Having a good haircut is essential. But how do you communicate what you want when you visit your hair stylist? I suggest taking a photo of a hairstyle, so your stylist can help you achieve exactly what you want. You know what they say: a picture is worth a thousand words.

Shorter Hairstyles

What is a buzz cut? Basically your hair is sheered to the same length all over your head using clippers. I know guys who do this themselves with their own clippers. I wouldn't dare. See this Picture Gallery of Buzz Cut Hairstyles for Men.

Classic short hairstyles are just that--classic. No matter what hairstyles are in fashion, a short hairstyle always looks nice and no one will fault you for sporting one. My Picture Gallery of Classic Short Hairstyles for Men, Gallery #2 of Short Hairstyles for Men and Gallery #3 of Men's Short Hairstyles are great for ideas. But let's not forget another classic short men's haircut, Men's Spiked Hairstyles.

I also like shorter hairstyles that are styled for fashion shows like these Super Stylish Shorter Hairstyles for Men and More Super Stylish Shorter Hairstyles for Men. Additionally, these Messy and Tousled Hairstyles for Men are also mostly from various fashion shows.

Curly Hair

Have curly hair and don't don't what to do with it? This Gallery of Men's Curly Hairstyles and this gallery of Famous Men with Curly Hair might just inspire a new do.

Longer Hairstyles

More recently shaggy hairstyles have been quite in style. I thought it would be a passing fad but they seem to be a lasting trend. This Picture Gallery of Shaggy Hairstyles and More Men's Shaggy Hairstyles are great for inspiration.

Medium length hairstyles mean something much different for men than they do for women. See this Picture Gallery of Medium Length Hairstyles for Men to see what I mean. Here is Gallery #2 of Medium Length Hairstyles for Men and Gallery #3 Of Medium Length Hairstyles .

Long hairstyles for men, such as those in this Picture Gallery of Long Hairstyles for Men, are very popular right now. Clearly younger guys can get away with it since most men in the working world wouldn't be able to.

Celebrity Hair

Many of us use celebrities for style inspiration, I know I do thanks to David Beckham. After all, celebs have access to the best hairstylists and fashion designers at their disposal. Here is a gallery of My Favorite Male Celeb Hair and Young Male Star Hairstyles. But then there are the The Many Hairstyles of Colin Farrell, who has an amazing head of hair. And, of course, my personal favorite are The Many Hairstyles of David Beckham who inspired my own haircut.

Fun and/or Unusual

The faux-hawk, as it is aptly named, is a hairstyle that is a much tamer version of a Mohawk. Of course over the years many iterations of this hairstyle have come about. See my photo gallery of the different types of men's faux-hawk hairstyles.

The hairstyles in this Picture Gallery of Wild and Extreme Men's Hairstyles were created by a certain stylist for Joico, a hair products line. They are quite crazy as are these High Fashion Hairdos That Flop. Not that anyone would actually sport these hair-dos, but they are fun to look at.
