The Short Back and Sides haircut, otherwise known as ‘The Caesar’ dates back to the Roman Empire which existed a very long time ago, around 27BC! If you don’t know how old that is, it’s over 2046 years old. During these times, there was a high level of conflict between competing empires so it was decided that all men were required to have their hair cut short, and faces clean shaved so enemies could not grab these areas and pull them during combat to create an unfair advantage.
The Caesar has since transitioned during the past 2046 years, through many empires and while it continued its traditional short back and sides cut, during the late 1900’s the top was changed to match the customers styling requirements.
