There are haircuts.

And then there are teenage haircuts.

One local parent recently asked for help finding a barber for her very picky teen — thick, curly hair, high standards, and zero tolerance for “just okay.”

The community had thoughts.

Here’s who kept coming up:

Wyatt’s Barbershop – SSI

This was the clear front-runner in the thread.

Multiple parents praised Wyatt Hoffman, calling him:

• “Phenomenal”
• “Very specific to detail”
• “Best barber in town”
• “Amazing — my kid is super picky with his hair”

Wyatt himself chimed in, noting he’s trained in fades, scissor cuts, and detailed work — which matters a lot for thick, curly hair.

When multiple picky teens agree? That says something.

Jimmy’s Barber & Styles (Brunswick, near the Mall)

Several stylists were mentioned here:

• Rebecca
• Chelsea

One commenter shared that all her teenage grandsons go to Chelsea — which suggests repeat customers and trust with teen styles.

Signature Fades

Mentioned more than once — including shoutouts to LaRon.
If your teen wants clean fades and sharp lines, this might be worth a look.

Vann’s Barber & Style – SSI

Another SSI recommendation for families looking island-side.

Elegance & Style Barber Lounge (Brunswick)

Mentioned with a website reference and noted as open seven days a week. Good for scheduling flexibility.

CleanKuts (David)

Another local barber recommendation added to the mix.

Great Clips (Ask for Karen)

One commenter specifically recommended Karen by name — proof that even larger chains can have standout stylists if you find the right person.

What Parents of Picky Teens Care About

• Precision fades
• Scissor skill (especially with curls)
• Someone who listens
• Detail orientation
• Consistency

Teen boys don’t want “close enough.”
They want exact.
