Fades
Fade Haircuts & Skin Fades in North York
A fade is where the guard work shows. Every fade here is blended by hand with clippers and a trimmer, from a soft low taper to a bald skin fade, then checked in the mirror from both sides before you leave the chair.
What's included
- Low, mid, high, drop or skin fade — whichever suits your head shape
- Hand-blended guard work with no visible lines between lengths
- Razor line-up on the hairline, temples and neck
- Hot towel finish and styling advice for growing it out
Skin fades that stay clean
A skin fade looks its sharpest for about two weeks. If you want to keep that look year-round, most clients come in every two to three weeks; a longer taper stretches to four. We'll tell you honestly what your hair will do in between.
Fade with a beard
Fades blend into beard work at the sideburn, so a fade and beard together read as one clean line rather than two separate services. Booked together it's $60.
Who it's for
Anyone who likes a sharp, short-sided look, from a subtle low taper for work to a high skin fade. Fades suit most hair types, including straight, wavy and curly hair.
Common questions
What is the difference between a low, mid and high fade?
It is where the shortest part starts. A low fade begins just above the ear, a mid fade around the temple, and a high fade near the top of the head.
How often should I get a fade touched up?
Skin fades start to soften after about two weeks. Most people come back every two to three weeks to keep the blend crisp.
What is the difference between a taper and a fade?
A taper shortens gradually only at the sideburns and neckline, while a fade blends down around the whole back and sides.
