Men's Haircuts

A men's haircut at SALT Salon + Spa in Antioch, IL is a tailored cut with a consultation, a shampoo and a style, in about 30 to 45 minutes. We cut short and clean, longer with texture, and everything in between, and we build the shape around how you actually wear your hair during the week.

What Is Included in a Men's Haircut at SALT?

Every men's haircut starts with a conversation. We ask how you wear it on a normal morning, how long you go between cuts, and what bugs you about it right now. Then we shampoo, cut and style, so you see the finished shape before you leave.

• Consultation. A few minutes to agree on length, shape and how it should grow out.
• Shampoo. Clean hair cuts more accurately and shows the real shape.
• Cut. Clippers, shears or both, depending on the style.
• Style. We finish it the way you will wear it and show you how, with product if you want it.

Men's haircut prices vary by stylist level. You will find current times and pricing in the Haircuts + Styling section of our Service Menu.

How Do You Ask for the Men's Haircut You Want?

Guard numbers help, but a photo of a cut you like, on someone with hair like yours, helps more. Bring one, then tell us three things:

1. How short you want the sides and back: a visible fade or a softer blend.
2. How much length you want to keep on top, and which way you push it: back, to the side or forward.
3. How many weeks you usually go between cuts, so we can shape it to grow out well.

If you are not sure, say so. We would rather talk it through for two minutes than guess.

How Often Should Men Get a Haircut?

Short styles with tight sides lose their shape fastest, so they need the most frequent visits. Longer, textured cuts can go longer between appointments. The simplest habit is to book your next cut before you leave, so you are never stuck waiting for an opening when it starts to feel shaggy.

Can Men Get Color Blending at SALT?

Yes. Men's color blending is a subtle way to soften gray without a dramatic, all over change. It is a good fit if you want to look like yourself, just a little less gray. Ask about it when you book your cut and we will plan the time. Our hair color page covers how we color and what we use.

What Other Services Are There for Men at SALT?

A haircut is not the only reason to book. On the menu you will also find:

• Brow wax. A quick cleanup that takes about 15 minutes.
• Back or chest wax. Done in our spa with a gentle wax made for sensitive skin. See our waxing page.
• Back Treatment. Steam, a double cleanse, exfoliation, a mask and a neck and shoulder massage. See our skin care and waxing page.
• The Groom's Bundle. A haircut, a brow clean-up and a SALT mini facial before the wedding. It is on our bridal page.

Which Products Do We Recommend for Men's Hair?

We carry Davines and Eleven Australia, a vegan hair care line, plus organic, vegan, gluten-free, sulfate-free and paraben-free options. You likely need two things at most: a shampoo that suits your scalp and one styling product that matches your cut. We will tell you which one and show you how much to use, because a little goes a long way.
