Ivy League, quietly polished
Ivy League
Where can I get an Ivy League haircut in Dubai?
At M3 Barbershop City Walk or Detail. The Ivy League — sometimes called the Princeton — is a crew cut with enough length left at the front to take a side part and a comb.
This is the cut for the man whose calendar has meetings in it. It is short enough to be low-effort and long enough to look deliberate.

Barber
Michael Kosiakov
Books ivy league by the hour at M3. You pick the barber, the hour is yours, and the cut is shaped to you in it.
What makes a cut “Ivy League”?
Tapered sides, a short back, and a top left long enough at the front — usually four to six centimetres — that it can be combed to one side. Everything is scissor-shaped rather than clipped flat, which is what gives it its softness.
How do I style an Ivy League?
A pea-sized amount of matte paste or a light cream through damp hair, combed to your natural part, dried in that direction. Thirty seconds. Anything shinier will make it read old-fashioned rather than classic.
Is it a good office haircut in Dubai?
It is arguably the office haircut. It sits well under formal wear, survives a day in air conditioning and a walk outside, and it does not need a mirror at lunchtime.

Questions people ask
Ivy League or crew cut — what is the difference?
Length at the front. If you can part it with a comb, it is an Ivy League; if it is too short to part, it is a crew cut.
Does the Ivy League work with thick hair?
Very well — your barber removes weight underneath so the part sits flat instead of bulking up.
How often should I get it re-cut?
Every four weeks. It grows into itself rather than out of shape.
What does an Ivy League cost at M3?
