Also called the Gentleman’s mohawk, the South of France Haircuts are the staple of a cultured individual. It encompasses refinement, style, and class, but also a bit of panache – some sort of je-ne-sais-quoi that emboldens the look without screaming it out as the traditional mohawk does.
The South of France haircut is a wide mohawk invented by Usher Raymond and Xotics’ barber Curtis Smith. It can feature tapered sides, but not always. It typically comes with a burst fade with a slight twist around the ear area. The burst fade is called that because it seems to appear out of nowhere from around the ear. Now enough chat – let’s see some actual hair!
