Men’s grooming is entering an exciting new chapter this fall, where precision meets personal expression, and hair texture is embraced rather than tamed. Whether your hair is smooth, wavy, curly, or chemically processed, the latest techniques and styles are designed to work with your natural look, not against it.
At Charles Ifergan, we specialize in creating styles that suit your individual hair type, lifestyle, and preferences, using a mix of advanced wet cutting, dry cutting, expert blowouts, and finishing touches to deliver a look that feels fresh, modern, and completely yours. Check out what’s trending for men’s hair as we head into fall 2025 from Chicago’s best hair salon.
Wet cutting has always been the gold standard for clean, sharp lines and strong shape definition—and it’s making a comeback in men’s hair fashion this season. Perfect for smooth, straight, or slightly wavy hair, wet cutting allows your stylist to control every detail of the cut, ensuring symmetry and a refined finish.
Wet cutting works beautifully for chemically processed hair, too, ensuring the shape complements the hair’s altered texture without looking overworked.
Clean fades at the neckline and temples paired with longer lengths on top for styling versatility.
A nod to classic gentleman’s grooming, updated with a low fade for a contemporary edge
Perfect for men with medium to long hair who want movement without losing a polished feel.
Dry cutting is where artistry meets intuition. By cutting hair in its natural, dry state, we can see exactly how it falls, curls, or waves, allowing us to create a style that works effortlessly every day. This is especially important for men with curls, coils, or waves, as well as anyone who prefers a lived-in, natural vibe.
Dry cutting also helps reduce bulk without sacrificing length, making it a go-to for men with thick or unruly hair.

Across all cutting and styling techniques, here’s what’s defining men’s hair this fall
Yes, the shag is back—but with more polish. Layers are strategically placed to enhance movement while maintaining a controlled silhouette. This works with both straight and curly textures, offering a retro-meets-modern vibe.
Instead of ultra-sharp fades, we’re seeing softer transitions between lengths for a more natural look. Works well with longer top styles and pairs beautifully with facial hair.
Buzz cuts are growing out—literally. Slightly longer lengths on top add texture and personality while keeping the look low-maintenance.
Popular among men who want to embrace their natural wave pattern, this style pairs dry cutting for shape with minimal styling for everyday wear.
For men with curls or coils, fall 2025 is all about definition without stiffness. Layering, curl-specific dry cutting, and moisturizing styling products help bring out the best in your natural pattern.
No matter your style, healthy hair is non-negotiable. We cater to all hair types—smooth, curly, textured, or chemically processed—and use products that keep your hair strong, hydrated, and manageable. For men with processed hair, this means incorporating moisture-replenishing treatments. For natural curls, it’s about controlling frizz while keeping bounce and volume.
We also offer scalp treatments to address dryness, oiliness, or thinning—because great style starts with a healthy foundation.
This fall, men’s hair is all about tailored versatility—styles that look sharp but adapt effortlessly from work to weekend. By combining the right cutting method (wet or dry) with expert blowouts and personalized styling, we’ll create a look that’s not just on-trend but perfectly suited to you.
Whether you’re embracing your curls, refining a classic shape, or experimenting with something completely new, our team is here to make sure your style is ready for fall—and beyond. Step into the season with a cut and style that’s as confident as you are with the best men’s hairstyles from Chicago’s best hair salon.
