First skin fade? What to ask for.

Short answer

Say how high you want the fade (low, mid or high), what length on top, and whether you want the line up. A photo helps more than words.

In detail

Three choices make the whole cut. Know them and you'll walk out with what you pictured.

  1. Pick the height.

    Low sits above the ear. Mid starts at the temple. High goes up to the corners of the head.

  2. Pick the top.

    Tell us in inches or fingers. "Two fingers on top" is fine.

  1. Line up or natural.

    A sharp hairline looks clean for a week. Natural grows out softer.

  2. Bring a photo.

    Of someone with your hair type, not just the style.

Tip. Text us to book Saturday mornings. Walk-ins wait longest then.
