Men's Wedding Hair: Groom & Groomsmen Ideas

Wedding hair and grooming ideas for grooms and groomsmen — styles, beard work, the traditional hot-towel shave and when to book — at Wigs & Warpaint Sheffield.

Quick guide

For the big day, choose a style that lasts: tousled and textured, a classic slick (matte, not shiny, for the photos) or defined curls with cream. Book your cut two to three days before — not the morning of — and add a traditional hot-towel shave or beard tidy.

Key takeaways

Use matte product for a slick style so it doesn't shine in photos.
Book the cut 2–3 days before the wedding, not the same morning.
A traditional hot-towel straight-razor shave is a great groom treat.
Group bookings available for the groom and groomsmen.

Styles for the groom

Wavy and tousled for a relaxed, natural finish that holds all day; a classic slick for something formal — finished with a matte product so it doesn't shine under the photographer's flash; or defined curls tamed with a curl cream to keep frizz at bay.

The traditional shave and beard

Treat yourself to a traditional hot-towel, open-blade shave, or a sharp beard tidy if you're keeping it. Your barber will recommend how to look after the skin afterwards.

When to book

Book your cut two to three days before the wedding — not the morning of. That gives a fresh cut time to settle so it looks lived-in rather than just-clipped in the photos.
