Justin Bieber has long been a trendsetter in celebrity hairstyles, inspiring countless fans and barbers alike. Over the years, the Canadian pop star’s hair has been a major source of style inspiration, from his early quiff to his bleached blond shaggy look.
This week in New York City, the 30-year-old musician unveiled his latest transformation: a clean, razor-sharp buzz cut. Known recently for his unruly curls, Bieber has now opted for a more polished, minimalist style. Wearing an oversized yellow hoodie and tan trousers, the singer presented a fresh and refined image.
Barbers suggest that early in the year, like January, is a great time for a bold new look. A buzz cut is practical for summer and signals a fresh start. It requires little upkeep and lets people focus on their priorities, whether work or play. Its simple style is versatile and easy to maintain.
Bieber’s cut features a high blend point, but the fade length can be adjusted based on preference. Master barber and American Crew ambassador Lino D’Adderio explains that a lower blend point can extend the fade and provide better hair coverage. This technique, called “stretching out a fade,” means the shortest clipper length doesn’t need to go too high on the head, allowing for a smooth transition.
This isn’t Bieber’s first buzz cut. In 2017, he shocked fans with a platinum buzz, which he revisited briefly in 2021. His current cut is shorter than ever, using a clipper guard #2 or #3, which highlights the shaved sides and complements his lighter hair color.
Earlier this month, Bieber shared his new look on Instagram alongside studio photos and family moments with his wife Hailey and their son Jack, teasing new music ahead.
Justin Bieber’s bold haircut marks a stylish start to 2025, encouraging others to embrace change and fresh beginnings.
