In the chair
A skin fade only looks effortless when it is done patiently. We work the fade in stages — guard by guard — so the transition from skin at the bottom to length on top is a true gradient with no lines, no jumps and no patchy spots in the blend.
The lines are where a fade is made or lost, so we sharpen the edges and any part with a straight blade, and balance both sides so it is symmetrical when you face front. Skin fades grow out faster than a longer cut, which is why most men on a fade come back every couple of weeks — and we will flag when yours is due rather than letting it grow shapeless.
It pairs naturally with beard work, since the same clean lines that define the fade can carry into the cheek and jaw. Ask your barber and we will match the two so the whole thing reads as one deliberate look.
Who it suits
Men who like a sharp, defined fade and do not mind coming in more often to keep it crisp.
