Style guide
Taper fades are what we do. Here's how the low, mid and high variations differ, who each one suits, and the exact words to use in the chair so you walk out with the cut you pictured.
The fade starts just above the ear and hugs the neckline. Conservative, office-safe and the easiest taper to grow out cleanly.
The blend starts at the temple and drops to bare skin. Highest contrast of the three and the cleanest pairing with a lined-up beard.
The fade climbs above the temple, leaving maximum length on top for pompadours, textured crops and comb-overs.
Pick your barber, stack your services and lock in a time — takes under a minute.
Book an appointmentA taper is a gradual shortening of the hair around the neckline and sideburns. A fade is a taper taken all the way down — often to the skin — and carried further up the head. Every fade is a taper, but not every taper is a fade.
Pick by contrast. Low taper for subtle and professional, mid fade for a balanced everyday look, high fade when you want the shape to stand out and length on top to pop.
Skin fades look their sharpest for about two weeks. Low tapers stretch to three or four. Most of our regulars book every two to three weeks.
Yes. You can stack services in one booking — cut, beard, razor neck shave, kids cut — and we'll run them back to back with the same barber.
