Low-maintenance haircuts: little styling and fewer trips
Low maintenance can mean two different things: little time styling each day, or few trips to the stylist. They do not always go together. A very short clipper cut needs no styling but is usually trimmed often; a longer cut may need a comb and a trim only every couple of months.
Every cut in the catalog has a typical upkeep guide on its barber card (a general guide, not a rule, and hair differs). This page uses it: 32 cuts need only a comb or brush through (about 2-5 minutes, or none) and a haircut every 4 weeks or longer.

No styling, but frequent trims
These need little or no daily styling, but the guide has them back at the barber more often: Buzz cut with fade and Crew cut. If you would rather skip the morning routine and do not mind the chair, they suit that.
How to use this
Pick the kind of low maintenance you want, try two or three cuts on your photo, then open the barber card for the full upkeep line and tell your stylist how much time you have each day.
How to compare them
Use a clear front-facing photo in even light. Try two or three cuts from the lists above on the same photo and look at the outline, the length and how much styling each seems to need. When one feels right, open the barber card: it writes the cut out field by field in English and Chinese, with guard numbers in millimetres, and you can change any field before you save it. The card records the look you want and starting measurements; your barber checks and adjusts the final cut. The picture is illustrative.
FitMyFace hair previews are approximations, not predictions of how your hair will fall, curl or grow. Ordinary hairstyle try-ons perform face analysis on-device. The optional AI previews (hair and glasses) send a photo to Cloudflare; your consent is the one "I agree" on the scan screen, and a switch on the results turns them off.

Questions
Is the upkeep guide exact?
No. It is a typical guide worked out from how the cut is made. Your hair texture, density and growth rate change it, so ask your stylist.
What about thin or thick hair?
See fine, thin hair and thick straight hair.
Are these cuts for women over 50?
The catalog is not age-specific. See haircuts for women over 50 and 60 for the women's cuts by length.
