I swear someone needs to teach young men about pomade, hair gel, mousse, just anything at all about how to style and texture your hair. I guarantee the guy in the left pic doesn't look like that when he rolls out of bed, and if you want your hair to look like his, you'll need similar amounts of styling and product.

TBD the first photo is a dumbass haircut too, it’s just on someone with good bone structure

Yeah, the barber should have told you that cut doesn't match your bone structure.

That's not a chad haircut, that's the basic slavic haircut

If you look closely at the left picture the hair cut isn't actually good, the tattoos, beard, earrings and confidence is carrying.

You spent $100 to look like that?

100% his hair wasn’t long enough to begin with and the stylist told him so and he still went ahead. Also what’s chad about that? It’s a chav haircut and chavs are like the opposite of chad.

The problem is entirely you. The fact you want a "chad" haircut is the problem. It's probably for the best the biggest incel echo chamber is gone.

How about you actually put some product like wax or gel in your hair so you can style it properly?

He can become a youtuber with that haircut

The sound of hoof beats cross the glade!
Good folk, lock up your son and daughter!
Beware the deadly flashing blade,
unless you want to end up shorter!
Black Adder! Black Adder! He rides a pitch black steed!
Black Adder! Black Adder! He's very bad indeed!
Black - his gloves of finest mole.
Black - his codpiece made of metal.
His horse is blacker than a vole.
his pot is blacker than his kettle.
Black Adder! Black Adder! With many a cunning plan!
Black Adder! Black Adder! You horrid little man!

Yeah, this is a terrible attempt at that cut. The real thing is more of a fade while OP got a really high bowl cut. Lack of product doesn't help, but product can't fix the lack of fade.

Paying $100 for a haircut doesn’t always mean the stylist has the requisite skills.

They both look terrible.

Comb it up and back, with gel if necessary

You muh-muh-make me hu-hu-happy.

1. grow a beard
2. fix the cowlick in the front
3. show the sides, you coward, it might be a competent fade cut you're just not showing it from the right angle

Confidence makes the Chad, not the haircut.

Doesn't look like he has any product in his hair like the guy on the left. Still looks like the barber did a bad job tho.

If you're going to pay $100 for a bowl cut you should at least make sure they have a big enough bowl...

Chad-to-be gets to learn the hard way about lighting, styling, product lining, beard profiling... and facial structure.

After 20 years of terrible haircuts punctuated by occasionally decent ones, I just started shaving my head in parts every few years. If mechanics fucked me half as hard and half as often, I’d learn how to fix my own car. Prob’ly getting a tall Mohawk in a few months, but I’m not sure what I’m going with yet.

Something similar happened to me. I went to a really high end expensive barber and we talked for 15mins about what i wanted and I said that i'd like him to recommend things and go with his opinion. We found a hairstyle that I also liked. After the haircut 5 different people asked me if I cheaped out on my haircut because it looks like shit. They said its not even that the style if bad they said it looks poorly cut. I am never ever straying away from telling barbers "Cut it short on top #2 on the sides"
