Undercut Styles We Offer
Classic Undercut
A timeless style featuring short sides and longer hair on top. This option works well for clients who want a clean, polished appearance.
Faded Undercut
The sides gradually transition from shorter to longer hair, creating a softer and more blended version of the traditional undercut.
Disconnected Undercut
A sharp contrast between the longer hair on top and the closely cut sides, with little or no visible blending between the two sections.
Textured Undercut
The longer hair on top is shaped and textured to create movement, volume, and a more relaxed modern appearance.
Curly Hair Undercut
An undercut can reduce bulk around the sides while preserving the natural texture and volume of curly or wavy hair on top.
Slicked-Back Undercut
A clean, structured style in which the longer top is combed or styled backward. It can be adapted for professional, formal, or everyday wear.
Why Choose Dandies for an Undercut?
At Dandies, every undercut is customized rather than treated as a one-style-fits-all haircut. Your barber will discuss:
The length you want to keep on top
How short you want the sides and back
Whether you prefer a fade or sharp disconnection
Your natural hair texture and growth pattern
How much styling and maintenance you want at home
Whether the haircut should look professional, bold, classic, or modern
Our goal is to create an undercut that looks balanced from every angle and remains manageable between appointments.
Undercuts for Different Hair Types
Undercuts can be adapted for straight, thick, fine, wavy, or curly hair. The best cutting and blending technique depends on your natural texture, density, and preferred style.
Clients with thick hair may benefit from additional texture and weight removal. Clients with fine hair may need a shape that preserves fullness on top. Curly-haired clients can use an undercut to reduce excess bulk while highlighting their natural curls.
Maintaining Your Undercut
Most undercuts require regular cleanup around the sides and back to maintain their shape. The appropriate appointment schedule depends on how short the haircut is and how quickly your hair grows.
Your barber can also recommend:
How to style the top
Which direction to comb your hair
How much product to apply
Whether to use a matte or polished finish
When to schedule your next haircut

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an undercut haircut?
An undercut is a hairstyle with shorter hair on the sides and back and noticeably longer hair on top. The sections may be blended together or intentionally disconnected.
What is the difference between an undercut and a fade?
An undercut usually creates a stronger contrast between the top and sides. A fade gradually transitions between different lengths. The two techniques can also be combined to create a faded undercut.
Can an undercut work with curly hair?
Yes. An undercut can reduce bulk around the sides while leaving enough length on top to display the hair’s natural curl and texture.
Can I get a professional-looking undercut?
Yes. A classic, tapered, or softly faded undercut can create a clean appearance suitable for professional settings.
Should I bring a haircut photo?
Reference photos are used for inspiration and consultation purposes only. We do not guarantee or offer exact photo matching.
At Dandies, we create clean, modern undercuts customized for you. Your barber will explain how the requested style can be adapted based on your hair texture, density, growth pattern, face shape, current hair length, and overall suitability.
How often should I maintain an undercut?
Maintenance varies based on hair growth and the length of the sides. Shorter and more defined undercuts generally require more frequent cleanup than longer, softer styles.
