Men's hair and grooming trends in Bristol for 2026
Our team of gents hairdressers have been reviewing men’s hair and grooming trends in Bristol for 2026, with some interesting results.
As leading experts in gents hairstyling and male grooming, the team at Franco’s Barbering Lounge have been considered an institution on Gloucester Road for decades when it comes to providing the best advice on men’s hair.
Another area that has been equally popular at our men’s hair salon in BS7 is the topic of male grooming, including beard shaping, beard trimming, beard colouring, grey hair coverage and moustache grooming.
We provide the full range of male grooming services.
Upcoming men’s hair and grooming trends in Bristol for 2026 will include:
Longer hair and more movement
We’ve seen an ongoing rise in demand for longer hairstyles for men, including a natural look and more movement. This trend will continue throughout this year.
Creating a longer hair look takes time, dedication and patience. We provide detailed men’s hair consultations for each client, with a bespoke plan of action.
The process of growing out hair, creating a longer hair look that works, and keeping hair in the best possible condition throughout is one of our top priorities for clients.

Prioritising products
Hair care for men is something our Bristol gents hairdressers take seriously for clients. Optimal hair health is the critical starting point for any man’s hairstyle.
We guide and advise all clients on their journey to better hair health, and provide bespoke advice on which products will suit them over a series of appointments.
Our gents hairdressers in BS7 work with the world’s best hair product brands, including American Crew, EVO, Mariner Jack, Pasta & Love, Moroccan Oil and Orofluido.
Gents hairdressing with scissors
Our gents hairdressers are fully trained and qualified to provide the best services for clients at our Gloucester Road men’s hair salon. This includes scissor work.
The same training regime at Franco’s Barbering Lounge is given to all, with every team member following a structured training programme.

Big beards
There will be an ongoing focus in 2026 on beards, beard care and beard shaping.
A significant number of our services include male grooming as well as men’s hairstyling, and big beards have been massively popular for some time.
Beard products are vital here – for example, American Crew 2-in-1 Skin Moisturiser and Beard Serum is a bestselling product, whilst Mariner Jack’s Scented Beard Grooming range is a big hit, with its Newfoundland Pine and Sandalwood.
