Men's Haircut Melbourne: The Right Cut for Asian Men (No Guesswork)

Asian men's hair is different — thicker, straighter, and often grows in unexpected directions at the crown and nape. A standard barbershop clipper cut usually leaves a harsh line at the back because Asian hair is too coarse to blend smoothly with just clippers. LUXM Salons specialises in men's cuts using scissors and texturing techniques.

Why most barbershops fail Asian men

Typical barbershops rely heavily on clippers with no graduation. On Asian hair, this creates a visible "step" at the occipital bone. Also, many barbers don't know how to handle the multiple cowlicks that Asian men often have at the crown.

LUXM men's haircut process

Dry pre-cut – Stylist cuts the shape dry to see how the hair naturally falls.

Shampoo + scalp massage – Using Kerastase Homme or Aveda rosemary mint.

Wet refinement – Fine-tunes weight distribution and removes bulk internally.

Neck and sideburn detailing – Razor or trimmer used only for the very edges.

Best men's hairstyles for Asian hair

Two-Block Cut – Korean classic. Top is left longer, sides and back are short but not shaved. Works for thick hair.

Textured Crop – Fringe sits just above eyebrows, top is point-cut for texture. Low maintenance.

Japanese束感 cut – Top has visible "strands" created by slide cutting. Looks clean but natural.

FAQ

How often should Asian men get a haircut?

Every 4-6 weeks. Asian hair grows about 1.5cm per month, and the shape loses definition quickly.

Can LUXM do a fade on Asian hair?

Yes, but they use a combination of clippers and scissors to avoid the harsh step. Ask for a "tapered fade with scissor over comb".

Do you offer beard trims?

Yes, at all LUXM locations.
