Find Your Perfect Hair and Beard Combo

Feeling like your hairstyle is missing something? The right beard can complement your flow and change your entire look. From a subtle scruff to a bold, sculpted beard, facial hair can elevate your signature style – and we’re here to help you find your perfect match. Start with a quick visit to your local Great Clips salon for a haircut and beard trim. Bring along one of our top 4 hair-and-beard pairings and let your stylist help you achieve your desired look.

1. Combover + Medium Stubble

Keep it classy by pairing a combover with a well-groomed stubble, offering a balance between a clean-shaven look and a fuller beard! Combining the sleek style of a combover with a stubble will give you that timeless look with a textured twist. To achieve a medium stubble, ask your Great Clips stylist to trim your beard to around 1/4 of an inch, equal to a #2 clipper guard. This will give your facial hair some definition while maintaining the clean look that the combover brings. We recommend using the American Crew Firm Hold Styling Gel on your combover to add some extra shine to your new style! 

2. Fade + Boxed Beard 

If you’re looking for a polished yet versatile style, try combining a fade with a boxed beard! From a classic fade to a bald fade, this cut is perfect for all hair types. Plus, pairing it with a boxed beard will emphasize its clean, professional appearance. Elevate your facial hair by asking your stylist to define the edges of your beard while maintaining an even length. And don’t forget to check out our other haircare services for men

3. Man Bun + Full Beard 

There’s no better way to achieve a rugged appearance than by pairing your man bun with a full beard! This combo is a great choice for anyone who wants a natural style that’s easy to manage. Just twist your hair into a bun with a trusty elastic, let your beard grow wild (but not too wild), and you’re halfway there. For a truly polished look, swing by your local Great Clips salon for regular trims to keep your hair happy and healthy. 

4. Undercut + Short Stubble 

Pairing an undercut with a short stubble is the perfect balance between edgy and effortless! While the sharp contrast between long and short hair gives the undercut a bold look, adding a short stubble, 1/8 of an inch equal to a #1 clipper guard, to that signature style brings back the casual vibe. A great combo for anyone looking for a modern style! And with Clip Notes, your Great Clips stylist can get you that same haircut anytime, anywhere.
