FADES FIT FOR YOUR STYLE
Fades come down to how the placement and shape of the blend affect the proportions of the entire haircut.
Your barber may adjust:
- Fade height to control where the transition begins
- Contrast for anything from a subtle blend to a sharper finish
- Hair texture and growth patterns to keep the transition smooth
- The style on top so the fade works with the rest of the haircut
- Grow-out so the cut continues to look balanced between appointments
Bring in a reference photo if you already know the look you want, or talk through the options with your barber before the cut begins.
FIND THE RIGHT FADE FOR YOU
Depending on the barber and service you book, fade styles can include:
- Skin fades blended down to the skin for a clean, high-contrast finish
- Taper fades focused around the sideburns and neckline for a more subtle transition
- Classic fades with a graduated blend that can be adjusted in height and contrast
- Razor fades taken especially close with razor work where offered
The right fade depends on how often you want to maintain the cut, how much contrast you prefer and the length you wear on top affects which approach makes the most sense.
A lower or more subtle taper can create a cleaner shape without dramatically changing the haircut. A skin or razor fade creates a sharper transition and stronger contrast. Your barber can help adjust the height and blend to fit your hair and overall style.
