Summer 2026 seems to have been one long heatwave, and when Merseyside gets hot, people start smiling, everyone sits outside pubs, and men across St Helens suddenly discover shorts they haven’t worn since Benidorm 2019 – what a week eh lads!
Also, every lad under the sun wants a skin fade.
While we can’t do anything about the British weather deciding to turn us all into a sweaty mess, we can make sure your hair is looking good – even if nothing else is.
Why summer means fades
- Less hair
- Less heat
- Less chance of looking like you’ve been dragged backwards through a hedge after five minutes in the sun
A fresh skin fade or short men’s haircut is perfect for warmer weather because it’s clean, sharp and easy to maintain.
And when it’s 28 degrees outside and you’re already sweating while standing completely still, the last thing you need is half a kilo of hair product slowly migrating down your forehead.
Nobody needs that, especially not in Tesco.
Stay fresh
A regular haircut during summer helps:
- Keep you cooler
- Keep you sharper
- Keep you from looking permanently sweaty
- Make getting ready in the morning considerably easier
Whether you’re heading on holiday, going to a wedding, spending the weekend in a beer garden or simply standing next to a disposable BBQ pretending you know when the sausages are cooked, a fresh trim makes everything better.
Don’t forget your beard
Summer isn’t just tough on the hair on top of your head.
If you’re sporting a beard that would keep a small family warm throughout winter, August might be the time to get the thing under control.
We’re not saying shave it off.
Calm down, Viking.
A professional beard trim in St Helens can tidy the shape, clean up the neckline and remove some of the excess bulk while keeping your beard looking like an intentional lifestyle choice rather than something that’s simply happened to your face.
Cold drinks included
One of the perks of visiting us? Cold drinks. Because hydration matters, and because we’re nice like that. Sometimes.
So when it’s absolutely roasting outside, you can wander into The Men’s Room, escape the heat, grab yourself a chilled drink and sit down while somebody else does all the work. It’s basically a spa day, except there’s considerably more swearing and nobody’s putting cucumber on your eyes.
Beat the summer haircut rush
Here’s something we’ve learned over the years – the second the sun appears, everybody in St Helens, Eccleston, Rainford, Haydock, Sutton and the surrounding areas, suddenly remembers they need a haircut.
Then Friday arrives, and the panic sets in: “Any chance you can squeeze me in tomorrow, lads?”
Summer weekends, weddings, holidays and bank holidays can all mean our appointments get snapped up quickly, so if you’ve got something coming up, don’t leave your haircut until the last possible second, and definitely don’t be the bloke trying to book a Saturday appointment at 11am…on Saturday.
That road leads only to disappointment.
