Fades and Skin Fades
A skin fade gradually reduces the hair from the longer section on top down to the skin around the sides and back. The position and length of the fade can be adjusted to create a softer or more defined finish.
Low, Mid and High Fades
- Low fade
- Mid fade
- High fade
- Skin fade
The fade starts lower around the sides, leaving more weight towards the top
The transition sits around the middle of the sides for a balanced look
The fade starts higher for a stronger contrast between the sides and top
The shortest section is taken down to the skin for a clean finish
fade usually takes around 30–45 minutes, depending on the haircut and styling required. Many people book a refresh every 2–3 weeks to maintain the shape. If you are unsure which fade to choose, bring a reference photo and let us know how short you want the sides.
We also offer haircuts for children and students

How to Pick the Best Hairstyle According to Your Personality
Before your haircut, tell us how you normally wear your hair, how much length you want to keep and what sort of finish you prefer. This helps us understand what you want before we start. A reference photo can also be useful, particularly if you want a specific fade, haircut or change of style. We can then discuss the length and shape and make adjustments based on your hair.
