The Best Beard Styles Trending in 2026 for Midtown Men

Signs It’s Time to Consult a Pro

Beards are evolving in 2026, focusing on clean, versatile looks that balance professionalism with personal style—perfect for busy Midtown professionals. At 969 Barbershop on 3rd Ave, our master barbers specialize in precise beard trims ($20) that enhance your features and keep you looking sharp.

How Often Do You Trim Your Beard to Maintain Shape & Growth?

Here are the top beard trends we're seeing this year:

  • Designer Stubble – The timeless 5 o’clock shadow: low-maintenance, masculine, and universally flattering.
  • Short Boxed Beard – Neat, professional trim that’s ideal for office settings while adding definition.
  • Corporate Beard with Fade – Seamless blend into your haircut for a polished, modern vibe.
  • Chinstrap or Goatee Variations – Bold yet subtle options for making a statement without full commitment.
  • Natural Short Beard – Embracing texture and slight growth for effortless confidence.

Pair any style with our straight razor shave ($35) for ultimate smoothness or a full haircut (fades $38) for a complete look. Our therapeutic atmosphere helps you unwind from the Midtown hustle.
