Here are some of our favorite Hakeem Lyon haircuts.
Most Stylish Hakeem Lyon Haircuts from Empire
1. High-top fade. Hakeem is one of the few celebrities that has brought the hide-top fade back to life. You probably remember this haircut from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air days and since then it wasn’t seen very often. But, when Empire hit the small screen, Hakeem was rocking the high-top fade. Nowadays this style is pretty popular, especially among the younger generation.

2. Natural waves. Some men would kill for waves that look this flawless! This hairstyle is very different from Hakeem’s well-known high-top fade but he’s able to pull off this look as well. The natural waves with shorter hair gives him a more grown up look but his baby face tones the look down just enough to keep it looking youthful.

3. High-top fade with design. Hakeem not only rocked the high-top fade but he took things a step further and added in a one-of-a-kind design that sends this hairstyle to the next level. The clean lines on the side of this style keep it looking fresh while still giving a nod to an old-time cut.

4. Another awesome design. We think this look is amazing! Have you ever seen a design that incorporates sharp lines and curves at the same time? Its one thing to pull of the high-top fade but it’s a completely different level when you’re able to display such an intricate design. We want to know who his barber is, ASAP!

Hakeem is certainly stylish! No matter what style he is wearing, his hair always looks perfect. I like that the high top fade is back. Now I’m thinking about the Fresh Prince days and singing the theme song.
I have to admit, I do enjoy designs in haircuts! Good for anyone who can maintain it! I can’t get myself in for a haircut but once a year 🙂
Those are all so cool. I am always impressed by these kinds of haircuts. So much detail.
I am always super impressed by the barbers that have this kind of skill! I can’t even imagine the precision this would take!
this young man looks good in all the different hairstyles. Takes an hair artist to get those special cuts on the sides. I would be afraid of making a mistake.
There is always something special about a sharp dressed man. All of those hair cuts are attractive. Barbers have to be artists these days to pull of such cool styles!
I love a close haircut on a man. These are really stylish
Ah, his hair is awesome. So clean cut, precise and he looks so good. I should start watching that show!
Really stylish! Love the clean cut look and the designs!
Those designs must take a lot of talent. Those are really cool looking. It would take a lot of maintenance to keep them looking good.
I have not seen this show, even though I have heard of it. I could see lots of teens duplicating these stylish hairstyles!
This is such a good TV show! I think these hairstyles are so cool with the designs.
I’ve never seen the show. It looks like he puts time into hair care and prides himself on its appearance.
These are really awesome hair styles. I love the way these look. The designs on the hair are amazing! I will share this post with a friend.
LOVE Empire! It’s such a great show. And Hakeem has some style, that is for sure!
