Buzz Cut
Short • Low Maintenance
The Buzz Cut is one length all over, with no extra length on top.
Crew Cut
A crew cut keeps a short top that is longest at the front, about 2 cm, and gets shorter towards the crown, over sides tapered short with no skin showing. It sits between a buzz cut and the longer Ivy League cut, which has enough on top for a side part.

The crew cut is a classic short cut. The top is about 2 cm at the front and shortens towards the crown, so it can be brushed up and slightly to the side. The sides and back are tapered short with clippers and getting shorter towards the neck, but they stay hair, not skin. It looks neat on grey and salt-and-pepper hair and needs a trim every two to three weeks.
Who suits a Crew Cut?
- Straight or slightly wavy hair, including grey
- Anyone who wants a neat cut with a little to style on top
- Square faces. The short tapered sides show the jaw and the short top keeps the shape balanced.
- Diamond faces. A little length on top rounds out the head above wide cheekbones.
