Mid Fade Haircut 
Fade begins at temple height. Balances professional style with contemporary edge. Most requested fade at NYC barbershops.

High Fade Haircut 
Transition starts near the top of the head. Creates maximum contrast and bold look. Best for clients comfortable with frequent touch-ups.

Skin Fade Haircut 
Hair blends down to scalp level. Sharpest possible finish that demands precision clipper work. Popular with athletes and style-conscious professionals.

Taper Fade

  • Plan for 35-45 minutes for a classic haircut with fade. Simple trims take 20-25 minutes. Adding beard grooming adds 10-15 minutes.

  • Tapers gradually shorten hair but maintain visible length throughout. Fades blend down to very short length or bare skin, creating sharper contrast between top and sides.

  • Low fades and taper fades suit conservative workplaces. They provide clean sides without dramatic contrast. Mid fades work in most business casual environments.

  • Experienced NYC barbers adjust their approach for different textures. Curly hair often requires cutting dry to see a true curl pattern. Coily hair benefits from specific clipper techniques and product recommendations.

  • Use quality styling products as demonstrated. Avoid heavy oils that attract dirt. Book your next appointment before leaving to secure your preferred time slot.

  • Bring reference photos. Describe length preferences in specific terms like "half inch on top" or "blend starting at my temple." Mention your daily styling routine.

  • Hair should be clean but most barbershops wash hair as part of the service. Call ahead if you have concerns about showing up with products in your hair.

  • Matte clay or paste for textured natural looks. Pomade for shine and strong hold. Light cream for subtle definition. Your barber recommends products based on your specific hair type during the appointment.
