This is for the man who runs a 5K before heading to a black-tie event. You know who we are talking about. He’s always on the go and he is always looking his best. Using precision trimming, this cut includes a short fade on the sides with a textured top. It’s easy to maintain and gives off a freshly-groomed vibe. Here is how the Esquire Groomers created the cut and style. (more…)
