Men's Fade/Taper

A taper gradually shortens hair from top to bottom with subtle length changes, while a fade creates a more dramatic transition that blends down to the skin. Fades can be low, mid, or high depending on where the shortest point starts. Both techniques require precision and skill to achieve clean, professional results.

For the sharpest look, we recommend getting your fade touched up every 2-3 weeks. The fade line grows out quickly, especially around the edges. However, if you prefer a more lived-in look, you can extend to 3-4 weeks between appointments.

Yes! Our barbers are experienced in creating fades on all hair types, including straight, wavy, curly, and coily textures. We adjust our technique and clipper guards based on your specific hair type to ensure the best results and proper blending.

Low fades work well for round or square faces as they add length. Mid fades are versatile and suit most face shapes. High fades complement oval and diamond face shapes by creating visual balance. During your consultation, our barbers will recommend the best fade placement for your unique features.
