It’s amazing how a good haircut can change your features in an instant. There are a couple of TikTok videos on the Internet where dads shave their beards and they aren’t recognizable by their kids. It’s the same way with a good haircut.

Back in the 90s, long hair and beards were the styles. We see tons of rockstars and our grandfathers wearing a long beard and hair. However, times have changed.

These 73 men looked extremely different from their before pictures. From an unkempt and long hair to debonair in just a few careful clips of the scissors. Don’t believe us? Check out these before and after pictures.

1. Impressive Ponytail Length

This man hadn’t gotten a haircut in over seven years. It was getting a little long. If he went any longer, he was going to start accidentally stepping on it.

2. Rockstar Transformation

He always wore his hair just like a grunge rocker would — long and crazy. He even used to get highlights in it occasionally. His new cut is much more up to date and stylish.

3. Gel Use

Here we have another lovely makeover. The length change isn’t enormous, but the shorter hair lends itself to being spiked up with gel. It’s a cool new look for the man.

6. Volunteer Cut

He used to have really long locks. However, he cut them off for a good cause. All of his hair was donated to a charity for people who are battling cancer and have lost their own hair due to chemotherapy.

7. Youthful Energy

This man’s hair used to frame his whole face, but not in a good way. His short cut is a big improvement. He looks so much younger now than he did before.

10. Adult Haircut

The long hair was very messy and unkempt. The new trim works much better for him. He went from looking like a rebellious teenager to looking like a real grownup.

11. Bearded Man

The haircut was much needed. Things were getting very wild beforehand. It was so bad that his ear gauges weren’t even visible! The long hair just flowed right into the beard.

14. Daring Change

Going from long to short can be very daunting. Once you cut it off, it’s gone for good. Although, in this case, it seems like it was definitely a good choice.

17. Medium To Short

He had medium-length hair in the past that covered his ears, but it didn’t quite reach the shoulders. Now, the sides are completely buzzed off and he is able to wear his hair up with gel in it.

18. Mixing It Up

The beard and hair combination made him look like an old man. Now that he has gotten it cut, his youth is finally able to shine through again. His friends probably won’t even recognize him.

20. Going Short

He made a lot of length gains over the years, but it wasn’t worth continuing on. Five years after starting to grow out his hair, he decided to get it chopped off. Shorter hair is so much easier to deal with.

21. Good Call

He was handsome before, but now he looks even more amazing. His slick new cut is a big change, but it was a good decision. We imagine that he will get a lot of compliments.

23. Just A Trim

His hair never got as long as some of the others, but it was starting to get in front of his eyes. A couple of inches off made a big difference for him. He looks significantly younger.

25. Clean Cut

His long hair was pretty rad, but it had to go. It was weighing him down. He feels so much lighter now that it has been cut off.

26. Mustache Stays

He grew his hair out until it was several feet long. However, eventually, it started getting sort of ridiculous. He kept the mustache but trimmed up everything else.

27. Nirvana Fan

He had a grungy Kurt Cobain sort of vibe going on before his hair cut. It looked good, but it was definitely out of style. He would have fit right in back in the 90s, but in the current year, not so much.
