Remember when everyone wanted a hard part shaved in?

Back in 2015, I must have done ten of those a day with a straight razor and a comb. Now, maybe one client a month asks for it. The fade is still king, but the details have gotten way softer. I think it changed when guys started asking for more natural, textured looks off Instagram. Anyone else notice their clipper work getting a lot less severe over the last few years?

Man, that's so true. It feels like the whole idea of a "sharp" haircut changed. Do you think it's just Instagram trends, or is there something bigger going on with how guys want to look now? Like, is it a move away from that super groomed, high-maintenance style completely?

It's the same shift away from perfect, clean sneakers.
