A good fade is all in the blend. We take the sides down to the skin, or as short as you want them, and work the clippers up so there is no hard line where one length meets the next.
We do skin fades, taper fades, low, mid and high fades, and drop fades that follow the back of the head. Tell us what you want on top, or show us a photo, and we will cut the rest to match.
What's included
- A fade taken down to the skin or to the length you choose
- The top cut with scissors or clippers to suit your style
- A sharp line up around the hairline, temples and neck
- A clean finish so it looks right from every side
