Death of the undercut??

In 2019, I started to notice a significant decline in the number of undercuts I was doing. It's hard to pinpoint the exact reason for this change; perhaps it could be a case of undercut exhaustion, where people are simply looking for a fresh style to rejuvenate their look. Alternatively, it might be related to the fact that the undercut is often referred to by another name, which may affect how clients perceive it. Nevertheless, I still have a considerable number of men coming in who request undercuts, and some have even decided to try out this particular haircut for the very first time in recent months. However, it's worth mentioning that I don’t perform nearly as many undercuts as I did during the height of its popularity and trendiness. One noteworthy observation I've made is that many guys still appreciate a distinct disconnection between the top of their hair and the shorter sides, yet they are now opting to switch the location of that disconnection—resulting in a style where there's more of a pronounced distinction on the side they prefer to part from, rather than a standard undercut. I might receive more requests for these specific haircuts than the average barber in the area, largely because my Yelp page is predominantly filled with pictures of that style. The reason I emphasize using images of those haircuts is that since they're longer on top, they effectively showcase my ability to work with scissors, while the shorter sides illustrate my fading skills. Unfortunately, due to Yelp's superior search engine optimization compared to my own, when potential clients search for "haircut near me," they often come across my Yelp profile prior to my personal page.
