I'm going to keep this as short and sweet as I can. I'm a transguy looking for a decent haircut. I don't expect a perfect cut, but I don't want one I'll look ridiculous is. Problem is I know absolutely nothing about haircuts and styles. Every time I go to a stylist/salon, I just tell them how much I want hacked off. Currently my hair is barely above my earlobes, but it's still not short enough for my liking. However, I have a chubby round face, which is making me hesitate to cut shorter and because I don't know how to find a better cut. I've tried looking online and it's useless. If I go into a shop, I'll probably spend hours glimpsing through pictures, asking annoying questions, and figuring things out. So help please. I'm not sure if this also matters, but my hair is like a dark brown, sort of auburn as it has some red tinting in it in certain lighting.
I basically got an androgynous/ pixie look and snipped it a little myself around the ears and bang area until I got something I could live with (at least until I can come out or move out). There are some FTM websites like Hudsons that have great general info about guy's styles and things to avoid. You could also try getting a knowledgable friend to help you. Good luck!
Hudson's Guide has a section on hair and styles that suit different face shapes. Maybe check there? For me, I looked up styles I liked and brought it in to the salon I went to and they took it from there. For me, my first hair cut was mid 2000s era Gerard Way and my partner's was David Beckham inspired.
If you haven't already, I would check out the tips on haircuts in this guide: The FTM's Complete Illustrated Guide to Looking Like a (Hot) Dude The guide really simplifies things and I personally found it really useful. Hope this helps!
