What Is a Taper Fade?
A taper fade haircut is a classic men’s style that gradually shortens the hair down the sides and back, blending into the neckline without fully shaving the skin. Unlike the skin fade, which goes right down to the scalp, a taper fade leaves a subtle finish — perfect for those who want a clean, neat look without being too sharp.

Benefits of a Taper Fade
• Versatile Style: Works with short, medium, and even longer styles on top.
• Professional Yet Relaxed: Perfect for both work and casual settings.
• Low Maintenance: Keeps its shape well between cuts.
• Customisable: Choose from low, mid, or high tapers to suit your look.
• Balanced Finish: Great for clients who want style without the intensity of a skin fade.

Taper Fade FAQs
How is a taper fade different from a skin fade?
A taper fade gradually reduces hair length without shaving down to the skin, creating a subtle blend. A skin fade, by contrast, fades right down to the scalp for a sharper, more dramatic finish.
How often should I get a taper fade?
Most clients return every 2–4 weeks to maintain a clean and polished look, though this can vary depending on how quickly your hair grows.
Does a taper fade work with curly or textured hair?
Absolutely. A taper fade suits all hair types, including curly, wavy, and straight hair. Our barbers adapt the cut to complement your hair’s natural texture.
Can I combine a taper fade with a beard trim?
Yes — many clients choose a taper fade with a beard shape‑up for a seamless, well‑groomed style.
Is a taper fade suitable for professional settings?
Definitely. Its subtle finish makes it a top choice for men who want a stylish yet office‑appropriate haircut.
