Slick Back

A timeless, polished look where hair is combed straight back with a high-shine finish. Works great for professional settings and formal events.

What to Tell Your Barber

I want a slick back style — keep the top at least 5-6 inches long so it can be combed back smoothly. Taper the sides and back, no hard fade. I want it to look clean and classic, not trendy.
