Halloween is the one night of the year when hair becomes more than a style. It becomes a statement. The right cut, color, or shape can transform you completely. At The Cage by BVRBERBROS in Surrey, BC, we see every October as the perfect excuse to get creative and draw inspiration from the most iconic hair moments in film history.

Whether you want to go subtle or full transformation, here are a few cinematic looks worth recreating this Halloween.

Patrick Bateman – American Psycho

The Look: Slicked back, structured, and terrifyingly perfect.
Ask your barber for: A medium-length cut with even layers and a defined side part. Keep the neckline clean and natural for that Wall Street polish.
How to style it: Towel-dry your hair, apply a strong-hold gel, and comb it straight back. Finish with a touch of shine spray — Patrick Bateman would never settle for matte.
Costume tip: A sharp navy suit, red tie, and fake business card complete the look. Add a blood-splattered raincoat if you’re going for full psycho.

Tyler Durden – Fight Club

The Look: Messy, spiked, and full of chaos.
Ask your barber for: A short-to-medium textured crop with uneven layers. Keep the sides slightly shorter for a rougher finish.
How to style it: Work a matte clay or sea salt spray through dry hair, then use your fingers — not a comb — to spike it in random directions. The messier, the better.
Costume tip: Red leather jacket, vintage sunglasses, and a fake soap bar. Bonus points for bruises (fake ones, obviously).

Tony Montana – Scarface

The Look: Power hair for a power player.
Ask your barber for: A classic medium-length scissor cut with fullness on top and tapered sides.
How to style it: Blow-dry with a round brush for volume, then use a lightweight pomade to sweep the hair back and slightly to the side.
Costume tip: White suit, red shirt, and the words “Say hello to my little friend.” You can find affordable replicas on Amazon or costume stores like Party City.

The Joker – The Dark Knight

The Look: Wild, green, and unapologetically unhinged.
Ask your barber for: A mid-length layered cut that can hold some texture and curl.
How to style it: Spritz temporary green color spray (it washes out) and work a bit of styling cream to create that tousled, stringy effect.
Costume tip: Purple suit, green vest, white face paint, and a red smile. Everything you need is at Spirit Halloween or your local thrift store.

John Wick – The Modern Classic

The Look: Sleek, long, and deadly smooth.
Ask your barber for: A layered medium-to-long cut that naturally falls back. Keep the ends tidy and the beard cleanly shaped.
How to style it: Use a small amount of lightweight cream or oil and comb back loosely — no gel. Wick’s hair moves when he fights, not freezes.
Costume tip: Black suit, black tie, fake bruises, and a toy pistol. Add a fake dog collar if you want a subtle emotional callback.

James Bond – 007 Franchise

The Look: Cool, confident, and always in control.
Ask your barber for: A short, classic cut with a natural side part and a low fade or taper. Think timeless, not trendy.
How to style it: Work a pea-sized amount of pomade into damp hair and comb into place. Keep it simple — Bond doesn’t fuss.
Costume tip: A black tuxedo or tailored suit, a martini glass, and that calm, “license to kill” confidence.
