you want to go for. if you’re somebody who already has short hair or wants short hair, then you definitely should go to a barber for a men’s haircut. there is no styling necessary for short hair. barbers just take an electric razor and buzz off your hair. they may do some light cutting with scissors too, depending on how short you want it. but barbers are best for handling shorter haircuts.
a hairdresser is more appropriate if you have long hair that you want to keep long, but with a different style. there may be some light cutting involved too, but not nearly as much as what a barber does.
