatly.

To avoid the “Look who got a haircut” comments we recommend visiting us every three to four weeks. This way, less hair has to be removed so your hair maintains a consistent look.

The first time you visit with us, it is not too different from a job interview. We strive to do our best to impress you with our product (the haircut) so that you not only leave happy, but that you will keep coming back.

Want to make yourself feel a bit better? If you aren’t feeling that you look your best, start with a new haircut. There are few things so simple that can do so much for our outlooks on life. And a great barber can be the person to give you just that boost.

Your hair may seem pretty durable, but each hair on your body has a limited lifespan, after which the follicle rests and then produces a new hair. Care to guess how long a typical hair lasts before it falls out naturally? If you guessed five years or so, you're right.

So what exactly is a whitewall? This is a faded or tapered haircut where the sides and back are cut very short. In fact, the term “whitewall” was inspired by the very white skin that’s exposed with this cut.
