The Balbo consists of a floating mustache, a soul patch, and a disconnected beard along the jaw. It adds depth and dimension to narrow faces.

In recent times, the Balbo beard style seems to be synonymous with actor Robert Downey, Jr. The Balbo style can be broken down into three main sections. First, it requires one to grow a moustache. Secondly there is the hair from the chin taking note of the patch under the lip. The third part is the hair that is allowed to grow beneath the patch under the lip, resembling the low part of a typical beard. For reference the Balbo should resemble an inverted “T”.

The Balbo will suit men who have narrow chins. It is also a go-to style for men who may have been aiming for the Van Dyke but have had a couple of trimming mishaps.

Distinctive and stylish, the Balbo is all about precision. Get yours professionally groomed at Heritage Club Barbershop in Tampa and wear it with pride.
