Here at 18|8 Fine Men’s Salon in Brookhaven, we understand how the right beard can elevate your style and give you the look that is perfect for you. Whether you are going for a more manly appearance or just want to show off your unrivaled facial hair growing ability, beards really are the style piece for the face. While there have been hundreds of beard styles throughout the world for centuries, we have put together a short list of the five best of 2015 just for you.

The Top Beards

  1. The Short Boxed Beard – This style is great for anyone that does not want to go with a full beard, and helps highlight the cheekbones and jawline. The hairline extends about an inch below the chin and does not extend to the neck, but be sure not to cut your neckline too high. This beard is perfect for men with angular, heart-shaped, round-shaped, and oval faces. It does require work to maintain, and you will want to use a close crop and defined edges to exemplify that professional, put together look.[fusion_builder_container hundred_percent=”yes” overflow=”visible”][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none”]Man with short box beard
  2. The Shadow – Perfect for those who can grow facial hair rapidly and have a defined chin and jawline. While it may not seem like it requires maintenance, the trick to keeping this beard in check is giving it shape and tidying it up so that it does not appear messy. Trim right under the jawline every day for that simple, effective five o’clock shadow look.[/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none”]Man with a shadow beard.
  3. The Tight Beard – Providing definition and character, this beard is a bit more involved because it requires you to grow facial hair above the chin. Connecting evenly from the cheeks to chin and mustache line, the tight beard needs to be maintained so that it does not grow out too long. For those that grow facial hair very quickly, this may be a difficult style to sport.[/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none”]Man with a tight beard.
  4. The Olde English – For those going for a more rugged appearance, the Olde English incorporates a few beard styles into one. Providing full coverage, this particular beard will give you a unique look and can help those who have a weaker jawline or chin by simply covering them up. If you want to be remembered for your beard, this is one of the styles for you.[/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none”]Man with an olde english beard.
  5. The Full Beard – What beard list would be complete without the full beard? With very little maintenance and coverage of the entire lips, cheeks, chin, and jawline, this style works wonders for any facial structure, as long as you have the patience to let it develop fully if you are a slower facial hair grower.[/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none”]Man wearing sunglasses with a full beard.
