Fade &
Taper
BLENDS WITHOUT LINES
A great fade disappears — no steps, no shadows, no harsh weight line. We blend through every guard with flick-out technique, then erase the transitions with open-blade detailing until the gradient melts from skin to length.
Choose skin for maximum contrast, mid for the classic balanced look, or a taper when you want the sides neat but the silhouette natural.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
- Skin, mid, low or taper blend
- Lineup with crisp front and temples
- Razor neckline shave and hot towel
- Top tidy and style finish
The Process
From bulk
to blend
SET THE GUIDELINE
We agree the fade height and shape first — it frames the whole cut, so it comes first.
BLEND UP
Guard-by-guard blending with lever play, working the gradient until no single line shows.
DETAIL DRY
Foil-shaver and open-blade cleanup erase stubble shadows and sharpen the blend.
LINE & FINISH
Crisp lineup, hot-towel neckline shave, then the top styled to match the sides.
QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
How long does a fade last?+
A skin fade looks sharpest for 10–14 days and stays presentable for about 3 weeks. Most fade clients rebook every 2–3 weeks.
Skin fade, mid fade or taper — which suits me?+
That's the consult. Skin fades flatter strong jawlines and darker hair; tapers suit conservative workplaces and wavy textures. We'll match it to your head shape.
Do you use a straight razor?+
Yes — every fade ends with a razor neckline shave and hot towel, plus foil detailing where the blend needs it.
Can I add a beard shape to my fade?+
Absolutely — pair it with a beard shaping, or book the full Hair & Beard Transformation for the complete reset.
