134 Incredible Photos Before And After A Haircut Prove A Good Barber Is Like A Plastic Surgeon
Some guys will go to great lengths to keep themselves looking good, spending endless hours at the gym, going to tanning salons, and getting outfitted in the coolest clobber. Others don't really care for this whole maintenance routine, as they were born Adonis-like. And of course, there's the third group of regular guys, who don't really bother themselves with cool hairstyles and fashion clothes. And we think that now and then, they really should.
Sometimes the secret to great style can be as simple as heading down to your favorite barbers and getting a men's haircut. Whether you are feeling adventurous or want a timeless, classic style, the best hairstyle for your head shape can make all the difference between so-so and downright sexy!
We at Bored Panda have compiled a list of the best before and after transformations of guys who bit the bullet and went for the chop. Some went from ugly ducklings to hot studs; others improved their looks even more with a trendy hairstyle. Although we think they all look great, check out the men's haircuts and the studs under them below and vote for your favorite!

Its neat how the long hair flattens the top of his head but when he styles the short hair, he's now taller with all that hair up there. Seems like it changes the whole shape of his face.

I don't think I've ever disliked a board panda thread as much as I've disliked this one... I love guys with long hair. meh..... stupid mainstream hair cut trends. lol

I love long hair on guys. I have to admit though that some of them look better in their after photos -- Either they just didn't suit long hair or their hair was really damaged. But for some of them... oh man the before pictures are just so hot.

well of course it makes a "differenence", you're dramatically altering someone's appearance. But is it necessarily better? What if longer hair expressed their personality better? To me, all the short haircut pix have a slightly more aggressive feel to them; less warmth and compassion (not to say a long haired guy can't be a douche too). But the "clean cut" look goes along with a whole set of energetic imprints about maintaining the status quo, authority, power over, etc. which is...uh...not my thing. Men have so few ways they are permitted to express their emotions and feminine side (don't go there, that's *not* what I'm saying at all), I feel like the haircut forces them into a model of masculinity and doesn't allow freedom of expression.
KK 8 years ago
Agreed. In this article it's 50/50 for me: Lots of the men had beautiful hair that could've stayed like that in my opinion. Some of them had badly damaged or matted hair and the cut was long overdue,
