Meet the Editor: James Goodman

Licensed Barber, Former Barbershop Owner & Men’s Grooming Expert

James Goodman is a retired licensed barber and former barbershop owner with more than 15 years of professional experience in men’s hair cutting, styling, and grooming.

Beginning his barbering career at age 18, James spent over a decade and a half working directly with clients, mastering everything from classic taper cuts and fades to modern textured styles and beard grooming. Today, he serves as the owner and editor of Men’s Hairstyles Today, where he reviews, fact-checks, and oversees editorial content to ensure every article reflects real-world barbering expertise.

In addition to his work at MHT, James contributes to industry publications and continuously tests grooming products, hair styling tools, clippers, trimmers, and pomades to stay informed on the latest developments in men’s grooming.

Why Readers Trust Us

Unlike many grooming websites that rely solely on trend reporting, our content is created and reviewed by professionals with real barbering experience.

Our editorial process combines:

  • Professional barber expertise
  • Hands-on product testing
  • Consumer research and feedback
  • Industry trend analysis
  • Ongoing content reviews and updates

We don’t just discuss haircuts—we understand how they perform in real life, how they grow out, how they suit different face shapes, and how they fit various hair types and lifestyles.

Real Barber Experience Matters

After spending thousands of hours behind the chair, James learned that choosing the right haircut isn’t simply about following trends.

A great haircut depends on factors such as:

  • Face shape
  • Hair texture
  • Hair density
  • Growth patterns
  • Lifestyle and maintenance preferences

That’s why our haircut guides go beyond inspiration photos. We explain who a style works for, how to ask your barber for it, how to maintain it, and which products deliver the best results.

Favorite Professional Tool

After more than 15 years as a licensed barber and shop owner, James consistently recommends the Wahl Senior Cordless Clipper for professional use.

Its powerful motor, adjustable taper lever, cordless convenience, and reliable cutting performance make it one of the most trusted barber clippers available for fades, tapers, clipper-over-comb work, and everyday professional cutting.
