The Crew Cut
From young boys to business men, this style, a hold-over from the 1950s, was considered clean and wholesome. The cut is achieved most quickly and easily with clippers and is still the mainstay of small town barber shops across the country. The crew cut is also known as a “flat-top,” which means the top of the head is cut to give a flat, level effect, and the “buzz cut,” in which the hair is shaved as close as possible to the head. Since the 1960s, the crew cut has been considered the haircut of choice for the clean-cut, conservative boy, teen or man.
