What is a skin fade?

A skin fade is a hairstyle where the hair gradually blends shorter until it meets the skin. This fade is cropped closer to the scalp than a taper.

• High skin fade – Starts high on the head and fades quickly to the skin. ‍
• Mid skin fade – Begins around the temples for a balanced look. ‍
• Low skin fade – Starts near the ears for a subtle finish.

Why choose a skin fade?

• Modern style – Sharp contrast gives a trendy, eye‑catching look. ‍
• Versatility – Works with textured, slicked‑back or curly tops. ‍‍
• ‍Easy maintenance – Regular trims keep the fade crisp and clean.
