Fade FAQs
What is a fade?
A fade is a barbering technique where the hair is gradually blended from very short — or right down to the skin — at the sides and neckline, up to a longer length on top. Done well, there’s no visible line where one length stops and the next begins, just a smooth, clean gradient.
What are the different kinds of fades?
The main difference is where the fade starts. A low fade begins just above the ear, a mid fade sits around the temples, and a high fade starts higher for a bolder contrast. A skin (or bald) fade takes the shortest point right down to the skin. Your barber will help you pick the one that suits your hair and how you like to wear it.
How often should I get my fade refreshed?
To keep a fade looking its sharpest, most guys come in every 2 to 3 weeks. If you prefer a more grown-out, natural look, every 4 to 6 weeks works well. It’s worth booking in advance so you can always get your regular slot.
