The 90’s Are Back: Embracing Retro Styles with a Modern Twist

Remember the iconic looks of the 90s? From classic curtain bangs to frosted tips and sharp fades, that decade certainly left its mark on men’s fashion and grooming. And guess what? The 90s are back, bolder and more stylish than ever! At Zaza12, we’re not just okay with it – we’re celebrating it, bringing these nostalgic trends into the modern era with fresh interpretations.

Hair is a statement of style, an affirmation of beauty, and a celebration of self.

Why the Nineties, Why Now?

The resurgence of 90s fashion reflects a desire for individuality, comfort, and a touch of effortless cool. For men’s hairstyles, this means a fantastic blend of texture, volume, and clean lines. Think less boy band, more refined rebel. Our clients are asking for these looks, and our master barbers are ready to deliver with contemporary techniques that make them relevant for today.

Iconic 90s Styles, Reimagined:

  • The Modern Curtain Bangs: Forget the floppy, unkempt version. Today’s curtain bangs are all about controlled flow and texture, often paired with a clean fade on the sides for a sophisticated contrast. It’s a versatile look that frames the face perfectly.
  • Textured Crop with a Twist: The classic 90s crop gets an upgrade with added texture and movement. This low-maintenance style is perfect for those who want a sharp look that still feels relaxed. It works great with various hair types.
  • The Updated Spiky Hair: Not the stiff, gelled spikes of yesteryear! Modern spiky hair is softer, more natural, and focuses on creating dynamic texture with flexible pomades or creams. It’s about creating volume and direction without looking rigid.
  • Sleek and Shiny Comeback: While matte finishes have dominated, the super shine pomades of the 90s are making a grand return. We’re seeing more requests for polished, slicked-back looks that offer a bold statement, reflecting a resurgence of formal grooming.
