Q: What hairstyle is cool in China for guys? (female opinons welcome as well)
In need of a haircut.
I noticed that like 90% of cool Chinese guys here have that sort of undercut style with short sides, but long in the front and back, but I've unfortunately got huge ears and a long face, and I think it'd look sorta funny with that style.
Can anyone point me to a good Chinese style blog or something?

Not an answer I am afraid. What I miss here is good old fashioned barbershops. Go in, conversation goes, "usual?", "yup", flurry of scissors and out within 10 minutes. I can't be doing with these multiple hair washes, massages, each hair cut individually, Chinese haircuts. I want to be in like Flyn, and out the door faster than a British Leyland shop steward.

I like the scalp massage if a woman does it. If a man does it I still take it but it doesn't sit that well with me.

You can still find real barber-shops in Manila. They have kept the real barber-shop experience there, proper atmosphere, proper furnishings from the 50's that never changed because when it's right, it's right, straight-razor shave and everything.
Beats the heck out of how today in most places of the world they want a man to go into a 'salon' and it might as well be a place for the girls to go to.
My wife has been urging me to go to the haircut shop for 2 weeks now but when she saw my new hairstyle this morning she gushed and said my Mum was right...I am a handsome boy.
What I did was comb my hair perfectly flat, with a part on the left side, a la 1965. And that'll be the first time I've combed my hair in many a long day.
Comments from the workplace too. This might become the new normal.

I didn't mate. I just found a comb and combed it. Might get away without a haircut for another couple of weeks.
Do as the Chinese do - stick your head in a pencil sharpener.
Or...DIY, leaving those ever-so-sexy bald patches in the back
Or...Get a box-top (the 30-year rage in Guangzhou, even better if you have the head of a bulldog)
Or...simply tell your significant other that you screwed yet another xioajie last night and he/she will slap you upside the head and you'll look like most 30-year olds
Or...dye your hair "black hole" black, regardless of age, and affect the Mao style (30s, 40s, 70s or post-mortem).
Avoid the mullet at any cost.

6-pack" advice)
I'm a low maintenance kinda guy. I had long hair before coming to china but there is enough slack jawed luddites already so i went back to military style. I don't even own a brush or comb. Stick my head under the shower, a quick rub with a towel and out the door.
The guy who cuts my hair looks like the crack dealer for an outlaw bike gang but does a good job in less than 10 minutes with clippers and a scissor cleanup. 15 rambos and I'm done. The wife, lovely woman she is, maintains that he's robbing me. And I don't look like I'm heading off to the Gay Madi Gras in the way most Chinese hairdressers will leave you....and for a fistfull of red maos

Basically, if a Chinese guy likes it you should choose a different haircut.
A lot of Chinese guys use their haircut as a way to telegraph to the public that they are mentally retarded, have no cock and listen to Justin Bieber.
Wham was here in China more than 30 years ago and ever since all the cool guys in China have had Wham haircuts. and you can still see them now
