Peaky Blinders Haircut

So I'm thinking of trying out a new haircut, but I'm not sure if its unprofessional or not. Don't want it to effect any internship prospects. Was thinking about getting the same haircut as Tommy in the Netflix show Peaky Blinders.What do you guys think?

A gal's perspective... I don't think that the "Shelby" is unprofessional in the least, as you're speaking of short or damn-near sheared sides/back with a bit more length on top.

That being said, I've noticed that this sort of haircut can make some men look very boyish/younger-than-you-might-what-to-appear.

Of course depending on your facial structure and overall build and appearance, your mileage may vary.

 

Depending on where you interview for internships, some may be off-put by what may be considered a "fashion-forward" haircut. I'd stick with a crew/ivy cut, then when you get the internship you can change your haircut.

 

An analyst I work with has a cleaner version of that cut and sports it well. If it looks good on you and you can pull it off clean then go for it. You should rock the Bateman cut like me.

The Tommy Shelby haircut is not professional

That said, all you have to do is blend the back and sides and you're fine. The harsh disconnect is the issue.

It's nowhere near as unprofessional as Arthur's haircut at least.

It's a good haircut if you have a defined jawline or a lean/defined face, I would say blend the sides and back instead of doing the harsh disconnect.
